  1. CRNA Threat

    msn10 replied to samirish's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    ABCCRN Maybe it is the NP school in your area. During my DNP, I am only taking 1 nursing theory class, 2 advanced stats, and one advanced research. The other 70 credits were clinical (with didactic...

  2. Nursing: Culture of inclusion, or culture of exclusion?

    msn10 replied to CapricaNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It all depends on how constructive the criticism is. Yes, some people are overly sensitive, but most people can handle feedback on performance. You can give feedback, even difficult 'you made a...

  3. Nursing: Culture of inclusion, or culture of exclusion?

    msn10 replied to CapricaNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There are 2 major problems that a new grad can face. 1. Starting their first job on a unit with a bad culture 2. Being trained by a preceptor who has never been trained as a preceptor. Many nurses...

  4. Should rural nursing be a specialty?

    msn10 posted a topic in Rural

    Nurses in rural areas are confronted with very different hospital and clinic cultures than urban nurses. Nurses in rural areas have less resources available to them, less educational opportunities,...

  5. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    msn10 replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Actually it is the opposite here. The more clinical time you have, the more chest thumping rights you have and BSN students at 2 of the schools in town have the most. Lately, the best thing that has...

  6. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    msn10 replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am tired of all the so-called nursing schools that have popped up over the last 10 years that are robbing students of their money and teaching at such a bare minimum that the graduates are barely...

  7. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    msn10 replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I completely agree with you. A number of nurses who cannot find jobs are from regions where there is a shortage of jobs in general. There are many rural areas that need nurses and some not so rural....

  8. Why aren't new grads getting hired?

    msn10 replied to aubrn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think there is a shortage right now, but our new grads are finding jobs, but employers are being very selective and I don't blame them. The actual number for training a new grad - or more...

  9. Seriously? What are they telling you in school?

    msn10 replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    True, but the patient has the right to be given the injection by an RN or MD if they request it. My family members have been trained to say the following in the MD's office: "I respectfully request a...

  11. NS at 125 ml/hr is not an ER order

    msn10 replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    I don't think the OP was concerned just about his or her own convenience. I think OP sounds like a nurse who is considering the patient's inconvenience, pain, potential for unnecessary infection,...

  12. What's the best area of nursing to start?

    msn10 replied to esunada's topic in Nursing Career

    If you are getting the privilege of doing an externship and you are able to go where you want, then pick what you think you will like. We use to tell people to go into med/surg for the 'well rounded...

  14. Pharmacists giving injections!?!

    msn10 replied to chevyv's topic in Patient Medications

    Years ago nurses couldn't give injections either (many years ago). But even in the recent past nurses couldn't pull out a cath after an angioplasty, operate a defibrillator, or any other advanced...

  15. The problem with floating ER Nurses

    msn10 replied to crabalot's topic in Emergency

    I love working with rural nurses!!!! They are the professional generalists. Small town hospitals see so much trauma without all the resources of bigger hospitals. I am in awe of a rural nurse's...

  16. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Never said anything about pain fellowships. Let me spell out what I was saying. MD's have multiple fellowships and can specialize. The CRNA's do not have all of those fellowships, hence they can't...

  17. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Nothing, when teaching ACLS, I don't teach med students any differently than I would an ICU nurse. That is not what I am talking about. The anesthesiologist went to medical school and does (USUALLY) a...

  18. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes, I know. That wasn't the point of my post. MD's can't practice either in the states unless they go though as US residency. Nurses and doctors can train in other countries for schooling (BSN and...

  20. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Let me return the favor. Most of the big schools like Rush, Columbia, Duke, Mayo, University of Iowa, etc., do not require a BSN. Ironically, schools like Case Western, Wake Forest, and the Medical...

  21. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    wtbcrna No, I don't work in a ACT hospital, I teach the CRNA's in a trauma/teaching hospital. We have 8 hospitals in the area that I work and teach. I get to see more than one model, I get to teach in...

  22. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    On average they do. We have both CRNA's and MD's in training at the trauma hospital. MD's do a great deal more. You can only supervise if you are a CA-3 (4h year). The best way to compare is go to a...

  23. My gut is telling me you are not a nurse

    msn10 replied to ksc0723's topic in Nursing Career

    UPS is harder then nursing, I worked there in college, talk about lifting! OY! IMO just get away from patients for a while. Take a break. Maybe try insurance companies, they are always looking for...

  24. Back to the floor!!!

    msn10 replied to SandraCVRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was a cardiac nurse for years and I wish I would have had some OR training before starting the position so I could have told my patients what is was really like, not just what I heard. What a great...

  25. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    msn10 replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Completely unfair and incorrect statement. MD's get their 'education' in medical school. They do their residency (which is in house, in surgery training and patient rounds) in the hospital and it is...
