  1. How many of us 30 somethings are out there?

    CRNA2BKY replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 40, and I am in the middle of an Accelerated BSN (ABSN) program right now. I quit my job as an airline pilot, and my long-term goal is to become a CRNA. I also just got a job as a nurses...

  2. GRE.. pointless exam??

    CRNA2BKY replied to cvicu80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I disagree. No standardize test look at the way you think. They are multiple choice, and they do not see any way that you arrived at the answer. Standardized tests are given to compare all applicants...

  3. Why don't nursing programs weigh exams equally with GPA?

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

    GPA's give a better indication of how good of a student you are, as opposed to how good you are at taking a single test. Preparing yourself for one single test, such as the NET, though not easy, tends...

  4. BSN programs

    CRNA2BKY replied to MAmom81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You must be checking out a lot online programs. Most colleges and universities that offer a BSN do not require you to have the ADN before going for the BSN. There are lots of programs that let you...

  5. What color Stethoscope to buy?

    CRNA2BKY replied to 09RN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Your school won't let you buy the type of stethescope that you want...with your own money??? What kind of school is that? Sounds like plain, old-fashion communism to me

  6. BSN the only "professional"??

    CRNA2BKY replied to karenp2358's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The AACN is just "tooting their own horn" and spreading their own propaganda. They are just an organization like so many others that serve their own interests. You can see examples of this in many...

  7. A&P I Fall 2008

    CRNA2BKY replied to candycane526's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post title says "A&P I Fall 2008". I think you mean Fall 2007...am I correct? Anyway, whenever you do take A&P, whether it be this Fall or Fall of 2008, I would suggest lots of studying,...

  8. how do you know is a broken bone???

    CRNA2BKY replied to studentIVlife's topic in General Nursing

    Overall, good advice. I slightly disagree that the only break that you can confirm without an x-ray is a compound fracture. I witnessed a girl fall off a bench at a baseball game...and when she stood...

  9. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    CRNA2BKY replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I think God has an "open door policy" and some people just aren't ready to go through that door. I think some people wish to remain here a little longer, and then go through that "open door" when they...

  10. Can I take the nclex in a diff state than I went to school in?

    CRNA2BKY replied to Krissyone's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm still in school, so I'm not 100% sure, but I don't see why you can't do this. I know there are tons of people who accept a job in a different state right after they graduate from nursing school....

  11. Most Embarrassing Moments!

    CRNA2BKY replied to Future_Nurse_Natalie's topic in General Students

    Now that is funny!

  12. career change to nursing the right choice?

    CRNA2BKY replied to Dino's topic in Male Nursing Students

    OMG....that is awesome. I was lucky...I only got furloughed once after 911. So, what's your story? Are you in nursing school now? Do you want to be a CRNA also? Just curious...hope I'm not being too...

  13. What do you never leave home without?

    CRNA2BKY replied to RNCRNA2BE's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    How about an American Express card? The commercials always told me never leave home with it (hehe.) Sorry, just my little smart-alec in me. Acutally, I want to be a crna also, so I hope to work in an...

  14. Why be a CCU/ICU RN?

    CRNA2BKY replied to spottybug's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I think you should go into an area of nursing that interests you, not because someone else pushes you into it. I also think that everyone feels a little lost at the beginning of their first nursing...

  15. I'm done!!!

    CRNA2BKY replied to Kina21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations, I knew you could do it

  16. Do you think it is too late to go into nursing?

    CRNA2BKY replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nope, you are not too old at all. I am 40, and started an ABSN program last semester. After I graduate, I want to continue my education and go to nurse anesthetist school (after getting some ICU...

  17. Most Embarrassing Moments!

    CRNA2BKY replied to Future_Nurse_Natalie's topic in General Students

    I'm in the middle of my ABSN program, so I don't have a lot of embarrassing stories...YET. In my career that I just left, I was an airline pilot. Here was one of my more embarrassing moments as a...

  18. Male nurse crying!!!

    CRNA2BKY replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't see what the big deal is. Crying is absolutely natural. That is why we have tear ducts. There is nothing wrong with crying, and those who think people that cry are just not macho enough, well...

  19. I was just thinking about the child who was disemboweled

    CRNA2BKY replied to P_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, this is not the first time this sort of thing has happened. A handful of people have had their intestines pulled out from these water pumps, this was definately not the first time....

  20. Very interesting if you have a strong stomach.

    CRNA2BKY replied to MyLittleCody120's topic in General Nursing

    In my A&P classes, we had 6 human cadavers. As we opened up the abdominal cavity of one of the cadavers, we were identifying all the organs. Then we came across something that seemed very strange,...

  21. Male nurse crying!!!

    CRNA2BKY replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm the biggest sap of all. I mean, when that lady won the car on Wheel of Fortune...I cried my eyes

  22. Male RN gets to pay more?

    CRNA2BKY replied to churro's topic in General Nursing

    :welcome:. Your language skills will be very useful, and employers would love to have you. Unfortunately, I don't think there is any difference in pay based on number of languages you speak, or...

  23. career change to nursing the right choice?

    CRNA2BKY replied to Dino's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm in the same boat as you...almost. I've been an airline pilot for some time now, and decided to go back to school with my goals of becoming a CRNA. I took my prerequisites, got accepted to an ABSN...

  24. Just had my first orientation and boy was it funny.

    CRNA2BKY replied to jnmoore02's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yep, I've heard that too. Again, the brains of males and females, for whatever reason, are wired differently. This is fact, not just my

  25. Just had my first orientation and boy was it funny.

    CRNA2BKY replied to jnmoore02's topic in Male Nursing Students

    So, men are more left brained and women are more right brained because of nature and nurture. Sounds good to
