  1. I've not heard of this. Thank
  2. how much experience is recommended.

    I think it depends on the school. When I was in acnp, I worked full time during didatic and went to school full time, which was very draining but doable. Many ahead of me just went to school part time...
  3. am i paranoid

    I would most definitely think it's just to talk
  4. University of New England It's not up and running yet, but will be soon. Looking at it again maybe it is a
  5. am i paranoid

    Paranoid, unless you've noticed you aren't doing well and feel like you should be worried? Either way, just relax. You can't do anything about it and it's most likely nothing. Don't sweat the small...
  6. Fed up with Stupid Parents

    No, you are not the only one, and you can't fix
  7. I'm sorry, but I don't believe there is any anesthesia specific fellowships that you would desire. There is a great conference with the national trauma institute, and I knew one guy who met some air...
  8. It's proposed moving to the DNP by 2025. I doubt anyone is even sure it's going to happen, only time will
  9. Been there. Just keep your mouth shut and head down. Keep reading everything you can from different programs websites and the stuff on here or other forums for nurse anesthesia and you'll learn...
  10. Tonight's Boston Med: nurses featured!

    I don't understand why they were still holding him? Support him through intoxication, wakes up coherent, sends him on his way with a bill in his hand. No reason to monitor a patient who has a...
  11. Nurse Anesthetists

    If you are smart enough to handle it, then I say come on over. Study hard, work hard. That's all that should matter. I've known lots of people to go to school with kids. 4 people out of just 22 in my...
  12. hippa violation???

    Let it go. I wouldn't even casually mention it unless it happens again or she actively seeks out a chart to look at and didn't just happen across it. Trust me. I've seen this situation play out...
  13. Nubain Issues

    I can see why see would be confused. Some agonist/antagonist drugs cannot be reversed with
  14. Inhumane Treatments

    Same story every day. Nurses who don't turn, nurses who give patients their benadryl, phenergan, and morphine together on tolerant patients to knock them out and make them shut up. I was a patient...
  15. Inhumane Treatments

    Yeah, because no nurse has ever been
  16. Could not stand being a nurse most days. Some days are great though when you make a nice catch or help with a cool procedure. We recert every 2 years by obtaining the appropriate CEU hours. No test....
  17. Fluids vs Pressors?

    1) that NS can cause non anion gap acidosis 2) crystalloids only stay immune plasma for about 30 mins and then come back 3 days later to bite you in the ass. What exactly was the BP? This guy just had...
  18. CRNA Doctorate in 2015 or 2025?

    2025, and I'm skeptical that it will come to
  19. Why are so many Doctors hostile towards the DNP?

    It is a personal choice and it should remain so. I should be able to decide, for myself, if I want to do clinical work or research. I'm all for more education, but why not add more sciences and...
  20. I think all types of ICUs are equally good in their own way, but If I had to rank them it would be CVICU, SICU, CCU, Trauma ICU, MICU. The order being based only on their helpfulness when studying...
  21. online BSN acceptable for NP admission??

    No, they won't care. Well, maybe some really rare ones care, but not enough to keep you from getting in
  22. Does where you go to school really impt?

    No one cares. It only matters to you because of how good of an education you get. If a certain school doesn't teach a needed skill then you won't be very
  23. What ages can an ACNP see?

    It was my understanding when I was in acnp that I could only see above 16 or 18 (can't quite remember), but I do think this varies with laws, which would explain why my program trained me with the...
  24. Time to apply to CRNA school?

    No, you can't apply in advance. 1. Get ICU job 2. Take GRE 3. While you wait for experience to accrue, get certifications like CCRN and take Grad courses to beef up that resume 4. Apply after at least...
  25. which first? fnp or cnm?

    I would do FNP first so that you have a better chance of finding a job while you get the
