  2. "Many of your classmates will not be nurses"

    JoseQuinones replied to JoseQuinones's topic in General Students

    JoseQuinones replied to HoneyBeGood's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you want to use the hammock in my back patio, I've got the seclusion and the tropical island. You will have to take an 80% pay cut

    JoseQuinones replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  6. Reflect on this! IMPORTANT!!

    JoseQuinones replied to WeAreOfPeace's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Not to nitpick, but the word "godly" is a positive adjective, not a negative one. It is used to denote good things, like righteousness, compassion, holiness, and faithfulness. You're looking for...

    JoseQuinones replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  9. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

    JoseQuinones replied to rolexcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All I can say to this posting is, AMEN. I never would have considered going to nursing school until I learned about CRNA's. That was the spark that got me to consider nursing as a career. Now I am...

  10. scared and i haven't even started ! Eeek

    JoseQuinones replied to nicky73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I might be a bit biased on this one, but take the time to learn another language, like Spanish. I just got back from visiting my sister in Minnesota (she's a CNA) and it was amazing to me how many of...

  11. What would you do in this situation?

    JoseQuinones replied to Stressismyname's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just one quick point, keep your e-mails short. I supervise twelve people in my day job and I do not have time to read more than a few sentences. At times when they get too long-winded, I summon...

    JoseQuinones replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

  15. Just Failed a Drug Test to get into Nursing School Can I take another one

    JoseQuinones replied to kobefan24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take a quick trip down to Mexico or here to the Caribbean and see the lives your "harmless" weed destroys. Better yet, take a road trip closer to home to Chicago, where more than half of the...

  16. Etiology of general anesthesia?

    JoseQuinones replied to JoseQuinones's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks to everyone. You truly helped. My presentation is this Friday, so fingers crossed. @NursingStudent2015, that is a very fair point, and truthfully, I was not assigned any in particular. Just...

  17. Etiology of general anesthesia?

    JoseQuinones posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello, I have to give a PowerPoint to my pharmacology class about general and local anesthesia. It's a general class project, and so we've all been assigned different medicines. We must work into...

  18. Do I have what it takes to become a CRNA?

    JoseQuinones replied to cdbranch13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  19. New nursing student

    JoseQuinones replied to Devinegift's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Start working on pharmacology now. Get Hencke's Med-Math or a book like that and start going through it. Pharmacology is not hard, it's just that there is a LOT of it. So expose yourself to the...

  20. Non-nursing major to CRNA vs. Pre-Med

    JoseQuinones replied to noahJD's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nothing is certain with the DNAP requirement yet, at least not as far as I can discover. I have been doing a lot of looking around on this since anesthetist interests me too (though to be fair, I...

  21. Frustrations of an older student

    JoseQuinones replied to suzilks1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's a big move, but you could try Interamerican University in Puerto Rico. They only require a 2.5 to get in. Great weather, kind people, learn some Spanish to expand your resume, and graduate in...

    JoseQuinones replied to LookForward's topic in General Nursing

    In my first week on the job in an unrelated field, I screwed up royally and lost the company a major long-term client. My boss's boss called me to her office and chewed me out good. I mean good....

  24. ICU Nurse needs advice

    JoseQuinones replied to Socrates12358's topic in Nursing Career

    I have been on both ends of the spectrum, as a new employee and as a boss of new employees, training them. High-stress, high detail jobs like nursing and the field I am leaving can really wring you...

  25. Is it worth it going to a private school for BSN?

    JoseQuinones replied to coolinbysound's topic in General Students

    I agree with everything you say, except perhaps about delaying schooling because the market is saturated with nurses. It seems to me that it makes more sense to get through the BSN and start getting...
