Hi All: I am RN from United States and I recently applied for CARNA Assessment in Feb 2009. I checked my assessment status and they received all the 'required documents' in March 26, 2009 and forwarded my application for full assessment. Just today (...
Hi: I am out of the country with my husband. My license will expire in July 2010. I was wondering if I could just wait another year to renew my license. How difficult it is to renew the license after a gap in ACTIVE status ? Any input or suggestion i...
I don't know if people are that ignorant about the differences between Nurses and doctors. Everyone has their reason for not doing what people think is more important but I would say this... 'Doctors are in short supplies as compared to nurses becaus...
I wonder when seeking advice from those who had gone through the exam had became a crime !!! You need a break once a while while you are studying for the exam. I wish you good luck and hope you pass with flying colors this time...
Hi: I took CRNE preparation course in Macwan University Edmonton August 09. It really helped me to understand competencies for Registered Nurses Profession. I am educated in USA and was RN there but did not know what to expect in CRNE. This course g...
Have you tried CRNE preparation course in Macwan College. I am going to that class on Aug 31, Sep 02 (3 days). If you know about the other ;Killer Course' with 90% passing rate, let me know. I will be next in line with you. Saroj
My wife is going for BS->BSN degree after getting fedup with her computer engg job. I am software ebgineer and I make in the range of $90+/hr in CA. After 50+K of tution and 1.5 years of hardwork, I don't think she will be heppy to know what she ...
Wdwpixie: My apologies if I was being too strong in my response. I am really impressed by the mild and 'constructive way' people answer and 'put their point across' in these forums in allnurses.com. I guess that is what nurses are all about....being ...
I can see why you guys changed you career but don't forget what engineers contribute to the society !! The thing that you guys use to see if the baby's heart rate is normal or the thing that you guys use to save someone's life and feel the satisfac...
I am a software engineer for past 12 years and my wife was also a software engineer until she decided to get into a BS->BSN program about 14 months ago. She had to take couple of pre-req classes before she got admission into the program..... I can...
Looks like it is as bad as I thought it was. If a RN can make 35+/hr with one year experience, I don't see a reason to complain. As far as the pay for the doctors, I think it is resonable. Afterall, they spend about 6-8 years just to graduate...as c...
OkieICU_RN: Thanks for a response. $18/hr for RN is certainly better than what I thought was the prevaling wage. However, it still does not make sense for the wage to be that low. When a RN is making $45/hr in LA or San Francisco, the rate in OK sho...
I am surprised to see these low numbers for nurses (tech, LPN, or RNs)...given the amount of work and 'responsibilities' all of you take on. Anybody can give a resonable explanation ? I believe in demand and supply when it comes to the pay or benefit...
Dottimur: Thanks for asking. My wife seem to enjoy her new school and she is very motivated for the new career. I can see how much she loves to go to school and 'learn new things'. It is amazing ! Before she decided to go to nusring school, she was w...
Well, I visited OKC last weekend from LA and simply loved the white stuffs everywhere. I wanted to take my son of 4 years old to a ski place but could not find one nearby. Any suggestions for my next trip ? As for the ice and snow, I do not get to...
Hi: Is this applies to all the RNs from all the countries or just those from India, China and Philipines. I do not understand how this things really works. My wife will be graduating in May 2008 as a BSN and we are from Nepal. I was wondering if she ...
This is not my story but my wifes: We are both Computer Engineers; I am little more experienced and she was just starting up. Everyday she went to her office, she felt scared what her boss might want her to start working on. It was really small compa...
Hi Teebee and GoodOldNurse: Thanks for such a wonderful advice and the tips for the success. You are dead on the money about the seniors. More people you talk to more confused you get. Everyone has their own perception about 'hard' and 'easy' and one...
Teebee: The decision had been very very difficult. We even talk about 'backing-out' but we try to put it into perspective and encourage eachother. I even thought about flying there every weekend but that is something I could do anytime I feel like it...
