  1. ICU or Emergency

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to Momochi's topic in General Nursing

    Having done both, it is entirely dependent on what you're looking for career wise. I started in the ED as a new graduate and enjoyed it 80% of the time. It definitely can become routine but that's...

  2. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) CRNA 2025 start

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to jtw23455's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was actually in a DNP dual certification program when I took those courses then withdrew in good standing. However, any graduate course can show that you're still teachable and you can navigate...

  3. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) CRNA 2025 start

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to jtw23455's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When I submitted I had 5 years of ED (non Trauma) and 1 year CCU experience (Lv.1 Trauma), 3.66 GPA, 5 graduate courses, 2000 community services hours, 17 shadowing hours, 3x specialty certifications,...

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to jtw23455's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Received an interview invite around 10 EST but will be withdrawing my application. Good luck everyone! You are all deserving of a

  5. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) CRNA 2025 start

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to jtw23455's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    In the world of anesthesia, actually throughout one's entire life, clear communication is key. Poor choice of words on their end and they was looking for an argument. I have every right to keep...

  6. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) CRNA 2025 start

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to jtw23455's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't remember directing anything towards you? I'm not holding my admission over anyone and don't plan on enrolling at VCU...I'm merely stating that I have chosen a different program because they...

  7. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) CRNA 2025 start

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to jtw23455's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Trust me, I'm not. I'm just answering the question and the general consensus on here when prospective NARs are asking "why VCU" I'm matriculating in a program that's not even listed in the top...

  9. MedSurg Certification

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to NurseRoxy2022's topic in General Nursing

    The AACN, ENA, BCEN, ANCC are good places to start. You can also Google nursing specialty certifications and a plethora of results will pop up. It depends on your area of

  10. ACLS vs real life

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to Dtwjj's topic in General Nursing

    ACLS algorithm assumes every patient follows the same timeline/criteria. ACLS doesn't differentiate between say...cardiac arrest d/t hypoxia vs STEMI vs PE vs severe sepsis vs DKA vs hypovolemic...

  11. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) CRNA 2025 start

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to jtw23455's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nope nothing as of yet. As for being #1, VCU no longer holds that title. #1 title goes to the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and VCU is #6. I was already accepted to another...

  12. NP new grad Pay question

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to nursingstudent_2024's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A new FNP is a new FNP regardless of prior experience as a foreign physician. That's a common finding on this website even more so for an experienced RN (think 10 years at the bedside in a comparable...

  13. Urgent Care RN

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to Kay Bunny's topic in Nursing Career

    I worked in an Urgent Care after getting comfortable in the ED...I lasted about 6 months because I got bored. I worked 7:45a - 8:15p unless we had last minute stragglers. I was responsible for...

  14. Should I retake Microbiology?

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to Jayla11's topic in General Students

    For the love a god! A counselor telling a pupil to take an F...An F with any repeat grade will still lower your overall GPA in the long run. For example, if you're using NursingCas to apply to nursing...

  16. Choosing a Nursing School - I have Many Questions

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to Yu-Hsuan Liang's topic in General Students

    200K for RN education is crazy! That's more than my CRNA program's

  17. Novel Idea for Administrators

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Uhm...and who says the ED doesn't get treated like this? When we get flexed from our normal 4:1 ratio to 5-6:1? Which includes a plethora of patient diagnoses in different stages of their treatment...

  18. NEURO ICU or NICU?

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to donutcrumbs's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I wouldn't take that Neuro ICU position solely based on the fact the ANM is a bully. Imagine spending 36 hours around this individual...it's sounds like a living

  22. Where do I go?

    EmergentAnesthetics replied to syd9895's topic in Critical Care

    High acuity ICU experience is what CRNA schools want. Also, you have to put in the work. You could be from a community hospital ICU and know the pathophysiology and treatment modalities from front to...
