    RNYC replied to HeroOfNone's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong patient phone numbers trip up ER docs - Health care- msnbc.com I am in nursing school, 7 months left graduate this year...as an aspiring ER nurse this makes me think the ER could be a rather...

  5. Increase admission chances: Direct entry CNL

    RNYC replied to Meg11's topic in General Nursing

    BSN 1.5 yrs or less, and your idea 3 yrs for CNL, plus additional 2-3yrs on top of that even for Mental Health NP. So 5-6yrs of school with your idea vs 3-4 if you just start with BSN. BTW a lot of...

  8. RN salaries In Tampa, FL??

    RNYC replied to Student_Michelle's topic in General Nursing

    California is very tight. Once RNs gain hospital employment they pretty much go nowhere for 30 yrs lol....pay is too good. I talked to a woman who worked 36hr weeks and made 85K on a regular med/surg...

  11. RN salaries In Tampa, FL??

    RNYC replied to Student_Michelle's topic in General Nursing

    I am in NY...your better off in Florida. The cost of living here is actually slightly above what they pay nurses in my opinion. California is like fly paper because the pay is silly good, but that...

  12. CRNA Vs. MD

    RNYC replied to Amir's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    you would have to go to nursing school, graduate, acquire BSN, then work at least 2-4 yrs (realistically) as a RN and acquire ICU experience as a bedside nurse. Then, the process can be (not as hard...

  13. Which is best for CRNA?

    RNYC replied to talknw's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thats insane - what is your motivation for this? Thats like 4-5 additional yrs after a BSN which is already 4 years!...I'd focus on critical care and CCRN cert, and ACLS. You will be better served...

  14. Online/Distance Learning CRNA Programs???

    RNYC replied to robbnp22's topic in General Nursing

    RNYC replied to starmickey03's topic in General Nursing

    If its the two schools I am thinking of in this format, I looked at them and passed on even applying. They tailor the programs to people who are working and one of them didnt even have any major...

  18. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    RNYC replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, captain obvious? I have a job lined up already - 2-3 actually. They all were opportunities I would not have qualified for without a BSN. There is no shade of grey here - I would be disqualified...

  19. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    RNYC replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your point is moot. I know personally, many nurse managers at teaching hospitals. If an ADN goes to the bottom of the resume pile due to organization initiatives and HR direction - nothing to do with...

  20. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    RNYC replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    BSN will be the minimum level of entry in the major metro areas...not sure if this will happen in outlying

  21. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    RNYC replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    In this economy, I am curious as to what major metropolitan possibly favors a ADN to a BSN. Its not that one is superior to another, but hiring managers can afford to say "BSNs only" right now. This...

  22. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    RNYC replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    Awesome...but in major metro areas waiting lists are extremely long. I knew one that was 4 yrs long...and it was in a major city. So wait four yrs, then 2 yrs? 6 yrs for an ADN? Going into outlying...

  23. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    RNYC replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you 1000%...waitlists for 5 years? lets say even that guy with 160k in loans didnt work 5 years and went to comm college with zero loans. Project a nurses salary conservatively with...

  24. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    RNYC replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    The Army, Navy, and Air Force (if you qualify) can take care of big loans, and train you very well. Not for everyone

  25. Student loans...how much do you owe?

    RNYC replied to LETRN's topic in General Nursing

    Love the people getting ADNs and looking down upon the people who spend 50-60k...everyone has their own plan kids. Remember public and comm colleges have MAJOR waitlists these days. Private gets the...
