  1. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I didn't make my generalizations about one school-MCG. If you'll remember, I did research for about a year on several different schools but they were all in the south-They all had similar requirements...

  2. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It appears that it has either become easier to get into anesthesia school or the requirements are less stringent up north. Maybe because of the demand, they lessened the requirements to get more...

  3. sex in the work place...really?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Mr. Evans's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Now we're talking!!!!!!!!:yeah: Being a very........ heterosexual male nurse, I am so ashamed of this

  4. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, it must be different where you're from but down here, the things I pointed out are true-I spent about a year doing research into different programs. Being able to get into the program with an...

  5. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best advice for doing well in nursing school is to become good at test taking. I was never a good test taker but had to learn to become good or not make it. They give you a lot of scenarios and...

  6. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You do bring up a very good point though. Since the OP isn't already an RN and is interested in anesthesia, the AA route is a good alternative-A better one to build on an already BS degree. He will...

  7. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are a nurse, the AA path is not a good idea. The AA is based on the medical model and the CRNA is based on the nursing model. The AA requires all pre-med pre-req's and is a lot more science...

  8. Should I make the decision to switch career?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to arkmann's topic in California Nursing

    I would say to stay in your current profession. Too may people decide on nursing and know absolutely nothing about it-all they know is what they hear and what they see on T.V. There seems to be a...

  9. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The thing I was pointing out is, start with nursing first but decide that the profession is really for you. I always recommend that someone work in a hospital first as a tech and, at least, get used...

  10. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You know, I know I'm going to come off as an ass with my reply but, I think it's time for some tough love. Let me get the story straight-You're not even an RN and you want to become a CRNA? I want to...

  11. sex in the work place...really?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Mr. Evans's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You horny

  12. sex in the work place...really?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Mr. Evans's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You need to make your own

  13. Seems to be quite the trend...

    johnnybravo8802 replied to AmandaS<3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Actually, becoming an RN means you have chosen being a CNA as a career choice. You do more CNA work than nursing-Don't fool yourself like so many and think you can educate yourself out of

  14. Seems to be quite the trend...

    johnnybravo8802 replied to AmandaS<3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's been my experience with most CNA's also-Don't get me started!!!:devil:. Your answer should be....."The unemployment line is really long so go join it!!!!!!" They knew what the job entailed when...

  15. Have you ever cheated?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    Do you really think someone is going to be honest with an answer to that question? You know every nurse out there is a saint!!!!!:rolleyes:Anyway, I thought you were talking about cheating on your...

  16. Had the WORST shadow experience, am shaking

    johnnybravo8802 replied to greenykilt's topic in General Students

    You know what the CEO is going to do with that: #1-Ball it up and throw it in the trash or #2-Send it right back down the line to the nursing supervisor where she's going to pat you on the butt and...

  17. Had the WORST shadow experience, am shaking

    johnnybravo8802 replied to greenykilt's topic in General Students

    Let me tell you something, if it comes down between the MD and the nurse, who do you think the hospital is going to side with? Will it be the MD who brings patients to the hospital and creates a ton...

  18. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That's why it should be mandatory that all new grads spend, at least, one year on a M/S floor. You know, I had that same thing said to me when I first started out and I didn't listen and went into the...

  19. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm not really referring to Sal specifically when I give examples but I do know that when a person is targeted, an entire department can stick together to boot you out. I've seen it numerous times. A...

  20. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    What I don't understand is, this girl made it through nursing school, so she must be cut out for something. You don't make it through 4 yrs. of nursing school and not know something-she knew enough to...

  21. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I tell you, insurance is messed up. Maybe we do need a healthcare reform because insurance companies are putting themselves out of business. They won't even insure healthy people anymore!!! I wonder...

  22. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    That's really screwed up. A hospital will fire you for parking sideways now and make up some bogus excuse to cover their tails. Anyway, you're not that old;)-I thought nurses in the middle of the...

  23. "Fired for NO Reason"

    johnnybravo8802 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You must have worked at only one hospital in your career. I've got news for you, hospitals all over this country are practicing unsafe medicine everyday-It's called, "Needing a warm body." It really...

  24. Anyone have anything positive to say about nursing school?

    johnnybravo8802 replied to AllThingsPink's topic in General Students

    I am going to give you my opinion-nursing school doesn't even begin to prepare you for the real world. It's a breeze compared to the real thing. I was pretty ticked when I got out and realized how...

  25. Urgent small help needed with IV Math! Plzzzzzz

    johnnybravo8802 replied to rita.kumar83's topic in General Students

    Punch it in on the Baxter-It'll figure it out for you. No, really, the only way to get good at the equations is to do a ton of them-I used to spend hours doing problems until I could do them in my...
