Hey you could look into army reserve. They are actively looking for CRNA's.They have loan replacement and might even give you a stipend for school. I look into it after school. Really wanted to do it but with a wife and kids it was a little bit too m...

Great job!! Nurses like you save lives. Nurses are the front line in medicine and all nurses know that we are literally the difference between good or bad outcomes. Kudos for not being intimidated by the MD.

As religious nurse I also could not work Saturdays. However I ended up working every Sunday of the month.Even though I did my weekends they're still were some nurses who did resent the fact that I do not do any Saturdays even though I did my share of...

I went to school in ct and that 1st chem class was pretty tough. I personally would not take any shortcuts and take all the classes. The first semester of crna school is pretty stressful and you can some what alleviate that stress by having a strong ...

I totally agree with you. Part of the stress of being a new nurse is prioritizing what to do first. Perhaps this new grad felt it was more important to give another patients there scheduled meds and felt the IV could wait. I am not saying that what s...

""If I took report and this was the situation you'd bet I would say something very directly to the nurse who was sooooo busy. We could debate this all day long I suppose but I still think it's a poor example of an unfriendly environment." I think ope...

Um not really around 90% of the nurses and cna's I worked with are the most compassionate people I know. Nurses and techs are overworked underpaid and unrecognized posts like this just put the nursing profession in a bad light. I think it is were yo...

Hi, I am so sorry for your loss. When I was a student in an accelerated program, my wife delivered a stillborn baby at 39 week. There were no complications what so ever and there were no warning signs to why this happened. It was crazy hard to get up...

I can say from my experience that not all schools are like that. My schooling was great. My professors were on top of us and expected a lot from but they were very supportive. Also not all nurses don't give students the time of day, In my unit we we...

I am also still waiting I guess they still need to make some phone calls since we did not getour rejection letter via e mail.

The program has the highest attritation level that I know of. Also I have coworkers who interviewed there and they say it was brutal interview.

In my CICU in seems that every chf pt we get has a swan and we get number q6h along with a wedge i always wonderd if that is outdated or just a different way to practice.

1:2 with IABP last week I somehow ended up with two( stable) pt both with IABP. I had alot of charting but otherwise it was fine.

I once had got the wrong tubing for blood, I realized that before I hung the blood, so I got the right type of tubing and somehow between unspiking the old (but not used) tubing like 20 cc of blood poured. It looked like a blood bath, all over the I...

O well I just got my letter of rejection via email life goes on , I will try again next year. Good Luck to you guys!!!

I am in the same boat as you I did not get a respond if i am in or not. I heard that if you get in they call you however if you do not get in they e mail you

They are looking for gre score ( in the old gre scoring) of around 1000 500 in verbal and 500 the math portion,they dont really care much about the writing portion. I think anyone who has a gpa over 3.00 has achance to get in. If you want more infor...

I would highly recommend Pitts ABSN program, it is hard but 100% doable. The teachers are very supportive, the clinical instructors are great and I found the students to to be very friendly. The only drawback is if you want to go in to peds or ob th...

Hi everyone I recently took the gre for crna school and did pretty good on the vocab portion (159) and all right on the math portion (145). However I did pretty bad on the writing part of the exam (2.5) does that really matter? I really do not want...

As a general rule i love the ccu, in my CCU we see a lot of stemi's alog with heart failure pts. We also see a nice share of pre and post heart transplant pt. On a regular day I will usally have one pretty sick pt (vented and/or swanned, on pressors,...
