  1. Insecure about not graduating nursing with honors..

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Mshustler's topic in General Students

    No one will care about this but you! As long as you pass the NCLEX, you're hire-able. Regarding grad school--just get the best grades you can. I didn't get into Sigma Theta Tau, and many of my...

  3. Nursing Experience for CRNA school

    m1lkofamnesia replied to nurserobinson281988's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't know this person, but this is extremely odd if he's truly only been a nurse for 11 months. IF he's only been a nurse since January, how was he able to take the CCRN already...? Uhhh...in order...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to NewCRNA01's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    m1lkofamnesia replied to CardiacDork's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This!!! I've been in full-time clinical for a little over a month now and I love it (and I/my back felt "burnt out" after only 2 years of ICU). It's awesome having one sleeping patient at a time :)....

    m1lkofamnesia replied to icuCCRNurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Gunship's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First of all--thank you for your service, sir. I would say the average age of my class is late 20s-early 30s. I think our youngest students are currently 25 (several of them), and our oldest is in the...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to laundrypodkebab's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Take it one step at a time. Get the anxiety under control and get through nursing school. See if you like it, and if you like ICU nursing (try to get an ICU rotation). You may like it or hate it--it...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    Sounds just like my class. We had to have 85 to pass the class as well, and we also had to take a Kaplan exam as our final. No one got an A on the Kaplan thing, but we all managed to pass the
