    Sarah Kat replied to tlj1cookie's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That wasn't me, it was RNnTraining1973. I was kinda wondering the same thing myself. I only figured that maybe the CRNA school she wanted to go to only offered a post-master's

  4. Emotional day at work

    Sarah Kat replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in General Nursing

    I don't start LPN school until January, so I have never had a patient/client die. I was with my mother-in-law last year when she passed in the CICU. She was slowly going into multiple system organ...

    Sarah Kat replied to Sarah Kat's topic in General Nursing

  7. spooked out

    Sarah Kat replied to nursey1's topic in General Nursing

    Sarah Kat replied to WannaBeeee :)'s topic in General Nursing

    Sarah Kat replied to eng_nurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you don't mind me asking, why go from CNM to CRNA? Was there something about CNM that you didn't like? I had originally thought about CNM but now are pretty set on

  12. Question for all you "gas passers"

    Sarah Kat replied to shodobe's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sarah Kat replied to tlj1cookie's topic in Online Distance Learning

  14. I can't get into the nursing college @ school

    Sarah Kat replied to tlj1cookie's topic in Online Distance Learning

  16. Help!!! Whats the difference between AASN and ASN?

    Sarah Kat replied to jessthelvn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If I remember correctly, on the website it says that if you plan to persue your BSN or higher, then you will want to get the ASN. The AASN is more for those who don't want to go further (probably...
