CCRN86

I had a patient's wife pass out while I was hanging blood. She didn't warn me and I didn't think to ask her. Now I always ask if they're ok to stay in the room. Luckily she landed in the soft recliner behind her. She knew what I was about to do and told me later that she knew she would possibly pass out. I'm glad she didn't fall!

O M G.... that is disgusting

As someone just accepted to CRNA school, this was really helpful. Learning to be a "nursing student" is going to be a huge change. Emotional toll, not ready for it...but ready or not, here it comes! Thanks for sharing and for the advice.

Looking for people who got into LSU and begin May 2014. Someone has already started a facebook group for us! Looking forward to meeting everyone and hopefully we can all help each other out in the future! :) facebook.com/ashleyjacobi

I finished my BSN online from UTA. I was just accepted to CRNA school... none of the schools seems to care. They just want you to have a good GPA.

Hey everyone! I interviewed at LSU on 10/8 and was told right after the interview that I was accepted. It was very quick and laid back. I am so excited! Anyone else that's going to be c/o 2017, add me on FB so we can get to know each other! Anyone know what is a good area to live there? facebook.com/ashleyjacobi

I see you posted this a year ago. I'm in the midst of applying to schools. Did you get in anywhere?

To be vague, I am "considering" an offer from Methodist Dallas Medical Center in the Surgical ICU. Apparently, the acuity is high, and delightfully, the pay is high. I interviewed at other places, one most particular, that obscurely and alarmingly warned me about this position. These people seemed trustworthy, but I was skeptical about whether they were just saying certain things in order for me to accept a position at THEIR facility. After reading posts on allnurses.com, I see the same things I was warned about. However, they're pretty outdated. There is no manager in their SICU right now and the Critical Care supervisor is taking over managerial duties at this time. Change of managers is one of the major reasons I left my last job. Does anyone know about or have any experience at MDMS SICU?

hey beezirn, i was just offered a position in the SICU at dallas methodist. how did you like it? what was the amt of past nursing experience you had when you were offered 34/hr? i saw it was an old post. hope ya see this and thanks for any help/advice you can send my way! :)

I just passed last week. I watched the Laura Gasparis DVDs and then studied her examination questions book. It is divided into systems and has good rationales for each correct answer. Good luck.
