    Toby's mum replied to jessicah67's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I find the stated reason for failing CRNA school being 'age 40 and over' the only variable in common surprising and I would not let this one rather vague study discourage anyone considering CRNA...

  2. Apply now?

    Toby's mum replied to TLC RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    TLC, when you say you have 4-6 months on CVICU, is that after your orientation, or are you counting that as part of the experience? Just curious.

  3. what journals should I be taking?

    Toby's mum replied to kc_jellybean's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Brian, you may be referring to the Student Journal of NA. If so, you are right, that is not available to non-AANA members (to be eligible, you have to currently be a student in CRNA school). Perhaps...

  4. what journals should I be taking?

    Toby's mum replied to kc_jellybean's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Brian, I'm not sure what the schools get, but it is the official AANA journal that is published six times per year. The annual subscription is for the calendar year, so if you buy the sub in July,...

  5. what journals should I be taking?

    Toby's mum replied to kc_jellybean's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You may purchase the AANA journal subscription (I think it's about $45 per year) without being a member. It's an excellent resource and I highly recommend you

    Toby's mum replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    Yogurt--quick, healthy, somewhat

  10. Covering tele for a non-tele nurse

    Toby's mum replied to grouchy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure about liability, but when non-tele nurses are pulled to the tele floor, they are told they do NOT have responsibility to pull the strip,& id rhythm--a tele nurse does this for them....

  11. Community hospital vs. teaching hospital??? newbie needs help ...pls!!!!!

    Toby's mum replied to DaretoDreamRN's topic in Maryland Nursing

    LizzieJ, Hopkins advertises positions in their ICUs--were you not interested or offered one of these positions? Just curious.

    Toby's mum replied to chizzy's topic in Maryland Nursing

  13. Near miss, should I be blamed?

    Toby's mum replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    Tony, This sounds like a horrific experience for you and so disheartening that your management did not back you up, but actively went against you. I agree with the advice that you should immediately...

  14. Best nursing shoes? recommendations?

    Toby's mum replied to newohiorn's topic in General Nursing

  18. "You know you are an ER Nurse when..."

    Toby's mum replied to Divern808's topic in Emergency

    You walk on the floor and the board is full of red ICU/PCU/GMF holds. Hallway is packed and like an obstacle course. ER is on full divert and yet in comes a respiratory arrest. You work the code...

  19. Memory of Nursing Books, are they worth it?

    Toby's mum replied to ginc328's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Virginia, They are good for course tests, not really study books for NCLEX. I copy the relevant pages and tape them to my walls so whenever I'm walking by I can 'study' metabolic acidosis etc....

  20. Quitting a six figure job to become a nurse...am I nuts

    Toby's mum replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Toby's mum replied to rose234's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Toby's mum replied to warriorprncsrb's topic in General Nursing

    Warrior, I was in a similar situation and considered doing the accelerated route (which would have meant moving to another state and $$$$$$). However, I applied and went through a local ADN-diploma...

  25. Pay Rate E.R. tech

    Toby's mum replied to imaginethat101's topic in General Nursing

    for comparison sake: I work PT (20 hrs/wk) as a Patient Care Tech in a NJ inner-city ER (14 beds + 2 gyn/pelvic rooms + 8 subacute rooms) and make $10.39/hr (day). I also work as a per diem cardiac...
