    mrmedical replied to CelRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well, got an email last week and I got in the palm Beach cohort of

  2. Barry University SCRNA 2021

    mrmedical replied to CelRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey All, It’s been years since I last posed on this site. I applied to Barry for the 2024 cohort, first pick West Palm and second pick South Florida. Had interview on Friday the 26th, felt it went...

  3. A Call to Action from the Nation's Nurses in the Wake of Newtown

    mrmedical replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    TBQH the only reason this event blew up and got big press because a lot of kids died. Thousands of kids die every day in ways more violent and prolonged. The only reason the populace cares is because...

  4. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    mrmedical replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    I work 3 nights a week (granted 50% of the time I dread working) and pull 50k+ a year. Not too bad for being able to get in with only a two year degree, feeding patients meds, buttwiping, charting,...

  5. Going for a MD program from FNP

    mrmedical replied to mahaandai's topic in Advanced Practice

    As far as schools are concerned look for a DO school or MD school in the US. Residency spots are tight right now, and with many more FMG (foreign medical grads) who generally have a better education...

  6. NP vs MD and other discussions...

    mrmedical replied to ivyleaf's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm kind of in the same spot you are. Been working the floor for a couple seasons now, and it's not enjoyable at all and I never feel at ease or comfortable. I mean I could do nursing in my sleep, but...

  7. Student Nurse = Medical Assistant??

    mrmedical replied to Michaela, RN's topic in General Students

    I think MA's have a certifying or diploma to recognize competency. While many of the skills overlap, MA's have been bred to meet specific criteria for doctor's offices. They do some skills that...

  8. A question for NP's - What if our school preceptorship isn't so great?

    mrmedical replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can't you moonlight somewhere as a shadow or in a non-program affiliated fashion. At least you would get the experienc and exposure, and I'd wager that would count for so much more. I'd be time...

  9. Value of the DNP: Worth it or not?

    mrmedical replied to Cauliflower's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Hey Cauliflower, I've only an RN now but have been considering advanced practice in the future. Realize that at this point the DNP merely a suggestion by the AACN and is not the requirement for entry...

  10. Online BSN - Is it taken seriously?

    mrmedical replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    In my observations, state schools and reknown nursing schools that offer online RN-BSN curriculum are seen by my coworkers and the general hospital environment as equivalent in status as the same...

  11. Military Nursing Schools

    mrmedical posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hi all, Long time reader, first time poster on this board. Apologize in advance for redundant questions. A little hx about myself: 23y/o M with ASN, working on my BSN with 1.5 semesters remaining. I...

  12. Military Nursing Schools

    mrmedical replied to mrmedical's topic in Government, Military

    Bump. Yeah, both certs I'm definitely going to be pursing in the near future (or at least when I aggregate enough

  13. Intramuscular injection technique tips

    mrmedical replied to dedicate's topic in Patient Medications

    I just got my HepB updated an Tdap in my R and L arms and the lady who did mine was awesome. I made sure my muscles were relaxed, and she darted me and injected the vaccine. Could hardly feel it. Less...

  14. Nursing positions deeply embedded in science

    mrmedical replied to DGabe24's topic in General Nursing

    Just my opinion, OP, as I feel that I was once in that same boat. Have you considered PA school? It quite more scientifically oriented compared to nursing and is a masters level preparation. Bedside...

  15. RT vs RN schooling

    mrmedical replied to mttzakr87's topic in General Nursing

    Just something to consider, it's getting as hard if not harder to get respiratory therapist jobs than it is a nursing job. Especially that hospitals hire so few in comparison to

  16. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    mrmedical replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    Very true! When I was in school and the post-grad reps came in EVERYONE raised their hand that they wanted to do ARNP. It didn't help that faculty told every student to go get MSN/DNP prepared (even...

  17. Is It Just Me?

    mrmedical replied to Mijourney's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of instructors are egging grads and current nursing students to pursue their masters and doctorates probably to rack up $$$ for the nursing college while suggesting things nursing leadership and...

  18. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    mrmedical replied to Burlshoe114's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Here's a couple of things that someone posted a long time ago that hit home on why a lot of places are so messed up, and I'd have to agree with them: Hospitals with hunger for money over patient care....

  19. FAU's RN to BSN, do I ACTUALLY need to buy their books?

    mrmedical posted a topic in Florida Nursing

    Since most of the course work is light "research" and APA papers I'm assuming I can get by fairly easy by non purchasing 700$ worth of text that I will never read. Unless I'm mistaken. Any

  20. Priceless FNP clinical resources

    mrmedical replied to natyloo's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    ^^^ Those are good, especially tarascon and the sanford guide is practically the bible for abx as far as i know. Here are some others: Tarascon Primary Care Pocketbook, Third Edition Maxwell Quick...

  21. Is a nurse in the ER joking to a patient like this appropriate?!?

    mrmedical replied to Laurenslovely's topic in Emergency

    No, nurses must be strait-faced robots and not attempt to build any rapport or do anything that may suggest normal human interaction. Oh, and IVs will only produce maybe 1 or 2 gtts of blood for...

  22. Surprise!?!?!!

    mrmedical replied to TX.RN.Shannon's topic in Nursing Humor

    Shampoo bottle in rectum that they "fell on" in the shower. Seriously, if I had a dollar for every FO that pt's "accidentally" fell on I'd be

  23. Is becoming a Nurse hard?

    mrmedical replied to NA NA's topic in General Nursing

    Just my 2c, but you can't think of nursing school, even the two year degree's, as a get rich quick scheme or even for job security. It's a commonly perpetuate myth that nurses are somehow always...

  24. Nurse Practitioner Autonomy

    mrmedical replied to Cardiomegaly's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    It varies state to state, but from what I gathered midlevels in general function as a kind of "permanent resident" as far as those not in independent practice are

  25. Any male school RNs?

    mrmedical posted a topic in School

    Just curious and if so how is the patient/family response. Do they feel comfortable with a male RN seeing their children (just cause of stigma, ect...) I'm interested in possibly picking up a couple...
