  1. ASN -> CRNA? NP? MD?

    Roland replied to babymeena's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    cnemetocna, no probably not. She was content to let her one hundred and sixty IQ, along with her 1400 SAT's "rot away" in our mortage and appraisal business (although she didn't like the lack of...

  2. If Bill Gates gave you a grant for several billion dollars and said design a hospital

    Roland posted a topic in General Nursing

    from the ground up. What would you do different? He gives you the authority to hire any personnel that you desire. The only catch is that your hospital will be evaluated in TWO years for efficacy...

    Roland posted a topic in General Nursing

    than what you see in standard NCLEX books, but easier than say what you would encounter in Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine Study Guide. It seems that many nursing school questions are...

  4. How do your guys calculate GRE score?

    Roland replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Maybe my perspective is skewed since I got horrible acne at twelve, and just when it was starting to get better at around 17 (and I was getting more dates) I started losing my hair big time! Then I...

  5. I'm looking for Nursing School Type Practice questions that are harder...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I am looking for student guides not written to a specific test that offer quetion and answer type formats. I especially like the ones which explain the correct as well as the incorrect answers. It...

  6. ASN -> CRNA? NP? MD?

    Roland replied to babymeena's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Business Man, don't you think that the scope of practice would be greater for an MDA? Don't certain patient types such as those in the ICU who need CT surgery and other "difficult cases" usually goe...

  7. Okay, lets say someone DOESN"T get accepted into CRNA school the first time around...

    Roland posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    and they want to improve their odds for next year (or the year after). Would going back for an NP degree help, hurt, or make no difference. I have advised my wife that IF she doesn't get accepted...

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

    Berliner, I think you are correct. I thought the first advice was also correct. I was offering my diatribe to a hypothetical admissions board to see what would be the logical response. One of my...

  9. Is there any evidence that modern cell phones REALLY cause problems...

    Roland posted a topic in General Nursing

    with hospital equipment? Personally, I think it is as much about not liking the concept of people walking around talking on the phone as it is real technical difficulties. Consider, that I hear...

  10. How do your guys calculate GRE score?

    Roland replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Do you think Lisa that I could start a club of heterosexual guys dedicated to keeping the hair, but loosing the "nads". Maybe agents like Depo-provera and Depo-Lupron (and other antiandriogenic,...

  11. I hate that I have to ask this.

    Roland replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    You might also consider getting an attorney. There are potential issues that you might be able to raise if other students have done the same behavior and not been punished in the same manner. You...

  12. provocative undergarments

    Roland replied to kathys's topic in General Nursing

    As a man I can tell you that I am too shy to even look a woman in the eye, let alone at her undergarments (and most people that know me say I have a AA+ personality on many issues). It just goes to...

    Roland posted a topic in General Nursing

    were located next to larger hospitals? This is a service that is almost impossible to find, but which is a necessity for many health care professionals (especially Dr's and Nurses who are ALSO single...

  14. How well do you think that "twenty four hour" childcare centers would do if they...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind that the "per capita" charge would probably be around $50.00 per twelve hour shift. Very expensive, BUT if it means that you can work a shift where you will earn $250.00, that you...

  15. How do your guys calculate GRE score?

    Roland replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I tried all the other standard conversations: Exotic pathogens such as Avian Flu, ways to improve nursing school, and the silliness of planning and attending her nursing graduation party next...

  16. Big Reject

    Roland replied to MollyS's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes Jonas42, I prefer unique, but your characterization is equally valid. Now that we have settled that issue do you have any further ideas that can be utilized to improve Molly's odds the next time...

  17. How well do you think that "twenty four hour" childcare centers would do if they...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I would imagine that the TYPICAL useage for such a "center" would be on an "emergency" basis such as when your babysitter calls in sick or the hospital really NEEDS you to pick up a late...

  18. Big Reject

    Roland replied to MollyS's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't know if you are talking about the advice to pray, the actual prayer or the quantum physics reference. You may remember Dr. Edwin Shrodinger from your Chemistry or Physics classes as he...

  19. How do your guys calculate GRE score?

    Roland replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's not that I think that schools utilize an especially complicated analysis in their selection. Rather, it is that I wish to use as much information as possible to maximize our chances of being...

  20. How well do you think that "twenty four hour" childcare centers would do if they...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you think that this concept has expanded beyond Vegas? There are people everywhere who need odd hour childcare. When my wife and I ran a business we often worked well over a 100 hours per...

  21. How well do you think that "twenty four hour" childcare centers would do if they...

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    So you think it might be economically viable, but that a premium should be placed upon a home like atmosphere? I think I would design the place along a "Disney" theme (could be a bit pricey to get...

  22. How do your guys calculate GRE score?

    Roland replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If their are many applicants for each spot then everyone can be excellent, but someone HAS to lose (Just consider that show The Apprentice, where the people on the show were chosen from a pool of...

  23. Male nursing students/nurses

    Roland replied to krebs.cycle's topic in General Nursing

    One thing that I found fascinating as someone who opposes affirmative action in most cases was that the University of Michigan (recently involved in the landmark Supreme Court Case on affirmative...

  24. Big Reject

    Roland replied to MollyS's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Molly, my last post wasn't as helpful as I would have liked. Let me see if I can offer something more concrete and helpful: 1. As stated above definitely contact the programs which rejected you to...

  25. I could use some prayers

    Roland replied to JacelRN's topic in General Nursing

    Having watched my mother succumb to cancer over the last year I can tell you that I would have much rather died myself, than witness the hell that she endured. I suggest that you look into some of...
