ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.

Hey guys. My sister and I, and some RN friends were interested in doing a nurses without borders kind of thing in the future. Has anyone done this? Was thinking of volunteering for a week in central america or somewhere near there. Does anyone have...

Hey guys, Just wondering what you all perceive to the average age of SRNA at your schools. I'm 27 and started in the ICU 3 months ago, so prob won't be in school for CRNA until i'm 30? If i get in :)

Hey guys, I'm not a CRNA yet. I want to be. I just got hired in a MICU/SICU. I was just wondering if it bothered any CRNA's the fact that MDs who practice anesthesia get paid wayy more for doing the same thing? I know some hospitals/facilities requi...

Has anyone seen the grossly misinformed website called "Doctor by your side" ???? Website is a complete joke. I was just looking at it and the misrepresentation of MDA's vs. CRNA's is pretty disgusting. It's sad that this is an actual website for th...

Hey guys. I was hoping I could get some CRNA's opinions on this matter. Do you find that the CRNA's tend to do the "easier cases"....i.e. ENT and ortho, and then the MDA will do the more difficult cases, i.e. cardiac or complicated GI?? Is this tr...

She wasn't venting. Venting is saying, wow my day sucked today bc this happened....She was putting down nursing as a profession...saying it's not respected and the worst job anyone could have and actually going out of her way saying that her mission ...

Omigosh you guys are sooooo incredibly WHINY!!!! I love my job and can't bear to listen to you peeps whine and complain anymore!!! Please just quit your jobs you claim to HATE and let a new grad get the job. Do yourself a favor, your patients, your c...

Nice. I wish I got into the ICU right after I graduated. I spent almost 3 years on a medical/tele floor.

Oh haha sorry I didn't look at the usernames. I was going to say!!! That makes no sense lol.

Awesome :)

There are NO online CRNA programs. The ones in new england/mid atlantic areas are 28-36 months....Some SRNAs do over 500-1,000 O.R. cases and a TON of clinicals hourse dealing with real patients and real anesthetics. So much training, and they make...

Hahaha. It just sucks that people will read that and BELIEVE it. They also make it seem like, the 4 years someone is in Medical school...that they are studying and practicing anesthesia for those 4 years. Such crap. They also have the nerve, and ...

I think he/she was probably referring to....no more pee, meaning no more cleaning up pts inc of urine and stool :)

So you got 4 year in pre-med, and then did an accelerated BSN??? how could you get a BSN and be in CRNA school at 24? did you finish your BS in pre-med in a year? i'm so confused. Did you go to college when you were 16?

wow that is awesome news. Thanks for everyone who responded :)

cool. woah 24, did you get into the ICU right after college?

Great job :)

WOW! i wish i made that

Been an RN for 3 years....was making $36-37/hr on nights in a Boston hospital....now in the ICU in NH---only make $28/hr on nights.

Hi nurses. I am a RN with a BSN. Actually I have 2 bachelor degrees. My 1st in Exericse & Sports Science. I'm 27 years old. Been an RN for 3 years (3 years in Aug). Worked on a Medical/Tele floor and now just got hired into an ICU (MICU/SICU). Go...

You should try to find a perioperative courses offered at colleges. They usually have clinicals---it can go on your resume, looks very good, and then u might be able to get hired where u did your clinical. My sister did that. She can give you some ...

I def did not think the prereqs were harder, but everyone is diff. Also, in my nursing school...it was an accelerated BSN for students with previous Bachelor degree....our entire math book was self-taught. Not sure how other nursing schools are, bu...

All of the first OP was soooo true. Thank you. I'm back on nights in the ICU.

I have NSO. Have had it since I became an RN 3 years ago. It's pretty cheap, something like $115 for the year.
