I, too, am curious about YRMC. I have been looking on their website to see if I could get any good info about living/working there. I love the fact that it's not too far from the Sea of Cortez!

I live in Indiana and interviewed at both Duke and WakeMed with a fellow nursing student. We were excited about both the GEMS program and the Nurse Fellows program and were able to tour both. I will say that with WakeMed, you have to follow-up wit...

I applied to WakeMed in January and never got a call back, either. I called their office because I was going to interview at Duke in the first week of March and had not heard back from them. (I was traveling from far away and wanted to secure as ma...

I requested an application packet for there residency program. It's sooooo long! Also, they are very particular as to who can get into the Critical Care area. I believe they require some experience before you can get into that pathway. Other prog...

I graduate in May, as well. I gotta say this semester hasn't been so bad! I am kind of enjoying it, actually, because it's been distracting me from the crazy problems I have been facing in my personal life! Also, the idea that in two and a half mor...

I have worked nights for many years in the hospitality industry and have really liked it. When I began having children, I found that schedule not to be very conducive to family life, but you do what you gotta do to get the bills paid. I will be gra...

MommyToZion: Congrats! I have an interview in March with Duke's Durham Regional Gems Program. Did you accept and what area will you be in?

If you watch the video, it seems he was pretty traumatized. I actually feel bad for the guy and I think his world was rocked when he came face to face with his own humanity. My father had a very similar experience in a local hospital while in the I...

you're not bad. may be a little burnt out...but aren't we all??? still, i would encourage you to study, even if it's 50 questions/day. imho, a little something is better than nothing. besides, the learning isn't over! this is only the beginning.....

kimmersrn thank you so much for your input. i have an interview at durham regional with their gems program. i am interested in the critical care area and really want to work somewhere that has a nurse residency program so that i will begin my nur...

Squirt6907....Do you know anything about the Nurse Residency programs @ Vanderbilt TN, Duke or WakeMed in NC?

kimmersrn- i am interviewing at durham regional in march and have applied to wakemed. i would love to know your opinion about both hospitals. (i am graduating in may and, hopefully, moving to nc to work in one of their nurse graduate programs.) w...

Jules A..."and kind of lazy! OMG am I actually ready for winter break to be over and classes to start again? I've only had 1 day off since finals due to work but without having to study like a lunatic I feel like I'm slacking. Its probably because...

We have a Life After Delivery Book that we give all moms when they arrive to Mother/Baby Unit. As part of our discharge teaching requirements, we education them on signs/symptoms of PP depression and give them a phone number they can call if they ar...

When I was in labor with my first child, my anesthesia provider refused to administer an epidural because I had a tattoo in this region. He finally did so, after lots of discussion. (I honestly think he was ticked off because he had to wake up from h...

Also, wtbcrna, thank you!

So, let me fill you in on some background information and then I will slam you with all my questions. (Please bear with my ADD thought processes!) I am 32, mother of two, and will be graduating in May 2008 with my BSN. From the time I enrolled ...

"Be careful about taking grad classes. Many CRNA programs require that you take their courses and will not transfer them in from other universities or degree plans. The 2 schools I applied to will not include your time spent in an internship toward...

So, what how does this program work? (as I am sure they will not just spend that money on just anyone)

"My class starts in June '08. It will not cost me anything to attend. In fact, I will be paid while going to school full-time. In other words, being a SRNA will be my job. I cannot imagine not having an income and adequate health insurance coverage f...

i attend a private nursing school and they make us take the nln our fall semester (senior year). if you pass this test, you have met the exit examination requirements for the school. if not, you have to go through remediation in the spring semester...

:balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons::balloons: Congratulations!!! I will be there in May!!!

no wonder i did not get a reply to my post! i didn't realize i was entering a crna only forum. oops! sorry. :)

"i was worried about white because i can never find underwear that don't show through. i'm also glad for the black pants because my caboose it so big (maybe it'll camouflage it)." silly you! that's hilarious! i have quite the reputation for not be...

i feel your pain. i keep telling myself, "one more semester, just one more." our school makes us wear white tops, and not a scrub-type style, but more like what you would expect an orderly in the 1960's to wear. we can wear royal blue pants, but t...
