   MisterArnold replied to B.S.Psych's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   Sorry if I sounded discouraging. 2.4 is a low GPA to enter into nursing school. Perhaps if you got some of the science prereqs done and had excellent grades in those they might consider you for the...

4. What part of the country uses RNFA's

   MisterArnold replied to MisterArnold's topic in Operating Room

   A RNFA is a Registered Nurse First Assistant. They assist the surgeon with surgery. I would think it's comparable to a 1st year resident in a teaching hospital. They help open up the tissue,...

   MisterArnold posted a topic in Operating Room

   Does anyone know how to find out which cities use RNFA's? I live in eastern Arkansas and they don't use them. I was wondering if Little Rock uses them. I saw on a thread that they are popular in...

6. What field of nursing would you NEVER consider working?

   MisterArnold replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

   Why do some many nurses and other people think that OR nurses stand in one position the whole day. They don't. Most of the scrub nurses I know are LPN's. They do alot of standing by the patient but...

8. HealthSouth

   MisterArnold replied to joyflnoyz's topic in General Nursing

   I guess it will depend on the individual reputation of each Healthsouth facility. The one here in Jonesboro, AR has a very good reputation. Staff enjoys working there. If you take the job you'll...

10. Quick Question about comfort measures

    MisterArnold replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if I agree with above answers. My mother died at home and for a few days before she died she had nothing to drink or eat. Her death was very restless - she did not look comfortable - her...

    Are there any other new students who are having a hard time hearing with their stethoscope. I don't understand why I'm having a hard time. With some patients I hear fine and with others I can't pick...

12. Want to be psych nurse

    MisterArnold posted a topic in Psychiatric

    When I graduate in 05 I'm pretty sure I want to go into psych nursing. It has been recommended by some of the teaching staff that I do a year of med/surg before I go into psych. If I go that route...

    MisterArnold replied to itsnowbegun's topic in General Nursing

    I have tested positive for many years and have never taken any medications - just had the xrays. Do not have any more skin tests for TB because once you test positive you are at risk for a major skin...

    NursesBookSociety.com is a nurses reference book club. I don't know if they have any fiction written by nurses. They have a wide selection of books and have a good introduction package. You can...
