    uabrn06 posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    uabrn06 replied to aalya123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It can definitely be difficult at times...a lot of the families will stay out of the way and let you do your job. But there are those that over react when the IV pump beeps or there's a flashing...

    uabrn06 replied to deeDawntee's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    probably a silly question...does overtime count towards the 1750 hours required prior to taking the exam? I have been a RN since Feb this year, and working a lot of extra shifts. I would like to take...

    I can't say specifically, but I got my BSN from UAB and actually met some Samford SRNAs while observing in the OR...so, I would assume you will use many if not all of the hospitals in the Bham area;...

    uabrn06 replied to aalya123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I absolutely agree that the patients are more critical in teaching hospitals...we get patients flown in from the entire southeast (I'm in Atlanta). I don't know what it is, and I could be absolutely...

    uabrn06 replied to aalya123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I also got a job in an ICU right out of school in a teaching hospital - which I think may be more willing to hire new grads for the ICU. I graduated from a school with a hospital, and they were also...
