6. Clinical Anxiety

   NurseK426 replied to hes1507's topic in SRNA

   I am an ICU RN currently considering CRNA school. I have to agree, Skip's post is one of the most discouraging things to read regarding Crna school. However, it's a reality (a very scary one) and it could happen to anyone. You sound passionate about ...

    NurseK426 replied to Damask's topic in New Nurse

    Congratulations on your first month, it's quite the accomplishment! :) It's so true - the first year does in fact fly by. It seems like just yesterday I was sitting at a desk taking the NClex and crying my eyes out, convinced I must have failed. I ha...

14. Anyone working in Baystate or Berkshire Medical Center?

    NurseK426 replied to grahamd01's topic in Massachusetts

    I would assume so. Especially since you've already had an interview, you're "on her list" so to speak and it sounds like she's going to keep you in mind. Good luck!

    NurseK426 replied to grahamd01's topic in Massachusetts

    That's so awesome congratulations!! You'll have no trouble getting hours while per diem, especially since summer is starting up. I was worried too before starting to float, but everyone was so accommodating and inviting, and you'll learn so much! It'...
