  1. RN to MSN/CRNA. Anyone here do that?

    dreatx posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Or know anyone that has done it? I ask because i was surfing around and found one program that claims to offer that option. BTW, no need to flame me for disrespecting your profession or trying to do...

  2. Any Austin Texas nurses here?

    dreatx posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was just curious as to what new grads start out at in this town. i have looked at the salary sites but those numbers seem awful high. the reason i want to know is because i am coming from a network...

  3. What Ive noticed...

    dreatx replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow. At the CC where i am, a "B" is a borderline disaster if you want nursing. There are too many people that just don't get them. A "C" in one of the core sciences might as well be an

  4. The bully strikes again

    dreatx replied to raindrop's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Raindrop, Not a nurse yet but in my current job I ran afoul of an individual that would curse at me and others, told us we were stupid and any time you approached this person for him to do his job, he...

    dreatx replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

  6. Pa None Smoking!

    dreatx replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    Ok mercy, I have a question, Is there anything you think the government should leave alone? To put it another way, should THE MAN pass a law to deal with everything that a large enough group finds...

  7. Pa None Smoking!

    dreatx replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    And what about the people who work in these establishments? Is there some reason they shouldn't be covered by OSHA protections? Are they meant to choose between making a living and not being exposed...

  8. Any other "second career" students out there?

    dreatx replied to oh_wow's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 36 and have been in IT for 10 years, i think. Last few have been moderately unpleasant. My mom is a CNM and suggested i do nursing long ago and i decided to look into it. I am still in IT but...

  9. Pa None Smoking!

    dreatx replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    Personal responsibility is one thing. You have total control over what you choose to eat. Big Macs don't permeate the air. Cigarette smoke does. It isn't a valid comparison. As far as choosing where...

  10. Pa None Smoking!

    dreatx replied to LisaG21's topic in General Nursing

    It's nice to see that people can save money and apply for loans to open a business, then pay taxes on said business only to have people that will likely never use their business push for legislation...

  11. Human Anatomy and Microbiology at the same time...

    dreatx replied to dreatx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All matters on the teacher you get, I think. If you get two hard core no (A's) in my class teachers at the same time, then your doomed to take bolth at once. Yeah, i think you are right about that....

  12. Human Anatomy and Microbiology at the same time...

    dreatx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Is my schedule doable?

    dreatx replied to cjog's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will be fine. Just don't goof off. Consider partying and lounging around a thing of the past and future. You will likely get As and not even feel streesed by the

  16. Is anyone else SCARED, after reading some posts from 1st years?

    dreatx replied to Paula7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Experience tells me that things are never as bad as other people tell you they will be. Basic training was not as horrible as i was told. Airborne school was not bad at all. Fighting forest fires...
