    I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    PMFB-RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am happy you got over being offended and could enjoy the humor. However he is NOT the guy who decides. He takes credit for the Universal Crazy / Hot Matrix but it has been around a long, long time....

    Walden University BEWARE

    PMFB-RN replied to SassieRN's topic in School, College Programs

    Yes pass = 3.0. FWIW I know several ADN RNs who were accepted to CRNA and NP programs at brick and mortor state universitys after getting their BSN through

    MSN to NP

    PMFB-RN replied to jungyunhong's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    There are quite a few post MSN NP programs out there. Usually they are 25-30 credits, counting clinical and can be done in two - three

    Hate "Midlevel"

    PMFB-RN posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am not an NP, but am an experienced RN. I have always hated the term "midlevel" and discourage it's use among my coworkers. mainly I hate it because what does it imply about us nurses? I found...

    Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    PMFB-RN replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you are saying it sucks for us then I agree. If you are saying that sucks for th nurse then I disagree. The two years contract doesn't begin until after the 9 month nurse residency. So in...

    PMFB-RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Girls like you are worth their weight in gold to any REAL man. However you must have met and known people who were much more shallow. I know I have. From the man's perspective there is something...

    Hmmm, you seem to have missed out on some basic "man" education here. Watch this video. Make sure to watch to the end where the graph for women is demonstrated. The guy in the video takes credit...

    The rich surgeons I know who like pretty young things use SeekingArrangements.com and sponsorforme.com. One ortho doc I used to work with seemed to have a new cute young girl friend every 3-4...

    Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    PMFB-RN replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That would be best case senerio. Worst case is that applying to CRNA school so soon really upsets your nurse manager, you know the one you need to write you a decent letter of recommendation? You may...

    Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    PMFB-RN replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think rather than doing RN to BSN you would be much better off to take about 9 credits of graduate level classes. If you do it right you could even transfer in some or all of them to the program and...

    Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    PMFB-RN replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First understand that getting into CRNA school is easy. I don't know anyone who couldn't get in. I knew a few people who had to apply two years in a row and in the meantime take some grad classes, but...

    PMFB-RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well first you called yourself a new grad, or at least it it looked to me like you were. Second it's not a "trend". ALL CRNA programs require a minimum of one year of ICU experience period. there are...

    No it doesn't make you a bad person. Maybe bad judgement. Anyway when you say new grad if you mean new grad RN you are wasting your time. The Heidi's of the world are not interested in men who make...

    PMFB-RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    E I haven't seen the numbers (I would like to). My observation is that "out of wedlock" is a very different thing than children being born to single moms. I know lots of couples who have children...

    Hey so young nurses, are we really making "that much"?

    PMFB-RN replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    That is just crazy. Why would you pay that much? Start to finish an ADN in any of my state's community colleges is about $6,500. It's hard to have sympathy for anyone who chooses to spend $30K...

    Would you like your job more if you were paid more?

    PMFB-RN replied to proud nurse's topic in General Nursing

    My willingness to put up with B.S. is directly related to my rate of compensation. I will do a lot of things for $100/hour that I won't do for

    It is my observation that female nurses having relationship with physicians, weather or not one or both are singer or married, is on a dramatic decline. When I first got into health care it seems...

    What's the Best IV Size and Site?

    What's the Best IV Size and Site?

    PMFB-RN replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    The proper IV is the smallest possible to get the job done. In the old days most everybody got a large IV on the chance they may need to recieve a lot of fluids fast. Today that is no longer a...
