   BS General Science, Post Bach Teaching Cert, just over half an Education MA, BSN, and CRNA school in the fall! I took the long convoluted route. :) I know plenty of folks that went the ADN- BSN route. I think they were smart. A friend of mine went an...

2. Think I hate nursing... Now what? pregnant and hormonal!

   yeSICU replied to nursedani08's topic in General Nursing

   I began nursing in the ICU as a new grad, and found out I was prego about 2 weeks into my internship. Your feelings are completely normal! You will be forgetful, you will be tired, you will throw up at work, and you will cry. You have a lot on your p...

3. Do I really want to become a CRNA?

   yeSICU replied to wildfire2098's topic in SRNA

   It is funny that you mention that. My husband and I were just talking about how people are going to assume he is still the breadwinner when I am done with CRNA school for the very reasons you mentioned (I am a nurse/female and people don't know what ...

6. ICU Nurse opinions

   yeSICU replied to NickiLaughs's topic in MICU

   I often question whether I am prolonging life or prolonging suffering. The solution to my frustrations is to go to grad school and get into an area of nursing where I don't get so attached to my patients, and for the most part will deal with healthy ...

8. Any Eastern Michigan University students in the CRNA program?

   yeSICU replied to rn2bn07's topic in SRNA

   I did Oakland's 1 year accelerated BSN program so I can't speak from experience about the RN to BSN program. I will say that the faculty and clinical opportunities was awesome in my opinion. I have a number of coworkers that just finished up at OU fo...

9. Question about Becoming a CRNA

   yeSICU replied to cdcd67's topic in SRNA

   In the ICU nurses do total patient care. The job is cerebral and physical... You get home some days (not everyday, but I want to let you know what you are in for) and your brain is fried and your body feels like you just worked 12 hours of constructi...

10. Family and CRNA??

    yeSICU replied to CheeseLover24's topic in SRNA

    I start in August, and I will have a 2 yr old and a 6 month old baby. My husband is behind me 110% and I have my mother in law to nanny for us 5 days a week. We bought a house 2 blocks away from the hospital that houses my program as well. I feel co...

11. Any Eastern Michigan University students in the CRNA program?

    yeSICU replied to rn2bn07's topic in SRNA

    I think Eastern is a fine school. Get good grades and get involved with activities that will make you stand out. After graduation, get into a good ICU at a teaching hospital (A Level One facility is a good thing as well). The one advantage to attendi...

13. ASA for CP

    yeSICU replied to IngyRN's topic in General Nursing

    ASA actually helps prevent/lessen the reperfusion injury associated with an MI when blood flow is restored to the ischemic area. Very important! It puts the A in MONA. :redbeathe

14. Special things you incorporate into your nursing practice?

    yeSICU replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    When I go to Bath and body works I buy some of the small sample size products and use them on my pts (I ask them/their families of course). I work SICU, so for the most part these pts are tubed, in pain, and in definite need of a little aromatherapy....
