  1. Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

    Shanimal replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

    I'm not surprised you've resorted to personal attacks. I'll keep an eye out for your own thread about sexual harassment of male nurses. Have a nice

  2. Sexually harassed during clinicals by a male nurse

    Shanimal replied to mariawong86's topic in General Students

    Yeah, and good for her. You say this as if it's a bad thing. Except that's NOT what this post was about, so stop trying to minimize what happened to the OP like it's not a big deal just because...

  3. 2.9 GPA Help me get into CRNA school

    Shanimal replied to futurecrnasla's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Need a few more details on this one. You mention your "first degree"--was this in nursing or something else? How long ago was it? How does your GPA since your first degree measure up? What is your...

  4. DNAP vs DNP With a Specialization in Anesthesia

    Shanimal replied to Carterjcr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    DNAP vs. DNP in anesthesia degrees creates a lot of confusion. Both are terminal degrees for CRNAs, and soon having one or the other will be the entry-to-practice requirement. The actual difference...

  5. DNAP vs DNP With a Specialization in Anesthesia

    Shanimal replied to Carterjcr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Incorrect. Both the DNP and DNAP are considered terminal degrees. Having one vs. the other as a CRNA does not affect one's prospects for teaching in a nurse anesthesia program. Both would be...

  6. CRNA School with a young family

    Shanimal replied to ECRNICU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm going through school now as a mom to toddlers. The amount of free time you have at any given point depends on how the program is structured. In my first two semesters I was able to continue...

  7. Least "demanding" nursing Jobs?

    Shanimal replied to carti's topic in General Students

    I have nothing helpful to offer other than to say, "Good luck with med

  8. Staff in ED/ICU

    Shanimal replied to A_RN's topic in Critical Care

    I once worked in a facility like this. When I attempted, along with my nursing and physician colleagues, to provide evidence to administration why severe nursing staff shortages were unsafe in...

  9. Do SRNA/CRNAs have to participate in elective abortions and sterilizations?

    Shanimal replied to udmgraduate's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The climate of medicine is certainly NOT more liberal. As noted above, intolerance is a completely different issue. The more recent cases that I believe you're referring to (i.e., a medical...

  10. Not sure CRNA is for me

    Shanimal replied to Sleepygirl09's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Agreed. Or they work in toxic environments they either can't or won't

  11. Central Line Placement and Masks

    Shanimal replied to applesxoranges's topic in Emergency

    In the ERs I worked in, yes this was a policy. When there were emergencies in which every second counted however, not everyone who needed to be at the bedside could be properly masked up in time....

  12. CCRN...STUDY PLAN?

    Shanimal replied to Mclarenrn17's topic in Critical Care

    To sit for the CCRN exam, you need to have spent 1750 hours providing direct care of acutely ill/critically ill patients within the past two years, and at least 875 of those hours accrued need to be...

  13. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA

    Shanimal replied to mgfam's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just my opinion, but I don't think the co-presence of an anesthesia residency and a nurse anesthesia program at the same institution is necessarily a bad thing, as long as the nurse anesthesia...

  14. Need advice on picking best RN to BSN online program

    Shanimal replied to chrisRN180's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You might also want to consider researching the graduate degree programs you would potentially apply to later on. Most program websites will include fairly detailed information on what is required...

  15. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA

    Shanimal replied to mgfam's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ^Haha sorry for the multiple edits in my above post. Not sure if it was something with this site, my connection, or whatever else, but my comment kept posting before I had a chance to look it over...

  16. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA

    Shanimal replied to mgfam's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ah, OK, thanks for the link. From your initial post I thought you were implying that Johns Hopkins currently has an entry-to-practice nurse anesthesia program. Now that I see the job posting, my...

  17. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA

    Shanimal replied to mgfam's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think you've been misinformed or simply misunderstood something you've heard. Johns Hopkins does indeed have DNP programs, but not an entry-to-practice nurse anesthesia program. Their hospital is...

  18. ADN to MSN FNP

    Shanimal replied to power ranger's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Whether that matters or not depends on two things. First, some ADN to MSN programs award a BSN along the way, others do not. Second, some DNP programs require a BSN, although most recognize MSNs for...

  19. Pre-CRNA course offered at BARRY

    Shanimal replied to tachymurse123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yikes. I just looked at the course description. There's no WAY I'd pay that kind of money for what it offers. Especially because it doesn't count towards any degree requirement. It's advertised as...

  20. Tube Feeding And Hemodialysis

    Shanimal replied to Chisca's topic in MICU, SICU

    I've never heard of any blanket protocol that recommends holding tube feedings during dialysis in ICU settings (and I'm here in the US), nor can I identify generalized recommendations for such in the...

  21. CRRT

    Shanimal replied to Emily ICU's topic in Critical Care

    Hard to know based on this information alone, but things that I would immediately suspect: the patient fluid removal rate has been on the low side for an extended period of time and/or the patient is...

  22. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    Shanimal replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Dude, I actually said nothing of the sort. Like Jules extrapolated the findings of the research he/she posted links to, you're extrapolating waaaaaaay beyond anything I posted. On the contrary, I...

  23. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    Shanimal replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm sorry, but I didn't bother going past the first link. An abstract about patient referrals is supposed to be high-quality evidence that supports physician-led care has better outcomes than...

  24. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    Shanimal replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    OK, but neither of you answered my question. Can you provide links to the high-quality research you're referring to that disputes anything I said? I'm seriously not trying to be facetious. I'd like...

  25. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    Shanimal replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Interesting opinion. Would you be able to link to some research that supports this? I ask this because the only well-validated research I've found consistently indicates that the quality of patient...
