  1. CCRN to get in

    MayisontheWay replied to brookesbuddy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not easy...not hard! I also used the Gasparis DVD's and thought they were pretty good. What I recommend to people, is to use the CD that comes with the Pass CCRN book. Save a post-test until you think...

  2. Anyone taken the newest GRE?

    MayisontheWay replied to beedog13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You might get one question that is fill in the blank (either verbal or quantitative), but it will not count toward your score. Otherwise, the test has not changed. Good

  3. Having school paid for

    MayisontheWay replied to krzysiu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The Army Reserves pays a stipend in exchange for some time after school (I forget how much)...deployments for CRNA's in the reserves are generally limited to 90 days. Just a thought.

  4. International experience

    MayisontheWay replied to MB37's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    OMG...seriously! You're questioning another family's decisions about how to run their lives? She was asking about how the experience will translate, not asking us to comment about VERY personal...

  5. Old Dominion

    MayisontheWay replied to turbo29's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I applied to ODU's CRNA program for next year. I was told inteviews begin in December. I have found very little information about the program on the web. Does anyone have any information? Thanks so...

  6. Recovering open hearts--necessary?

    MayisontheWay posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't have this experience and although I'd like it, it simply is not in my future before applying for CRNA school. I'm applying for next Spring and Fall (apps going out in May) while at the same...

  7. Recovering open hearts--necessary?

    MayisontheWay replied to MayisontheWay's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I appreciate all of the replies! This information is really helping me make a big, big decision!

  8. Protect your profession...

    MayisontheWay replied to markdanurse's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Maybe, just maybe it's time for nursing to change. Specializing while IN nursing school, with an appropriate education just might be the answer. So much of my BSN program was USELESS information....

  9. Is blood a colloid?

    MayisontheWay replied to JNogueira95's topic in General Students

    I'm going with NOT a colloid. Particle sizes in its constitution & separation on standing disqualify blood. More likely, blood is a suspension. Some of the elements that separate from blood...

  10. eating our young?

    MayisontheWay replied to happytobehere's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    As a new grad in an ICU, I can only add this...I would not have entered nursing if critical care weren't an option for my first job. It's the only place I wanted to work. If med-surg were an...

  11. how weird are nclex questions????

    MayisontheWay replied to pri4fun's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Here's my advice...I won't discuss any individual question, but I'll tell you this...do not go immediately to your first choice without considering all of the choices. I know you've probably been...

  12. School loans and debt, how much are you in the hole?

    MayisontheWay replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    $40,000.00 that's going to a private school for 4 years (after scholarships!!!) Are scholarships really for scholarly work if only the needy can apply? Given the amount of loans I owe, it's a...

  13. Make up...?

    MayisontheWay replied to ails's topic in General Nursing

    If I went to work without make-up...everyone would think I was the patient. My brother used to complain that he didn't like that I wore make-up...then he saw me without it. Even he asked if was...

  14. Make up...?

    MayisontheWay replied to ails's topic in General Nursing

    It's creepy to me. Really it

  15. Losing sleep over lack of job offers, is anyone else experiencing anything like this?

    MayisontheWay replied to pa0723's topic in General Nursing

    Are you applying for new graduate positions? I know at the places I applied, they were filled well before graduation in May. Had I not known that, I might not have found "the" job, and would have...

  16. Micro, math help

    MayisontheWay replied to Princess74's topic in General Nursing

    Michelle, Did you get an answer like 6.2 x 10^4 as the original count per ml? I think you can safely assume that the amount plated was 1ml?

  17. Micro, math help

    MayisontheWay replied to Princess74's topic in General Nursing

  18. For those who used Mosby CAT and passed NCLEX

    MayisontheWay replied to flowerchick's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I am a studier...not so much for the NCLEX, but for every test in nursing school. I contacted Suzanne last semester and started doing the Suanders CD questions. I consistently got above 75, so I...

  19. For those who used Mosby CAT and passed NCLEX

    MayisontheWay replied to flowerchick's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, I took it Monday....75 questions...passed. Did Mosby CAT help? I don't know if I learned anything new, but it sure made me feel better when it said I had a 99% chance of passing! I certainly...

  20. Critical Care ADN to BSN

    MayisontheWay replied to openheartmom3's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my BSN, and only wish we could have been put on a track...just makes sense to me to have it available. Oh well...anyway, I don't know of such a thing, but let us know if you find...

  21. For those who used Mosby CAT and passed NCLEX

    MayisontheWay replied to flowerchick's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  23. For those who used Mosby CAT and passed NCLEX

    MayisontheWay replied to flowerchick's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Flowerchick, I did the Mosby CAT...took it a few times and always got 75 questions. Sometimes it would say 99% chance, other times 94%. I took the NCLEX Monday...got 75 questions and passed. The...

    MayisontheWay replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OMG! That was fast!! Congratulations to you!!!!! and Congrats on the new job....I assume it's cardiac? Now, go celebrate...get a pedicure!

  25. I don't know what to think...

    MayisontheWay replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Cardiac, et al, It's unofficially official...I passed. It came up on the Pearsonvue website at EXACTLY 48 hours. Good luck to you...I suspect your news will be exactly the same.
