  1. Yale GEPN Fall 2010

    NHGN replied to girl.w/useless.b.a.'s topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Hi guys, Wow this thread has gone on for *forever*! And so I feel this is appropriate to ask, though not GEPN related. I currently work in the SICU at Yale. I'm looking for FNP schools. My questions...

  2. Mandated scrub colors

    NHGN replied to FLOBRN's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to Yale! We just switched over to "smurf" blue scrubs, which apparently was the color the majority of nurses voted for (though 1 out of ~20 I've talked to have said they voted this way). We...

  3. Lesser Known "Post bedside RN" Jobs?

    NHGN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all! I'm aware that there are some new threads similar to this, but I think my question is different enough to warrant a new topic. I've been a SICU RN for two years, beginning in a New Grad...

  4. Good Fit as an LNC?

    NHGN posted a topic in Legal

    Hi all, Really just found this career tonight as I was searching through the allnurses site. While I'd heard of a "legal nurse", I was never sure about the details of the job. You guys sound so nice...

  5. Columbia Direct Entry???

    NHGN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi all! I paced around my room in an effort to keep from posting this, but evidently I failed. A friend of a friend will soon be applying to Columbia's Direct Entry CRNA program (this is here-say...

  6. Columbia Direct Entry???

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Brooke -- Thanks for the support and positive comments. Ame2e - Thanks for the facts. Also, take a lesson from

  7. My stats that got me into anesthesia school

    NHGN replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am so amazed by this - I keep re-reading the OP to make sure I got it right. You graduated May 2008.....that's also when I graduated (I'm still double checking!). I'm in a SICU, started mid-July....

  8. Tips for getting into ICU as a new grad?

    NHGN replied to harborview's topic in MICU, SICU

    Good point -- I was an ED tech for 1.5 years while in nursing school. I think one should definately get a tech/LNA position while in school, if possible. Besides looking good on your resume, I think...

  9. Tips for getting into ICU as a new grad?

    NHGN replied to harborview's topic in MICU, SICU

    I suggest that you absolutely do NOT mention anything about CRNA schools. That was (and still is) my plan prior to starting in the SICU as a new grad, but I did not say a word about it. I did mention...

  10. SICU Interview Questions....

    NHGN replied to DEEJAECEE's topic in MICU, SICU

    Hi! I'm a new grad on a prestigous SICU floor. I was amazed when they only asked me three questions at my interview: why do you want to be a nurse? Why SICU? Where do you see yourself in five years?...

  11. Does this mean I failed?

    NHGN posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hi! Just got back from taking the NCLEX-RN. Got shut off at 75 questions. I got only one med calc question and I know now that I got it wrong. Do you think this means I failed? I know that the...

  12. After no sleep I Passed!

    NHGN replied to nursemidestiny's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    YAY!!!!! Me too!!!!! Woo-hoo!!!! I took mine on Thursday too and decided "what the heck" I'll check it Saturday morning even though I know it won't be up there .....lo and behold, there it was!!!...

  13. Does this mean I failed?

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do you remember that seen in National Velvet where she sees the horse coming down the road and hears that it is hers, than promptly passes out? That's just how I felt when I saw "passed" under my...

  14. Just Finished Taking Nclex

    NHGN replied to missea39's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm right there with you (minus the large number of questions you had). Every new thread I read on here makes me go "oh, maybe I did pass!"..then..."oh, no no, I had to have failed"!!!! I'm sitting at...

  15. Does this mean I failed?

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    mykee: Your test sounds like mine. 75 questions. One calc. Also, lots and lots of priority questions. That "last question related to med/surg, psych, etc = passing" has now got me thinking. I don't...

  16. Does this mean I failed?

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Studymom39: You and I will be in my prayers tonight! I got around 7 SATAs. How many questions did your exam run? Woodholl: Oh! Stinking

  17. Does this mean I failed?

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh it is sooo good to hear that (and to hear it so quickly after I originally posted)! I'm quite sure I got the question wrong. It involved converting mcgs to mgs and I psyched myself out with the...

  18. Are Students Protesting HESI??

    NHGN replied to 2btmanrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I will of course Google this on my own time, but... I just graduated from a 4-year school with an BSN and I've never heard of, nor ever had to take, a HESI exam. It sounds like all other schools make...

  19. CRNA Vision Reqs!

    NHGN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi! My plan from the start of my college career has been to become a CRNA. I'm well on my way, but I read something about depth-perception that has got me worried. Obviously you need to have depth...

  20. CRNA Vision Reqs!

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks! I don't feel as though I personally have a problem, but I wasn't sure if some big, bad committee is going to come over and say "No, no,no -all your patients and other staff members are in...

  21. CRNA Vision Reqs!

    NHGN replied to NHGN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi! I have shadowed several CRNAs, but that has all been before the thought about vision/d-p ever crossed my mind. I can certainly ask around though. Thanks for your response!

  22. what is the salary for RN's in Connecticut

    NHGN replied to julietoo's topic in Connecticut Nursing

  23. UNH Direct Entry

    NHGN replied to CapeJaz's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhhh, I'm sure it was just the NP program they were talking about. Thanks for clearing things

  24. UNH Direct Entry

    NHGN replied to CapeJaz's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I'm in the undergrad program. A bunch of professors met with our class last semester (Fetzer leading, for those of you in the program), who told us that the DEMN program will NOT run a new class...
