1. Three Questions - New Grads, Please Read

   Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in First Year After Licensure

   I work the later part of the afternoon now, getting home at 10:30 PM - I actually can't stand it. By the time I'm out of work, everyone's already drunk or at a party, or too tired to come out because...

   Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Alright, thanks for the info. I wish it was straight days, and I wish you could choose all day or all evening shifts though. Having alternating shifts means your sleep schedule is fairly erratic, no?...

   Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in First Year After Licensure

   A traditional D/N schedule? Is it the case, then, that most nurses work both days and nights? You said it's rare to have someone with strictly day

   What are the benefits of being with a nursing agency, as opposed to going it alone? What are the

   Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in First Year After Licensure

   Yes, I was talking about a hospital setting or something of that nature. I didn't mean to sound as if I deserve to have those days off - whatever I have to do, I'll do. I just wanted to have a general...

6. Three Questions - New Grads, Please Read

   Perseus Mandate posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

   For those of you who are new to being an RN, can you tell me what your shifts are like? Do you initially get stuck with all the crappy shifts, working weekends, nights and/or a lot of holidays? I'd...

7. CRNA Salaries - Will They Drop?

   Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Okay, good to know - obviously money isn't the only factor to consider, but we all want to be well compensated for the job we do, which is why I wanted to look into it. I suppose people in the medical...

8. CRNA Salaries - Will They Drop?

   Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Well I know that salaries can fluctuate like that and everything, but I swore I heard people discussing why they will soon have salaries slashed on the whole for one reason or

   Lots of views; no

10. CRNA Prerequisites

    Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah, I know I need those prerequisite courses, so I'll just get my ADN, go to school for a Biology BS and try to medical school. If I don't get in, I can either find a CRNA program that accepts...

11. CRNA Salaries - Will They Drop?

    Perseus Mandate posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just a quick question regarding the salaries of CRNAs. Currently, they're very well compensated for the job they do, and for good reason. However, I've heard in recent months that the salary of the...

12. ADN = Difficulty Getting Job?

    Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in General Nursing

    Nice. Yes, same here. I have years of supervisor experience at UPS, and will have a few more under my belt by the time I achieve my ADN, then quit and go to work as an RN. This way, when I get my BSN,...

13. CRNA Prerequisites

    Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That's what I was afraid of. Damn. Well, my plan is to aim for medical school first, and if that fails, a CRNA program, and if I don't get in to that, stay as an RN. Right now, I'm working on my ADN,...

14. CRNA Prerequisites

    Perseus Mandate replied to Perseus Mandate's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah, that's what I'm finding out. I looked at about 10 programs, and they all require a BSN, and not any bachelors. What about the Stony Brook BSN program, then? There's no organic chemistry or...
