    Neo/Levo

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to LNRN11's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Uhhh, thats like alpha overload. If a doc wanted to give that, he can come to the unit and titrate it himself. No F-ing

    Working during RN-BSN program?

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Jack C's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not to discourage but you still have a realllllly long way to go. I'd focus on getting thru high school and getting accepting to a nursing school and passing your boards in like 6 years. You still got...

    Accepted with NICU exp. rather ICU?

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to brazooke's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I had 3 people in my class who were NICU/Peds ICU RNs, and one who was an ECMO/NICU RN. 2 of them are still in the class. But i think at the end of this semester it will be down to only 1. It can be...

    GRE scores

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to icu_rn88's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Isn't downstate the only place in NY that doesn't require them? When I was applying last year, they still did not have their accreditation back yet, which is why I obviously didn't go there. I think...

    ECMO

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to aerorunner80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I used to run ECMO all the time, in fact I'd come into work and ask for an ECMO PTs we had on the floor. I had a very good knowledge of ECMO. Being in CRNA school now, I honestly don't think there is...

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Whoatemyburger's topic in New York Nursing

    So basically it took me a long time. I just kept firing off applications until they got sick of seeing my name. I finally got called by taken acquisition and then did 15 min phone interview, then the...

    Difference between AAS degree in a CC and a 4 year college nursing degree

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to xhelenaaax's topic in New York Nursing

    - It is location dependent. I worked outside the city and worked with ADNs and BSNs. However, most of the hospitals in NYC will not look at you without a BSN, and unfortunately the trend is moving out...

    Tough love - Sorry This is where you have to grow up and be an adult. You failed, for whatever reason it maybe. Regardless, you're going to have to accept it as your own fault, and stop making...

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Whoatemyburger's topic in New York Nursing

    The nurse battery test is one of those tests where you're supposed to pick the politically correct answer. As for the pharm test, it is pretty hard. While I was doing some of my critical care training...

    NYP vs VA medical center ?????

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Srprn's topic in New York Nursing

    As a new grad, if you have a job I'd stay there until you have the experience to be a good applicant to try to NYP. NYC is flooded with new grads and yore lucky to have a job, as there are many other...

    Would like some advice about a future in Cath Lab

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to tonytorres717's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I'm pretty sure you definitely need other experience before going to the cath lab. If you're unable to get into ICU right out of school then it looks like you'll have to do your year in med surge and...

    GRE scores

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to icu_rn88's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    GREs are not an adequate predictor of ones success in graduate school. There are a bunch of schools that done even require them as their predictive value sucks. All of the schools I've talked to have...

    Old/New Grad seeking ICU Internship (HELP)

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to thisdoll's topic in MICU, SICU

    Maybe you should stop aiming for ICU and just take whatever you can get. I mean getting into a hospital is half the battle. I mean if you want it bad enough a year of Med/surg really isn't that long...

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to francoml's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
