  1. CRNA Jobs?

    I am in the beginning of nursing school. I am planning my path to my future and I am almost positive CRNA is the path I want to take. My question is... Once I become a CRNA are there many jobs? I don't seem to see them listed. I worry I will go throu...
  2. What does your username mean?

    Mine means even when life seems like your lost amongst the trees, you can always find a bit of sunshine to brighten your way and perhaps even appreciate the protection of the shade. Lol O.K. well really it was just the first thing that popped into m...
  3. Study to be A nurse without program

    I wouldn't worry about your reading speed at this point. Trust me, by the time you finish your pre-reqs to get into a nursing program your reading skills will have improved just from all the practice you will get doing those classes. Get a job in a ...
  4. Tell me if you think this is fair.

    Does your school have an ombudsman? If so contact them ASAP.
  5. If you ever considered PA school...

    Wow a WHOLE 65 degrees in the country! So many too choose from.. are you kidding me? I live in NY every program in NY is at least 2 hours from here. So me and my random relative and the other hundreds of people living around me are screwed I guess. ...
  6. If you ever considered PA school...

    I actually said I was pretty sure you needed an RN and for your information a family member of mine is in the same situation as Spartan and there aren't any schools in this area that do not require an RN first! So instead of telling the world what IS...
  7. If you ever considered PA school...

    I'm just a student but I'm pretty sure you have to work as an RN for a year before entering an NP program, which makes being a PCA irrelevant for NP. PA is held to medical model standards while NP's are under the nursing model. PA's have more flexibi...
  8. I posted in another thread

    but didn't get much response. Please lend some advice... My husband and I are seriously considering moving to Colorado. We like the idea of sunny days and snow but also we are both planning to pursue upper level degrees which are both offered at U ...
  9. What is the academic process from Psychiatric RN to PMHNP ?

    If it goes into effect for 2015 does this mean in order to graduate with just a masters you must be enrolled in a program by 2015. Or will it go into effect even for people who's expected graduation date falls after the Doctorate would be required? I...
  10. New grad? Here's what you can expect..

    What is SNF?
  11. I posted in another thread

    Thank you all for the advice. I will definitely call COBON. Thank you Start for the link, I'm going to check it out right now. I'm not sure if it will count as experience or not but I was a CNA for many years and I am currently a tech at a large mag...
  12. Where to take NCLEX

    Thanks for the response. Well one of the reason we plan to move is because my husband is applying to Red Rock CC for the physician assistant program, so he won't be working. I suppose we can live anywhere as long as it is someplace he can commute to...
  13. Where to take NCLEX

    My husband and I are seriously considering moving to Colorado. We like the idea of sunny days and snow but also we are both planning to pursue upper level degrees which are both offered at U of C. Anyway, I don't graduate until Dec of 12 and my quest...
  14. New grad having nightmares about work!!!!!!!!!

    I think exercise and meditation. I Start nursing 1 in January and I just started having nightmares about school. Forgetting how to spell, not being able to write what I'm thinking. Very frustrating. Remember your dreams are your brains way of relievi...
  15. Becoming A LPN While In RN Program

    I live in NY and they no longer allow this. Do you think you would be able to take the LPN test in another state after completing enough RN classes...even though you live in NY?
  16. Associate degree nurse working on BSN

    I have been reading a lot of posts saying that that bigger hospitals are requiring Nurses to have a BSN to work for them. I'm curious if anyone knows if it helps if you are in the process of obtaining your Bachelors, if you already have your AS. Kind...
  17. Dual license?

    I tried briefly searching for the answer to this but didn't see anything. Are you allowed to hold both an RN license as well as a PA license simultaneously ? Meaning if you get both degrees can you work..say full-time as one and part time as the othe...
  18. crna

    loveanesthesia Can you tell me if your science classes were more then five yrs old? It seems they must have been if you worked ICU for 5 years prior to attending the Grad program. Did they make an exception? Or was it not a requirement? Or am I compl...

    Thanks so much guys for all the advice. To answer a few questions.. I do realize that I need a year of ICU. I am already employed at a hospital and have some connections, so when I finish my A.S. in nursing (which I am a year from doing because I hav...
  20. Loans and no options

    I live in NY around a flurry of colleges. I don't think any of the colleges with nursing programs have on campus housing but there are a TON of off campus college housing where you would have a roommate. I think if you take out loans you would be fin...
  21. NCLEX-RN everytime you move?

    These might sounds stupid but I have a question. Once you take the NCLEX-RN and pass it.. if you move to another state ( at any given time in the future ) do you have to retake it in the new state? If so.. all states? Or do some required some other t...
  22. NCLEX-RN everytime you move?

    Maladroit, where are you thinking about moving? I LOVE Chicago.. I used to live in West Michigan.
  23. I am an American.

    If he doesn't like it then maybe HE should look down! Also besides that idiotic request.. Who on Earth does he think he is asking a nurse to bite her tongue regarding her patients care! He should be reported and this nonsense put to rest. Regardless ...
  24. When should you choose your specialty?

    I have about a year and a half until I graduate. I am having a hard time deciding what to focus on. Eventually I would like to be some sort of NP but I can't decide what specialty. Is this something I need to know right now or is it something you wai...
  25. When should you choose your specialty?

    I can see that. So should I be most on the look out? lol
