  1. Kaiser California????

    manusko replied to Darkpk55's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So I am confused by your other postings. Are you in High School or College or Nursing School? It possible to get straight A's if you put the time and energy into it. I did not put my full energy into...

  2. ICU experience.. a stepping stone?

    manusko replied to ashandtherevolution's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Answer questions during the interview as best as you can without going into your CRNA plans. Most units want you to devote 2 years with them before leaving. If they ask about your future school plans...

  3. Kaiser California????

    manusko replied to Darkpk55's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I start in January. Hamot School of Anesthesia in Pennsylvania. I do not know about Kaiser but this is like the third or fourth time I have heard about a school that is almost immpossible to get any...

  4. All it takes to be an ICU nurse?

    manusko replied to stram87's topic in Critical Care

    Yeah it did seem to be true for myself and many others as well. I had 3 month orientation and then was on my own. I had great nurses who I knew to go to with my many questions. I also did not get the...

  5. Kaiser California????

    manusko replied to Darkpk55's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Study your butt off even more than you are. Did you know how hard this school was before you entered? How far into the program are

  6. CRNA clinical Hours

    manusko replied to BSNRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with you about the amount of time, but it still is not the question he asked. Just

  7. So..is it true what they say?

    manusko replied to sophie<3's topic in General Nursing

    I was told during my three month orientation that nursing school was teaching to pass the NCLEX and my new work center was going to teach me how to be a nurse. Pretty much was true for

  8. How to Become A Nurse....

    manusko replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get a degree plan from the school you wish to attend and take those pre-req classes at the community college. Make sure these classes

  9. Why do nurses get licensed by a state board instead of a federal board?

    manusko replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    Even if it was a national liscense and not a federal liscense that would make more sense since you take the same test regardless of your state. I took my boards for Texas and tested in Oklahoma. But...

  10. CRNA clinical Hours

    manusko replied to BSNRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It really does not to some people but I believe the poster wanted to get an idea of what they are in

  11. How come people portray nursing so negatively on here?

    manusko replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Telling students this type of statement makes them feel anxious about what they are going to experience when they start working. "Nurses eat their young", I can not tell you how many times I...

  12. How come people portray nursing so negatively on here?

    manusko replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    That is probably the best thing for you to do, but not every nurse feels that working in a hospital is really that bad. I have only worked in one area of the hospital and love it, but I cannot comment...

  13. CRNA clinical Hours

    manusko replied to BSNRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The school I have been accepted to did not list an amount of specific clinical hours for graduation, but they have a minimum amount of each procedure that must be done. Call and ask them how many...

  14. How come people portray nursing so negatively on here?

    manusko replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a hospital CCU and love it. I would not want to work anywhere else in the hospital. If I was offered a clinic job, M-F and for the same pay I would not accept it. I would be bored out of my...

  15. what area of nursing is 9-5, no w/e and whats the pay like? NY

    manusko replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    Operating room is one that can be 8 hrs a day, but you may work 3-11 or something similar. Plus you will have to pull call every month. I went to school with a girl who said she was not going to work...

  16. Too Short for ICU Nursing?

    manusko replied to sixthwannabe's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Your size is only a limit if you let it be. If the unit wants to hire you then you should feel like you can work there and have help from your co-workers. Sometimes we have 4-5 nurses helping turn...

  17. "That's why I don't like working with women"

    manusko replied to clemmm78's topic in General Nursing

    If anyone says that statement then they picked the wrong profession. Personally I tell people I left military dental assisting and joined nursing to get away from all the

  18. Online ACLS certification?

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

    Do it twice if it is worth it to you. Do you need PALS too? Most schools I looked at required it also. What school are you appyling for? I never dreamed of applying before i hit at least a year in...

  19. Texas Wesleyan GRE

    manusko replied to foxyhill21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Friend of mine had a 970 and got in, but he was also around a 4.0

  20. Transferring credits

    manusko replied to twins07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What do you mean by transfer? You will probably have to take all their courses that are in the CRNA degree program. If you are talking about other undergrad classes then probably yes, but either way...

  21. Tried but failed...

    manusko replied to AlexV's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    From your GPA, it sounds like more than just one science class is holding you back. Retake your sciences and get A's. There are a few schools that require a 2.75 GPA, but most are 3.0 and I am sure...

  22. Should you consider being a CRNA if you don't like chemistry?

    manusko replied to ehlim412's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Who likes chemistry? I bet the majority of people in CRNA school are not huge fans of chemistry. If you are enthusiastic about finishing a CRNA program, then I am sure you would be

  23. Can you get into CRNA school if....

    manusko replied to Capable1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All of the online programs I have heard about make you perform clinicals either during or after the class room materials. As long as it is an accredited university, then it will come down to the...

  24. Trying to make the right decision

    manusko replied to starbuck81's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
