Hey everyone! So I have my CRNE this coming June. I already have 3 review books (I have a mosby one, a lippincott one and the CNA one). BUT- I feel like I REALLY want to know my stuff inside out. I love the "made incredibly easy" series and I was goi...

Hello all, I'm doing some research about NICU and I came across Thermoregulation. I'm so confused at the relationship between hypothermia and : - hypoxia - acidosis - hypoglycemia - pulmonary vasoconstriction If anyone could explain any of the above ...

Hello all, I am a new graduate RN who is looking for an NICU job (I have a few interviews coming up). In the meantime, I am planning on attending a Perinatal Neonatal Stream Nursing Certificate course in a few weeks. In addition, I have been reading ...

Thank you so incredibly much everybody- your responses mean a lot to me.

Thanks so much for the reply! And I also have Gardner and Merenstein and I agree. Thanks so much.

Hello, I don't know if you'll get this as you posted a while back but I have a question about you doing research prior to your NICU interview. I am anticipating a NICU interview in the near future and I got a few really good neonatal books out and I'...

Post removed.

I love this question because I am a new grad RN and it is my absolute DREAM to work in the NICU and I've been applying to a number of NICU jobs and I'm scared of what they can possibly ask me in the interview (especially at this one hospital because ...

Hello Everyone, I just graduated from a BScN program and passed the CRNE and am now an RN :) I knew ever since going into nursing that my dream is to work in the NICU. It is what I was born to do and I know it. I'm in Canada though (ontario to be mor...

Hello all, I feel silly asking this question but I've been doing some practice questions for the CRNE using the CNA "Learn" books. And I've been doing worse than I have expected- most of the questions just seem so odd for lack of a better word. Aside...

Thank you so much! And that was a really good point- about what you said regarding what you would do in the "perfect world of nursing" because it just hit me that whenever I do my practice questions, I always think about what I'd do and (stupidly eno...

I was wondering if you guys could help me out! I'm taking the CRNE on June 1st 2011 and Im so SO confused on what I should study! I was going to focus on anatomy and pathophysiology and whatnot but apparently that wouldn't help?! Any pointers? Thank ...

How do I get to the Canadian forum?

Thank you so much! Yes, I am educated in Canada and I as well have heard that it is not-so-science-based. Since it is based on psycho-social aspects, however, I feel unsure as to how to prepare. Thank you again for moving this over to the other threa...

Hey! I wouldn't for the life of me be able to translate my understanding in my head to words so I'll copy what my "Clinical Pharmacology Made Incredibly Easy" book explains regarding ACE inhibitors because I totally understand what you're saying but ...

Edit: Are just reviewing the review books adequate in your opinion? Or should I go subject by subject with other books and then at the end do the review books? Thanks!

Im in my final year of nursing and I am going to have 2-3 days of clinical a year in a pediatric ward. I LOVE kids so I know that I will love the ward- I am just worried SICK about my critical thinking! In my ENTIRE 3 years of nursing I have felt li...

THATS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! I feel my problem was not only rooted in the exhaustion of pre-planning but the fact that my university has MANY electives you have to take (that have NOTHING to do with nursing) that take all of your time and effort that wh...

Thank you so much for that. Im sorry that you're going through the same thing but it really helps knowing someone is in the same boat. I know 100% that we will be okay- it's just hard going through a (long) phase where you feel like you're not like e...

Thank you so much everyone- I really REALLY appreciate it.

I totally agree! That's like when I graduate, I know I 100% want to work in NICU but everyone says "do general medicine or something because if you do NICU and then realize you hate it, they wont accept you in another ward because babies are so diffe...

Hey all :) I am going into my 4th and last year of nursing and my school is having a "lottery" to assign placements to us. I want a placement where I get to learn as many skills as possible. I want to learn EVERYTHING I could possibly learn about eve...

Hey everyone, I'm just extremely stressed right now. Im currently in third year of the BScN program (which ends in 4 weeks) and I'm having a bit of a crisis and I can't handle it anymore. I'm having A LOT of trouble putting things together and I can'...
