  1. Non "floor nursing"

    CRNA2BKY replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There is absolutely NO reason that you cannot learn communication skills, nursing skills, continuing education, and balancing work and family life in an ICU or ED setting. To think that one has to...

  2. Non "floor nursing"

    CRNA2BKY replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There are 2 schools of thought....a right one, and a wrong one. The wrong one (the more traditional view) says that everyone needs to go to med-surge for a year or 2 first. The right school of thought...

  4. Is this EVERYWHERE???

    CRNA2BKY replied to EeyoreAddict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in an ABSN program, and the class that graduated before me started with 27 people, and graduated 24, with a 100% NCLEX pass rate. In my ABSN class, we started with 25, and lost 2 so far. We...

  5. do you really need to start out as a cna?

    CRNA2BKY replied to ACorvette76's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    It may be a requirement at some schools, but for the majority of schools around the country, being a CNA first is not a requirement. I am in an accelerated BSN program, and none of us in our program...

  7. Help! How do I do it! Any suggestions?

    CRNA2BKY replied to Candy84's topic in Texas Nursing

    It's tough, believe me. I'm no expert, but in order for me to do my accelerated nursing program (ABSN), I had to quit my job. Luckily, between dads help and student loans, I was able to go to school...

    CRNA2BKY replied to gkbroaro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Besides the MCAT, you also must have taken the standard 8 science classes: 2-general chems; 2-organic chems; 2-physics; and 2-bio classes, and each of these classes must have had the corresponding...

  9. I feel like one of my teachers doesn't like

    CRNA2BKY replied to thenurse2b08's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Maybe it's because I'm an older student and now in nursing school for a 2nd career, but if I were in your shoes, I would confront her in a courteous manner, and demand to be treated with the respect...

  10. Crna

    CRNA2BKY replied to Beauty_of_Simplicity's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know 2 people that are in nurse anesthetist school right now, and they both have jobs waiting for them when they get out. They told me that they are constantly getting letters wanting them to get a...

  11. How exactly does a surgeon "supervise" a CRNA?

    CRNA2BKY replied to platon20's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You are assuming that the CRNA needs supervision. Your assumption is wrong! CRNA's do not need

  13. Crna

    CRNA2BKY replied to Beauty_of_Simplicity's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don't let your parents put pressure on you to figure out a career choice right now. Many people don't end up chosing a career choice / major until their second year of college, and even then, many...

    CRNA2BKY replied to jbjints's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Ok, I know this thread is a few weeks old, but I just got a new pair of Croc's, and I absolutely love them. They now make a pair called the "Specialist" that you can get online that doesn't have the...

    CRNA2BKY replied to chicagrl72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    miami dade college does indeed have a pa program that leads to an associate degree. this is probably a rare thing indeed, and may not be that marketable of a degree. with competition out there, i...

  16. what the heck is a P.A. ???

    CRNA2BKY replied to chicagrl72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you say "A nurse practitioner...still have to have an MD behind them" is a little misleading. It varies from state-to-state, but NP that have their own office do not have to have an "MD behind...

  17. You don't have to be a nurse to start your own nurse agency?

    CRNA2BKY replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital I work for is not owned by a physician. You see, oftentimes, business owners majored in Business, Accounting, Economics, etc., while in college. Makes sense, doesn't it. Another example:...

  19. Just finished A&P II in 6 weeks..my thoughts

    CRNA2BKY replied to Nurse Allison's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know the struggle of taking A&P's during the summer. I took both A&P I and II last summer in 5-week sessions, back to back. It was pretty insane...I was either studying, or spending extra...

    CRNA2BKY replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    If people use words such as google enough, it often get incorportated into the dictionary. There is a panel that gets together every few years, and looks at all the "new words" to see if they should...

  21. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    CRNA2BKY replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Irregardless"...OMG! Everytime I hear someone say that, I want to slap them. It is actually a made-up contraction of two words: irrespective, and regardless. They combine these two words, and it...

    CRNA2BKY replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    Jollieholly, you don't have to a member or supporter of JW. And for that matter, pretty much ALL organized religions use negative words such as shun, and almost all of them ostracize and put down...

  23. Jehovah Witness RNs

    CRNA2BKY replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    JW can't accept blood into their own body. It has nothing to do with what they can or cannot do to someone else. They just can't accept blood into their own body. So, they do follow the orders of the...

  24. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    CRNA2BKY replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Orientated" drives me nuts too. However, as a previous poster said, orientated is actually a word. According to the research I've done, it is used in Canada and Europe most often, but here in the US,...
