    FA to CRNA2b replied to AussieRNinHI's topic in Virginia Nursing

  4. RN Work schedules for INOVA

    FA to CRNA2b replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in Virginia Nursing

    INOVA Loudoun is unique in that not everyone is required as a new grad to rotate 50/50 like the other INOVAs. You can be hired day or night depending on what is available. The other hospitals will...

  5. A&P in first year nursing school. OMG

    FA to CRNA2b replied to phuture_rn's topic in General Students

    A&P, microbiology, and also chemistry if it's in your program, are weed-out classes. They are hard science classes but are absolutely necessary for you to learn patho and pharm. It's expected...

  6. Sick of the floor....

    FA to CRNA2b replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    FA to CRNA2b replied to RNMeg's topic in General Nursing

    If you really want to be an ICU nurse and can get into a fellowship with proper support, I say GO FOR IT! The learning curve will be very steep but the best place to learn how to be an ICU nurse is...

  9. The VA Medical Center Pay

    FA to CRNA2b replied to crystalclear's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Would the pay and benefits be exactly the same for NIH? Does the VA have fellowships for new grads? How about in critical care?

  10. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I agree that there were quite a few fluff classes. There were also many hoops to jump through. I don't think it ever ends. The same can be said about many other fields where not everything required...

  11. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, if a person has all of their prereqs then they would only need 26 credits to bridge right? Otherwise, it's more. Are you working towards your grad degree? BSN? Are you angry? Maybe I'm...

  13. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I made up those numbers, obviously. It was a reaction to the long list of classes. 78 credit hours at $900.00 per credit at Vanderbilt, according to ANPFNPGNP's post would actually cost $70,200....

  14. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Wow...that bridge program sounds like a deal! That's what--six years and forty thousand dollars? HaHaHa... Just kidding. That struck me

  15. What if I want to quit the union?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to 1Tulip's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You can do that but will still need to pay the dues, so in essence, you will pay for not being protected as a

  16. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would like to know too. This would save lots of time! Why bother going to school for four full years if one can get the ADN in two years and do a bridge semester to MSN? Of course, I'm going to...

  17. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I didn't say that a BSN was required for grad school. Any old bachelors and your RN license will suffice (maybe). I did say that you would not be able to get in with just passing the NCLEX. This is...

  18. How did you react to your first code?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to AZcardiacRN's topic in General Nursing

    My patient coded yesterday. I did compressions for 15 minutes. He expired. My whole body hurts today. I need to get into better

  19. Thinking about nursing school, but I'm not sure if it is right for me??

    FA to CRNA2b replied to maybeanursesoon's topic in General Nursing

    Needles and tubes don't bother me. I'm still freaked over all the poop, urine, sputum, flaking skin, gross toes, smelly groins, and yeasty infectious oral cavities. I don't know if I'll ever get...

  20. Anyone work for a verterans hospital?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    What are the opportunities in the DC area? I've looked at several government agencies such as NIH, CIA, FBI, FDA, Walter Reed, Bethesda Naval, etc...My goal is to get accepted into a CRNA program,...

  21. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Try getting into grad school with just your NCLEX. Of course, a BSN carries more

  22. how do you improve morale in a unit?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to jennifers's topic in General Nursing

    We practice team nursing in my ICU. Everyone helps each other out all the time. No one sits if someone else has work left to be done. The morale is good because we are a very tight unit. This...

  23. Ohio RNFA

    FA to CRNA2b replied to mcmike55's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm in northern Virginia. If I wasn't going into the CRNA program, I would definitely do RNFA. It pays very well here. My hospital's program is a 12 month fellowship after having two years in the...

  24. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There is a tech on my unit that has some awesome skills. She can pretty much insert an IV or Foley with one hand, blind-folded. She's not even close to being a nurse. There are some ADN nurses who...

  25. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    FA to CRNA2b replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm an RN-BSN and agree that the entry level should be at a bachelor's level. This has nothing to do with clinical skills as traumahawk99 has said. It has to do with elevating the nursing profession...
