  1. Steroid Question

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

    I am neither. I am just a nursing student who is just fascinated with anesthesia and who is an aspiring CRNA. I have been fortunate to observe some procedures and that's where all the curiosity and...

  2. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    sewnew replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad to hear that I am not the only one with this problem. I have two texters in my class. Hmmm, I wonder if they are texting each other. What bothers me the most is that they text under the table and...

  5. CRNA or ACNP for Extremely Driven

    sewnew replied to tinyironic's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    By "blocks" I am assuming nerve blocks, correct? Just am a little curious as to why you enjoy performing nerve blocks so much. From an aspiring

  6. Double Glove with HIV positive patients

    sewnew replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I once heard that double-gloving for an HIV positive patient can be a form of discrimination. Now I heard this from a dental hygienist and not a nurse, so it can be very possible that this does not...

  7. ACNP vs CRNA

    sewnew replied to totoro's topic in General Nursing

    What program at UMB is your friend graduating from? Is she in the CRNA program? I am wanting to apply there. Why does she think that the instructors are horrible???? This comes as a shock and a...

  8. ACNP vs CRNA

    sewnew replied to totoro's topic in General Nursing

    Wait a minute, I just realized that your profile says that you're from Baltimore (I am assuming Baltimore, MD). If this is the case, Univ. of MD DOES NOT require the GRE to get into their CRNA...

  9. ACNP vs CRNA

    sewnew replied to totoro's topic in General Nursing

    Do some hunting...:typing Not every CRNA program requires the GRE to gain acceptance into the program. You may be able to find one of these programs in your area. Best of

  10. Deciding between RN vs PA vs MD

    sewnew replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    The thing that I find so appealing about nursing is that there is always more room to advance your education. Once you're a PA, you're always a PA. You sort of hit a glass ceiling and there is no room...

  11. RN-MSN University MD???

    sewnew replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in Maryland Nursing

    You would have to go through the same steps to becoming a CRNA regardless of the program that you choose. You would still have to get the same experience in the ICU after graduation. I forgot to...

  12. Towson University

    sewnew replied to Unique87's topic in Maryland Nursing

  14. CRNA changed to PhD??

    sewnew replied to silverbelle's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't want to start a war here, but I have heard this question posed many times. And I want to preface this question by saying that I am 100% in support of CRNAs having a doctorate degree. If and...

  15. RN-MSN University MD???

    sewnew replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in Maryland Nursing

    If you live in the area, I would strongly recommend attending one of the SON's information sessions or their open house. Actually, their fall open house is on November 15. They just sent me a postcard...

    sewnew replied to FutureNurseSaga's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  17. Question regarding CRNA practicein Community hospital vs Teaching hospital

    sewnew replied to jilliang's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's a shame that you can't perform peripheral blocks or epidurals. I guess that many of the epidurals are done for OB cases. I know that in many hospitals CRNAs are not allowed to perform any type...

  18. Steroid Question

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

    So let me get this straight...I am not quite understanding what you are saying. Are you saying that pain radiating down the leg can be both a good thing AND a bad thing? Good because it indicates that...

    sewnew replied to sewnew's topic in MICU, SICU

  23. How I take a test and get an A

    sewnew replied to TessaMae's topic in General Students

    It's probably better to read the chapter in detail before the lecture and then just review the chapter before the test. That way, you are already familiarized with the

  24. New Grads in the SICU???

    sewnew replied to sewnew's topic in MICU, SICU
