  1. Are there any certifications I can take to increase my salary??

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Hcc19's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow. You can literally work all you want here. Most I’ve done is 8 days in a row but my friend cosistently does 12-15 in a row. She makes over 150k gross and she’s been a nurse maybe 2 years...

  2. Do male nurses face gender bias in nursing education?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like I’ve been treated all round better for being male. Nursing instructors trusted me when they didn’t trust equally skilled females, patients trust me/do as I say more than they do female...

  3. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I haven’t had a bad experience at all nursing. I’m just becoming bored, the critical thinking I do in the ICU isn’t very deep, I still feel like a manual laborer much of the time. I look forward...

  4. My wife the nurse takes offense to my jokes

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Roger reed's topic in General Nursing

    I think that’s pretty sensitive. I often joke that RN stands for refreshments and narcotics. Everyone needs to lighten up, when I was in the Army we poked fun at ourselves too. It’s

  5. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I have no clue. I’m new on here, I’m mostly on student doc

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Why does your name say BSN

  7. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Where I live it makes more sense to go diploma and Rn to bsn. It’s .50 an hour less, and you and do Rn to bsn working easily. The coursework is laughably easy, almost all discussion forums and...

  8. Are there any certifications I can take to increase my salary??

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Hcc19's topic in General Nursing

    Pick up extra shifts for emergency/incentive pay as well as overtime. I found it pretty easy doing 5 days a week. I live in the Deep South. Cheap cost of living and making six figures is still easy...

  9. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I guess experiences vary. I found it very easy and the coursework very easy. The classes I’m taking now seem much more difficult than any I took in nursing

  10. Allergic to Benadryl?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Brittneesher's topic in General Nursing

    I am allergic personally to the red dye in most Benadryl tabs. I have to use the clear

  11. Ethical Question

    ArmyRntoMD replied to JK123's topic in General Nursing

    While strange, what was violated? Was HIPAA

  12. Are there any certifications I can take to increase my salary??

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Hcc19's topic in General Nursing

    Eh welcome to adult life. You’re going to have to work hard and live cheap until that debt is paid off. Nursing is one of the few jobs you can easily make six figures at with a 2-4 year degree....

  13. Nurses and Bullying: 4 Things You Can Do

    ArmyRntoMD replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    It’s easy.. you just stand up for yourself. We had this nurse who used to “bully” everyone on the floor. As a new nurse I just figured she was a very good nurse and expected the best from...

  14. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Where I am it is highly competitive which is good. It’s very different from NP, which seems extremely easy to get

  15. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I guess we’re spoiled where I am. I don’t know of any jobs outside of travel or the military that require a BSN. I got mine solely for the medschool requirement. Pay at the hospital I work at is...

  16. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    This is healthy. Sounds just like my situation. While my fathers side are all highly educated PHDs with their sh together, my mothers side out of 5 siblings not a single one even has a bachelors...

  17. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. And I really don’t know why at a minimum survey of organic chem and biochem are not requirements. As well as a basic physics or kinesiology class. PT OT aren’t the only disciplines that...

  18. The Stigma of Men in Nursing

    ArmyRntoMD replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve honestly not had but a couple elderly women have a problem with anything like that, and I do everything but change them. ??‍♂️ While I don’t mind changing patients I SURE wasn’t

  19. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I had never learned APA prior to RN to BSN. I was taught MLA. I was told my analysis of articles was “doctoral level” but made 88-90 on my papers. So I decided to look at other students...

  20. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    It was the best program in the state.. I wasn’t a nurse in the army. I was a grunt. Most all RN to BSN in my state are comparable. All online, 10 months long roughly, and it’s a bunch of opinion...

  21. Are boundaries ok?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to AlmostThere19's topic in General Nursing

    I never pick up shifts and everyone tries to guilt me into it. Lol. Not my problem. All this “team work” bs. I work my shifts. I don’t call in sick, I do my

  22. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    ArmyRntoMD replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Because schools like to make money. That’s what the CNO at my hospital told me straight up. It’s a scheme to make money. Bunch of bs classes that they can make you take and charge you for. My RN...

    I appreciate that ma’am, I will. And enjoy your retirement- you’ve earned

  24. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would say “they’re so cute when they’re mad”, but it doesn’t apply here either. Just bitterness and anger. Its not personal. Nothing ever is. There are other perspectives outside of our...

  25. CRNAs Should Not be Allowed to Practice Independently - One Anesthesiologist’s Opinion

    ArmyRntoMD replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually... many nurses have not taken chemistry or biology. And high school chem isn’t typically... deep. It’s.. high school. Sometimes the zebras are what kills you. As an MD friend of mine...
