    Hello, I am about to finish my BSN and am thinking of going to become a CRNA. I heard the program is very hard to get into, but I really love anethesia. Any advice? Is it worth it? and what are the chances of getting accepted into a program like that...

  5. Question on lab. Test

    OMG>............Really dude? This is not someone wanting a homework answer. They are just curious and wanting to learn why. You being in the medical profession of all people should know what it is like to want to learn. I know I ask all kinds of q...
  6. I have a hunch about a patient and I cannot prove it!

    That is not true, 5 of my family members are in law enforcement. If they bring the dogs, and the dogs smell the drugs, they can go in right then and there. Thats just like schools now a day. If a student is reported on having drugs, they do not let t...
  7. Co-Worker not smelling so good

    You know, my fiance had a horrible odor coming from him off and on for a year! I never wanted to say anything, but he is one of the cleanest people ever! After a year I let him know he smelled gross and he preceeded to tell me he had an infected toot...

    Yeah I would have to say he ordered the wbc for the patients immune system to see if it is working correctly, and the lytes for his urine to see if maybe he is in kidney problems or bacteria is messing him up.

  10. Chamberlain Summer/Fall?

    I applied and tested the beginning of Feb and a week later they called me and told me I was accepted for summer. As of March 1st, summer was full and as of last week, Falls capacity is almost met. Good Luck.
  11. What makes CRNA's unique?

    Ummm.yea nobody can jump straight into CRNA right out of RN school. First , 99 percent of CRNA schools require a BSN. You must obtain above a 3.5 or most will not even consider a person. You have to interview with the board of the school you are wish...
  12. lazy cnas

    Coming from another CNA point of view, did your CNA simply say " hold on a sec so i can finish giving the patients there drinks?" Or " I am too busy I will do it later" there is a huge difference. Drinks take less than 5 mins depending on how many pa...
  13. Telling relatives the patient has died

    I see everybodys points on this thread. I do see the professional point of needing to say DIED for the sake of not sugar coating. I guess I just think of all the things that have been said to me when I have lost someone and I dont take it well. For i...
  14. Chamberlain Nursing

    ROSAVOYLES, Yes, I made the summer round starting July 5th, but some of my coworkers at the hospital tested a week after I did and they made the October class because it is all booked. Administration told one of my friends yesterday that October i...
  15. Telling relatives the patient has died

    I think it is very disrespectful to say the word DIED... it is a euphamism that we as nurses are told to avoid! That is why we used sugar coated words such at passed away and expired. Families take them alot less personal. Just saying he she it DIED...
  16. Telling relatives the patient has died

    I too miscarried last year actually. My mother has horrible fertility issues and has caused her tons of heartache over the years. ( I am sure any woman on here who has fertility issues knows what I am talking about.) Well last Feb, my fiance and I fo...
  17. Telling relatives the patient has died

    Ya know, I do not support what the doctor said WHAT SO EVER. It was very heartless. But I know Critical Care doctors see that happen every day so they are made to become numb to the situation more than less. Of course he should have worded it all dif...
  18. You know you're in nursing school when....

    ............When your teacher is going over pressure points and bed sores from sitting in one spot too long, and then shows a movie and tells you to try to sit still for just 15 mins and you move continuously because you are thinking of all of your p...

    Chamberlain Stl. is all booked up for summer. The next session is in October.
  20. So, what happened to all the nursing jobs?

    I think now ( i have witnessed at my hospital) Hospitals mostly only hire people with ties , or who have been working at the hospital for a while in a diff area. I do not see alot of new nurses comming on , but rather CNAS and TECHS graduating with t...
  21. Ya know, I do not know were she went, but we have a deaf nurse working on telemetry and let me just tell you, she is the most kind hearted dedicated woman I have ever met. I have also worked in the lab with a deaf Med tech while I was a phlebotomist....

  24. Sanford Brown College of St. Peters, MO LPN to ADN RN

    EHH....I work with several women at the hospital that went to SB and not only did they not like the professors, but also hardly anybody looks at a sb grad over a Chamberlain of UMSL or Lutheran or even a Commun College. This is just what hiring charg...
  25. Chamberlain - Advice?

    Oh my gosh you guys the people that rep Chamberlain are amazing. Especially one lady. I applied after she talked to me for a while in the beginning of Feb and took the test, wrote the essays, and letters. I found out a week later that I have been acc...
