    Doctor Anyone?

    For me CRNA and getting my DNP is what I want; however, to me there would be nothing cooler than being an Intensivist if I went to MD school. There are some that do it, but the best medical track is...

    Anyone else feel this way?

    No it does not matter who your nurse it, but being a Male Nurse ROCKS!!! I mean where else can you go to work and see someone bash in a TV with a trash can, chase someone down a hall, run a CODE...
  3. The one bit of advice I would give is that no matter what, remember you are in a nursing program to learn. Yes you can intubate and do a million more things than most Med-Surg nurses would ever dream...

    Why in the world would you go lvn route???!!!??!

    Nothing wrong with becoming an LVN/LPN. Many were CNAs before or even UAP (Unlicensed Assistive Personnel). You mentioned that it is not the top of the mountain for you, and that is your choice. I...
  5. I am not a peds nurse by specialty, but I have taken care of pediatric patients and am often requested since I am fun and communicate well with children (I have a lot of younger siblings). There is...
  6. Sanovin- My best advice for choosing a school is to look at the clinical experience that you will get. It was mentioned above that you want to be a full service provider, not someone's lackey. You...

    TWU vs MS

    When deciding between a DNP and MSN program you need to look at what the market will be wanting and needing in the coming years. DNP is what I chose since my career in anesthesia will span roughly 40...

    I got in! Now what?

    Since I've gotten in I have felt ready to start studying, but I have forced myself to relax and remember to enjoy these last few months of peace before I

    Fat nurses

    I really have to "weigh" in on this. There are many nurses with BMIs that are above 25, yet none of them I know are bad nurses. Yet there are some skinny ones that aren't that great. Being a good...

    Is becoming a LPN a good career

    Depends on your area but typically RN is the better choice. LPN is good but pay isn't what RNs make. However, if you can do an LPN program without much wait then you can always bridge
  11. I just wanted to start a thread on here for anyone attending Murray State. Any advice, comments, concerns? I feel so relieved to have gotten in and very excited to start
  12. I have resisted joining Facebook for so long. I doubt I will join so I won't be in it the Facebook thread. Haha. Glad we are getting a group of people together who are attending. I agree that we need...
  13. I'm not a srna there but I have an acquaintance that I know in their program. They say it is difficult and demanding like most programs; however, they really like it. I know you have to take a...
  14. Are you excited? What are you doing to prepare? PM me sometime, I would like to start meeting fellow

    BSN-DNS anesthesia

    Good Excuses for Missing Work

    I have called in twice in two years. Once for profuse vomiting and the other because I was snowed in. However, a salt truck came through no joke 20 minutes later and I made it 3 minutes late. My...

    Stereotyping Male Nurses

    I am a male nurse and have 3 male nurses in my immediate family. I am best friends with a male nurse and all of us combined have only met one or two gay nurses! If someone has a backwards perception...
  20. I'm a sucker for Nike shox. I love them but sometimes they wear awkward and can bother your feet later. I have had 4 or 5 pairs and I flip between four work shoes now and two are shox. Make sure you...
