  2. Float ICU RN to Med-Surg?

    mturner88 replied to mturner88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I went with the ANA code of ethics with the right to refuse an unsafe assignment. Out of my comfort zone or not, its not safe. The have their nurses on orientation and should do the same with any...

  3. Float ICU RN to Med-Surg?

    mturner88 replied to mturner88's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is my second travel contract and I've never been told to float to med-surg. Had they offered me an orientation then maybe but my license is more important to me than a temporary contact. I can...

  6. ANYONE else having a HORRIBLE education experience???

    mturner88 replied to gemini81sg's topic in General Nursing

    Hello Intuition, Because the program is new (2.5yrs or so) there is extreme disorganization. They are making changes and do not notify us of changes until the first day of class. However, the changes...

  7. 2 years Part-time for BA/full time in ICU enough for CRNA program requirments?

    mturner88 replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    To my understanding is that your experience will still count even though you do not have your BSN yet. You just have to have your BSN to apply for the school. So your 2 years is still 2 years of...

  9. 2 years Part-time for BA/full time in ICU enough for CRNA program requirments?

    mturner88 replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    How much experience do you have to have to be a good CRNA. Most of the blogs that I have read from CRNA's is that sometimes: "What I might confess, however, is that 5 years of acute care experience...

    mturner88 replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I want to also be a CRNA eventually but I was talking to my A&P teacher last year about it and he stated that its best to have at least 5 years experience before entering an Anesthesiology school....

  11. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    mturner88 replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I didn't have to I wouldn't but I have struggled through school. I had a job and then they let me go and said I quit. Unemployment was denied until the following year when it got reversed. I was...

  12. Thinking about switching majors. So discouraged.

    mturner88 replied to Pinky05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No Pinky DO NOT give up. I hated Micro and Pathophys but I got through it and it wasn't easy. Study what you can and if you pass with a C, its okay. You can do it. I think at some point we all...

  15. Aurora healthcare= no more nurse anesthetists!

    mturner88 replied to pnurseuwm's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that is true. They had CRNA positions on their site last week. Try St. Lukes if Sinai does not have any. You can always go to Waukesha Memorial Hospital

  16. TEAS exam...Has anyone taken it?

    mturner88 replied to cyang86's topic in General Nursing

    I've taken it. It's not that bad. Get Nursing Entrance Exam by Cliff's Notes and study. At the time my school only required a 20 and I got a 68 on it. It's pretty basic but its probably easier for...

    mturner88 replied to badgerstudent's topic in General Nursing

  21. I need a pep talk...badly!!!

    mturner88 replied to mturner88's topic in General Nursing

    Our program won't be NLN accredited until next year which would mean that none of my credits would transfer. It's a career college and I would have to start all over. The closest school that they...

    mturner88 replied to mturner88's topic in General Nursing

    I have spoken to my academic advisor and she is not really helping me. It is a private college and the more I progress the more it seems as if all they care about is the money (6500 per semester, not...
