I am trying to decide weather I should become a CRNA or anesthesiologist. Can anyone help with the pro's and con's of each What do CRNA do that is different than a anesthesiologist? What can a anesthesiologist do that a CRNA can't? Any other informa...

Hello all! I have a simple question hopefully someone can answer. I would like to work in neonatal ICU for my required experience, does anyone know if this will count for my required experience? Thanks in advance!

First I have never heard of volunteer hours, it must be a california thing. How hard english is, depends on the professor teaching. I had a very easy time in my english course. Most of the people I talk to at other colleges say that freshman english ...

I have made my decision on this whole deal, I have talked to a few MD anesthesiologist and 2 CRNAs. I am a people person, and from what the MDs have told me nurses and MDs look at a patient. Accord to the MDs they focus more on the illness while nurs...

I am just curious, I know most hospitals are not hiring nurses right now, but in the future, how hard is it to get a job in the ICU as a new graduate?

Someone brought up a point in a thread about the possibility of health care salaries going DOWN if the new health care reform is passed......Has anyone heard of this??? In my opinion nurses don't get paid enough as it is, even nursing specialities d...

WoW where is this at??? The hospitals here in Charlotte don't seem to be affected by the economy, I have even heard plans of a new hosiptal being built

I think that doctors/nurses will be over worked (wayy more than they already are) and request more pay, and the hospitals refuse to give more pay, so they leave. Leaving us in a bigger shortages, longer wait times, more and more over worked -under pa...

Interesting point. i agree wasteful spending needs to be gone. But this new plan should put the care givers out in the cold, because that will drive people and doctors away from hospitals and stuff, and into private practice

I know they will defer payments, but making the monthly payment is the issue, having a lower than expected salary isn't a good reason the not make the monthly payments:bugeyes:

Private school, 1/2 scholarship, 1/4 room and board scholarship, 35,000 in parents plus loan, 34,500 in federal loans, 6,000 in nursing loans. (for BSN)

Your comments are very helpful!!! How hard is it for a RN to get into ICU (in northeast if that makes a difference), as a new graduate?

good luck!!!!

you are probably going to be soo tired that your grades are going to be a lot lower than you think they will be. I have a friend in a easy major (business) and is working as a cna on night shift 4 days a week. Its horrible and she is extremely smart,...

Studyyy!!! call in to work! education is more important!

Being a nurse DOES NOT HELP GET YOU INTO MED SCHOOL!!!!!!! This is what a Medical School administrator said to me: 1) adcoms don't consider nursing to be a hard major. Actually it is considered easy. Chemical engineering is considered hard. 2) look a...

No, and i have talked to medical administration and they think nursing is A EASY major. The things nurses study and med students studies are nothing alike! The stuff nurses know, isn't going to help all that much (if any) go pre-med if your thinking ...

I would rather die than be in some type of sitiuation where I can't do anything for myself. I hae told everyone I know (so that there are no confusion on my wishes) to pull the plug if chances are less that 50/50 and after 1 year, pull it. Death does...

Kindly say that you are here to help them and its not important what your religious beliefs are. You really want to advoid this at all cost! Its a very very touchy thing with patients. My family always told me to say the following "I'm sorry, Its aga...

You do not need to retake the CNA test AS LONG AS: your cna license is current and in good standing in your current cna license state. North Carolina is the only state in the us where you have to retake the CNA test. If there is a fee, its usually s...

I am wondering how many nurses would like to be a doctor, and why? I am trying to help one of my best friends decide either nursing or pre-med, (or maybe both) And I would like to get some actual nurses opinions -If you had the chance would you becom...

I have looked at getting it and plan on it, you can get mal-practice insurance CHEAP, and just so you know MOST colleges malpractice insurance only covers you while your at your college, once you graduate and someone decides to name you on a suit, yo...

I dont know too much about visas, but maybe you can talk to your human resource manager about pursuing nursing as your career WITH THAT HOSPITAL and see if they will still file a H1-B visa, it doesn't hurt to ask. Im sorry that I couldn't be much hel...

Go to your board of nursing dean or someone in that area, explain what happened, and tell them exactly what she said. If she does fail you, you have a back up, and the board can reverse your grade through a grade audit. You were NOT a student when th...
