1. How to be on an ICU Nurse's good side?

   AGRN152 replied to Nkukiller's topic in MICU, SICU

   My response is similar to what others have already said: 1. If you're asking about a patient's condition or intake/output or any other data, are you asking because you truly want to know? Or is it...

2. Burned out

   AGRN152 replied to emmjayy's topic in MICU, SICU

   I would inspect your work life balance, as a preceptor, nursing instructor, and practicing nurse myself, I find that most of my peers who experience burnout is not because of the job itself but...

3. Tube Feeding And Hemodialysis

   AGRN152 replied to Chisca's topic in MICU, SICU

   As both a current critical care nurse and dialysis nurses I may have some insight. I have done hemodialysis in the inpatient setting for years and I have worked as an ICU nurse for years as well. I...

   AGRN152 replied to gravy94's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Per the ACCN, you can sit for the CCRN exam after you have worked 1,750 hours in a critical care setting post-orientation. When you apply to any college they are going to ask for transcripts from all...

5. Scared/feel unprepared for CRNA school?

   AGRN152 replied to Rnso's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I would also add that when you applied to nursing school you had no idea what to expect. You lacked the clinical knowledge and training to function as an RN and look at you know, you have a BSN, you...

6. CRNA Admission

   AGRN152 replied to gravy94's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   As far as CRNA admissions goes, I would say the amount of hours you work seems to be a big emerging topic. Many schools are asking you how many hours a week you work, an ICU nurse who is working 24-36...

7. University of Scranton CRNA 2019

   AGRN152 replied to TraumaSICURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   It will be interesting to see what experience the Cedar Crest College students have since the former director of U of Scranton CRNA program is the current assistant director of the new Cedar Crest...

8. Brand New Program: Cedar Crest College Nurse Anesthesia- PA

   AGRN152 replied to DaisyWinter's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I would highly disagree that $125,000 is the cheapest program out there especially if you're talking about Pennsylvania. These are some of the total costs for some of the CRNA programs in PA:...

9. GPA and GRE that you were accepted with?

   AGRN152 replied to themurse133's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   BSN GPA 3.86, Science GPA 3.9, NO GRE, 3.5 years of MICU/OHRU experience, CCRN-CMC

10. Allegation of Neglect

    AGRN152 replied to jaortiz20's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Allegations of neglect against the elderly is a serious accusation and dialysis is primarily an elderly-serving specialty, you will not be hired if this is found in your record. I've worked in...

11. 'My Patient died' Facebook post

    AGRN152 replied to miladaniels's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    We have fired nurse for less than that at one of my employers. It demonstrates a lack of understanding about appropriate work to personal life boundaries and I would personally say I would never post...

12. Am I overreacting?

    AGRN152 replied to Jvn11's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I will agree with most of the posts here and say that comfort comes from experience but you will always have a Day 1. Orientation, regardless of how big the unit or how expansive the amount of time...

13. Did you disclose your Plans for CRNA school

    AGRN152 replied to BSN24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I never understood why seasoned ICU nurses are salty that newer ICU nurses put in their 1-3 years and leave. This is a NATIONAL REQUIREMENT, if it wasn't a requirement, I can guarantee few...

14. Delayed admission decision

    AGRN152 replied to CCRN2go's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was once waitlisted as well, I will give you my personal opinion. Unless taking these courses offers you some sort of guarantee during the next cycle I would so move on to other schools. The worst...

15. Questions about past grades

    AGRN152 replied to SRNA209's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't know what schools you'll be applying to so take my advice with a grain of salt, but biochemistry is a tough science course and it is not an expectation for probably 90% of CRNA programs. It...
