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

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

    Obviously we are in different states and practices because here they do whatever they want. I was saying CRNA education is similar to MDs in anesthesiology (especially in the Army program). You want...

    Dranger replied to montsamana's topic in Government, Military

    Your JAG friend didn't explain the officer process well. Even with your BS in Health Sciences, you don't just waltz in as an officer. If you signed up on the day of graduation in May you would still...

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

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

    I would do CRNA because A. It's interesting and directly compatible with medicine's anesthesiology specialty so you are on the same level with docs more so than NPs IMHO. B. Patients don't usually...

  5. What is in your clinical bag?

    Dranger replied to VAgirl247's topic in General Students

    Care plans never get used in nursing by the way, when a patient gets discharged you click some education boxes and stuff prints out that you hand to them and ask if they have questions. As a nurse I...

  6. MacBook vs. Chromebook

    Dranger replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Integrated chem class: organic, inorganic and biochem

    Dranger replied to ElizabethH736's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It isn't going to be very hard, it samples Biochem, inorganic and organic but doesn't really go into depth with any of them like the pre-med pre reqs require. You'll be

  8. Do you have to do bedside nursing

    Dranger replied to dulcet's topic in Nursing Career

    You are assuming everyone in-patient is literally in a crisis. There are flat out nasty people who are: A. Attention seekers (Fibromyalgia, non-existent MS etc). B. Non-compliant patients with plenty...

    Dranger replied to montsamana's topic in Government, Military

    OK take a deep breath...here's a reality check. You won't be getting in next year and probably not the year after. The enlisted to officer BSN program has been cut in many branches or highly reduced...

  11. MacBook vs. Chromebook

    Dranger replied to FuturePedRN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chromebook times a MILLION. Mine was 200 bucks and has everything you need for school, google docs, word processing, powerpoint capabilities and the internet. Put it this way...300 bucks vs 1500-2000...

  16. 2014 PLU applicants?

    Dranger replied to Just_keep_swimming's topic in Washington Nursing

    I have friends who went to PLU and many in WA ST regard it better than UW for BSN....They have the most clinical hours in WA from what I hear plus the Tacoma area has awesome connections for grads....

  17. Advice wanted: should I continue with nursing at this point?

    Dranger replied to frenchxtoast's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have a passion for it and I constantly get high reports from patients after they do their discharge surveys. Just because you don't have a bleeding heart love for a job doesn't mean you can't...

  18. Macbook Air vs Macbook Pro

    Dranger replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If they were ACTUALLY gamers they would say neither. PC is the only platform for REAL gamers. But with that said I would go with the PRO if you must get a MAC. If anyone says MACs are for gaming they...

  20. Palpations, physical exams on genitals?

    Dranger replied to lissart's topic in General Students

    The closest a guy may get to actually make you uncomfortable is auscultation of the heart and palpation of the abdomen. It's sometimes hard to correctly auscultate a heart without brushing against a...

  21. Force Management - nursing impact

    Dranger replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    I joined to serve as well but if it's in the nation's best interest budget wise that my service is no longer needed I am OK with that. Cuts in a way are a good thing, "trimming the fat" if you will....

  22. Force Management - nursing impact

    Dranger replied to midinphx's topic in Government, Military

    Why would you be worried? Worst thing that happens is you get let go. You are a nurse with experience and can easily find a job. Think about all those infantry and combat guys who get cut....now that...

  24. Military contract and awards

    Dranger replied to faunurse's topic in Government, Military

    Awards should be none of your concern really, this isn't the Boy Scouts. That being said there are some awards you will eventually get for just doing your job like the AAM or even ARCOM sadly. I got...
