   BAMACCRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   If you are interviewing at UAB soon and get accepted....good on ya! DO NOT start on probation. Retake the GRE/MAT as many times as you have to so you don't have that probation cloud over your head....

4. discouraged on getting own insurance?

   BAMACCRN replied to mommy2BCD's topic in General Nursing

   IMHO.....Having your own insurance is one of the best things you could do for yourself. A coworker of mine is an attorney/RN and she stated: 1) tell no one you have your own insurance . The hospital...

   First and foremost, this thread has been quite valuable as a resource. Secondly, UAB's financial aid office has been...um....less than stellar. I have tried to find out what info they would need to...

6. Neo in the RV port

   BAMACCRN replied to BAMACCRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

   Thanks for the replies. To answer the question about the SOP on pressors.....there is no SOP. I believe the educator ( who is "educated" with a MSN) had a pulmonary vasospasm occur years ago and that...

   BAMACCRN posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

   The facility I work at has an unwritten rule that Neo gtt's will not go through the RV port on a PAC (SGC). When someone "breaks" the rule the claws come out. I have asked 6 cardiologist, 2 CT...

13. To repeat or not to repeat! GRE question

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

    Thanks to everyone for the input. Right now the grad school paperwork is twice as much as the CRNA program. I guess the old military adage applies,"do it once, do it right, all else is gravy."
