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

    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 less work or any of that. I am simply curious abo...
  2. Does BCLS =CPR?

    I know i should know this, but does it?
  3. Does BCLS =CPR?

    TY, Sir. Applying for ER tech job or something since I just finished the EMT-B course.
  4. 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 operations background and make decent (not great) ...
  5. Anyone quit smoking while in school?

    Been off the heaters for about 40 days or so. It sucks and around test time. when i feel stressed i just grind my teeth instead of smoke. I really had 2 quit, though. I'm 36 and have been smoking 2 packs a day for a very long time. Hell, it might...
  6. What Ive noticed...

    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 F.
  7. The bully strikes again

    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 would berate you. One day I went to his office an...
  8. Pa None Smoking!

    Of course there are plenty of things that I believe the government should stay out of. To expound on these would be to hijack this thread. I have shared plenty of my opinions about what the government should and should not do during my tenure on this...
  9. Pa None Smoking!

    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 distasteful? Are there any areas that should be lef...
  10. Pa None Smoking!

    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 to a toxin that may make them cause them discomfort...
  11. Any other "second career" students out there?

    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 i am taking my pre-reqs and hope to get in sometim...
  12. Pa None Smoking!

    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 one goes, that is also easier said than done. We al...
  13. Pa None Smoking!

    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 that tells them how they can run their business. H...
  14. Ugh. I am a man and that seems creepy. But the guy is old school, so who knows.
  15. 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. My anatomy teacher seems to be a bit like that. pe...
  16. I am doing this now, along with a fulltime job. I will have to officially recommend that this not be undertaken. I work 3 or 4 12-15 hour shifts and i go to class on all my off days. Also, anatomy is much more labor intensive than i thought it wou...
  17. 3 weeks into nsg program, he wants to quit...

    I am a 36yrold former bonehead who is the son of a CNM. She suggested I try nursing way back when. Well, I got out of highschool, went to college on acedemica scholarship and pronptly lost that. Went and fought forest fires for a whle, came back t...
  18. A&P and Micro

    And i work fulltime as well. It is rather tough since i have to study very single day and working throws that off a bit. I am doing well but it sucks. I would say that if you are not in a hurry, don't do it.
  19. Should the General Public See MOSI's "Bodies"?

    Not really an issue to me. A body is just meat, after death, and since these bodies were not stolen and are not being desecrated i don't see any problems. In some ways, it is almost as if the people in question live on.
  20. help! to follow my heart or not???

    i can't tell you what to do but i follwed the path of least resistance and higher dollars. that basically has led me here. now i am 36, bitter and working 50-70 hours a week while taking my pre-reqs to get into nursing school. my life sux but i ha...
  21. Is my schedule doable?

    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 load.
  22. 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 was not as harrowing as all the stories led me to b...
  23. RN to MSN/CRNA. Anyone here do that?

    This is what i saw that caused me to ask the question. http://www.pitt.edu/~nursing/academicprograms/rn_msn_program.html
  24. In my case, it is because i hate it and should never have done it but it paid well so i followed the dollars. now going to work makes me sick so i go to the local juco and i am taking sciences right now. we shall see how things go.
  25. I am asking this for a friend who is a swede. he'd like to see if he can get a job here. i had no answers but i figured y'all would or would know where i should point him.
