    Well when you figure it out, please let me know!

  4. Which dept is best experience for future C

    FlyMurse replied to LaJollalove's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am an ED nurse of 2 years (3 total as a nurse). I would highly recommend the ICU experience. In the ED, we can intubate, stabilize, start a few drips, and send them up. But to be able to manage a...

  5. Puerto Rico CRNA programs

    FlyMurse replied to FlyMurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    1. The cost of a private school. 2. Expenses and having to travel to clinical sites across the country. 3. I would need to do 2 semesters of gen chem to take O-chem just to apply. I'm thinking of...

    Bump.

  7. FNP vs Acute care NP vs CRNA

    FlyMurse replied to Leanne62499's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hi all who originally posted. What did you end up doing? I'm an ED RN of 3 years and really enjoy bedside nursing and critical patients. I've always thought I wanted to be a CRNA but am at least open...

  8. What was it like to be a nurse in the 1980s

    FlyMurse replied to fatrabbit's topic in General Nursing

    Very fascinating! Thank you all for sharing! Can anyone elaborate on the technology they've seen over the years? What types of monitoring would an ICU pt have? I know SpO2 came in the 90's and EtCO2...

  9. Unsuccessful CRNA Student

    FlyMurse replied to Yppah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Definitely following this. I'm afraid if I do get into a program I'll be too relaxed and fall behind. One CRNA made a good point to me- they want you to pass, because it affects their attrition rate...

    Following!

  11. Delay in transfer to floor

    FlyMurse replied to bebbercorn's topic in Emergency

    Must be nice! They want us to get them up within 30 mins from the time the bed is assigned and I even heard someone say they're pushing for 20 mins. Unrealistic! Even if I drop everything I'm doing...

  12. Can sugar alleviate anaphylactic reactions?

    FlyMurse replied to sdgdude's topic in Emergency

    The only link I can think of is using glucagon as a smooth muscle relaxant in the case of an esophageal obstruction (just gave it last week for this). Perhaps it has some action on the smooth muscle...

  13. Fortis College Phoenix

    FlyMurse replied to Fledesma's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I used to teach for them PRN. I left when we lost all of the hospital contracts for clinicals. You'll be doing ALL of your clinicals in nursing homes and rehab centers (I heard they may have secured...

  14. tips on starting IV, drawing blood on obese patient

    FlyMurse replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    It worries me to see so many people in this thread and others talk about seeing veins and palpating them only if you can't see one. Venous access should always be based on feel, not looks. Superficial...

  15. Nursing Diagnosis help for 7 year old pt

    FlyMurse posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi all, I'm having a difficult time with my careplan for my little guy. He came in for constipation x3weeks with no relief after trying miralax and enemas. MD decided to drop an NG and do a...

  16. EMT Starting RN program anyone else go down this road?

    FlyMurse replied to Deuceswild1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was an EMT/ ER Tech. Best 2 years of experience I could ask for. I got so much experience in the ED, I'm way ahead others in school, and the teachers and classmates notice. Sure, I get made fun...

  17. Nursing Diagnosis help for 7 year old pt

    FlyMurse replied to FlyMurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That's the same thing as "Altered Elimination", right? That was my other thought but, again, I thought it seemed too general. You're right though- the kid has too much going on to only address with...

    FlyMurse replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think its interesting to hear what the ladies think, but yeah it should be a predominantly male

  19. A "dating female students in your class" post

    FlyMurse replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm with Kendel. There is more to a relationship than sex. I don't have sex because it only seems to make relationships worse... It might feel good at the moment, but, as we've all learned in...

  20. A "dating female students in your class" post

    FlyMurse replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well, I guess you could say I "did it"- started hanging out with her as friends and whatnot, then one of my a**hole friends came along with us one night and started hitting on her. She got wasted and...

  21. What states have a prehospital RN scope of practice??

    FlyMurse replied to hopefullICUnurse77's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Sorry to bump an old thread up, but does anyone have any updated info on any of this? I just renewed my EMT license for the 3rd time and am about a year away from my RN/BSN. I did it for this exact...

  22. A "dating female students in your class" post

    FlyMurse replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Dunno how much longer I can deal with this!! (see post above). I find myself staring at her constantly and always talking to her during lecture breaks. We've all seen what can happen with dating a...

  23. A "dating female students in your class" post

    FlyMurse replied to Jedi of Zen's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm in the same boat- my class of 36 is comprised of 30 girls and 6 guys- 4 of which are either above 30, engaged or married. In fact, the majority of our class are older folks coming back for a...

  24. Flight Nurse vs Flight Paramedic

    FlyMurse posted a topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Until the other day, I had no idea there was a such thing as a flight paramedic. I thought all of them were flight nurses. What are the differences in pay and training of a flight nurse vs a flight...

  25. GCC/NAU Concurrent Program

    FlyMurse replied to flutterby230's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Congrats to all who got in!! I'm excited to meet everyone. Like kamsmom, I too applied for ASU (Summer Program) but wasn't accepted. I actually got accepted to the CEP before I even heard anything...
