   TypicalCVNurse replied to Tee Ghee's topic in SRNA

   Anybody got any more information on the initial on-campus session and orientation (is it confirmed for 1/11-1/13)? Sry if this has been covered in the facebook group; I created an account and joined the group only for mods to disable my account due t...

   TypicalCVNurse replied to Tee Ghee's topic in SRNA

   The majority of my science courses were from community colleges so I would say yes

   NP, glad you found it helpful! Always down to share what little bit of knowledge I have haha.

6. Filling IV tubing drip chamber for flight tips?

   TypicalCVNurse replied to Stephanie Marsh's topic in Flight

   Burp the bag! Doing so removes all the air from the bag. Could be a little time consuming so maybe not the best method for interfacility flights where you have a ton of gtts but otherwise a good method for preventing air embolus if you're bolusing by...

7. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) CRNA 2023

   TypicalCVNurse replied to Tee Ghee's topic in SRNA

   One of the SRNAs said that he traveled during the first two semesters and highly recommended it. I assume it was full time but I'm not 100%. He said that it's more or less busy work at first. I believe he's a third year so things may have changed a b...

8. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) CRNA 2023

   TypicalCVNurse replied to Tee Ghee's topic in SRNA

   Hey guys! I've spoken with some current students about working during the Spring and Summer and they say it's very manageable as the first two semesters are comparatively light in regards to workload and mostly online. That being said, what do you al...

9. Starting nursing school as single mom - advice!

   TypicalCVNurse replied to Lauren Narhuminti's topic in General Students

   How's your support system? Years ago, my sister was able to complete nursing school as a single mom of two young kids but she had considerable help from our mother. I also don't think she worked during that time. If getting finished as quickly as pos...

10. Working Under a MD or DO as a NP

    TypicalCVNurse replied to FlameHeart's topic in Rural

    I don't know any NP's who spend 3-4 hours with a single patient but that's not to say that job doesn't exist. NPs routinely diagnose and prescribe medications (sometimes completely independently). It may be beneficial for you to resea...

11. Finding A Job After An Accelerated BSN Program

    TypicalCVNurse replied to Tiffanye004's topic in Career Support

    I agree, you shouldn't have a problem at all. I have worked with some new nurses with accelerated BSNs and it never even came up during their interviews.

12. RN residency- 5 weeks in and already mentally sick

    TypicalCVNurse replied to AstinRn's topic in New Nurse

    She had no right to ask for pictures of your injury or to dispute the opinion of a physician regarding his/her recommendation of light duty. If you're still working there and your supervisor is continuing to make you uncomfortable, I would speak with...

13. New Nurse Feeling a Failure

    TypicalCVNurse replied to SNgirl21's topic in Stress 101

    First off, I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. I wish I had a dollar for every time I felt overwhelmed during my career, especially early on. Just know that it really does get better. Mistakes happen in healthcare. A lot of ppl don't like to talk about ...

14. ICU Experience for CRNA School

    TypicalCVNurse replied to jasaye's topic in SRNA

    As another commenter said, I think it really depends on the program. For most applicants, having specialized ICU experience will probably bode well for them, especially if they they are able to demonstrate that they are somewhat well-rounded as well....

15. TCU CRNA Spring 2023 Start

    TypicalCVNurse replied to ashleyjj's topic in SRNA

    I interview on the 27th! How's everyone preparing? I've heard TCU's interview is mostly emotional intelligence/personality based with very little clinical. Anybody heard anything else?
