  1. Is nursing school making me sick?

    Cynthiann replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Students

    It sound like a combination of your exposure to more germs and your own health. If you are stressed out, not sleeping enough, not eating right and not exercising, they all can lower your immune...

  2. Crna = Mda?!

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

    AA's wouldn't necessarily be cheaper to employ if you need more MDA's to supervise. I tend to think the the cost is about the same either way. (Keep in mind I'm still an undergrad student, so my...

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

  4. just a thought?!?!?

    Cynthiann replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I followed it on the first post. I just don't understand why you care so much your first choice didn't choose you. You said that when you choose it you knew you didn't have a good chance because so...

  5. Nursing school? - with toddlers?

    Cynthiann replied to d&d's mom's topic in General Students

    There's lots of mothers trying to do the program. I have 2 toddlers (age 2 & 3) and it's very hard but it takes a lot of dedication and sacrifice. Make sure your husband helps out more around...

  6. National Honors Society???

    Cynthiann replied to 2005 Nurse's topic in General Students

    I just joined too, mainly for the scholarships. Every school is different with the GPA to maintain and joining fee. At my school, you have to maintain a 3.0 and to join is

  7. physical strength

    Cynthiann replied to mitzi77CRNP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I had asked my husband to translate since I was curious what Matt said. I'm a mestiza who never learned to speak tagalog. Matt - how did you learn to speak tagalog? I want to learn by the time we...

  8. 7 on 7 off schedule

    Cynthiann replied to MRG™'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm just still in school but have a question about 7 on/7 off shifts. How does the pay work? Do you get straight pay until 80 hours? Or do you get time and a half after

  9. HIV question

    Cynthiann replied to katgurl77's topic in General Nursing

    That's good that you went ahead and made an appointment. It's so easy to think of different things when you are just lying in bed. I just wanted to add one comment to the whole HIV/AIDS situation....

  10. How are Canadian nurses paid compared to American nurses?

    Cynthiann replied to DMR1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but someone told me a nurse recruiter quoted her $16.40 for a hospital in my area. That's new grad pay. Like someone said, the midwest and south the pay isn't high. On the...

  11. Oklahoma CRNA Program?

    Cynthiann replied to OKIE-DOKIE's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I haven't been in that situation but seen and heard of many who have especially since I live next to Tinker AFB by OKC. Many marriages and relationships are fine despite the separation. But you...

  12. Q about Nursing School credit hours

    Cynthiann replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    Our school's ADN program doesn't require all pre-reqs to be done before applying but you'll need most of them done just to be competitive enough to even apply. Some people go to school 1-2 yrs before...

  13. Q about Nursing School credit hours

    Cynthiann replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    You're right, that it would make it much harder for those who are not on financial aid. That's why I'm not complaining too much. The credit hours are very deceiving, the work is double than what...

  14. Q about Nursing School credit hours

    Cynthiann replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    That's what I'm planning to do, take a PE class the first semester since I will only need 1 more credit to have 12 total. We know that we can get financial aid with less than 12 hours. But when you...

  15. Q about Nursing School credit hours

    Cynthiann replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    Now that you all are talking about how much time you spend with these classes, I'm a little worried now. Marilyn and I go to the same school and I've already applied to the program (waiting for my...

  16. Gooding Institute of Nurse Anesthesia...

    Cynthiann replied to OKIE-DOKIE's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Angela, I'm curious why your husband does not want to move to Texas. I'm in OKC and I would love to move to Texas to get out of Oklahoma and once I become a RN that's what I may do. You do bring up...

  17. Texas jobs!!

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

    I just want to verify that I never said you can rent a place for $300 in Texas. I said that I know someone from Corpus who told me that it is not much higher than here in Oklahoma. For Example,...

  18. Texas jobs!!

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

    I know someone from Corpus Christi and he told me that the cost of living is not that high there. We live in Oklahoma, which is one of the cheapest places to live in the country, and he said that its...

  19. Texas jobs!!

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

    It doesn't suprise me salaries are so high in Texas. Someone I know has an uncle who is a cop is Corpus Christi almost making $100K but that is including extra jobs like patroling the beach during...
