    Oh, you're right. I forgot the general deadline hasn't quite passed yet... I have interviews with Georgetown and UMD (might be too far to be considered "in the area"

    Bullied by a colleague

    renardeau replied to enc123's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the other posters. If it were me, I wouldn't really engage. In fact, unless it's a question I have to answer, I don't dignify rude/stupid comments with responses at all. Don't ever let...

    If You Could Only Give ONE Piece of Advice to New RNs

    renardeau replied to renardeau's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're right, and I did worry that it would come off as blatant acceptance of something you inherently disagree with. (In fact, after submitting, I thought I should have taken the time to address it...

    Doctors rip VA plan that would give some nurses more authority

    renardeau replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Does anyone know the status of the actual rule? Forgive me for being somewhat naive when it comes to these things, but it's a 'proposed rule', right? It seems like the government was taking comments...

    ratio's with induced hypothermia patients

    renardeau replied to **LaurelRN's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Ours are ideally 1:1 if staffing allows but just for the first 6 hours just because of the busy nature of sometimes doing a stat head CT and admission work if the patient is a little unstable... it's...

    Recently moved, applying to part-time positions. Do I disclose grad school plans?

    renardeau posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I recently moved to a different city due to my fiance's job and so I am looking for a new part-time or PRN position. Not to count my chickens, but I am currently in the process of applying for MSN/DNP...

    Test today am I overreacting?

    renardeau replied to enfermeratobe's topic in General Students

    I get the feeling of injustice---that would annoy me too---but unless your tests are graded on a curve, the fact that other students got an unfair advantage doesn't affect your own grade. What would...

    Im just so tired of school

    renardeau replied to nishey94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find hellish circumstances may still be bearable if one has a good network of support. Maybe you are in an existential rut or full-blown depression---who are your friends and family? Maybe it would...

    How to limit the time spend in building for becomming a CRNA?

    renardeau replied to X123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To be honest, even if the mandate is 2025, you have to realize that many programs have already transitioned to DNP over MSN and the few that haven't are planning to pretty soon. You'll be pretty...

    Yeah, so I submitted my app in August. Some updates have appeared on SURFS, but I've found that there is a good lag time (probably because some things like recs were sent closer to the priority...

    renardeau replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in General Students

    If you're worried about his aunt, I would say the safest response is exactly what you're already doing: ignore him. Professor Aunt could come after you for doing something that can be misconstrued,...

    Icu or ER

    renardeau replied to Brandnewrn14's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Do you have to give the ER an answer right away? Cardiac ICU is better experience for CRNA, you could always go to the interview as it's so soon
