  1. 10th grader w/ a few questions?

    PrimeRib replied to jerryman09's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Wait, so I just read and re-read your post. When you said that you'll be eligible to take the NCLEX when you graduate high school, at first I thought you were mistaken and/or confusing it with some...

  2. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota CRNA Program

    PrimeRib replied to GaMommy81's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I didn't get into St. Mary's but have a similar pickle in that I did get into a different school, have accepted and paid my deposit but was just offered an interview at MSA. Off topic but just...

  3. How "good" of an ICU nurse does one need to be?

    PrimeRib posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sorry for the extremely long-winded post on an already tired topic, ie "what does it take?". I felt my particular question was perhaps different enough in nature to warrant a new thread. My...

  4. Community college or University for RN before CRNA?

    PrimeRib replied to brentewing's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Seeing as you already have your BS in Exercise Science, it seems to me that it would be the best use of your time (and possibly money) to complete a post-baccalaureate entry level nursing program, if...

  5. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    PrimeRib replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside nursing can be hard work, there's no two ways around that fact. I continue to be amazed by seeing nurses 25+ years my senior who can run circles around many of the younger staff, staying for...

  6. Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

    PrimeRib replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    While your pre-med friend should have some inkling as to what they might like to do should they indeed get into medical school and have the opportunity to apply to residencies, it's perhaps a bit...

  7. Franciscan Healthcare School of Anesthesia 2017

    PrimeRib replied to greysee7's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh, also, did you submit a resume along with your app? Just curious. They don't really ask for much, but yeah, website is very

  8. Franciscan Healthcare School of Anesthesia 2017

    PrimeRib replied to greysee7's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ie the UW-La Crosse program? I'm currently scrambling to get everything submitted. Their website is a bit unorganized, it's one of those weird programs (like MSA in Minneapolis) where the degree is...

  9. University of Minnesota

    PrimeRib posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello, just curious if anyone applied for the University of Minnesota's DNP CRNA program this year? I haven't seen too many recent threads about this school. Anyone out there a current/former student...

  10. University of Minnesota

    PrimeRib replied to PrimeRib's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I believe so, only 12 students per year, I have an acquaintance from my BSN class in the program currently. For this reason I'm viewing my application as more or less a hopeful shot in the dark, but...

  11. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota CRNA Program

    PrimeRib replied to GaMommy81's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Anyone else see this on the "prospective students" tab of the SMUMN NA program's website? Just spotted it this morning. "We have finished processing applications for the class starting in 2017 and...

  12. Is there Hope for me after 21 yrs???

    PrimeRib replied to Momtotjmatt's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed on the notion that the wages for MAs are not particularly great or likely to support a family of four. With the "not nursing-related" comment, however, I have to question how this little dig...

  13. Bad situation and mad coworker? What could I have done?

    PrimeRib replied to missind33's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh man, don't you just hate nurses like this? I didn't read the replies before me, so I'm sure this was already mentioned, but the cliche is true, nursing is a 24-hr job. Of course we all would like...

  14. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota CRNA Program

    PrimeRib replied to GaMommy81's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Strange, I could have sworn that mine said "requirements check" earlier on before it switched over to the month-long+ "admission review" purgatory. So I really have no idea what it means. Doesn't...

  15. Any tips for UNE organic chem final?

    PrimeRib replied to pumpkin's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The professor for our O chem lecture was one of those instructors who is probably kept on because of his research because I must say, while a very nice guy, he probably doesn't have any business...

  16. Any tips for UNE organic chem final?

    PrimeRib replied to pumpkin's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I did a brick and mortar organic chemistry course last fall at a state university, huge lecture with 150+ students (funny being in class again with mostly 19 year olds), so I can't speak to the UNE...

  17. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota CRNA Program

    PrimeRib replied to GaMommy81's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Mine still says "admission review". I guess it's only been a little over a month and this is something everybody who's ever tried to apply to grad school has to go through, but it's quite the arduous...

  18. CCRN preparation

    PrimeRib replied to Cticufnpstudent's topic in Critical Care

    The synergy model is more of a way of life to all CCRNs than simply just a model. In order to adequately understand the synergy model, one needs to invest ample time into synching up Pink Floyd's...

  19. Study plan for CCRN?

    PrimeRib replied to Magsulfate's topic in Critical Care

    According to AACN, in order to sit for the exam, you have to have worked I think 1750 hrs in critical care in the last two years (ie about a year's worth of time). Not that it's really all that...

  20. Words You Hate

    PrimeRib replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    We give quite a bit of metroprolol on our unit. Patients usually don't like being on lasik drips, because they end up being up all night

  21. Failed CCRN again

    PrimeRib replied to Whitroth05's topic in Critical Care

    I don't think it's a terribly advanced step from what one might learn from the step-down or tele environment. New information, yes, but it's not like you're learning to do heart surgery. Regarding...

  22. Why do you wear a white coat? (if you indeed do)

    PrimeRib replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    We had a CNS at my first job who tended to wear a long white coat around. The hospital logo and his name, originally blue in stitching, were above either breast pocket. It appeared that at one point...

  23. Study plan for CCRN?

    PrimeRib replied to Magsulfate's topic in Critical Care

    Oh, and regarding the test itself: I would be lying if I didn't say it was a very difficult test, in fact the first thing I said to the proctor as she handed me the "you passed!" printout was,...

  24. Study plan for CCRN?

    PrimeRib replied to Magsulfate's topic in Critical Care

    Hi, just took my test this afternoon and fortunately passed so I can fill you in on my thoughts, sorry if I ramble, I'm just relieved to be done with it. I got on loan from our unit educator a copy...

  25. Pearson Vue Trick: Is it accurate? Do you know anyone who paid using their CC and passed?

    PrimeRib replied to HeyViv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Did they make the Pearson Vue trick more high stakes or something? As I remember it, when I took my NCLEX 6 years ago it wouldn't even bring you to the screen to enter your credit card info if you had...
