    Renee' Y-Y replied to AccelBSN04's topic in General Nursing

  4. Two newB questions

    Renee' Y-Y replied to user69's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would not bring up the PhD or the title of "doctor" if you are performing as a nurse anesthetist. Patients are confused enough as it is & it would definitely be an ethical/legal blunder on your...

  5. Why get an MSN?

    Renee' Y-Y replied to Mr_D's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am an MSN. I have been considered for jobs that I wouldn't have without the MSN. The other issue is what do you want to do with your MSN: Education, Nurse Practitioner, CRNA. I'm in education...

  9. What would you look for in a nursing instructor?

    Renee' Y-Y replied to orrnlori's topic in General Nursing

    The only thing I have to add is be prepared for the pretentiousness of many PhD nursing professors. They look at MSN's as second-class citizens...but of course we MSN's look at them as pretentious...

  10. adn vs bsn

    Renee' Y-Y replied to lab2004's topic in Nursing Career

  14. Bummed RN

    Renee' Y-Y replied to lynn27's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In this day & age with the shortage of nurses & hospitals tripping over themselves to get them & keep them, I don't think any nurse doing any specialty should have to be miserable or feel...

    We use the Genzyme Pleur-evac system. The level of the water in the suction control chamber is what regulates the amount of suction. It has to be checked for evaporation every day or so to make sure...
