  1. Should I get accepted to a CRNA program?

    Tegridy replied to MEDRN89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Eh just make sure to get that 4.0 and do well on gre and get a few years of ICU experience. Then apply. You can’t go back and fix what has happened so just do what you can do look good in the...

    Since when is ability to have a 4.0 and common sense mutually

  4. FNP job search gone bad

    Tegridy replied to TravelNurseFNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It’s a tough time right now as said above. I doubt anyone is hiring in most areas. Even some docs have been layed off for contractual salaries cut due to no volume. I’d just hang tight, get...

  5. Genuine question that I know is going to make me sound like a TERRIBLE nurse...

    Tegridy replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    Having done both roles I will say there is no excuse to be lazy but it is much easier to make a mistake as a provider than it is a nurse in most systems. More patients, less time, not just following...

    Have you applied to rural Texas? Or just the

  7. Lithium and Dehydration

    Tegridy replied to BraveHeartABC's topic in Patient Medications

    Concentrated drug levels and reduced renal clearance from not drinking enough. In addition to the

  8. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt. More clinical hours and lab time. Thinner textbooks and more useful topics. To be honest I think just subtracting the fluff would fix most issues. Students would have more time to learn the...

  9. So H&H are 2 different labs: why only say one value?

    Tegridy replied to COVIDNURSE's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah LOL it’s like the thing you learn in school and then toss it to heme to braingasm

  10. Anyone not good at math but turned things around?

    Tegridy replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    I would just learn what you need to know for prereqs. I’ve done nursing through a masters and med school. I don’t really remember much algebra. You don’t have to be good at maths for a medical...

  11. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Not going to lie. My pile of textbooks in undergraduate nursing school was thicker than both med school and NP school combined. Yet I learned a lot less. Partially was my fault but the text was just...

    Want some of my Christmas

  13. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL yeah it’s just unneeded complexity with fancy words that have no meaning. That was one of my grips about nursing education. The textbooks were so large but not really full of any information....

  14. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    No I agree with all of the above I never understood the care plans and most else of what you have listed. I also felt they try to turn nursing more into a mix of psychology, social science, and theory...

  15. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Do you feel it’s more of an issue with students themselves or schools focusing too much in NCLEX vs something

  16. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    They also have more diverse settings for both nurses and physicians now. Can’t really expect a nurse or doctor to know what to do on a specific floor they have never worked on. You only can get so...

  17. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ah OK. I understand. Even medically though the amount of basic knowledge to work at a most basic level has increased. Which is why we have longer fellowships and such. I am also assuming that’s why...

  18. Genuine question that I know is going to make me sound like a TERRIBLE nurse...

    Tegridy replied to pinkdoves's topic in General Nursing

    The doctors have a lot more patients than you and often pharmacists are checking med orders, nursing are checking nursing orders, etc. the nurse is the last line before something is given or...

  19. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    The medial literature has increased exponentially but the nursing hasn’t? Not saying you have to learn it all in school and yes the basics come first but every topic in the world is expanding....

  20. Unprofessional Conduct Online

    Tegridy replied to Anon4thispost's topic in General Nursing

    Was it really racist, unjust, cruel or are just butthurt? Serious question we have to act since it’s 2020 and people with opposing views just can’t seem to let things go. nvm found what he...

  21. What Is Wrong with These Students?

    Tegridy replied to PamtheNurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Maybe your lectures suck and students learn more sitting at home in their own. Class time should be for test taking and hands on skills not listening to mundane

  22. Future Nurses are Brighter Than Ever

    Tegridy replied to M1ST3R3DW1N0_RN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL who doesn’t make an A in 100 level anatomy and physiology and micro. every generation is going to think they had it the hardest, it’s the dumbest argument out there and doesn’t add any...

  23. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Tegridy replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well to add icing on the cake med students, interns, and CA residents do most of the critical airway work here. Crna usually in outpatient surgical centers where I am. Not arguing whether this is...

  24. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Tegridy replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Not at some hospitals in my neck of the woods. I’m not going to say how your shop is run but mine is not like that. MDA do all the inductions intubations CRNA monitor during low risk procedures....

  25. Why hasn’t pay increased? Hazard pay, etc.?

    Tegridy replied to gcupid's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I do. It varies greatly by shop. Hence why sweeping statements are almost never true. Maybe in your shop it’s like this but most it is not. But if it is like this where you are now you do have a...
