  4. Nursing School with a Disability

    missnurse01 replied to NightOwlGirl's topic in General Students

    I also don't see that they are going to restructure the program for you. Have you looked at a part time program or do you have one around you that is completely at night? I have seen them before but...

  5. Supervisor?

    missnurse01 replied to aleena23's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would think long and hard about it. I have seen many times where a nurse with less senority is raised up in order for the supervisor to basically puppet them into how they want them to do their...

  7. NG tube in an intubated patient

    missnurse01 replied to stephynic21's topic in Emergency

    missnurse01 replied to Nathifalr26's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree, if you don't do it now, it might be years and years till you can do it. I worked two jobs and lived 1.5 hrs from school. also not a lot of sleep involved. I didn't have kids tho....

  9. Where are all the jobs?

    missnurse01 replied to LithEruiel's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think that most people look at the individual hosp websites. Most list open positions there and no other place. good

  10. LVN wanting to continue education

    missnurse01 replied to mrslisamorris's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it is probably going to be very similar in the amount of time it will take you to do any advanced degree. If you will be happy with whatever work you do as and ADN then that's great-if you...

  11. Just finished my first semester. Ask me anything.

    missnurse01 replied to MeTheRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  12. Moving to Seattle alone?

    missnurse01 replied to aprilfresh's topic in Washington Nursing

    I actually work with a guy who moved here last year from Michigan! My mom lives out by you too. There is lots for people to do, people seem be very active here. I know quite a few that have moved...

  15. cardioplegia leak??

    missnurse01 replied to WSU_Ally_RN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    missnurse01 replied to njxcrush18's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I had this discussion with the CRNA that I recently shadowed. She had been out of school 10 years and was still paying student loans. Her feelings were that the interest rate was lower than her car,...

  17. cardioplegia leak??

    missnurse01 replied to WSU_Ally_RN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    well I don't do peds but do adult OHS and I haven't ever seen this. I assume it would take a lot less volume in the peds area to affect the K then in the adult population though! Somehow the bath...

  18. New Grad Needs Experience

    missnurse01 replied to bubblejet50's topic in Critical Care

    I would ask the nurse recruiters or call and speak to the managers of the units you are looking at getting into. I did EMT-I for flight nursing, but haven't seen it be used as a leg up for trauma...

  19. New Grad needing advice from experienced nurses!

    missnurse01 replied to SterlingArcher's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hi! First off, yes you will be totally overwhelmed but that is normal and will diminish with time. It's okay! Second: just like in nursing school, each nurse you orient with will have a different...

    missnurse01 replied to sunshine456's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  21. Anyone applied to or currently attending a CRNA program in California?

    missnurse01 replied to rcon's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    altho I am not in a program I hear from those that have gone thru Kaiser's are extremely happy with it--altho all the long drives to clinicals are a killer. I was really interested in San Fran for a...

    missnurse01 replied to nursemud17's topic in Cardiac
