  1. Hesi

    EmeraldNYL replied to memphisgurl's topic in General Students

    We take the HESI after every major course (psych, OB, Adult Health, Community/Leadership, etc). It usually counts for 5-10% of our grade for that course. We have to take the comprehensive HESI at...

  2. Nursing as a customer service profession?

    EmeraldNYL posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am graduating from nursing school in the next few months, and I am just beginning my job search. I have discovered that many hospitals have something about nursing as a customer service profession...

    Mattsmom, that is definitely a great idea. Who can we make a research proposal to?? Let's do

  4. Anyone ever have a tummy tuck?

    EmeraldNYL replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    I say go for it as long as you understand the risks and find a good surgeon. Just remember that if you gain weight in the future, you may gain weight around your tummy as well. I have always hated...

  6. How many of you are married to or date someone in the Medical Field?

    EmeraldNYL replied to echo*echo's topic in General Nursing

    I'm engaged to a med student but we actually met in high school (yeah I know, how cheesy!!). It has its advantages and disadvantages-- we both understand what the other person is going through with...

  7. skipping class, a hard habit to break

    EmeraldNYL replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Students

    LOL, I skipped classes BIG TIME when I went to college for my first degree. Now that I'm in nursing school I go to over 90% of my classes (mostly because they often take attendance). I found that...

  8. NCLEX "easy" question??

    EmeraldNYL replied to glow_worm's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck to all of you who are taking the NCLEX! I'm in my last quarter of school and I'm getting nervous

  10. Appropriate attire for shadowing floor nurse position

    EmeraldNYL replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't have to sign anything. I did however make a point to introduce myself to the patient and explain that I was a nursing student thinking of working at that

  11. Appropriate attire for shadowing floor nurse position

    EmeraldNYL replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    Lori, When I went on my job interviews I asked if I could come in for a day to see if I wanted to work on that unit. There are lots of things they can tell you in the interview, but I wanted to see...

  12. Appropriate attire for shadowing floor nurse position

    EmeraldNYL replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    I wore a suit to the interview but scrubs to shadow. You want to wear something comfortable, and heels and a dressy skirt would definitely not be

  13. The dreaded panty line.......

    EmeraldNYL replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    No thongs allowed?? What, do they go around and check?

  14. Oklahoma CRNA Program?

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

    Come to Philly, there's lots of programs here (6 in the surrounding area I think). Not that that helps your problem any, I agree it really stinks if you have to uproot your whole family to attend...

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

    Angelsuzie, nursing is at times gross. REALLY GROSS. And it's not just poop. You may have to do dressing changes on huge wounds, suction trachs, smell gross things, see gross things, etc. I suggest...

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

    Angelsuzie, go to the CRNA forum and read the sticky, "CRNA FAQs" at the top of the page. All of your questions will be answered and then

  17. Nurses who let NAs Boss them around

    EmeraldNYL replied to PhePhe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is a huge problem at the one hospital I am doing clinicals at-- the nursing assistants basically do not do anything at all and have to be asked to do simple tasks over and over again. I think...

  18. med school vs. CRNA

    EmeraldNYL replied to ariel26's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think I agree with MICU RN here. It will take you a lot of time to become a CRNA. I too have pondered med school, my fiance is a med student, but I have decided on the CRNA route. There are...

  20. Question for CRNAs and SRNAs

    EmeraldNYL replied to New CCU RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ooooh, good question!! I'm almost finished nursing school and I enjoy clinicals so far except when patients expect you to be their waitress. I can definitely understand the frusturation that some...

  21. AA vs. CRNA - Let's Discuss.

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

    I certainly never implied that there was anything wrong with standing up for your profession or pushing for greater autonomy. However, if we want to make a valid argument against AA's, we really need...

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

    This is an interesting point and a scary possibility, although I think it's unlikely anytime in the near future for all the reasons that CCU RN stated. I could definitely see how the job description...
