  1. Allina nurses

    badgernurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    After trying to reach the recruiting department to no avail, I thought I'd ask here. If you work or have worked for Allina in MN, is it a decent place to work? What hospital/unit would you recommend...

  2. Job offer at St. Joseph's, Questions!!

    badgernurse replied to bigbee13's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, I just started working at United which is right next door to St. Joe's. I moved from Milwaukee to Hudson, WI because I liked the community and was tired of city life and didn't know about other...

  3. Free anesthesia medication/flash cards

    badgernurse replied to CRNA2007's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Could you please send me a copy as well?

  4. Admission!! Thanks for all the info

    badgernurse replied to shandsburnRN-CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good for you. It's a great feeling isn't

  5. which program GRE NOT Required!?

    badgernurse replied to confused1234's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    St. Mary's in Minneapolis does not require the GRE and it's as competitive as any other program. Personally, I don't think the GRE is the best indicator of success in this type of program, just...

  6. Kill 2birds w/1 stone 4 CRNA school

    badgernurse replied to Alert&Orientedx0's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If this is what you really want to do, forget the MS experience. A year in MS is an antiquated philosophy and you'd have to learn ICU nursing fresh while unlearning bad habits you may have picked up...

  7. Self Scheduling. Does it exist?

    badgernurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    If you all wouldn't mind, I'm looking for feedback on how your floor/unit handles scheduling. Usually there are guidelines like so many off-shifts, weekends, holidays, etc but what beyond that? Do you...

  8. Self Scheduling. Does it exist?

    badgernurse replied to badgernurse's topic in General Nursing

    Our unit has 90+ nurses. We have a weekend program and casual people. What we used to do is put our preferred schedules into a computerized system. Then we had a set day where our scheduler sat down...

  9. Self Scheduling. Does it exist?

    badgernurse replied to badgernurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is why I asked the question. I am also in a situation where we used to do self scheduling and it really worked well. If you could show some flexibility and shift to where the needs were, you'd...

  10. Anesthesiologist VS. CRNA (Continued)

    badgernurse replied to Spartan05's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm kind of new to the political nature of all this and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong but the supervision thing is based on the Federal Supervision Rule and some states have chosen to...

  11. a new career, a new house, a new baby...

    badgernurse replied to bob-cat's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well, first of all, you are not alone. Everyone can come up with some reason as to why CRNA school would be too difficult given the circumstances. For years I put it off for many reasons which were...

  12. All CRNAs need to READ this

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

    I think you're going to take a lot of heat on this one. I would do it myself but I think you're post is a

  13. Wait list SMU?

    badgernurse posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Anyone else on the wait list for St. Mary's? Anyone waitlisted in the past? Just wondering how quickly it moves. I am #10 hoping to get in 2008 but 2009 is ok too! Finally got in!!

  14. Doctor Frustrations

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

    I have visited those boards and really got hot under the collar about some of the posts. You will get a very jaded view quick if you start believing most docs subscribe to those points of view. I did...

  15. Wait list SMU?

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

    Congrats everyone! Are you in for 2008 or are you on the

  16. Wait list SMU?

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

    Yeah, I thought I'd be waiting another week at least. I'm in Wisconsin so I'm a little closer than you. Too bad I have to work tomorrow, no time to celebrate right

  17. St. Mary's

    badgernurse posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Has anyone heard from St. Mary's or know when interview invitations are going

  18. St. Mary's

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

    I got a letter for an invitation to interview. I guess the previous posters answered the question about the other letters sent out. Keep your chin up. I've been at this for a while and I know it will...

  19. St. Mary's

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

    Thanks for posting the info. I still haven't received a letter yet. Maybe that's a good

  20. St. Mary's

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

    Huh? That almost seems like the wrong letter was sent to you. I didn't get anything in the mail today but will let you know what mine says. It may be a good idea to call the school. This does seem...

  21. Delayed entry after admission?

    badgernurse posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is purely hypothetical but I'm wondering if anyone has been accepted to school then asked if you could start the following year instead of the upcoming year. Why would anyone do this, you ask?...

  22. Acceptance from alternate list.

    badgernurse replied to chords1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I feel your frustration. I am waiting myself to hear if I will be accepted after applying to a couple schools for the second year in a row. I look great on paper, have been involved in committees,...

  23. typical route for interview notification

    badgernurse replied to glhrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    UAB will send you a letter with some open dates, you call the secretary to set it up. Then they'll send you a confirmation letter. Other schools did it pretty much the same way when I interviewed last...

  24. where do i go from here?

    badgernurse replied to caramelnicola's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is similar to the argument for doing med/surg for a year to "get your sea legs" before going on to critical care. Some may disagree with me here, but I don't subscribe to that at all. I did every...

  25. RN please please please help

    badgernurse replied to HeatherRR's topic in General Nursing

    Heather, if you still haven't found anyone, email me through allnurses and I'll try to answer your
