  1. Nursing school is too easy!

    Maghunter posted a topic in General Students

    I know I shouldn't be upset about this, but I really think our school is trying hard to NOT have anyone fail out. This last term was really bad. Basically we had a review before the tests...and the...

  2. Transfer credits into CRNA school.

    Maghunter posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got my ADN from a school that is nationally accredited. Nationally accredited is not as good as regionally accredited. State school/universities are regionally accredited. I am now in the process...

  3. Nurse/patient ratio in ICU...what is yours?

    Maghunter replied to nitronymph's topic in MICU, SICU

    I work in a large mixed ICU. We NEVER have 3:1. That's just crazy. The charge nurses do a really good job of mixing one vent with a non-vent pt most of the time. Heart pt are 1:1, as are very...

  4. How do you measure temperatures?

    Maghunter replied to EMSnut45's topic in MICU, SICU

    I was a CNA before starting in the ICU a month ago. I've taken a lot of temps. In my experience ALL the noninvasive temp methods... axillary, oral, tympanic, temporal...have drawbacks and can give...

  5. Got job offer in ICU!!!

    Maghunter posted a topic in MICU, SICU

    Holy crap!!!!! I work as a CNA in the neuro/trauma unit while going to school. A few weeks back they let me know that they have no open positions on my floor. I graduate March 1st...or this...

  6. I took the NCLEX!!!

    Maghunter posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Graduated March 1st, and did not want to wait long to take the test. Ended up scheduling the test in another state because there was NO test openings anywhere closer. Me and a classmate made the...

  7. Getting into CRNA School w/ Online ADN to BSN

    Maghunter replied to robert1083's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am also thinking of CRNA in the future, and the question of where to get my RN to BSN is still a mystery. Where did you get your online BSN? And which accreditation do I need to make sure to get my...

  8. Who has used ATI for NCLEX prep?

    Maghunter posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My school is using ATI to prep us all for the NCLEX. Have any of you out there taken the ATI predictor test? If so, how well did the use of ATI help you pass the NCLEX? Everyone I talk to says to...

  9. I passed with 18 Select all that apply!

    Maghunter replied to DisneybearRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Holy crap, you guys are freaking me out with all these SATA stories? I HATE those questions. I take the test in about 2 months. What is the best way to prepare for the

  10. Nursing school is too easy!

    Maghunter replied to Maghunter's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all the feedback. Let me shed some further light. The program is accelerated AASN program. I just started term five out of six. I know that my post is somewhat whiny, and that's OK. I...

  11. RN jobs in Denver area hospitals

    Maghunter posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Just wanted to let you all know that jobs here are getting VERY hard to come by. I'm still in school and will graduate in March 2011. I just spoke to a friend who graduated 3 months ago and he said...

    Maghunter replied to Maghunter's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm going to Concorde in Aurora. Pretty good school, and so far I'm really happy with the RN

  13. How did you afford to get through CRNA school?

    Maghunter replied to Hartley's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree that if you wait for the perfect time to have kids then you may never find the perfect time. I am in nursing school now with 3 kids and a 4th (surprise!) is due in two months. On top of this...

  14. Western Univeristy Transfer Credits BSN to CRNA

    Maghunter replied to newbetonursing's topic in International Nursing

    Part of the problem I think newbetonursing is talking about is the fact that WGU does not issue grades like other colleges. Instead they are a competency based school, so once you demonstrate you...

  15. Western Governor's university BSN & Southern California University of Health Sciences

    Maghunter replied to LosAngelesLVNRN's topic in Western Governors University

    I will be finishing my AASN degree in March 2011, and am also looking at WGU for my RN-BSN. Here are a few questions I have. - I am currently getting a 4.0, and plan to keep that through AASN...

  16. Did anyone who is a new grad get a hospital job?

    Maghunter replied to lion09's topic in General Nursing

    I am only in my second semester, and have 1 year left to go (accelerated program). I was a CNA years ago and got certified here the same month I started school. About 1 month ago I got a job at one...

  17. What is it REALLY like for new grads right now?

    Maghunter replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado Nursing

    There is no doubt going to be a reality shock for many new grad RN's here in Denver area. Mostly for those who do not have any experience other than school clinicals. However, there ARE jobs out...

  18. What is it REALLY like for new grads right now?

    Maghunter replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado Nursing

    TristanT, so when you say you're not making $25hr, are you making more or less? Just curious as to what I can expect in a

  19. What is it REALLY like for new grads right now?

    Maghunter replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado Nursing

    You should check out Concorde as there is no wait list. You take a NET test and depending on how well you do on the math section determines how high up the list you go. I started school 2 months...

  20. What's the deal with Platt College in Aurora?

    Maghunter replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am currently going to Concorde in Aurora. You can get accepted there pretty quick as long as you score high enough on the NET test (the math part). It is expensive, but it's also VERY fast. So...

  21. If you don't mind...

    Maghunter replied to cupcake231's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Math score on the NET test was #1 factor getting in. I'm in the middle of first term finals right now and me and a few others are getting 4.0. Next term may be very different,

  22. Should I work with such a crazy schedule?

    Maghunter posted a topic in General Students

    We just got our schedule for next term and it is looking very hard. Basically we have two clinical Monday and Tuesday, then school from 8am-5:30pm Wed and Thurs, and Friday goes from 8am to 2:30....

  23. 700 pages of reading, per week, for one class

    Maghunter replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    That is sooooooo funny, because I am very ADHD as well. So with that in mind, let me share with you a few other things I do to help me get through the struggles of school. Meds: I recommend you go...

  24. 700 pages of reading, per week, for one class

    Maghunter replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Students

    I never read the book...never. I do read the important parts and do all the homework. I also often make my own flash cards of the important points or key terms...but I hardly ever just sit down and...

  25. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Maghunter replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    The main thing the look at for the entrance exam is the math score. My advice is to do all the online practice exams, but don't just do the problems. Instead make sure you fully understand the math...
