  1. What's the lowest GPA you've heard of someone having been accepted into CRNA school?

    Scrubz posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I plan on applying to CRNA one day after a few years of nursing experience in the ICU setting. I know the minimum GPA requirement for CRNA schools is 3.0, but what's the lowest GPA you've heard of a...

  3. Nursing school exams vs. NCLEX

    Scrubz replied to CAM281's topic in General Students

    The questions on our test don't really look like NCLEX questions. More or less they test us over the stuff we learn in class, but don't put it into NCLEX style. Then they make us take the ATI, and...

  4. Are you man Enough to be a OB nurse?

    Scrubz replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Agreed.. In fact I'm taking an OB class and it's just not my thing. I guess I can put up with the class though, although I'd rather use this time and take a pharmacology class instead because in the...

  5. Can I get ACLS, PAL, and BLS certification before I graduate?

    Scrubz posted a topic in General Students

    And if so, do any of you have them already? Thanks for any responses. Oh, and I meant to say PALS, not PAL, but it wouldn't let me change

    I'm CPR certified, but I don't have BLS

  8. Temporary liscense or focus on passing NCLEX first?

    Scrubz replied to Busy Mama's topic in General Students

    Although I'm not out of school yet, I agree with her. Better to get your licence first and not have to worry aobut it. It would probably be less stress in the long

  9. Can I get ACLS, PAL, and BLS certification before I graduate?

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the advice! I've been doing some reading and see that it's highly reccomended that I get BLS certification first, so that's my first step. I plan on working ICU as soon as I graduate, and...

  10. Just got my Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope..

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    allheart.com does it for like $10-15 extra I think. Even if you don't get it engraved when you buy it, you could always just take it somewhere around where you live to engrave it for

  11. Took Nclex today

    Scrubz replied to nursejllrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I guess that means you done really, really good, or, ya know!! But hopefully you did

  12. Just got my Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope..

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yeah, it's pretty cool. You have to touch the diapraghm very lightly to the skin to get the lower frequencies, and that's when you hear it. It's like the booming beats, then the sqish sound...

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    They're worth the money. You can hear a lot more than what the simple ones let you hear. I just considered it an investment. I mean, if I'm going to pay a lot for a steth, might as well pay extra...

  15. Just got my Littmann Master Cardiology Stethoscope..

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The coolest part is being able to hear the blood moving around when the heart contracts. Because with the lower-end steths you usually just hear the beats and nothing

  16. School uniforms.. ugh..

    Scrubz posted a topic in General Students

    So what does everyone wear for clinicals? We have to wear all white uniforms which are ugly and uncomfortable. The fabric is pretty stiff. Our school's colors are maroon and white, so why not wear...

  17. Advice Please - Thank You!

    Scrubz replied to Seven, RN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not just go straight to RN instead of doing LPN first? I'm sure there are some drawbacks, but the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion of just going straight

  18. ADN and BSN

    Scrubz replied to tickadyticktock's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think it depends on the school.. The school I'm looking at has two full semesters, then a couple of Summer classes, one lasting longer than the other, but none lasting the entire Summer (2 months...

  19. Retaking classes in undergrad..

    Scrubz posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm just in my 2nd semester of my ADN program, planning on doing a BRN after I graduate with the ADN, then working for a few years to get experience, then start applying to CRNA school. I have a few...

  20. 3M Littman Cardiology III Stethoscope.. Any good?

    Scrubz posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everybody! I've been looking at the Cardiology III's and they look really good, although a bit pricey. I was just going to ask the personal opinions of some of the people that owned this model of...

  21. Is blood a colloid?

    Scrubz replied to JNogueira95's topic in General Students

    Blood is a sol, which is lypophobic, and there are lypophobic colloids. Does this

  22. 3M Littman Cardiology III Stethoscope.. Any good?

    Scrubz replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    I just want a good stethoscope. The money isn't that big of a problem. I can just work a little extra to afford it. Even if I won't be working in cardiology it'd be nice to be able to hear sounds...

  23. Transfer Techniques

    Scrubz replied to para's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Most patients i could probably transfer on my own since i'm a pretty strong guy (don't mean to brag ). But for the safety of the patient I usually always get help; especially if they are at a risk...

  25. dove apparel (uniform sizes, etc)

    Scrubz replied to mommy_xo's topic in General Students

    Dove stuff doesn't shrink. Other than the fact that they don't shrink when washed I can't think of another positive thing about them. They're horrible uniforms that feel awful and look even worse....
