    Thanks
  2. Aspiring Anesthetist

    Get critical care experience with the sickest
  3. It seems to me that everywhere I go, I see so many people who want to be CRNA's. So the question is, will there be a time when the field will have too many CRNA's? I mean part of the reason why CRNA's...
  4. We're in a recession. Hospitals are cutting back. Many have closed due to financial problems. Depending on the area you live in, you might have too many nurses. You might have to relocate or work in...
  5. Can't Get My ATT Number!

    Ok, I applied for the boards 3 months ago. I registered with pearson two months ago and my school sent out my letter over a month ago. All of my classmates got their ATT numbers within 3 days or 2...
  6. Can't Get My ATT Number!

    Thanks for your support. I actually called them up again today and they said they have nothing on record for me. After giving them my social security number my name came up in the system. A few hours...
  7. I desperately needs advice

    My friend, I feel for you from the bottom of my heart. I know how you feel. Don't give up. There's a school out there for you. Apply to as many different schools as possible. Can you relocate? Hope...
  8. An opera singer, but then again I can't really sing! Which is why I like nursing I wouldn't get fired when my voice cracks
  9. I'm really a bit taken back that you actually want to be come a nurse without taking the standard prerequisites. It doesn't work like that and any school that will allow you become a nurse without...
  10. I feel your pain. I'm basically in the same position right now!!!! I'm so angry it's not even funny. All the emotions that you are feeling, I feel the same exact way too! I've tried over and over and...
  11. Question about holidays/breaks during nursing school...

    We didn't have assignments, but they always had a test the first day after a
  12. Moving on to another program

    Yes, my dear you can go on. I have a lot of sympathy for you because I have a friend who failed out of our nursing program for a second time. She told me that she had to pick her self up after that....
  13. Confused About What To Do

    I graduated from nursing school about two months ago. June 17th. Right now I'm waiting for my ATT number to go ahead and take the NCLEX. The thing is, unless you currently live on the East Coast, it's...
  14. I guessed I never really thought about things that way. Maybe many of the hospitals out there did hire new grads in the past and they ended up failing the NCLEX. However, I know a lot of people with...
  15. First, what's wrong with wanting to make a six figure salary? You know what really disturbs me? The nursing profession has more women than men, but why are most CRNA's men? What does that say about...
  16. I'm 39 and want to become a nurse.

    You are not too old to become a nurse! The oldest person I knew in my program was in her fifties. I think nursing is an excellent career choice, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding...
  17. Life is too short to be this stressed

    Wow. As a recent GN I'm not looking forward to the grunt work. You should get a least one year of experience and move up the ladder as you get your BSN and MS
  18. The statement "yet, RTs have the advantage of not cleaning after people's bowel movements, lifting patients, and not having to care about a pt from head to toe." Is offensive. Trust me, that's not all...
  19. NP discusses MJ on national TV ????

    She's such a sell out! Unprofessional and disappointing. She's helping to paint a terrible picture of MJ. Money always talks I guess...But out of respect she should not give interviews about

  22. Im a new nurse and not learning much, HELP!

    Wow, I'm sorry that you are having this type of experience. Even though I'm not a nurse yet, I did an externship and my preceptor was treating me the same way. Stand up for yourself. It is your...
  23. Student nurse gives out number to patient !

    The thing that freaks me out about the nursing profession is that if someone wants to stalk you, it's much easier than you think. I forgot the name of that website where any stranger can find out what...
  24. I have a few questions for the people who already went through the application process. I'm graduating in three weeks and I'm filling out the application for my nursing license. First, let me say that...
