  1. Has anyone heard from Columbia University?

    Just wondering if anyone has heard from Columbia--I know we should be hearing soon--thought I would hear Friday??
  2. Nurses presenting patient on rounds

    Stony Brook University Hospital on Long Island--New York
  3. Nurses presenting patient on rounds

    I work in SICU and we present in rounds. At first I was very nervous about it--but now it is really no big deal. We present the patient Mon-Fri to an interdisciplinary team--ie NP, residents, pharmacy, nutritionist, sometimes PT and about half the...
  4. What is pimping?

    Maybe I am a little old--but what exactly is pimping?
  5. What was your Undergraduate Major?

    I am starting Columbia University in June.
  6. What was your Undergraduate Major?

    BS in biology. AAS in nursing.
  7. Has anyone heard from Columbia University?

    I received an email from the program assistant saying that we will be getting more info soon and it had links to some sites we maybe interested in. I received my award letter from financial aid and then i had to apply for the loans-i haven't heard a...
  8. To BSN, or not to BSN... your opinions please.

    I have a BS in Biology and an AAS in Nursing and I have been accepted into a CRNA program. My school accepts non-nursing bachelors but you have to take 5 credits of community health. I agree with the above posters I think you have the best chances ...
  9. Parents won't support my decision

    From your previous post should I assume you have been admitted into a crna program? and I would assume you are an rn? I am not indian, however, i am very close to my parents and their opinion is very important to me. I would start by educating them...
  10. Moving from Labor and Delivery to CRNA

    I worked in L&D for 4 years and I loved every bit of it. CRNA's covered anesthesia for my unit, over the years I talked at length with them and one crna continually urged me to consider crna. At the time i had small children and felt I couldn't...
  11. Adelphi or Molloy??

    just from a quick look on the websites it looks like molloy is cheaper. why don't you visit each campus and interview them-talk to some of the nursing students. i am not sure that one is really better than the other--so you might want to see which ...
  12. Ruptured AVM

    Initially, I did not look at your name. Best advice i could give you is put your child in that bed--your 19 yo son or daughter who is laying in that bed through no fault of his or her own. Even as a nurse--it would be so hard. I agree the patient ...
  13. Adelphi or Molloy??

    Really??? My husband has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from stony brook--since it is hanging in our office i am quite certain stony brook offers a nursing degree. I have a Bachelor of Science in Biology. So look into stony brook--getting ...
  14. Has anyone heard from Columbia University?

    I AM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just found out today! :yeahthat: So pasero will see you in May!
  15. Adelphi or Molloy??

    What about Stony Brook?--it is probably much cheaper! Otherwise both schools are fine-so go to which ever is cheaper.
  16. Ruptured AVM

    have seen this situation occur many times and during these times you are caring for the family as much as you are caring for the pt. the family is going through the stages of death and dying--remember denial, anger, bargaining, etc .... and each pe...
  17. On the monitor or off???

    When we have pts with transfer orders we still monitor our pts--all of us (on our unit) feel they are still in the icu. some of our pt will go to q2h vs--but that is the least frequent time we will chart vitals--and typically i still cycle the bp q1...
  18. Rough night as a new RN in ICU please HELP!

    You sound like you did great--that was a heavy pt. Every new nurse feels the way you do--when I was a new new on the way home in the morning I would thank god I didn't kill anyone and on the way in I would pray everyone was still alive!!! Now I rea...
  19. Has anyone heard from Columbia University?

    CRNA2b11--I spoke to someone on another sight--they pm'd me and told me they interviewed and did not get accepted and they did not get wait-listed. So I do not think they wait-listed all 14.
  20. Has anyone heard from Columbia University?

    Thanks pasero! I have no idea how many people are wait-listed--wish I did! At first I thought they wait-listed everyone that interviews--but I know from another sight that someone interviewed and did not get in (and wasn't wait-listed). A friend t...
  21. Has anyone heard from Columbia University?

    I was wait-listed . So now the wait is Excruciating!!!!! So maybe I will see you in May--fingers crossed (and a few toes:bugeyes:). Congratulations and good luck! Any other wait-listers out there?
  22. Has anyone heard from Columbia University?

    Just curious if anyone has received a denial? Cindy- Did you have to reply and accept? Did you have a cut off date to accept? When did you interview? thanks!
  23. New to the website---questions about crna?

    You must be a registered nurse to become a CRNA, therefore, I would shadow a CRNA and if it is right for you start applying to nursing schools. In addition to being a nurse you must have at least one year of critical care experience.
  24. Has anyone heard from Columbia University?

    I had interviewed early dec and in my follow up thank you letter they said we would be notified mid-jan. Also at the end of my interview i was told we would be notified jan 16 or 17. I am so glad to hear that i am very anxious--i only applied to co...
  25. Has anyone heard from Columbia University?

    Well that makes me feel a little better! When I received the follow up email I thought we would be told either way? When did you interview?
