    hbgwan replied to Triniboy636's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    hbgwan replied to hbgwan's topic in General Nursing

    I did but I couldn't seem to find anything exhaustive. There were a couple of sites that offered a bit but not much. I found a website that acronyms (i.e. PRN = as needed) but nothing with the...

    hbgwan replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurses Recovery

    not sure if i've posted this on this particular forum, but "the easy way to stop smoking" by allen carr was definitely the best way to go for me. i know those "how to stop smoking" books seem like a...

    hbgwan posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    hbgwan replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As someone who owes over 70k in student loans (50k in private loans, 22k in Federal loans), I could go on and on on this topic. Suffice it to say that today's student loan industry is as crooked as a...

  17. A & P II question

    hbgwan replied to centralflorida's topic in General Nursing

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

    Thanks for y'all's input! I didn't think that was the case, as there is another thread going on right now where CRNAs post their UGPA, GRE, etc. Let me tell ya - there are some pretty low GPAs on...

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

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

    I'm a male and will hopefully be starting on my BSN here soon. To me, I have no qualms whatsoever about being a "male nurse," even though I'm not gay. As long as I'm secure in my sexuality I don't...
