1. Taking a Pay Cut

   poodlicious replied to scrubbleuffagus08's topic in General Nursing

   Don't take the OR job. You can do all the fun nursing stuff while you are in school. While I was in school, I worked as a receptionist PT at an assisted living. I could study and do my own thing. There will be no room for that in the OR. And OR nursi...

2. Confused & don't know what to do

   poodlicious replied to putmetosleep's topic in CRNA

   How about this... remember how it felt your first days in the MICU? Were you unsure of how to care for your patients? Want to leave and never come back? Everyone feels this when starting something new. Totally normal. I just started in the ICU and I ...

3. GRE.. pointless exam??

   poodlicious replied to cvicu80's topic in SRNA

   The GRE is similar to the SAT and ACT as it is based on verbal and math skills, as well as a writing portion. Hopefully, I'll study more this time around :)

7. ICU Interviews do's and oh no she did not's!!

   poodlicious replied to lpn2crna1day's topic in CCU

   My ICU interviews were brief. They wanted to hear about my future goals (even if that means CRNA, NP, etc.). The director of the unit wants to know that you are able to learn and grow there. Most of the unit directors just spoke about what the unit...

8. Self diagnosis via internet

   poodlicious replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

   As a patient today, this is soon going to be unavoidable. We are surrounded by health information in the media and for good reason, our health is at stake. We are becoming a population diagnosed by webmd. Within reason, I think it is harmless.

   poodlicious replied to rubyrn36's topic in SRNA

   i think it is only natural to wonder this. there is a lot of time and effort that must be put in. but, the squeaky wheel gets the grease! :)
