  1. Medical School --> Nursing School?

    cherrysky posted a topic in General Nursing

    There are a lot of great reasons to get into nursing, but has anyone here gone into nursing (and then perhaps into advanced practice) because they could not get into medical

  2. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When I said "nursing school" here, sorry I wasn't very specific. I really meant RN school. I did not to think to clarify between RN school and CRNA school which I realize was a mistake considering...

  3. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know a lot of people will give others flack for saying that but I really don't understand what's wrong with that statement. Giving someone flack for wanting to become an RN "only" so they could...

  4. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lol, Umm....I'm not sure where you're getting that, what you're saying is 100% wrong. Anesthesiology one of the MOST competitive specialties to get into. Never have I come across any data, or even an...

  5. Do PAs go to Med School?

    cherrysky replied to Raas4555's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To be honest you just sound like someone that is attempting to show off on a nursing forum. If you dislike mid levels (a title I have no problem with) so much, then why do you spend so much time...

  6. it is depressing and dissapointing

    cherrysky replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    Every single complaint you read on this forum holds true for every single profession. Maybe the intensity is upped a little in nursing because you have so many women stressed out and forced to work...

  7. I FINALLY got a job!

    cherrysky replied to Maudy's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! Congratulations on the new job! I'm excited for you : ) Hopefully it will be everything you want it to

  8. Are taking GRE's 3-4 years prior to CRNA school a good idea?

    cherrysky replied to TheIncredible's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The schools I've looked at have a validity period of 5 years on GRE

  9. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First, it is possible to become a CRNA within 5-6 years: 1year LPN, 1 year additional to become an RN (at least around here), and then 1 year accelerated BSN and while you are actually doing your 1...

  10. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I completely agree, plus in medicine there are years of residency where again the doctor is making much less

  11. financial planning for the young!

    cherrysky replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    I would say as far as retirement, make sure to put every penny you can in a 401k, max it out if you can. Does your employer match any portion of your contributions? Even if it does not, you should...

  12. Crna Programs Without Gre Scores

    cherrysky replied to cantillod's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just remember that some of the schools that make GRE optional do so only if you have a certain minimum GPA. Make sure you are clear if there are certain conditions which affect whether or not he GRE...

  13. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That is one of my pet peeves on this forum! As soon as you say you want to become a CRNA a bunch of RNs get on your case because "you're in it for the money". I genuinely think that they may be a...

  14. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I definitely want to go on to become a CRNA but I haven't heard anyone else other than my sister (and one of her friends) say that they wanted to become one. I've heard one person say they were...

  15. What Patients Hate about doctors

    cherrysky replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! What is the name of your book? Is it about nursing or unrelated to your profession? I want to start reading some books, whether fiction or nonfiction, about nursing. Sorry about your...

  16. Stop Foreign Nurses

    cherrysky replied to StopForeignNurses's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Someone here said something like "foreign nurses are willing to work in horrible conditions which means the conditions will never change for us". GIVE ME A BREAK. Those "desperate" nurses from the...

  17. Stop Foreign Nurses

    cherrysky replied to StopForeignNurses's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The OP just sounds

  18. ICU Requirement

    cherrysky posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know a great majority of schools require at least one year of critical care experience to get into the program and my question is would PICU or NICU count for this or is it ONLY ICU? What kind of...

  19. Help: Tattoo Ideas!!

    cherrysky replied to SRNA11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    WOW!!! Just wanted to say CONGRATULATIONS!!! I'm really happy for you, hopefully I will soon join your ranks! :)

  20. She is sleeping with a patient.............

    cherrysky replied to fournee's topic in General Nursing

    Am I the only one that thinks it's odd that the OP is all of a sudden coming up with all this info? It started it with just a bunch of vague assumptions, hearsay and a few pictures posted online to...

  21. She is sleeping with a patient.............

    cherrysky replied to fournee's topic in General Nursing

    She's 42, so she's not exactly green as far as life experiences but she does say she is a new

  22. Sleeping on The Job?

    cherrysky replied to pam78's topic in General Nursing

    You mentioned she's a new travel nurse (at least at your facility), maybe she has jet lag? Jet lag combined with night shift can wreak havoc on your body. If it's a consistent thing maybe it's just...

  23. She is sleeping with a patient.............

    cherrysky replied to fournee's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely was not trying to put down her age or attractiveness (although now I see her age). I didn't call her old or ugly. It many cases if someone is maybe younger or prettier than you you may...

  24. NCLEX Review Course

    cherrysky replied to SeptGrad's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you've taken practice tests and you have absolutely no doubt that you'll pass, then I would not worry about missing it. However, if you have any doubts or you feel like you haven't really mastered...

  25. She is sleeping with a patient.............

    cherrysky replied to fournee's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree with everything you have said. I think this is the type of person people on here complain about -- the person that has some problem with you and you have no idea why, they kind of...
