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

    CRNA2BKY replied to jnmoore02's topic in Male Nursing Students

    ok, lets try this again: actually, there is strong scientific evidence to the contrary. using my left brain as always, i go by scientific evidence and research: according to the study, issued by uc...

  3. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    CRNA2BKY replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I just quit being an airline pilot to purse my dreams of being a nurse. Anyway, my crew and I were walking down a jet bridge to the airplane, and we walked past a family that had just gotten off the...

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

    CRNA2BKY replied to jnmoore02's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think guys, in general, are more left brain, and therefore more analytical in nature. I tend to solve problems by analyzing it scientifically, where many women use their right brain to figure out...

  5. Colleagues who call in sick, but aren't.

    CRNA2BKY replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    You further reinforce my point. People have to be dishonest because the hospitals are not as progressive as many other industries or companies out there. People should not have to be dishonest. At the...

  6. "The Jesus Factor"

    CRNA2BKY replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, and these Christians are a little kookie too. They are just as crazy as any other religious extremist group, and they are

  7. Colleagues who call in sick, but aren't.

    CRNA2BKY replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, but people calling in sick for personal reasons has been going on for probably centuries in every industry. It has always been that way, and it will ALWAYS be that way. Because of this,...

  8. "The Jesus Factor"

    CRNA2BKY replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    What's the big deal? You've got to be kidding! It is one thing for a patient to permitt the nurse to talk about Jesus, but for the nurse to try to change what a person's beliefs are....that is a...

  9. CNA's calling in/writing prescriptions

    CRNA2BKY replied to phelan26's topic in General Nursing

    I've been at many doctors offices where the receptionist calls in the prescription for the physician. This is perfectly good and legal because the receptionist didn't AUTHORIZE/write the script. The...

  10. Career Change

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

    I also am in the midst of a career change. I was making a decent living as an airline pilot, and I gave it all up (the pay, benefits, unlimited travel to anywhere in the world...anytime...on any...

  11. What are the science labs like?

    CRNA2BKY replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my A&P I and II, we had 6 human cadavers to explore. Out of about 80 students in my class, I was only 1 of about 4 people to make "A's" in both I & II. I'm not the brightest bulb on the...

  12. I'm so disappointed. My hospital FIRED ME!!

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

    Hotomalis, I am proud of you for standing up. You seem like such a strong and courageous person. Keep us posted as to your progress, and you are in my

  13. New Grad looking for ICU job

    CRNA2BKY replied to Umdsn's topic in MICU, SICU

    I also agree that you should go ICU directly upon graduation, if ICU is what you want. There are excellent new grad training programs out there that will spend many months training you. People that...

  14. I'm so disappointed. My hospital FIRED ME!!

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

    I just read your story, and I am so very sorry for all your hardships and misfortunes. I have seen people go through many bad things, but so many times, they end up in a better position, and become a...

  15. any new grads getting jobs?

    CRNA2BKY replied to jam2007's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I think I've got it now. Looks like you CAN get hired into a new graduate orientation program, but cannot BEGIN the training until you are actually an RN. This is called a provisional/conditional...

  16. any new grads getting jobs?

    CRNA2BKY replied to jam2007's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Ok, I guess they must be able to hire you legally, but can't let you start until you are licensed. Thanks for clearing that

  17. any new grads getting jobs?

    CRNA2BKY replied to jam2007's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Sorry Swtooth, but not clear on your post. You said, "It is even illegal for them to hire you into an RN postion until you are an actual RN." But in the very next sentence, you write, "a lot of...

    CRNA2BKY replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Florida Nursing

    After you do a semester or two of clinicals, many hospitals will hire you as a patient care assistant (PCA) or as a nurses aid. If call the HR department at the hospitals in your area, they can give...

  19. Icu

    CRNA2BKY replied to RedToyota25's topic in General Nursing

    nope, it certainly does not apply to me. there are absolutely wonderful bedside nurses who make a huge difference in peoples lives. i intend to be one of those nurses, but with other long-term goals...

  20. Icu

    CRNA2BKY replied to RedToyota25's topic in General Nursing

    If you want to work in an ICU, then DO IT! Don't putz around with other areas you are not interested in. This will only lead to job dissatisfaction and frustrations with your new role as an RN. I will...

  21. Poo everywhere!

    CRNA2BKY replied to CainRN's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well, I'm just changing careers, from being an airline pilot to nursing. Anyway, this one time (not at band camp), after all the passengers got off the plane, one of the flight attendants came running...

  22. which salary is correct?

    CRNA2BKY replied to Ms.RN's topic in Georgia Nursing

    gotta remember that salary.com takes average salaries into account, so the $50,000 may be reflecting people with many years of experience. the $17/hr. is probably more realistic for someone just...

  23. Is this possible???

    CRNA2BKY replied to NewB07's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Possible? Yes. Would I recommend doing it? No way. A&P 1 and 2 and Micro all require a lot of studying to do well, and to take all 3 in the same semester is just setting yourself up for not...

  24. Hospitals and pay around Miami

    CRNA2BKY replied to future_nurse_Alex's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey emab, not sure if you noticed, but the year of the OP was 2005. Seems this thread is pretty old. Not sure if the pay has changed much since then

  25. Magnet hospitals in Orange County

    CRNA2BKY replied to luv2shopp85's topic in California Nursing

    Sorry, what part of union is confusing to you? A union is an organization that employees are members of, and the organization helps protect the rights of the employees, as well as act as a negotiating...
