  10. NICU or PICU into flight RN?

    TraumaNurse replied to texan's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

  17. Any UNMH nurses out there?

    TraumaNurse replied to RN-RD's topic in General Nursing

    It's been over a year since I worked there but I worked in the trauma ICU there for 5 years. First off, you have to be patient with HR. They are notorious for taking a long time to get back to you....

  20. For those that have applied......

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

    I will add one more thing. It gets very costly applying to and interviewing for CRNA school, especially if you have to travel a long distance for the interview. The more schools you apply to, the...

  23. BSN student has questions!

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

    1) I would be very cautious about choosing NICU, PICU or PACU. They may be fine for some programs but not all. If you want to have the most options for choosing a school, adult ICU is the way to go....

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

    Like many others, I would most likely leave bedside nursing and do something completely different like medical sales or be a full-time stay-at-home dad! I may also consider returning to flight nursing...
