Judge not...

To the original poster, examine your feelings, as others have said. Then make your decision. Maybe you could job shadow just to be sure once they have offered you the position (not an uncommon request in other fields, not sure about this one). Good l...

Alaris pumps are great!

Well SAID!:yelclap:

Suggestions to make it LESS hard: Ask questions in class, sit up front to minimize distractions. Get to know your instructors and go to study sessions given by the instructors. Don't do student + student study groups (waste of time) or if you do, fin...

I trust faith. I am praying for you tonight. Look over your questions in NCLEX books. You DO know the info-you got through nursing school! You CAN do it. You ARE prepared. You WILL succeed! Cut and paste this on your bathroom mirror. Stay positive ...

No way, sorry. That's my two cents. Few schools accept NICU. You really need adult ICU to be comfortable in CRNA school (and to get in) from what I can gather. Good luck!

My ultimate goal is to become a CRNA. I am graduating this December. My question is: I am attempting to choose between a position in SICU with internship (10 bed combined CICU & SICU) at one local hospital and a Critical Care Intership (16 weeks...

"if they are not very sick apply for a direct spot into the ICU at the Level 1 trauma center with the SICU experience under your belt and forget the intership stuff with the bait and switch tactics." Hi! Thanks for your response. How do I know (or wh...

Are you joking? Yikes. You really don't know much at all.:uhoh21::angryfire

Hi there. Unfortunately, no. No protection at all for gays and their partners.

"It just seems so unprofessional to me. " Elleann UNPROFESSIONAL?!? Are you kidding me?!? Nurses, historically, have been systematically given the cold shoulder, being paid the "woman's wages" to do the "woman's work!" Get real! If we don't sick up ...

Oops. I mean Cincinnati

Kettering College in Ohio, then on to University of Cincinatti for BSN (in 1 yr post-grad!) and CRNA!!!:monkeydance:

I just finished 2nd semester of a 5-semester program. Questions are much harder, because you have to choose between 4 correct answer and choose the BEST answer! It's all a test of critical thinking fused with lab values and S&S and care planning....

Those were great books. She has, like, 4 out. Two were "Intensive Care" and "Story of A Nurse," or somethng like that.

A & P is the hardest to get through!! :deadhorse :barf01: :barf01: Hate it! I'm in 2nd semester now. You have to make an outline and get to the library in one of those booths, and just learn what u need to pass! I'm an A student, with Cs in A&...

I cannot believe the nerve of you. Ugh! Nursing is not an "alternative" to dental school...seems like you just are trying to find the easiest way out! Well, I'd say stick with your cushy, white collar DENTAL school plans, as NURSING (sp!) will kick ...

Absolutely ridiculous to say that a new grad needs 6 months to learn IV starts! I'm a nurse tech and COULD start neonatal and adult IVs no problem, if nurse techs started IVs. Alot of us have extensive pre-RN nursing experience in critical care units...
