  1. Trouble getting into CVICU

    emb92250 replied to 8-ball's topic in Travel

    Come to the CVICU at Cape Fear Valley in Fayetteville, NC (called CSICU for cardiac surgery ICU). We hire travelers all the time, and when I was a traveler I told them specifically I did not have...

  2. Adult ICU RN consindering NICU

    emb92250 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I've been an adult ICU nurse for 4 years now. I eventually want to be a CRNA. I have applied to a few schools, one of which I was not granted an interview (my organic chemistry grade was a C, they...

  3. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    emb92250 replied to guest956031's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think by now we should all know if we have an interview or not. I got my email yesterday saying I didn't meet requirements. I'd say if you don't have an answer one way or the other, just call or...

  4. Seeking advice from all you Introverted nurses out there...

    emb92250 replied to jk2185's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm really introverted, but I do exactly as you do and put on the act. My advice is, if you want to continue to be a nurse, step away from the bedside and do other stuff. Surgical nurse would be good....

  5. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    emb92250 replied to guest956031's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, I guess my email promoted the admission team to look at my file. I got an email stating I did not meet the admission requirements. Because my organic chemistry grade was a "C." It needs to be a...

  6. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    emb92250 replied to guest956031's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just received an email back from Baylor about interview dates. They answered 5 minutes after I sent my email. That's FAST. Here it is verbatim: "Interviews will be held on Friday, August 19and...

  7. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    emb92250 replied to guest956031's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm pretty sure I saw somewhere that Baylor's interview dates for Jan 2017 admission were around Aug 18th. I hope that is right, because that's what I've been planning for and I'll have to plan to fly...

  8. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    emb92250 replied to guest956031's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh my. You've applied all over! I applied only to Baylor. It's the only one I justify moving from NC

  9. Feeling like the dumbest nurse on earth

    emb92250 replied to Aloe_sky's topic in First Year After Licensure

    She sounds like a *****, lol. I was a new grad in ICU, my orientation was about 3 months, and then even after that the other nurses looked out for me. I remember when I was off orientation, my patient...

  10. Giving up my dog

    emb92250 replied to Bsb5685's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I haven't read all these comments, but wow. People are mean. My husband basically had a panic attack when we finally got our dog (he was 5 months old). Always wondering how we would be able to give...

  11. Day in the life of a CRNA?

    emb92250 replied to firefly101's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You need statistics for sure, and in order to do statistics you have to have a very good handle on algebra and using a graphing calculator. Also, lots of programs require Organic Chemistry, which...

  12. What is it like?

    emb92250 replied to paolahevia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CRNA's, from what I understand, have kinda the same deal as RNs. They can choose to work per diem (a handful of shifts per month), part time, or full time. You won't have to work more than you think...

  13. 10 year old died after I performed CPR

    emb92250 replied to MjHudd's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you had an EKG, and IV, and a pediatric crash cart with emergency medication and defibrilator, you couldn't have done

    emb92250 replied to guest956031's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    How soon do you think we will hear back on interviews? I just checked, all of my application has been

  15. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    emb92250 replied to guest956031's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, back to these GRE scores... I called GRE, the couldn't change the department code, but said they should be able to look up my score with my name, reference number, and test date. So, I'm sending...

  16. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    emb92250 replied to guest956031's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I emailed Baylor and they said something to the effect of being able to find it since the school code was correct. I'm going to mail a print out of my scores with my supporting documents with a note...

  17. Baylor's BSN-DNP CRNA Program 2017

    emb92250 replied to guest956031's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi! I'm applying to Baylor for Jan 2017. I'm applying to several different schools in the country (2 in NE, 1 in Tx, 1-2 in NC) because the school I go to and when is going to likely be decided by my...

  18. Contracts

    emb92250 replied to N-Nads's topic in Travel

    You can't whine about floating, as that is understood for the most part that travelers are first to float, even if they didn't specifically mention it to you. However, if you really do feel like you...

  19. A few good ICUs?

    emb92250 replied to AshleyICURN's topic in Travel

    The best thing to do is interview the hospital when they interview you. I like to ask "why are there travel positions open in the first place?" Is it because it's a terrible place to work at? Or is it...

  20. Help with figuring out pay package

    emb92250 replied to jlshort06's topic in Travel

    I've also heard that as an RN a taxable wage less than x amount is a "red flag" as well. But that's really not true. Like was mentioned before, hourly rates are not reported to the IRS, only taxable...

  21. Removing/duplicating a submission?

    emb92250 replied to Vicbot28's topic in Travel

    Are you sure it is DOUBLE? Chances are one is offering a lower hourly, but higher stipend money. That's how I like my contracts because if you are called off, you still make your stipend money. Also,...

  22. Meps Question

    emb92250 replied to Unbroken's topic in Government, Military

    And apparantly "elevated lipase and amylase" after a cholecysectomy are disqualifying because it is assumed it the elevated enzymes are from pancreatitis. Pancreatitis is a lifetime disqualification...

  23. Travel assignment to Duke University hospital...

    emb92250 replied to Love1another's topic in Travel

    I would love a contract to Duke, but in my specialty which is ICU. I've applied before, but they wanted Level I trauma experience. I got that, then they haven't had any openings since. I appreciate...

  24. Guaranteed Hours

    emb92250 replied to shortstuff52's topic in Travel

    I work for CC and all of my contracts (working on my third 13 week contract with them) have been guaranteed hours. I miss low census, lol. If you can't negotiate a guaranteed hours contract, maybe try...

  25. Finding Housing

    emb92250 replied to ldnurse2004's topic in Travel

    I usually look to craigslist. But also, I like to google (professionally managed) apartment complexes. Compare/contrast price, see if short term leasing is available. Some professionally managed...
