    LuvMyGamecocks replied to donnar232's topic in General Nursing

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Mimi's nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Me, too. I'm 28 years old and it's driving me CRAZY not to be in a class this summer. I guess the only thing we can do is bottle up this motivation and spread it out as best as we can among the...

  4. I want to become a CRNA

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Mimi's nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Since ICU experience is necessary, check out this website. Call me a dork, but I read it for fun. Maybe it'll help me in some sort of way. If nothing else, it's a GREAT indicator of an ICU RN's...

  5. Can anyone offer some advise???

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in General Nursing

    The options for RNs are SO extensive that you may not work in a hospital. Nurses, correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't hospitals and LTC generally where you should be concerned about holiday schedules?...

  9. Would you go to work tommorow?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to royr's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't figure out how to go back that far to copy and paste, but Angie O'Plasty made a good point...a lottery winning nurse would more easily become a target for a lawsuit happy patient. It's such...

  10. How narrow is the path?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to zaggar's topic in General Nursing

    While I do agree that having family at home (husband, wife, kids, etc.) does impact one's education, I do not agree that these things WILL bring your grades down. On the contrary, my children are my...

  11. Pet peeves!

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    The only pet peeve I can have, having not yet begun clinicals, is when those that don't have a clue as to how to treat their medical problem complain about the diagnosis they're given or the provider...

  12. Cesarean Art exhibition

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Selke's topic in Ob/Gyn

  15. Why did YOU choose OB nursing?

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to tabbeycatt's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sure I can answer this one on my own, but since you pro's said it...If OB nursing is great 90% of the time, what is it about the other 10% that makes you go home to cry? Addicted babies? Moms that...

    LuvMyGamecocks replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Operating Room
