  1. How do I become an RN

    nessajune21 replied to texasboi's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is what Vito meant. To be a CRNA you generally must have a bachelors degree and 3-5 years ICU experience. Research local CRNA schools to find specifics. Here are some links to CRNA programs...

  2. How do my chances look

    nessajune21 replied to doodoobutter's topic in General Nursing

    Radiation therapy is more competitive to get into than nursing school- and getting into nursing school isn't easy! (I know about both!) Choose the program that you want into, and go speak with an...

  3. Radiation and sterility in males

    nessajune21 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    For radiation therapy of throat cancer, he would have only had radiation directed to the throat- not the testes. The radiation used is ionized only to the given site. The therapists cut blocks in the...

  4. Against vaccines:

    nessajune21 replied to Gavsmom's topic in General Nursing

    I think it is very important to have your vaccinations- not only for your own safety, but for the safety of your patients. If you choose nursing as your profession, then the health of your patient is...

  6. Nursing major vs. Premed major

    nessajune21 replied to ghaleon128's topic in General Nursing

    Medicine is EXTREMELY competitive as well. If nursing school is too hard to get into, I have an inkling that med school will be too hard to get into as well. Honestly, the nursing school...

  10. CNA trying to hit me up for drugs.

    nessajune21 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    It seems dangerous to just laugh her off. I think that you need to be stern in telling her that you WILL not get her any pills, rather than that you CAN not. Good luck with your situation. It sounds...

  11. Nursing school and a 3.47 GPA.Do I stand a chance?

    nessajune21 replied to Want2BeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Entrance isn't really based so much on overall GPA so much as it is based on the grades received in nursing prerequisites. If you did poorly in any of the prereqs this is what may have been holding...

  12. Urgggggggg!!!!!!!!!!!

    nessajune21 replied to Bella36RN's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like a lot of responsibility for a nurse of 8 months! I would think that you would still have so much to learn before being thrown into such pressure. Your facility sounds like they don't...

  14. Scheduling Death??

    nessajune21 replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

    How sad that his condition is such a burden that they can't schedule time in for him to die. I bet it is more inconvenient for him that he is passing than it is for them to have to take a couple days...

  15. Withholding Pain Meds???

    nessajune21 replied to In_Chantress's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it is more acceptable to be physically impaired (by pain) than to be chemically impaired. Ere on the side of caution. But, I am glad to see that you are concerned. I think it is a little cruel...

  16. Below 3.0 GPA and you still got in?

    nessajune21 replied to MsKaz's topic in General Nursing

    I think the prerequisite course grades matter more than your overall GPA. There is always hope. Good luck and don't give

  17. Non-detectable street drugs?

    nessajune21 replied to Pat_Pat RN's topic in General Nursing

    Electrolyte imbalances will make people seem crazy or drugged up. I agree that labs should be checked before it's assumed someone is on drugs. And- Jenkem! You're hilarious Morettia! (I thought I was...

  20. Family Doesn't Want Patient To Know?
