  4. Can I get a situation review from experienced nurses?

    GmanRN replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    Thats the thing. We never know. It all sounds appropriate and well handled. Try not to stress out about if and when. As many times as you guess will be the number of times that you guess wrong....

  11. Anesthesia for HALO placement.

    GmanRN replied to GmanRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    GmanRN replied to lifeLONGstudent's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    GmanRN replied to hotnursy14's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey Hotynurse (lol love that name). Calculate your other GPAs. 2.17 is probably your overall. Schools look at the Science/Math and Last 60 hours GPAs as well. If you have a low Overall then...

    GmanRN replied to hotnursy14's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    GmanRN replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
