  1. Nursing vs. Engineering

    Nolander posted a topic in Nursing Career

    So I am debating on whether or not to choose engineering or nursing as my major. I have done much much research on both professions, I have also shadowed a nurse that I know during her job to get an...

  2. Advice for acceptance into CRNA school

    Nolander replied to TennesseeRN2015's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  5. How old were you when you started CRNA school?

    Nolander posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Questions are in the title; I'm just wondering what the average age range for students starting their programs

  6. Nursing vs. Engineering

    Nolander replied to Nolander's topic in Nursing Career

    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...

  7. Nursing vs. Engineering

    Nolander replied to Nolander's topic in Nursing Career

    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

  8. 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

  9. Do male nurses wear scrub jackets???

    Nolander posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not talking about lab coats. I'm talking about the thin and light scrub jackets that have buttons on them and the tapered, elastic cuffs. Mostly I see only women nurses and lab techs wearing...

    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

  11. Do male nurses wear scrub jackets???

    Nolander replied to Nolander's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hot? In an OR? Surely

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

    Nolander posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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...

  13. 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....

  14. 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...

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

    Nolander replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    Both of the schools I listed above are CCNE

  16. 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...

  17. 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...

  18. 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...

  19. Blood Stream Infections (BSI) in your unit

    Nolander replied to traumasurgRN's topic in Critical Care

    Does anyone know what the bio-patches are inoculated

  20. I know this an old beast BUT ...

    Nolander replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    OP I could swear you are talking about the same situation I see in my local area. We have one ADN program in my area (that I attend) and a BSN program that is an extension from a university a few...

  21. Are nurses really respected???

    Nolander posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I constantly hear stories of how doctors, fellow employees, supervisors, and disgruntled patients alike always uses nurses as a punching bag. So despite those issues, do nurses really get respect for...

  22. How old were you when you started CRNA school?

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

    What other kinds of interview questions did they

  23. How old were you when you started CRNA school?

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

    If you don't mind me asking, why did you bomb the interview? I'm located in KY, and if I ever went to CRNA school, either the military or Murray would be my first

    Nolander replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    Fall 2013 is my final semester. Yes, there is in fact an externship at my hospital for nursing students during the summer. I will most definitely be applying with hopes of going to the ICU/CCU....
