What do you think about Baylor in Houston? I haven't seen any reviews on them yet. Any opinions? Thanks! OKIE-DOKIE

Hello again. Been out of pocket for a while. As most or all of you may know Oklahoma does not have a CRNA program. I live in Oklahoma and desperately want a program implemented here. I know several other nurses who would also like to go to CRNA s...

It is sad that we, as a society, cannot get past the idea of males being nurses (and are not always physicians). However, the point being the respect issue, you are absolutely correct. I am a female nurse and I have the same problem. Additionally,...

Yes, it can be done. I'd just have to leave my husband behind. A lady at work put it well. She said "Husbands and wives who are in the Army, Navy, Air Force, etc. have to leave their spouses for months on end. Going off to CRNA school wouldn't be...

Gowkout, I agree....I will definitely go wherever I need to go to get my CRNA education. However, I was simply stating that it would make my life and others' lives easier if they did have a program here in Oklahoma. That would save many people the ...

Yoga CRNA, While I appreciate your advice, I have to disagree with you. I went into nursing because I love people and want to help people. I have always been someone who likes to know I'm doing a great job. I like to always do the best job that I ...

After reading Nilepoc's blog, I was curious about a certain "Oklahoma incident" he was referring to. I hadn't heard anything about it, and I live in Oklahoma. Can anyone tell me what he is referring to? Here is the reference from Nilepoc's blog: "...

Oh, I see. Thanks for all the info. I think I had heard something about this but I didn't realize it was here in Oklahoma! Well, at least it was Norman and not Tulsa! It's too bad it had to happen at all. Thanks again, Angela

New CCU RN, I don't know anything about bedside nursing in the units yet, but I can tell you how I feel about bedside nursing on the floor. I've only been an RN for 1 1/2 years and I already hate it! I have 8-10 patients each night on the average. ...

Hello. Does anyone know much about the Gooding Institute of Nurse Anesthesia at Bay Medical Hospital in Panama City, Florida? I'm interested in the program based on literature I reviewed from them. It's 28 months in length, all didactic and clinic...

Cool! I am so excited! I'm really going to check into the Gooding Institute when the time comes. Good school, I think. Thanks for the update, Nika. I appreciate it. Angela

Hey, no problem. That is what this forum is all about...to get all kinds of different perspectives on things. There wouldn't be much of a forum without it! I appreciate your info. as well, g8rlimey! Angela

Deni, thanks for the info! The Gooding Institute seems like an AWESOME school! Not a bad area to live, either, eh? Angela

Thanks, fence. I'll check them out! Angela

Thanks, fence. I'll check them out! Angela

Dear Nika, Wow! That's very exciting news for me. I was feeling pretty discouraged after I was informed that the Gooding Institue only picked students from within. I'm glad it was only a rumor. I really like the school (they sent me a packet, whi...

Happy Easter to all! I have a question about careplans from anyone that knows........ Are the careplans long and drawn out like the ones we had to do previously in nursing school? Do the instructors ask for all the nursing diagnoses, etc? Basical...

I'm with you there!

Thanks for the advice! I'm sooooo glad they are not like the nursing care plans I had to do in the past. They were awful. I was so afraid they would be like that. Thanks again for your help! Angela

That's helpful. Thanks, ASU_Sdvls! I will check those programs out! Luckily, my husband says he doesn't care where we move, but he prefers not to move to Texas. I appreciate the help! Angela

Yuk...Oh well, I guess that's just how it goes. You gotta do what you gotta do right? I'm just lucky I have such a supportive husband who is willing to drop everything (including the good job he has here in Tulsa) to support my dreams. I feel pret...

Yeah....I agree with Janis. You might as well "be fifty something and a CRNA!" I look at it like "What do you have to lose?" It's a neat, new challenge with many benefits when it's all over and said with. Even if I only had two years left till re...
