  1. I Hate Nursing School

    dianacs replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    The thing about accelerated BSNs is that not only are you in class/clinicals all day, you then have to come home and study all night. So, not much free time. I, too, looked into this. I have a...

  2. Research paper help

    dianacs replied to beachbeanb's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am doing a similar paper. A great way for me to get ideas was to do a Google search using the relevant keywords. I also did the same thing in CINAHL--this way you can see what the hot topics are...

  3. Coursework above and beyond admission requirements...

    dianacs posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I realize this is a rather subjective question, but how beneficial do you think it is to take classes not specifically required by the anesthesia programs to which you are applying? In terms of...

  5. Coursework above and beyond admission requirements...

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

    As I see it, anyone applying to more than one school will have fulfilled the admissions requirements for the school with the greatest number of prerequisites. Therefore, for the other schools with...

  6. I got in! I got in! I got in!

    dianacs replied to louloubell1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  7. schools in St. Louis

    dianacs replied to babynurse2B's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the hospitals have some form of tuition reimbursement, up to a certain amount. The best thing to do would be to contact the HR department of whatever hospitals you are interested in....

  8. A Natural???

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

    I have been thinking about this path quite a bit lately. I enjoy the academic setting and do plan on earning a doctorate down the road. I am glad to hear that there may indeed be opportunities in...

  11. The dreaded panty line.......

    dianacs replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    No thongs allowed at my school. You can still see panty lines anyway--just a lot higher up--and they're not particularly hygienic for the wearer. We wear white pants too, and with clinicals being as...

  12. Gyn, tampon ?

    dianacs replied to nolenurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No, that's not the Keeper. Here's a link:

  13. Gyn, tampon ?

    dianacs replied to nolenurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I started using the Keeper about a year ago. LOVE IT!!! You're right, I never need to run to the store...another thing that is nice is that you can keep it in for 12 hours at a time. You don't feel...

  14. surgical tech to RN?

    dianacs replied to kats's topic in General Nursing

    I have a fellow student who is a surg tech; she is taking the same nursing classes as everyone else. That is not to say being a surg tech wouldn't be beneficial if you ended up doing that first....

  15. Apo?

    dianacs posted a topic in International Nursing

    I'm going through my pharm stuff and see that a lot of Canadian drugs have the prefix Apo- as part of their name. What does that mean? Is it a company

  16. What are some of the big issues facing crna's in the short and long term?

    Here are the links to the two programs that offer the AA curriculum: http://www.emory.edu/WHSC/MED/ANESTHESIOLOGY/PA_Program/index.html http://www.anesthesiaprogram.com Would anyone "in the know" care...

  17. 4 10-hr day workweeks?

    dianacs posted a topic in General Nursing

    I got one of my nursing mags in the mail the other day and I noticed that many of the hospital ads offered 4-10 hr days as an option (5 8's and 3 12's were also offered at these facilities). Not a...

  18. Do you have to be a Nurse before a NP?

    dianacs replied to Soon2BNP's topic in General Nursing

    Once you pass the NCLEX, could you work part-time as an RN while going to school? Then you'd have what? a year or two of experience before becoming an

  19. Music therapy and Nursing Degree

    dianacs replied to NicoleJ's topic in Rehabilitation

    My school offers a degree in MT...it is quite a different field from nursing. Do you want to do both or do you really want to to just

  20. Undecided whether to become a Letter Carrier or R.N?

    dianacs replied to Lisa24's topic in General Students

  21. Thru program w/ children

    dianacs replied to Rhon1991's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Can you imagine that I WANT to work even though I don't have to? What's wrong with ME? :) Back to the kitchen I must go! Ugh, these

  22. Thru program w/ children

    dianacs replied to Rhon1991's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You know, if it was a man or possibly a single woman asking this, few people would question it. Instead, they'd say "how wonderful that you're doing this"; "when you become a CRNA you'll be able to...

  23. LPN's in Missouri??

    dianacs replied to ashemson's topic in General Nursing

    LPNs, however, can take additional courses to become IV certified. Would they then be able to do these things? I don't know how it is in your part of the state, but for some of the hospitals around...

    dianacs posted a topic in General Nursing
