  1. Should I not work overtime hours if I'm a salaried Exempt employee?

    twinsmom788 replied to Naturally Brilliant's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for years in the State of Texas. Your "overtime" hours are considered comp time which is golden. It just adds up to time you may take off at your convenience. However, I would definitely...

    twinsmom788 replied to Bluebolt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Don't be sorry about expressing your thoughts and opinions. I truly wish I had not heard those comments myself. I've only known a very small number of CRNAs in my life. The majority of my OR...

    twinsmom788 replied to MelodyinTN2015's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    YES...please, please do not go on and on about the situation. Every letter I have ever read is way too detailed and overstated. And please do not blame another person for your actions. 100% of the...

    My son in law is in your shoes. He will be deployed soon for a remote assignment in a war torn country. He will come back changed, of course. My husband experienced this in Vietnam. Blessings and...

  7. CRNAs: We are the Answer

    twinsmom788 replied to Bluebolt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Every CRNA I have known has made comments to me that the anesthesiologists are too picky about high standards. If they would say something like that to me personally, who knows what their practice is...

  9. Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

    twinsmom788 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Considering I am an advanced practice nurse, I think I know this. But I appreciate your insight. But you are just as wrong as you can be with your assessment. Have you worked in licensure? Or on...

    twinsmom788 replied to cristianomiguel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey guys and gals - please just stop! You seem to be telling me to stop twice. I'm expressing my opinions from many years in the OR and the Army. I'm certain that good and qualified CRNAs exist in...

    Oh dear, the vision of the soccer moms! My program was rated #2 in the country at the time by the NLN. What a coincidence.

  13. Student Not Eligible for NCLEX

    twinsmom788 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    We must be of the same day and age! Those NLNs were awful and very predictable in my case. I miserably failed the pediatrics portion and when I took my Boards, pediatrics was my lowest scoring...

    There are many professions and trades that cannot be practiced without a license from the state. Nursing is one of them. Trying to fight the school and the state will serve no purpose. There is no...

    twinsmom788 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    All of this info is based a wing and a prayer. The BON in her state is the one that holds most of the cards. In my experience , there is nothing that can speed the BON up, unfortunately. Good idea, in...

    twinsmom788 replied to cristianomiguel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I obviously believe that DO=MD or I wouldn't be trusting my DO with my life. In my personal experience , I have dealt with DOs who were not as well trained as PAs...just saying and FWIW, I'm done...

    twinsmom788 replied to cristianomiguel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And I will tell you why...the first DO I ever met was weak clinically and had to ask the PAs for help in patient situations. She did not score well on the MCAT so she went to DO school. Some PAs are...

    oh dear, my twins have nothing to do with much of this with the exception of what they went through in med school. I am speaking for the most part from my experience of a CVOR nurse with MD...

    twinsmom788 replied to Bluebolt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This sounds like the good proof that I was interested in. I am not so biased as a mother. I am more biased as a CVOR nurse seeing that anesthesia is most important in the OR. I just wish I could...

    twinsmom788 replied to Bluebolt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Oh my goodness, "dating a med student , etc, " makes one an expert on their training? If you are not a physician, you have no idea. Wow, I was an OR nurse, CVOR for 10 years and saw anesthesia up...
