  1. Hey N/P I jumped the gun too! The issue of people younger than you giving you orders is something ive been getting used to since the day i became an RN and it seems to get worse every year (enter the...
  2. Ah Well we all overreact sometimes. Not like im not as guilty as anyone else :) Good luck at jefferson, is that the Thomas Jefferson U in Philly? Whats the FACT program exactly? Good luck! (i love...
  3. Program ranking?

    I have heard the same thing. This is apparently also true of medical school and law school rankings. All political and little

  5. Hey suss Good info. I didnt bother to mention anything about the overall process based on the questions. Ive actually transported 2 patients who had MH. One we found out the hard way after i RSI's him...
  6. oh im sure you wont. It just helps and is unique in an
  7. Bets place to peek at is here: http://www.mhaus.org/index.cfm/fuseaction/Content.Display/PagePK/Home.cfm MH is a genetic problem that can cause an increase in temp every 5 min by 1 degree (or worse)....
  8. well said roosevelt. While i do believe the classes may help I am not sure just how much that may change how "desireable" a canidate is. The schools i have talked to seemed much more interested in...
  9. Yoga This is exactly the reason we need people like you and Deepz. Negotiation from the CRNA perspective and what the "rules of engagement" are is well out of the typical RN experience. Thank
  10. Hey Yoga I totally see your point an you are right. I was only focusing on the GPA portion as ive seen some people fail these classes. Once you get that F or D it dosent go away. I do agree with you....
  11. Im not a CRNA but here goes. Without a contract to abide by (that was a bit of a mistake but hindsight is 20/20), your at the mercy of the hospital. Your only option now is to group togeather and...
  12. Yes they do Most med schools include lecture time and seminar time devoted to the buisness of medicine. This is common practice as, essentially, physicians are often self employeed individuals or...
  13. Hey If your jus looking to do your MSN core classes (so not NP ior CRNA) you can take two online classes per semester without difficulty working full time. The danger is how self motivated you are....
  14. Clearly physics isnt very important as a pre req as its not a pre req in over 3/4 of the programs. That should tell you just how little you need to know. I have seen the physics taught in the CRNA...
  15. sounds like alot of work and money to me! Why are you considering NP first just really interested or thinking you may not continue from there if you love
  16. Hey RN I do think your right. I have a friend in the OR and when she asks me for stories about patients im flying she thinks its crazy. Never had to take care of an invasive lines or IABP/VADs etc....
  17. Yoga said I near died laughing. Damn right im checkin if the twig and berries are there!
  18. Hey Berry I think the reason it is such a shocker is that while the informationwas always there, few nsg programs even touch on it and even fewer RNs search out the "whys" when in the throws of a busy...
  19. hey RN I agree with you. I just didnt wanna be the bad guy! Thanks for takin one for the team! "He Said it (pointing at RN29306)" Mike heheheh Just
  20. Science Pre-requisite grades!??

    Hey Good for you and good point. Im not saying it dosent look good, i just think that grad classes (which are a whole other level of class) will look better. None of the schools i talked to cared...
  21. Here is the thing. I think anyone who is an A type personality in nursing considers medical school at some point in time or another. Your age (i think it was 22) is no barrier. I have friends who went...
  22. Hey Platon I come from socialized medicine (Canada). What your describing is not at all the case. The service cost is set by the exact same thing as it is here, supply and demand. I didnt make less...
  23. Science Pre-requisite grades!??

    Roosevelt Dont waste your time retaking chem ochem etc. Not only will it be a waste of money but it will do nothing to enhance you application in comparison to other things you can do. If you want to...
  24. Circ Arrest

    London Wow. That sounds moderately
  25. Ohh Sorry! I dont know anyone who transitioned into the ER from graduation. The OR is unlike every other part of nursing and (at least where i work) requires you to have experience and take a special...
