1. Advice for acceptance into CRNA school

   Nolander replied to TennesseeRN2015's topic in SRNA

   I saw your previous thread/post and realized you applied to the same school I did. I received an interview invitation for January. My stats are eerily similar to yours so I too am surprised you were not granted an interview. My science and overall GP...

   I'm Currently applying for Anesthesia school, application deadline is November 1st so I have time to prepare my application before submission but I do have worries regarding my stats for school. My stats are as follows: -3.44 cumulative GPA. Graduate...

4. Nursing vs. Engineering

   Nolander replied to Nolander's topic in Career Support

   No regrets so far. The things that really drew me away from engineering as it comes down to it is that I'm honestly not that good at math and probably would both dislike and have a hard time juggling the math heavy course load, as is the nature of en...

5. Nursing vs. Engineering

   Nolander replied to Nolander's topic in Career Support

   What a way to revive an old thread! I'm happy to say that I am now a practicing RN on my local hospital's stroke and neurosurgical unit and just recently received a nice little pay raise.

6. Getting a C in Nursing

   Nolander replied to Annachu512's topic in General Students

   The externship I participated in looked at overall GPA and not just individual grades in your Nursing courses.

7. Do male nurses wear scrub jackets???

   Hot? In an OR? Surely not.

8. Are LPN/LVN's on the rebound?

   Nolander posted a topic in LPN/LVN

   This is purely speculation from my own personal encounters in my locality. Is it just me or does it seem like LPN's are on the rebound in terms of being hired. I know a large consensus of people find the LPN is being phased out, as not even 2 year RN...

9. RN to BSN - does it matter which school I pick?

   Nolander replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

   Yeah the online program through IWU used to have a clinical component, but no longer does. My main reasoning is that I will be working full time, as a new grad RN. Having clinicals is one thing, but doing it when you are work full time as a new grad ...

10. RN to BSN - does it matter which school I pick?

11. RN to BSN - does it matter which school I pick?

    Nolander posted a topic in General Students

    I will graduate with my ADN come December and plan on applying to RN-BSN programs soon after that. One option I have to attend an rn-bsn program from a fairly well known state university in my state. The program will take 2 years, mostly online, and ...

12. When should I start applying for jobs?

    Nolander posted a topic in General Students

    I will graduate with an ADN in December of this year, probably won't take (and hopefully pass!) the NCLEX until sometime in January. I was browsing my local hospital's job openings today and noticed an RN position in a unit I would really like to wor...

13. How many of you both circulate AND scrub?

    Nolander posted a topic in Operating Room

    Is it very often that RN's get to scrub in on surgeries, or are the RN's more exclusively becoming circulators while the surg techs take over scrubbing in?

14. Attrition/Retention rate at your School

    Nolander replied to Sadala's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure, but people can and do graduate and become good nurses, everyone that graduated last year had an RN job upon graduation, whether locally or in another town. My main concern is the grading system. Yes, any third person viewer can simply s...

15. Attrition/Retention rate at your School

    Nolander replied to Sadala's topic in General Students

    I'm entering my 4th semester in my program with 9 people. We started with 25. My school has the highest NCLEX pass rates in the surrounding area. Nobody at all in my program has managed to make an A in any of our classes so far and only a select few ...
