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

    Oh yea, this is going to be a fun thread! - What is the difference in schooling/certification/academics? Well, both are master's prepared but the CRNA has previous ICU experience, while the AA may...

  5. Nursing as a customer service profession?

    EmeraldNYL replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in General Nursing

    OMG!!! We had to watch that video in one of my nursing classes and it was so funny, sad but true. Thanks for your input everyone. I agree that nurses should treat all patients with dignity and...

  6. Nursing as a customer service profession?

    EmeraldNYL replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post, I totally agree. I feel it's important to treat all patients and their families with dignity and respect, but where do you draw the line when they have such a sense of entitlement and...

  7. Nursing and Piercings?

    EmeraldNYL replied to Wuiteroz's topic in General Nursing

    you can get a tounge piercing and then just put a plastic retainer in it while at work so it isn't visible..... i don't know how you'd get around the eyebrow thing

  8. Bump On Penis

    EmeraldNYL replied to JessyKC27's topic in General Nursing

    Jessy, I think sometimes people on this board get frusturated because there are often people who post solely to ask nurses medical advice (I'm not saying you are one of those people but it happens,...

  9. Bump On Penis

    EmeraldNYL replied to JessyKC27's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why guys are so weird about going to the doctor. Most women, if they had a big ole bump on their cha cha, would be running off to the doctor. I totally agree with you Deb, I was...

  10. Bump On Penis

    EmeraldNYL replied to JessyKC27's topic in General Nursing

    Well, obviously he should go to a doctor and get it looked at. My guess though is that it is maybe a cyst (I know guys with the same problem)? Is it actually on his member or his testicles?...

  11. inserting invasive lines in school

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

    Exactly how common is it that hospitals limit scope of practice? I am considering CRNA school because I want more autonomy than a regular RN, but it seems that CRNAs are regulated much more than I...

  12. malpractice insurance

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

    Okay now I'm confused. So Yoga, you pay for your insurance out of your own pocket? Does this vary between where you work whether or not the group pays for it? And what is a "tail"? I've been...

  13. Do Yall Think You Were Robbed of...

    EmeraldNYL replied to KK7724's topic in General Students

    My university does this (not my program, I'm in the accelerated BSN). It's called a co-op program, it's 5 years, and the students get three paid working experiences as nurse interns. And KK, you're...

  14. Do Yall Think You Were Robbed of...

    EmeraldNYL replied to KK7724's topic in General Students

    Those people I went to school with that had the "full college experience" usually had crappy GPAs and couldn't find jobs after they graduated. I managed to have a life AND pass my classes when I went...

  15. Nurses rat on nurses

    EmeraldNYL replied to rscarlatti's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post Moe.

  16. Nursing perspectives class

    EmeraldNYL replied to NurseDixie's topic in General Students

    We had a Nursing in Society class which seems similar to what you are taking. We discussed nursing history and how nursing has evolved, legal/ethical issues, the nurse practice act, nursing...

  17. Physical Assessment lab sign off?

    EmeraldNYL replied to javamom's topic in General Students

    We had to do this too. Are you allowed notecards at all? I remember just practicing it a zillion times with my lab partner until we both had it

  18. 4 10-hr day workweeks?

    EmeraldNYL replied to dianacs's topic in General Nursing

    My fiance's mom works 4 10 hr. days at an outpatient surgicenter, and she absolutely adores it. She also doesn't have to work any weekends or holidays. But, she's been in nursing for quite awhile...

  19. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    EmeraldNYL replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    We aren't allowed to do IVs at all at my school so consider yourself lucky! It's frusturating though because I have already done so many bed baths it's not funny-- I want to be doing more skills like...

  20. anyone wear Danskos?

    EmeraldNYL replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any arch either; I haven't tried the Birkenstock clogs but I absolutely love my

  21. Regret not going to medical school?

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

    CRNAs can make just as much money as a family practice doc. And they don't have to spend $250,000 getting their education. I agree with Alan, the thought of being called "Dr." is appealing, but that...

  22. anyone wear Danskos?

    EmeraldNYL replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    I saw one of the docs at my clinicals the other day wearing clogs with a purple snakeskin pattern, they were so cool looking! I can't wait to ditch my white shoes.... anyone know where to get funky...

  23. Do you have to be a Nurse before a NP?

    EmeraldNYL replied to Soon2BNP's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard of people who have gone to those straight-to-NP programs and they couldn't get jobs as NPs because they had no nursing experience, even though there's a nursing shortage. It's...

  24. Patients who refuse to cooperate with medical/nursing treatment....

    EmeraldNYL replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    Deespoobear, I feel your pain. Unfortunately these patients are all over the hospital, not just in the ER. You just have to do the best to help the ones you can (and who are willing to listen). It is...

  25. Anybody work in a religious hospital?

    EmeraldNYL replied to delirium's topic in General Nursing

    Laurie, some Catholic hospitals will provide the morning after pill or at least counsel about it, but most do not (82%, according to one of my references). I just wrote a paper on this for one of my...
