  1. Retake sciences, take grad courses or both?

    I_See_You_RN replied to TxNurseRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would suggest taking graduate courses. For the most part you have to learn over everything you learned in undergrad, but now, you need to obtain a deeper understanding. Why take over classes to...

  2. Do I have a Chance? IF not, how can I give myself one?

    I_See_You_RN replied to rndreamscrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So here is my honest opinion. This is not a hate message or one aimed at discouraging you. I believe that anyone is capable of doing anything with the right amount of preparation and dedication....

  3. Not even two weeks on new job

    I_See_You_RN replied to MollNick's topic in MICU, SICU

    I would put her in her place. If i was busy stabilizing a critical patient certainly don't hand me the phone unless there is someone on the other end giving me orders...not asking me superfluous...

  4. "Capped Care" in the ICU

    I_See_You_RN replied to micker14's topic in MICU, SICU

    "Capped" I've had pressors capped before hitting max dose,.. no more blood products, no compressions, pain/anxiety medications only. I've always found it humorous (for lack of a better word) when I'm...

  5. Magnet status? Hospitals choosing BSN new grads. Important!!!! over ADN??

    I_See_You_RN replied to mirc88sl's topic in General Nursing

    I say find a different BSN nursing school. Your goal in the next 5 years will be to become a proficient/spectacular RN,.. not spectacular former TCU student. You need a school that will support you...

  6. Need advice on which career path to take.

    I_See_You_RN replied to Amy3901's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes the council does say acute and does include ER as an example but that does NOT reflect what most schools,.. I would bet to argue 99.9% of schools want... and therefore that clause is meaningless....

  7. "Capped Care" in the ICU

    I_See_You_RN replied to micker14's topic in MICU, SICU

    No we don't have that in my ICU. I work in the SICU and I get very few capped care orders. Its usually treat, treat, treat and if nothing works they either expire very quickly on max doses of...

  8. Did anyone apply to U penn 1st review deadline

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey guys. Did any of you apply to U Penn for their first review deadline, April 1st. I just heard about the deadline so it was a mad rush to get everything in. I am still waiting for one acceptance...

  9. Did anyone apply to U penn 1st review deadline

    I_See_You_RN replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    no one applied? and in the above I meant "recommendation letter", not acceptance,

  10. Best type of experience?

    I_See_You_RN replied to seamang2's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If when you say trauma you are referring to a Surgical-Trauma ICU then that is a good choice. If when you say cardiac hospital you are referring to Cardio-Thoracic-ICU then that is also a good...

  11. Letters of Recommendation for CRNA Applications

    I_See_You_RN replied to ljmb's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not sure if things were different in 2008, but as of 2011 almost all programs specify who they would like a recommendation from and about 85% of them require a MD. I think the reasoning is that a...

  12. Liberty University Online question

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Has anyone ever taken the Adv. Pharm or Adv. Patho class at Liberty University Online. They are regionally accredited. Does anyone have any comments on the course structure?... class difficulty?......

  13. Help! Cardiac Medicine Certification

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    Hi Everyone! I just passed my CCRN today :yeah:and I guess now I'm ready to sit another test: the Cardiac Medicine Certification. Has anyone here taken the test? If so what what did you use to...

  14. North Shore -LIJ critical care fellowship

    I_See_You_RN replied to aroze's topic in New York Nursing

    Go to NSLIJ website and look up the email address of *********. She is the one who does the first round of interviews for the program. Send a message stating your interest in the program and ask how...

  15. Why all the dislike for young nurses who already know they want to be a CRNA

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I see this theme on this site over and over again, and I really don't understand it. The only reason that I can think of is that some of the people who already made it would like to think of...

  16. Advice for those new RNs looking for jobs

    I_See_You_RN replied to himilayaneyes's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Write your own reference letter and have your instructor sign it??!! Wow! That would be a horrendous practice.... how about actually earning the respect and compliments from your instructors....

  17. Why all the dislike for young nurses who already know they want to be a CRNA

    I_See_You_RN replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I do see what many of you are saying and I completely agree with most of your points. I only raise this question because I often see ICU nurses as myself who have done the research get "barked" on...

  18. Kaplan, Saunders, Hurst??? What/which/how should I do this?

    I_See_You_RN replied to o2BRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think I liked the saunders. the huge book of just questions and answers. they really get you into test mode and the explanations for the questions is all you need. I think their other one that...

  19. Any problems transferring credits from an online school?

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi guys. I wanted to know from the people who already made it (since the admissions offices refuse to pick up their phones) . Did anyone who took online courses prior to admission have any problems...

  20. Nclex Aug. 20 have questions

    I_See_You_RN replied to BeOne77's topic in General Nursing

    My test, for the most part wasn't like that. It really wasn't trying to trick to you. It was more like "can you recognize what's going on, and can you figure out what is more important". Also,...

  21. What type of a chance do I have of acceptance? :)

    I_See_You_RN replied to Mike32110's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    From my understanding there is a large portion of schools that don't even look at GPA's below 3.0 because the applicant pool is filled with much higher GPA's. I'd suggest taking over some of the...

  22. What are some unique, non-acute RN jobs?

    I_See_You_RN replied to mochamocha's topic in General Nursing

    I heard you can make big bucks working for Medicare. Your job is to visit patients who are eligible for medicare and basically explain to them their benefits and help them fill out the applications....

  23. New Grad needs info on St. Francis Hospital in LI

    I_See_You_RN replied to ObscuredDream05's topic in New York Nursing

    my friend got a job there and she absolutely hates it. She said the staff are unsupportive, if something goes wrong the seniors like to throw you under the bus. But a job is a job. If that is ur...

  24. Liberty University Online classes

    I_See_You_RN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Has anyone taken online classes at Liberty University? More specifically their adv. patho or adv. pharm classes? Is this institution and their online program respectable? Is it possible to take...

  25. RN's, in your opinion, did coming out of school with a BSN really prepare you...

    I_See_You_RN replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    I started working nights in an ICU and my BSN definitely helped me. I believe its all about what you put into it. When u do ur clinical rotations don't just be an observer. During my rotations I...
