  1. CCRN

    nurseman78 replied to special1rn's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I just took the CCRN for the first time and passed it. I attended a prep course offered through my hospital and used the "Pass CCRN!" book and especially the CD that came with it with the practice...

    nurseman78 replied to bridge2RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I actually got accepted to the school where I did my ADN, Weber State University, for their RN to BSN, so I went with them instead. Less additional courses, 2 semesters, summer off. ULL seemed like...

    nurseman78 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey everyone, I have been looking for a thread about this, but after not finding much, I thought I'd post and see if I can get some answers. I am itching to apply to CRNA schools as soon as I can. I...

  5. University of Louisiana-Lafayette online RN-BSN

    nurseman78 replied to bridge2RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Question about ULL, how manageable would it be to double up on nursing courses and also take a co-req at the same time? I was accepted to start in October but I decided to postpone until January. I...

  6. Online graduate-level pharm, phys, patho classes

    nurseman78 replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So just for the record, I received an e-mail from the MSN Advisement Coordinator of Liberty University who explicitly stated that they do not allow non-degree seeking students to take the Advanced...

  7. Online graduate-level pharm, phys, patho classes

    nurseman78 replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A few questions: 1. When I called Liberty University, some recruiter girl who had contacted me after I sent financial aid information to Liberty told me that they do not allow non-degree seeking...

  8. does Burn count as ICU

    nurseman78 replied to CRNA2b-2017's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    About the all crna schools site: definitely contact the program you are interested in (preferably the director) before applying. One take Burn experience, some don't. But many

  9. does Burn count as ICU

    nurseman78 replied to CRNA2b-2017's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Burn Unit DOES count for ICU, and you CAN get into CRNA school with it. I have two friends who made it into CRNA school from Burn units. One worked at Vanderbilt, got into University of Chattanooga...

  10. Any Emergency Room NPs in Utah?

    nurseman78 replied to grett42's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work at the University of Utah in the ER, and I have worked with a few NPs there. They work in the fast track (known as Sage), as well as in the observation unit. They also occasionally help out...

    nurseman78 posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I was just hired at the U of U and I'm extremely excited, particularly for their tuition discount and the possibility of getting my DNP there. I was just wondering if there are any nurses who are...

  12. Opportunity as a Nurse Anesthetist in Utah?

    nurseman78 replied to flyfish108's topic in General Nursing

    I have recently moved back to Utah to be with family and friends and am working at one of the larger hospitals in Salt Lake City. One thing I would say is if it's an option for you, don't discount the...

  13. Just realized, I think I hate ICU, prefer floors

    nurseman78 replied to MommyandRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked on an SICU for 1 year, am now working between five different ICU's and the ER as a critical care float nurse. Great job, by the way, highly recommend it. It is true that working in the...

    nurseman78 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

    My orientation consisted of rotating for about 3 days through the burn/trauma ICU, MICU, SICU, neuro ICU, huntsman cancer ICU, intermediate care unit, and the ER. I also chose to take their basic ICU...

    nurseman78 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

    The float pool has been great. I work in all of the ICU's and the ER. The float pool staff is fantastic and very supportive. I got a great orientation and I am learning a lot. They have a great...

  18. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    nurseman78 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    They will want you to fly down for the interview. They get quite a few applicants and it's pretty competitive to get in. It's worth it, though. Great place to

    nurseman78 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I have met a lot of really cool people to hang out with. It's been great. But the family thing is the biggest motivator for the

  20. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    nurseman78 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    My decision to leave Nashville has nothing to do with Vanderbilt or the floor I work on. I love the people here and the hospital. Just wanted to be near family and friends. Being out here by myself...

  21. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    nurseman78 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Vanderbilt recently upped the pay for all nurses by about $2 to $3, so I think the starting pay is more like $21.00 for new grads now. If you work in critical care, you also make about $1.50 more an...

  22. Utah RN pay, Salt Lake City area

    nurseman78 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

    I think the cost of living is pretty similar. As for whether having a BSN versus an ADN results in more pay, it doesn't at Vanderbilt. As for this dilemma of poor pay for nurses in Utah, honestly,...

    nurseman78 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in General Nursing

    I know this post is a little old, but I'll answer anyway. I hate to see questions unanswered. I was just hired onto the U in their ICU Float Pool. I have 1 year of SICU experience, and I was hired...

  25. Vanderbilt's Nurse Residency Program

    nurseman78 replied to LeLeeFNP's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I was accepted into the critical care track last time this year. I would say the best things that you can do are be honest and confident. They don't expect you to know everything. I think the...
