1. Anyone used Picmonic? Cool interactive study tool?

   SleeperHold posted a topic in General Students

   I found it looking for mnemonics while studying here in CRNA school and I am amazed at how easy it is to remember information from this format! Ace USMLE, COMLEX, NCLEX and MCAT with Picmonic It's just like all the silly mnemonics you already use but...

2. Wolford College CRNA February 2016 entry

   SleeperHold replied to hopefulSRNA's topic in SRNA

   I started in February and I disagree with Turner_SRNA. In fact I think he/she is a troll. Threse nobody in our February class with that name. I've asked around too (our class isn't that big, 27). Turner made an account and they are lame. The Doctor t...

3. Unsuccessful CRNA Student

   SleeperHold replied to Yppah's topic in SRNA

   What a downer. I'm sorry. Have you given up the hope of being a CRNA? There is always the DNP route if you are interested in that or if the OR is your bag, a Surgical 1st Assist would be cool (IMHO). If you are still interested, use this as fuel to g...

4. Male nurses in OB

   SleeperHold replied to Jake_snake's topic in Male Students

   Men do it some. However, seems like it takes a really special sensitive type. The kind of guy that is in the ICU or ED is NOT that guy. At least where I used to work, it was like that. If you are interested, take the bull by your sensitive hands and ...

5. How long is to long, to study for the NCLEX-RN?

   SleeperHold replied to Krispooh's topic in NCLEX

   This is the thing, in school you cover SO MUCH material. The longer you wait the more that material leaves. Take the test soon. If you don't pass the first time SO WHAT?! Learn from it and do it again. The pass rates for 2nd time takers is a lot high...

6. Is Picmonic Worth It?

   SleeperHold replied to Rew3n's topic in General Students

   I have been thinking about getting it for CRNA school but i am having a hard time coughing up the $300+ dollars for the Med School Option. YUCK!

7. What Can't You Live Without?

   SleeperHold replied to portx's topic in General Students

   A good study group. We had so much fun making up silly mnemonics and stories to remember drug names and biologic processes. It was great. That being said, if you don't have a group, you can always do that stuff alone, it's just not as fun.

8. Do you disclose AN to coworkers

   SleeperHold replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

   Personally I think it's bizarre so many of you will not disclose you AN participation. Hiding anything?

9. Entitlement/ superiority attitude of some nurses?

   SleeperHold replied to Infofreak411's topic in Relations

   I may be off but it seems like this entitled attitude is prevalent with this early 20's generation right now. Some are so rude, and they all want to charge after being a nurse for a day. I watched an SI nurse lay into a rad-tech for moving a patient...

10. Wolford College CRNA February 2016 entry

    SleeperHold replied to hopefulSRNA's topic in SRNA

    (I think you mean Turner) I couldn't have said it better myself. As nurses, we need to stick together joining and supporting our respective groups like AANA. If we truly want to advance our profession as nurses we must band together. Bickering and sq...

11. 'Right to Die', what's your take on it?

    SleeperHold replied to Shari888, BSN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I really like where you said "I'm not saying that just because I couldn't do these things...well, that doesn't mean they should be illegal." It's easy to think the two are equivalents. Strong point you make, they are not. Really caught my attention ...

12. Should I leave this racist town?

    SleeperHold replied to ChutneyFries's topic in Relations

    1+ well except I'm not middle-aged oh and I'm not a white lady 🤓. My heart hurts when I hear stuff like this. Just know not all white people are like this. I love all my coworkers because they are great hard working nurses, irrespective of the ra...

13. My patient committed suicide last night

    SleeperHold replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry to hear this. Psych nurses are amazing, hang in there.

14. How long is to long, to study for the NCLEX-RN?

    SleeperHold replied to Krispooh's topic in NCLEX

    I studied for a month and passed, I think doing tons of practice exams did it for me.

15. Wolford College CRNA February 2016 entry

    SleeperHold replied to hopefulSRNA's topic in SRNA

    I personally know the guys that are speaking on behalf of Wolford. I have been here a while, though I am not very active per-say I have been a member longer. Likewise I am a student at Wolford. Turner is entitled to his/her opinion, but IT IS ONE PE...
