  1. Do you have to have a BSN for acceptance into a CRNA program?

    Tony35NYC replied to kronkster07's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Most of the schools I've looked into applying to require a BSN degree, but its a six or half-dozen situation when you think about the alternative at the schools that don't require one. If you don't...

  2. Do RNs have to take PA's order?

    Tony35NYC replied to EvePooh's topic in General Nursing

    You know, this heirarchy may be changing. Perhaps not right away, but definitely in the not too distant future. I found this article on US News some time ago that discusses the ongoing changes in...

  3. How can you say you're not paid well?

    Tony35NYC replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    This may sound strange but $28 an hour in NYC is not that great, unless you're a new grad. It may sound like a lot of money compared to other parts of the country but remember the high taxes and cost...

  4. Salary to expect as a new grad nurse

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

    I've been interviewing as well. I had already planned on staying at the hospital where I'm now interning, but I wanted to see what else was available out there. I've been to four other places, and...

  5. Do 'goodlooking' nurses earn better salaries?

    Tony35NYC posted a topic in General Nursing

    I found this article on yahoo today. It says that goodlooking people are better paid than average-looking and below average-looking people :uhoh21:....

  6. BP question

    Tony35NYC replied to rebelmama7's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Some of her labs are a bit off and she seems to have all the classic s/s of Isolated Systolic Hypertension. This is caused by loss of the elastic tension in the arteries due to the buildup of plaque...

  7. Michigan Preparing To Let Doctors Refuse To Treat Gays

    Tony35NYC replied to Roy Fokker's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Who are these neanderthals who are passing these laws? And who are these doctors who are refusing to treat people? When did the primary focus of healthcare shift from caring for the sick to politics....

  8. BP question

    Tony35NYC replied to rebelmama7's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hmmm, I would look into widening pulse pressure. This usually happens during increasing intracranial pressure but sometimes it happens in geriatric patients with chronic hypertensive situations, and...

  9. Scholarship for male Rn students

    Tony35NYC replied to Maxs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Why pay a fee when you can search scholarships for free at fastweb.com and

  10. Condescending nurses

    Tony35NYC replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    I think some of you are taking this entirely another way than I intended. PLease note the context within which I mentioned the BSN. I am not putting anyone down with it, simply stating that it is a...

  11. Condescending nurses

    Tony35NYC replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    A part of my job is to shadow the RNs that I work with and to assist with paperwork and with many procedures as instructed (as long as it is legal to do so). Much of the time I am there when they are...

  12. Condescending nurses

    Tony35NYC replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    llg, I appreciate your input, and I understand what you are saying about professionalism in the workplace, but this situation was not as dramatic as you might have thought. I did not lose my temper,...

  13. Differences (Educative/Clinical) between NP & PA

    Tony35NYC replied to jstuben's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know there will probably be a tomato throw after I say this, but I don't understand why there are so many contentious debates about the differences between NPs and PAs. At the hospital where I work,...

  14. Scholarship for male Rn students

    Tony35NYC replied to Maxs's topic in Male Nursing Students

    There's no reason why they shouldn't because they're getting the money from Johnson & Johnson. The Johnson and Johnson company is big on promoting the nursing profession these days which is why...

  15. CRNAs in Florida to require anesthesiologist supervision

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

    I'm seeing this for the first time today. And in case anyone hasn't seen it yet, the following is a piece from the ANA's website, showing that state boards of medicine are not as all-powerful as they...

  16. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

    Tony35NYC replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    SHAME, SHAME, SHAME on president Bush and all those old fogies in Washington. But then again, when you're rich and full of yourself, as most of these politicians are, you have no reason to be ashamed...

  17. CRNAs in Florida to require anesthesiologist supervision

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

    Max, I disagree that the livelihood CRNAs should be left up to any state senate. The Board of Medicine is clearly pushing this initiative just so the MDs can have total control of anesthesia practice...

  18. CRNAs in Florida to require anesthesiologist supervision

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

    Sorry Yoga, but the article is not old. It is in the March 2005 issue of Nursing Spectrum magazine. And if you go to the Florida Association of Nurse Anesthetists website right now you will see that...

  19. Would you go for your PA?

    Tony35NYC replied to dorisemoore1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Dorise, I'm not surprised that you would get that response from an MD. As I mentioned in my previous post, some physicians prefer to work with PAs because they know they can control everything the PA...

  20. Problems with Rn's in clinicals

    Tony35NYC replied to bonnieL123's topic in General Nursing

    I am an RN student and nurse intern so I can see this issue from both sides. If I were the RN I would probably be annoyed, too, if a different student is coming up to me every few minutes with...

  21. Would you go for your PA?

    Tony35NYC replied to dorisemoore1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Gender has nothing to do with it. It used to be that only men became doctors and the nursing profession was all-female but those days are long gone. NPs and PAs are qualified to do pretty much the...

  22. open visitation in ccu

    Tony35NYC replied to grits's topic in General Nursing

    I am not yet an RN but I work in critical care as an intern, and I also don't care much for open visitation. The management here tried it for a while and it didn't work out for many reasons---patient...

  23. Q+A piece: Men in Nursing and why there are no grants for men pursuing nursing school

    Tony35NYC replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Men in Nursing

    Very interesting article. It isn't difficult for anyone to climb the ladder in any area of nursing and I agree with the Grant Doctor's advice. Seriously, there are so many opportunities out there and...

  24. Abused by instructor---what to do?

    Tony35NYC replied to timewood's topic in General Nursing

    I empathize with the OP, but I disagree that only people who can't do better end up teaching. I've had a few moody instructors at my school, too. But overall I've had many more good instructors than...

  25. undocumented immigrant wants to be a nurse

    Tony35NYC replied to huladancer's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing programs here in metro NY don't let just anybody in. And as far as I'm aware, all of them are requiring a social security number and some type of government identification or immigration...
