  1. Truth about Nursing diagnosis

    UTRN2005 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student and I was just wondering how much you actually use written 3-part nursing diagnoses and pt goals and nursing interventions and evaluations in the real world. Our program seems to stress...

  2. IV start advice

    UTRN2005 posted a topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    Hi, I'm a student and just started my first IV (on a fellow classmate) in 2 attempts, both attempts were in the cephalic vein in the wrist. I didn't try any on the hand. I was just wondering if...

    I got my acceptance call from Baylor in Houston yesterday!!! Anyone else get a

  4. Baylor anyone?

    UTRN2005 replied to UTRN2005's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The program is more compressed time-wise than other schools. That tends to make things feel more difficult just because you are trying to learn so much information in a shorter time period. The...

  5. ACNP to CRNA

    UTRN2005 replied to coopsc1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't know about other programs, but mine is not an MSN, it is an MS in nurse anesthesia (no nursing theory classes). So if you were to enter my program you would start at the beginning with...

  6. DNP required soon?

    UTRN2005 replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    The argument of misrepresentation as a basis for lower educational requirements is asinine. Why would anyone be against CRNAs having higher education? CRNAs are here to administer anesthesia to the...

  7. CRNA school essay questions and how to anwer them

    UTRN2005 replied to hojimma's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Answer the questions honestly. You will most likely be asked about your essay during your interview. If you fudge it they will

  8. Do I really want to become a CRNA?

    UTRN2005 replied to wildfire2098's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Okay. You're confusing me. First you say that I have to admit that money is a factor in people going back to school. I agree, it is a factor but in the original post the only reason mentioned for...

  9. Do I really want to become a CRNA?

    UTRN2005 replied to wildfire2098's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not denying that the pay plays a factor. But the OP didn't mention any benefit over the pay. Personally, I like the autonomy, the higher level thinking, the prestige, and ,yes, the pay helps....

  10. Choosing a CRNA program.

    UTRN2005 replied to fungirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Short answer my GPA was 4.0 I knew Baylor was where I wanted to be and I knew that to get in with the amount of experience I have (1 year at the time of the interview) I would have to really work and...

  11. Do I really want to become a CRNA?

    UTRN2005 replied to wildfire2098's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would recommend shadowing a CRNA for a few days. That will give you more insight than anything else. And FYI if you give the impression that you're pursuing CRNA for the money (which your original...

  12. Work during school?

    UTRN2005 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So I've been accepted and now comes the question...do I try and work the 1-2 shifts per month or do I quit my job completely and focus only on school? My husband works and will make just enough to...

  13. Choosing a CRNA program.

    UTRN2005 replied to fungirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't know if that was for me or the OP but I ruled out TWU and UT Houston based on research of the program (strength of clinical sites, didactic course, availablility of gross anatomy lab, etc) and...

  14. Choosing a CRNA program.

    UTRN2005 replied to fungirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Check the schools websites. I know Baylor no longer has a brochure but that everything on online. Then if you still have questions email the program directors. I met with the program directors at...

  15. Whats to Enjoy about Nursing?

    UTRN2005 replied to sissyboo's topic in General Nursing

    I like my co-workers, but not my job. I've been a nurse for 1 year and am more than ready to get away from the bedside. Many days I feel like I work my butt of only to be chewed out in the AM by the...

  16. CRNA Programs w/ Clinicals in one local area?

    UTRN2005 replied to AdonaiLoveable's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All schools are competitive. However, Baylor and UT have reputations of being even more difficult to get into than most. I know that Baylor interviewed 40 and accepted 14. I cannot speak to other...

  17. Baylor anyone?

    UTRN2005 replied to UTRN2005's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh and while June 25th may be coming soon....It is not coming soon enough. Can you tell I'm at work right

    UTRN2005 replied to UTRN2005's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I didn't apply to any other schools so no problem

  19. CRNA Programs w/ Clinicals in one local area?

    UTRN2005 replied to AdonaiLoveable's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Baylor and UT Houston all take place in Houston. However they are both highly competitive. Baylor took 14 this year and I heard a rumor that UT was taking

  20. Anesthesologist and CRNA collaboration

    UTRN2005 replied to GregRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    While the debate of CRNAs/AAs/MDAs is all fine and well, I'm interested to hear responses that are pertinent to the original question. Thank

    UTRN2005 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  22. Problems with Baylor Application

    UTRN2005 replied to UTRN2005's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've left my number and sent several e-mails (it states online that email is preferred) and have yet to hear back. I'm kind of at a loss as to whether I should keep calling or give them some time to...

  24. "Nurses are not professionals"

    UTRN2005 replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Nursing

    This is why some people, myself included feel that the minimum education for nurses should be the BSN. We cannot compete if we are complacent about minimal degrees requirements(the ADN itself, not the...
