    "One-page Statement of Purpose as to why the applicant is pursuing graduate education in Nurse Anesthesia." Don't over-think it. What made you want to become a CRNA? What are you going to do when...

  6. Difficult Doctors:  Tips for Students and New Nurses

    ICU/EMTP replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Been there, done that. I was told that we had certain providers that didn't EVER want to hear "I don't know." I made sure I told them that on the regular. I have multiple patients to care for, and you...

    ICU/EMTP replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Call it what you like. There is a reason that this behavior is institutionalized in healthcare. And again, I think you need to check up on the definition of

    ICU/EMTP replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    If you think standing up for yourself is being a bully, you're obviously part of the problem. Encouraging the culture of just taking

  9. Difficult Doctors:  Tips for Students and New Nurses

    ICU/EMTP replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    It's worked for 27 years, so I think it's ok. You never let a conflict interfere with patient care. I'm talking more about personality conflicts with difficult people. They continue to be difficult...

  10. Difficult Doctors:  Tips for Students and New Nurses

    ICU/EMTP replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Pro tip? Give them back exactly what they give you. Nobody in the hospital is more important than anyone else. If the doctor doesn’t show up tomorrow, we’ll get by, but what if environmental...

    Unlike many schools, they tend not to waste time interviewing people they don’t already want. Not to say a poor interview won’t disqualify

    ICU/EMTP replied to CRNAdegSeeker's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First semester was three days per week. 2 and 3 are four days. Most days are fairly short, giving you plenty of needed study

    Whatever you prefer, really. There is a mix in our class from iPads to laptops. You don’t need anything fancy, for sure. Need storage space for the

  16. CEO Says More Nurses Won't Improve Care

    ICU/EMTP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    To all the “yeah, buts.” There is no compromise, and it cannot be left for interpretation. Minimum staffing based on pure number of patients instead of their profit

    Too many folks here that seem to be part of the problem. Now we know why we can’t move

  18. CEO Says More Nurses Won't Improve Care

    ICU/EMTP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I know! I’ve seen it and it’s as pathetic as their denial of patient safety. Paid-for junk science. The best part is that <more staff=higher safety and satisfaction> has been proven by...

    And since the ANA does not support nurses, it’s time to leave them behind and take all our money with us. There are other, better organizations that will fight for

    ICU/EMTP replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Lol. Well I am just shocked!.. Safe staffing levels are the one irrefutable EBP that improves not only safety by satisfaction. It is also universally downplayed by every out-of-touch, soulless, greedy...

    Loving second semester even more than the first. Learning practical applications as opposed to all theory. Starting observation days in the OR. Naples is expensive, no doubt. You will want to look in...
