I was recently accepted to 2 CRNA programs and wanted to ask how well did your school prepare you to provide anesthesia care upon graudation?

Best of luck to you! I didn't get in :-( hopefully one of the other schools I applied to will take me!

Hey I applied to UMaryland's program for next year as well! Keep me posted if you hear anything! I haven't heard anything about an interview yet... hope that's not bad news...

I applied to FIU and they invited me for an interview next month. They have 4 days of interviews lasting all day long. I'm not sure what to expect. Other than that I haven't heard anything else from them.

Just curious if this is "normal"... I have been working 7p-7a for about a year, for the last 6 months I have picked up an extra OT shift during the day. So I usually work 3 night shifts per week and one day shift per week. Over the last 4-6 weeks I h...

So I have hypothyroidism... I'll be starting on synthroid. It's so strange, I really thought it was just the opposite shifts... I think I'm still contemplating going to days I don't know now though. Thanks for all of your imput and support veryone!

I have been thinking about what you decided... my director did give me the option. And since you say you don't miss the differential I suppose I could learn to live without it by getting my life back. Thanks Joanna!

I work nights but day shift is usually staffed the same, 30 tele beds get 5 nurses and 2 CNAs sometimes 3 during the day. Sometimes day shift gets an additional free charge nurse.

I think I've even convinced myself its psychological! So if you don't mind me asking... did you ever find out the cause for you?

So much has happened since then I don't exactly remember all I can tell you is I had to have my fingerprints done twice because the police officer in training didn't do them properly and they were unreadable... sorry I can't be of any more help. Goo...

I'm wondering if anyone has done a Versant Program. If you're not familiar with it check out the website www.versant.org Share any of your experiences/opinions dealing with this program here! Thanks!

Has anyone checked the requirements for the laptops... I don't have nearly enough of anything on my current one. I don't know much about computers but the nursing school says processor speed needs to be 2.8Ghz/800 I went on dell's website and the fa...

Letter was supposed to be leather in the email LOL. That's all I know, I got all nike's white leather "athletic" type.

A friend sent this article to me, does this really happen? Has anyone heard of this?? What are your thoughts?? Mother Eats Placenta http://www.momlogic.com/2009/04/i_ate_the_placenta.php

I've never heard of this I never thought to search the topic on here. I wonder what it tastes like....

I had to go to Quest 4 times before I was able to get the test done!! It's impossible to get there if you work durning the day. The times that they give the drug tests aren't very convenient!

Hey acurarsxstar congrats! I got my scrubs yesterday! I can't wait to start the program and put some faces to these posts!

Haha that's what it seems like. But in the program's defense, I would think that any nursing program (especially accelerated ones) would keep you more than busy. Good luck w/ your application! What term are you applying for?

I think during the summer we are only in the hospital for clinicals once a week then in the fall and spring semesters we are there about twice a week. I don't know if we need to wear them to the sim labs but I think we only have those once a week. ...

Hey linzilou, welcome to THE U!! CONGRATS on your acceptance!!

omg i love finding nemo it's my fav i also love this quote!! :-)

While I don't particularly know Dunedin I did just recently visit a friend in the Sarasota area (Bradenton specifically). It was beautiful! Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater Beach... so many places near that area! I currently live in Miami and whe...

I haven't yet started nursing school so I'm not entirely sure what all a nurse gets to do. I'm curious, can a nurse give stitches? Can you get a "certification" to give them, or is that a doctor's job? Can nurses with advanced degrees give stitches? ...

Not sure where you are located... completely unrelated to the health care field but throughout school I worked catering jobs and did banquets for a country club (those rich folks still keep spending through this economy). It's long hours but usually...

What a pain in the butt! Luckily I got my new fingerprint card in the mail yesterday so I will be going back to the police dept today and hopefully they do a better job this time cuz the deadline is coming up soon!
