  1. Ideal qualities of an ICU nurse

    MoLee228 posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    For all of you experienced critical care nurses, what would you say are the top few MOST important qualities that a critical care nurse should have? For example, I know ICU nurses need to work well...

  2. Working as a CNA while being in Nursing School

    MoLee228 replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in General Students

    I'm in an accelerated BSN program and we were warned at the beginning of the program not to work at all or else risk our chances of completing the program. They assured us that there would be...

  3. When to apply for jobs? May 2010 grad

    MoLee228 replied to SarahLovesNovember's topic in General Nursing

    I had the exact same question!!! I already work at a large teaching hospital as a nursing assistant, and I could have a position on the floor I currently work on, but I really would like to get into...

  4. ATTN All nurse managers!

    MoLee228 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am taking leadership in my accelerated BSN program right now, and I'm currently working on a paper about nurse managers. I've been speaking to some nurse managers from the hospital I work at, but...

  5. Case Western Admission

    MoLee228 replied to trav2CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm very jealous! I graduate from nursing school in May and I am currently a NAII at UH. My dream is to some day become a CRNA, and I would love nothing more than to go to Case!!! Here's a question...

  6. Gloves and injections

    MoLee228 replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    The CDC states that alcohol-based hand sanitizers have been shown to reduce bacteria on hands more effectively than soap and water. Based on their recommendations, I was taught to use soap and water...

  7. Did/Does your nursing school operate like this??

    MoLee228 replied to Blondie24's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, my school does it, too. BUT the best part is when you complain about their complete lack of organization and communication, their response is, "WELCOME TO NURSING!" YES we all know that things...

  8. CRNA supervision by anesthia MD

    MoLee228 replied to darne20's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Interestingly, I had an anesthesia fellow say to me that if he had to choose who did his anesthesia (if he was having surgery) he would always choose a CRNA over an MD. This is because we are at a...

  9. First couple months

    MoLee228 replied to vitkev13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why does it cost the military half a million for each CRNA? That's WAY more than it costs for civilian CRNAs to educate themselves...why does it cost them so much more? Perhaps they should cut back...

  10. What can I expect from NS orientation?

    MoLee228 replied to Coruscatedgirl's topic in General Students

    I am halfway through my accelerated BSN program, and I was VERY disappointed and discouraged after our orientation. I had looked forward to starting the program for months, and finally orientation...

  11. Accelarated BSN program without a wait list and preques not recquired

    MoLee228 replied to sue19's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous poster, you will be hard-pressed to find a school that does not require pre-requisites. How do you think they boil the material down to 15 months? It's because all the...

  12. Is YOUR hospital hiring???

    MoLee228 posted a topic in General Nursing

    OK, we all know that new grads are having a hard time finding jobs. Many hospitals are on a hiring freeze, and others will not hire new grads. For the benefit of new grads and soon-to-be-grads, I...

  13. Stress levels of ICU vs CRNA

    MoLee228 replied to CRNA2BKY's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm still in my accelerated BSN program, so I don't have years of experience to back my advice for you, but for what my advice is worth: DO NOT GIVE UP!!!!!!!! It is NORMAL to be a nervous wreck as a...

  14. New Grad Jobs in DC

    MoLee228 posted a topic in General Nursing

    My boyfriend is interviewing with the FBI, and we might end up moving to DC if he gets hired. I don't graduate until May 2010, so I'm sure the job prospects will be different by then, but I know it...

  15. Calling in....

    MoLee228 replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry about the loss of your dog . Pets are members of the family and I certainly do not function normally after the loss of a family member. REGARDLESS of whether you were sleep deprived,...

  16. Background Check problem & worried

    MoLee228 replied to annasmomlisa's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I agree with you. I would do the same. If I had the choice between someone with a criminal record and someone with none, I would choose the person with the clean record. BUT, I think there are...

  17. Patients and their crazy requests

    MoLee228 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    just last week i was given two patients in clinical for the first time. i was definitely ready, i was to the point where i was bored with one. but my heart dropped when i got report and realized...

  18. Grades- do instructors round up?

    MoLee228 replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    The definition of mediocre on dictionary.com is: "of only ordinary or moderate quality; neither good nor bad; barely adequate." A "C" student is mediocre, they are barely adequate because they are...

  19. Grades- do instructors round up?

    MoLee228 replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    When I said that the person who scored 75% should consider retaking the course to master the material, I meant so they could get a 95%...which is what I consider mastering the material. Are you proud...

  20. Grades- do instructors round up?

    MoLee228 replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in General Students

    Why wouldn't they fail someone by .02%? If a student doesn't earn enough points to pass the class, that's that. I don't know why they should be given a "freebie" .02%. Where should the line be...

  21. Why so Interested????

    MoLee228 replied to Screen name's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am hesitant to admit to classmates/instructors that I want to become a CRNA because so does most of the class, and I know for a fact that most of them are in it for the money. I would endure the...

  22. How do you deal with annoying classmates?

    MoLee228 replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain! What is WITH all the complaining?!?!?!? :argue: It seriously drives me nuts . I have never heard so many people find so many negative things about every aspect of life...until I...

  23. what is bio=psycho-social model

    MoLee228 replied to student_nurse1986's topic in General Students

    It's both a medical model and a theory used in psychology, maybe try searching for it in a psychology database like psycINFO. I learned about it first during my psychology degree. But Cheercml...

  24. Info about Dubai

    MoLee228 replied to lindsaykapp's topic in International Nursing

    This may not help at all, but maybe search the Cleveland Clinic website, they are building a huge hospital in Dubai and recruiting U.S. nurses to go there. I am assuming there aren't a lot of nurses...

  25. Taking Anti-Anxiety Meds During Clinical?

    MoLee228 posted a topic in General Students

    I have been having some anxiety problems lately (aren't most nursing students?) and I have gotten a prescription from my physician for Klonopin 0.5 mg to be split in half and take 0.25 mg prn for...
