    dianacs replied to newgrad2005's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Now that sounds fun--I would love to have the opportunity to do independent study. Anyway, let's see...are there different cultural/ethnic groups in your community? You could compare birth...

  4. Quark Comet shoes--do you have these?

    dianacs posted a topic in General Nursing

    Link to picture I saw these in a catalog and I think they look good. Anyone have them? I need to know if they are made of entirely man-made materials or if they contain leather. I will contact the...

  5. RE: Critical care internship

    dianacs replied to Zar's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    It sounds like an okay deal to me. A 6-month intership is pretty long, and it's only a 1-year committment. If it's a hospital you want to work at, and staying for one year is doable, I say go for...

  6. "Non Moms" good NICU nurses

    dianacs replied to sdg's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    This has turned into an interesting discussion. Reminds me of another poster from some time ago who held similar views of new grads. I am about to be a new grad myself so of course my opinion counts...

    dianacs replied to angela_74008's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  9. Deciding about 1st RN job...pros and cons

    dianacs posted a topic in General Nursing

    I would like to bounce this off of all of you. It also helps me to write (type) this out as opposed to only talking about it. I graduate in December. I interviewed for an RN position yesterday. It...

    dianacs replied to pittdidi's topic in California Nursing

  11. How early should I apply for jobs after graduation?

    dianacs replied to pittdidi's topic in California Nursing

    I can tell you what I'm doing. I graduate in December and have started looking now. Two of the hospitals I have contacted say it is not too early. I am also interested in a fellowship/internship...

  12. NSNA Health Insurance

    dianacs replied to Ali_Oop07's topic in General Students

    I have it. I can't tell you offhand what it covers...I may have gone to the doctor one time in the 1-1/2 years I've had the insurance. I don't have a lot of health care needs (knock on wood) so I...

    Just a little...it's the only diploma program in STL. Don't know much about it other than

  15. Hey, it's another o-chem question...

    dianacs posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The school I am most interested in applying to does not require ochem, but I'm taking it anyway because another school I am interested in does. So far ochem has been challenging to say the least....

  16. Hey, it's another o-chem question...

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

    Update: I ended up with a B in the course. Just barely, but a B is a B. I can definitely say this wasn't my favorite class, but parts of it were interesting. Next up: physics this

  17. 'Dumbing Down of Healthcare'

    dianacs replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why people say this. Anecdotes and hearsay aside, what do grades have to do with "communication

  18. 'Dumbing Down of Healthcare'

    dianacs replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

  21. IV pump readouts

    dianacs replied to suzy253's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    I'm a student too and I'm still wary of IV pumps. There are so many different ones out there! If you feel awkward asking your instructor, is there another student or friendly nurse you can ask?...

  23. Should Anesthesia Be an only MD Profession

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

    Two questions come to mind: Wouldn't it be more appropriate to compare the definitions of nurse and physician? and Why do you not support doctorates for

  25. Low Down on Nursing Education

    dianacs replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree also. I think nursing is a dynamic and interesting field. That's what caught my attention. If there is any sort of a "calling" involved, it's more of an intellectual one than a spiritual...
