  1. employment verification

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

    accepted before they contacted your corrent employer. That way even if your current employer gave you the boot you wouldn't mind so much. I know most prospective EMPLOYERS will wait to contact your...

  2. Question: To organic or not to organic?

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

    which has a solutions manual available. Then work through it on your own time. This will benefit you if you are accepted into a CRNA school program now with the classes you will face there....

  3. 24hr call shifts

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

    LESS common among CRNA's than among medical schools residents. Which brings me to the issue of tort liability. How do hospitals get away with these types of shifts in the wake of so many malpractice...

  4. Nursing Theory???

    Roland replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    my opinion on nursing theory until I have a more complete grasp of the subject. Thanks for the

  5. Nursing Theory???

    Roland replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    quantified. However, I am asserting that to the very best of our ability that we should base our practice as health professionals upon an objective appraisal of reality. Thus, what is good or bad...

  6. Nursing Theory???

    Roland replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    I am saying is that much of nursing theory amounts to little more than a pile of self serving theoretical poop! Your reply reminds me of the story about the guy who goes to his doctor complaining...

  7. Nursing Theory???

    Roland replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    and gate theory. Gate theory appears to be part of the answer. That is to say that accupuncture appears to activate higher brain centers which release endorphins that in turn bind with opiate...

  8. Nursing Theory???

    Roland replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    nursing or medical model. The goal of a Dr. or Nurse is (or should be) to facilitate the recovery of their patients. Everything has a definitive answer even when we cannot absolutely ASCERTAIN that...

  9. Nursing Theory???

    Roland replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    perspective would stick to diploma programs! No such luck. I'm a 4.0 student and I instead intend to persuade others of the lack of a logical basis for most of these theories. Were I to offer a...

  10. Nursing Theory???

    Roland replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    say how much my program emphasizes theory. HOWEVER, I cannot help but recognize how much more I would benefit were I able to take more phsiology and pharmacology classes as opposed to drivel like Ed...

  11. Nursing Theory???

    Roland replied to k123456's topic in General Nursing

    is almost painful. The liberal overtones make listening to Donahue, and NPR painless by comparison (I realize that nursing theory is not overtly political so how it manages to come off as liberal is...

  12. I hate A&P!!!!!!

    Roland replied to studentdeb's topic in General Students

    http://www.mhhe.com. Once your at the site go to the upper right hand corner and select Anatomy and Physiology Text books. A whole bunch of A&P textbook pictures will be seen. Some of their...

  13. Does anyone else work in a haunted facility?

    Roland replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    scientists usually say with regard to this subject that sprits are not in the rhelm of science (as a way of dismissing the subject as nonsense in most cases). However, your post and others illustrate...

  14. What percentage of programs would you say offer an "in state" advantage...

    Roland posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    to applicants. Since we live in Indiana where there are NO CRNA programs we will have to move without regard to which program we wish to attend. However, as referenced in a previous post it seems...

  15. What percentage of programs would you say offer an "in state" advantage...

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

    that some states like PA have TEN schools while others like CA have only three or as is the case in my home state of Indiana NONE. Is it espcially difficult to start a program? It certainly seems...

  16. What percentage of programs would you say offer an "in state" advantage...

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

    I was wrong there are only four in Texas. These are the programs I am aware of there: 1. US Army Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing in San Antonio 2. Baylor College of Medicine 3. Texas Wesleyan...

  17. What percentage of programs would you say offer an "in state" advantage...

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

    Also, when I say "in state advantage" I am referrng more to admissions than tuition. Although saving money IS a consideration. However, my thinking was that IF the advantage for instate applicants...

  18. Does anyone else work in a haunted facility?

    Roland replied to tattooednursie's topic in General Nursing

    facilities have more than their fair share of haunting activity (given that a considerable number of people "pass over" in these locations). In addition, consider what one must believe in order NOT...

  19. EASY ADMISSION CRNA PROGRAMS not ICU advice!

    Roland replied to AnnCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    with a particular group rather than specify repayment of the "loans" you were given? It was my impression that contracts which required specific performence in terms of labor were considered by the...

  20. EASY ADMISSION CRNA PROGRAMS not ICU advice!

    Roland replied to AnnCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    "easier": 1. Geographic inconvinience might cause some schools to have relatively fewer applicants than others. I wouldn't be surprised to learn if schools in California didn't get more applications...

  21. EASY ADMISSION CRNA PROGRAMS not ICU advice!

    Roland replied to AnnCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I too have been frustrated by the relative paucity of statistical information with regard to admission at CRNA schools espcially when such information is relatively easy to obtain for other...

  22. employment during anesthesia school?

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

    You could get a divorce and still live together as husband and wife (assuming you live in a state such as Indiana that does NOT recognize common law marriages). This will save you from the "marriage...

  23. Not a "people person" - problem?

    Roland replied to vettech's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that the nurses I liked the most were the sincere ones, not necessarilly the friendliest ones. I think children in particular have a sixth sense for sincerity. God has blessed each of...

  24. How much CHEMISTRY did you take as an undergrad?

    Roland posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Most BSN programs require only ONE five hour Chemistry class which covers general, oganic, and biochemistry subject matter. Furthermore, most BSN programs don't leave very much room for electives...

  25. How much CHEMISTRY did you take as an undergrad?

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

    possible. I am going the BSN route because as I explained below in a different post there are CRNA schools which require a BSN but NONE (at least that I can find) which exclude this degree. In...
