  1. Anyone started as a Lpn and ended as a CRNA

    ncemt replied to denyanna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I started out as an NA (nursing assistant), and will be starting a DNP degree CRNA program next month. I know that doesn't exactly answer your question, but if you were wondering if you can start out...

    ncemt replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    ncemt replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Twois- Thanks for the advice, I've heard that too but I wasn't sure if it was just NICU-related (since NICU NP programs tend to require more experience than the rest, usually 2 years rather than one...

    ncemt replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  9. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    ncemt replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I was reading the thread for the last class (Fall 2010), and it sounds like they all found out together on the Monday, February 15th. Since their last interview group was scheduled for Friday,...

  14. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    ncemt replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Thanks so much, spring2011! That's what I was leaning towards, I'd definitely rather err on the side of being overdressed rather than underdressed. Guess I'll see many of you all on Friday, can't...

  15. Duke ABSN Spring 2011

    ncemt replied to SandyH's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    This may be nitpicky, but I'm just 22 and right out of college so I'm not 100% sure what's expected in the real world...are pantyhose a must? I'm wearing a (somewhat colorful) skirt with a beige...

  16. Taking BP on infants

    ncemt replied to mmm cdiff's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I work in a NICU and I find it works best when I unwrap the infant, place the BP cuff, and then reswaddle the baby. That way they calm down quickly and you can even hold them or rock them to keep...

    ncemt replied to mdaniellek's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey guys! I'm applying to the ABSN program for Spring 2011 and I had a quick question: is it true that recommendations are not required nor accepted by the program? That's what the old application...

    ncemt replied to *PaintedSky*'s topic in Florida Nursing

    krinz86, I'm applying for the Fall 2010 cohort, too, so I can't answer your question about the alternates. However, I did attend the live information session at USF this morning and I can tell you...

  21. How to prevent fainting???

    ncemt replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    Experienced fainter here as well (11 times and counting), the only thing I can add that hasn't been mentioned yet is to purchase a box of ammonia inhalants and keep a couple on you at all times....
