    elijahvegas replied to SRNALola's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not a srna, still in regular ol' nursing school but I'm no stranger to competitiveness and cliques in the program or other programs I've been in. I'm generally competitive by nature and I'd...

    I want a medical job!!!!

    elijahvegas replied to quintishaf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far in clinical the lowest level of care I've seen are LPNs. I haven't seen a cna since my ltc rotation. But that just may be my neck of the

    I want a medical job!!!!

    elijahvegas replied to quintishaf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    if you really want ANY kind of "medical" experience so you can put it on your resume whenever you do become an rn or lpn, then CNA wouldn't be a "waste". But a CNA's duty are a fragment of what youre...

    Help! Has anyone been kicked out for failing technical standards

    elijahvegas replied to interestedparty's topic in General Students

    Nursing to Med School

    elijahvegas replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This has become less about the op and more into egos of nurses feeling underappreciated and disgruntled with doctors. Reading some of these replies the undertones scream "I can do a doctors job,...

    How many men in your cohort?

    elijahvegas replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I know what you mean. At first I didn't like it either, but then I came to the conclusion that having a competitive edge is everything when it comes to careers these days. So if having 6 fingers or a...

    How many men in your cohort?

    elijahvegas replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well I can't really prove it but like I said, they can't admit it openly because that's a form of gender discrimination which as I said before is quite illegal. With that said, its always been hinted...

    How many men in your cohort?

    elijahvegas replied to Caribbean Character's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes. Unofficially. They'll never admit it because its illegal. But if you're a male with a 3.8 GPA vs a female with a 3.8...guess who's gonna get that spot. The school gets more money for minorities...

    Nursing to Med School

    elijahvegas replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As for the OP post goes, the bottom line is that this is obviously a resoudingly bad idea. THATS why you have so many nay-sayers. Because the nay-sayers are answering from a practical point of view....

    elijahvegas replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you're working at a place and CNT find a job at your level I doubt you'll get fired for completing school. Never heard of a cna that went through rn or lpn school getting fired because they got...

    When you sign it, that's definitely OK. But make sure you sign as so Dr. John Doe, Rn, DNP. if youre an rn on the floor, you're an rn regardless of your credentials. If you're an rn by license working...

    Nursing to Med School

    elijahvegas replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah people don't get just how anal and egotistical MDs can be, and I'd imagine its much worse at a private setting. I got reamed by a PA because a pt was asking about lidocaine and I responded before...

    Nursing to Med School

    elijahvegas replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Stop... Clearly anyone that agrees with this point of view has never been in a hospital setting and seen this in action. One of my former instructors that oversaw one of our hs programs was a PhD,...

    Nursing to Med School

    elijahvegas replied to Cg37387n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    its an impractical way to go. nursing school takes about 4 years to get to, ironically just to receive your associates, and then you'll need another 2 years to get your bachelors which depending on...

    Muslim nursing students

    elijahvegas replied to mtcowgirl's topic in General Students

    wearing your hijab to lecture shouldn't be an issue, and i can't imagine that the instructors would have the gall to try to to turn it into a thing. With that said, lets talk about real life here--...
