    TBICU replied to lamosher's topic in Michigan Nursing

  2. Who else got into Mount Marty?

    TBICU replied to aaron1013's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What units did you work at in the Omaha/CB area that got you in? I am a couple of years away from applying for CRNA school but have thought already at applying at Mt. Marty. How did you like the PD...

  3. PENN interview!!!

    TBICU replied to RNNJ's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm wondering...I had a recent interview at UPenn and don't think I completely answered their questions....Is there a chance I could still be accepted? I haven't heard anything from them yet? Did I...

  4. WCCCD Med-Surg 3 and Psych

    TBICU replied to rn2bhopefully's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Psyche is tough and much of this is due to the fact people do not want to enter this field in nursing and go into the class with a somewhat closed mind. I enjoyed all we learned and our clinical at...

  5. preping to be a CRNA while in nursing school

    TBICU replied to racergirl617's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You might want to check for the hiring requirements for a surgical tech. Most job postings seem to want a "certified" surgical tech (which is a separate program of at least one year at the school I...

  6. Credentials

    TBICU replied to MichiganChris's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am in the AA area. I am working on my ADN and then next fall right back into a RN-BSN program at one of the yet to be determined schools in the area. I work part-time in a Level 1 Trauma/Burn ICU...

  7. Credentials

    TBICU replied to MichiganChris's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am not a CRNA, but that is my long term goal. I will over 40 when I will be at the point of starting to apply to CRNA schools. My advice is don't sell yourself short. If that is your goal why let a...

  8. wcccd spring 09

    TBICU replied to kh210sn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Nobody is trying to suppress your right to free speech on this discussion board. What Zembalina and myself were trying to do was give you our views from within the program and what it takes to...

  9. ICU Experience

    TBICU replied to Jump_Nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It depends on the institution that you are attending. The BSN program that is predominate at the hospital that I work part-time at does allow the students to select in their senior year the option of...

  10. ICU Experience

    TBICU replied to Jump_Nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It depends on the institution you are attending. If you don't think that is going to be sufficient to get you employed in an ICU, you might want to consider part-time employment while attending...

  11. WCCCD Med Surg III

    TBICU replied to Amanda8883's topic in Michigan Nursing

    There are only polarizing views of the stated instructor. I like her in lecture, and have heard from friends that she is tough, but makes you a better student/nurse in the long run in the clinical...

  12. wcccd spring 09

    TBICU replied to kh210sn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Too many hoops to jump through to get in? If you step back and look at the big picture you will see that there is a huge surge in applicants trying to get into nursing, especially in this state. Of...

  13. Garden City Hospital

    TBICU replied to RN1982's topic in Michigan Nursing

    The one day I spent in their ICU for my nursing clinicals, I really enjoyed. My fellow students that went to the unit for a 1 day experience enjoyed it as well. The staff were friendly and were open...

  14. U of M hospital

    TBICU replied to RN1982's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am a tech in the Trauma/Burn ICU (I know...not very creative on the UserID) while going to nursing school. We do have agency nurses in our unit, quite a few actually, but I have not run across any...

  15. WCCC does NOT have an accredited nursing program

    TBICU replied to nurseO9's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Candygyrl, Accredited schools are accredited because they choose that option. It is an option and nothing more. A voluntary process, not mandatory. As I stated before, for RN's the only time being...

  16. WCCC does NOT have an accredited nursing program

    TBICU replied to nurseO9's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You do not need to be from an accredited school to get into CRNA school. The minimum requirement is a BSN or another appropriate degree. This is what is found on the AANA website under "requirements"....

  17. Hospitals that hire New Grads in ED?

    TBICU replied to amylburk's topic in Michigan Nursing

    U of M hires fresh GN's. Our unit has a bunch of them rotating through for a couple days for their ER orientation. One said that they are at approximately 70 rooms right now and want to expand to 120...

  18. Male scholarships for male students

    TBICU replied to skychiefer's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yes, it is a grant not a loan, sorry about the syntax error. They do not pay for a lot more once you get into the program, at least not through that particular program (If so please state the webpage...

  19. Waiting List 4 Wcc,occ,hfcc And Schoolcraft.

    TBICU replied to kyla_tiara's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Another reason you need to consider different paths that lead to the same goal is money ($$$$). People are starting to take the CC/RN-BSN route due to the expenses related to going to a 4-yr...

  20. Male scholarships for male students

    TBICU replied to skychiefer's topic in Michigan Nursing

    There is a scholarship available. It is a Perkins Federal Loan. This loan is available to all people but specific to the career you are pursuing. Men in nursing, women in heating, venting, and A/C...

  21. hourly rate

    TBICU replied to jeffrey01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Most of the hospitals are in the same pay range due to the competitive market within the metro area right now. There are several major expansions taking place that will continue to provide plentiful...

  22. CRNA and family life:

    TBICU replied to RunninDad's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    RunninDad, If you have a choice of just the two, CVICU would probably be chosen by most trying to achieve their career goal. However, there is plenty to be learned in Trauma ICU and plenty of CRNA's...

  23. Congrats to all students starting their program for Fall 08!

    TBICU replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan Nursing

  25. BSN question

    TBICU replied to esunabella's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It really all depends on where you decide to continue your education. Some institutions have more pre-req's than others. A nurse on my unit just completed his RN-BSN at Eastern Michigan. It took him...
