  1. NYU, SUNY Brooklyn, or Columbia???

    Tony35NYC replied to VictoriaBrooke's topic in New York Nursing

    As a soon to be SUNY BSN graduate I agree with some of what you said about administrative issues there, but I still believe the program there is just as good as anything that either Columbia or NYU...

  2. How much do NY nurses make?

    Tony35NYC replied to Michele G.'s topic in New York Nursing

    Michele. Life in upstate NY is very different from life in NYC. Everything costs more in the city, especially rent (even for a 'tuna can'). Would you believe me if I told you there are places upstate...

  3. Advice on the BSN program at the University of Miami!!

    Tony35NYC replied to sweete90004's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went to visit the University of Miami because they're starting up a CRNA program that I was very interested in and I wanted to check out the campus. The main campus is beautiful. It is located in a...

  4. CRNAs in Florida to require anesthesiologist supervision

    Tony35NYC replied to Tony35NYC's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm interested in this because I plan on moving to FL for CRNA school. According to my readings, the senators ran out of time before they could get to vote on either of these bills. There were too may...

  5. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    Tony35NYC replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't do it! Taking 2 sciences together in a summer session is a stretch, 5 is insane. Are you aware that each of these science classes has a lab component? That means one three credit lecture course...

  6. Understanding Mechanical Ventilation

    Tony35NYC replied to AussieKylie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know of any websites, but if you feel like taking a trip to the library I know of a really good book that has all the information you're asking about. I strongly recommend the 6th edition of...

  7. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

    Tony35NYC replied to ashfost's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not every MSN nurse wants to completely give up bedside nursing (especially the ones who teach) because they don't want to lose their

  8. Feeling out of place in scrubs

    Tony35NYC replied to Antelope's topic in Men in Nursing

    Maybe you don't now, but you will eventually come to appreciate that not having to wear a tie, an ironed shirt, and dress pants to work everyday is not a bad thing :). Be glad you don't have to wear...

  9. I hope this doesn't offend anyone...

    Tony35NYC replied to markjrn's topic in General Nursing

    Can you believe this

  10. Ok guys, I'm taking the plunge!

    Tony35NYC replied to mummer43's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hey NurseMike, Why's there a question mark in your

  11. Confused about the NCLEX and licensure...

    Tony35NYC replied to LilRedRN1973's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why does any state (with all this technology we have available in the year 2005) take up to 4 months to check fingerprints? the last time I had to do this in nursing school we had to go to one of...

  12. doc brings medical student without permission

    Tony35NYC replied to BETSRN's topic in General Nursing

    While I was in nursing school I did several rotations at a teaching hospital where medical students were also in rotation, and the hospital had the same deal with all of us. As long as we're being...

  13. Overwhelmed

    Tony35NYC replied to xokelly2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm also feeling anxious right now. It feels really good to be at the end of nursing school, but then it hit me that the end is just another begining--- the begining of prepping for NCLEX, the...

  14. WHY are nurses so catty??

    Tony35NYC replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Couldn't agree with you any more. This is not an issue about nurses or women, its about people in general---there are b**chy, nasty, and "catty" people everywhere and they come in all ages, sizes,...

  15. Scholarship

    Tony35NYC posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Some of you had asked about scholarships for nursing students. I couldn't find that thread so I'm posting the info here. This is the HRSA scholarship. It pays 100% of your tuition, books, fees, etc....

  16. baths?

    Tony35NYC replied to roxburin's topic in Men in Nursing

    I totally agree. At the begining of the nursing process clinicals, giving bed baths seemed like a 'production' in itself---you have to fold the wash cloth this way, and you have to wipe the skin that...

  17. Miami RN rates

    Tony35NYC replied to paula77720's topic in Florida Nursing

    Paula, I posed your questions to a friend in Miami. He says the salaries there are pretty decent, depending on whether you go staff or agency (mid to high 20's for staff and up to high 30s...

  18. horizontal violence towards grads

    Tony35NYC replied to disappointed's topic in International Nursing

    You could start interviewing around at other places to see if you can find a less distressing opportunity, but I recommend that you not take this approach lightly otherwise you'll always find yourself...

  19. Considering career move to nursing

    Tony35NYC replied to Fireguy's topic in Men in Nursing

    Fireguy, Not every area of nursing requires "heavy" lifting, but depending on the severity of your 'physical issues' they could become a problem since nursing assessments and many aspects of basic...

  20. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    Tony35NYC replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think we've gone off topic here. Everyone is certainly entitled to their opinions, but a big part of why we're even having this discussion is that some of us insist on continuing to berate...

  21. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    Tony35NYC replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This statement is inaccurate. DrNPs in New York are permitted to use the title "dr" in the clinical area and it is not at all misleading because, strange as it may sound, they are clinical...

  22. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    Tony35NYC replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    These clinical doctorate degrees are a great thing. A masters or PhD degree in Nursing is no longer the highest we can go in our profession. Now we have a post-masters clinical program with a...

  23. Ok guys, I'm taking the plunge!

    Tony35NYC replied to mummer43's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think you should do it. 30 is plenty young, and it doesn't take that long to become an RN. I'm graduating from nursing school with a goup that includes quite a few 30-somethings, some...

  24. Nurses who Hunt and Fish

    Tony35NYC replied to MacERRN's topic in Men in Nursing

  25. Who else is taking/has taken Microbiology??

    Tony35NYC replied to galaxy781's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took micro a couple years ago, and LOVED it. We used the Tortora Microbiology textbook (which came with a free access code to a kick-butt companion website named microbiologyplace.com). Of course,...
