  1. CRNA Threat

    ckh23 replied to samirish's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think you misinterpreted my post. I was reinforcing your point about having to take nursing theory and other nursing classes while pursuing an anesthesia degree and that is not solely linked to NP...

  2. Reality of Nursing skool

    ckh23 replied to 2bmalenurse23's topic in General Students

    Understandable. Hang in there and work on your time management. Try to get yourself into a routine. The first year is usually the hardest, but as you learn more you will be able to start piecing...

  3. CRNA Threat

    ckh23 replied to samirish's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I can vouch for that because I'm in a nursing theory class this

  4. Anyone applying to Drexel, Excela, Villanova, or Tornetta for 2013?

    ckh23 replied to SRNA4U's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you have no experience than save your money and do not apply. Get some experience and when you hit that one year mark start applying. Most programs that have rolling admissions are usually...

  5. What do you look at when you try to pick out a CRNA school?

    ckh23 replied to Candyn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I looked for a school with a strong reputation, high board pass rate, low attrition rate, cost, etc. I also look at the requirements because I wanted a program that cared who they let it and not just...

  6. Want out of contract

    ckh23 replied to Keri29's topic in Nursing Career

    I would see what your options are within the facility, such as a transfer to another floor. As far as the contract, the devil is in the details. Sure you can break your contract, they can't force you...

  7. question about triple lumen

    ckh23 replied to susto's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If they had a triple lumen in the groin I'm thinking they had extremely poor access or some type of contraindication for an IJ or SC site. In my experience groin lines are usually put in emergently in...

  8. almost got written up at clinical

    ckh23 replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Students

    I think the biggest thing that upset your instructor is that you let the computer open for anyone to access and it is under her name. If the crap hits the fan and something DID happen, it would be...

  9. how long is too long?

    ckh23 replied to dlrrn2010's topic in General Nursing

    Confucius say "Those that sit around and wait.......sit around and wait." I don't know why you have not been actively looking for an acute care job if your future goals require it. There is no time...

  10. Anyone applying to Drexel, Excela, Villanova, or Tornetta for 2013?

    ckh23 replied to SRNA4U's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Depends on the school. You can apply and get an interview to some schools even though you don't have the requirements at the time, but will have them by the time the program would

  11. Needle stick while 31 weeks pregnant. Pt is intermediate + hep C

    ckh23 replied to BEBE1MEE's topic in General Nursing

    While transmission rate is low, I think the fact that it was a sub-q shot is also a positive because the risk for blood to blood contact is lower. Just keep following up with occupational health and...

  12. Is a BSN mostly theory/lecture? Difference from ADN?

    ckh23 replied to ShaynaSmart's topic in General Students

    I did my RN to BSN and I still feel it is just a bunch of crap. Pharmacology and Pathophysiology aside, unless I was going into management or publics health, I found the classes to be useless. It's...

  13. The Year is 2112...

    ckh23 replied to Vespertinas's topic in General Nursing

    I think the world is supposed to end this year

  14. Employee Observations and HIPAA

    ckh23 replied to wildlaurelrn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Sounds like another brilliant idea from

  15. Need job advise PLEASE HELP ME

    ckh23 replied to JenniferA428's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Perhaps you should see if the voicemail is in fact a job offer or

  16. Timeframe for Organ Donation for Brain Death

    ckh23 replied to Nccity2002's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    In my facility, our ethics board will get involved and if no resolution the paitent would be taken off the vent and allowed to have a natural death, regardless of donation

  17. feel silly asking this question regarding etomidate dosaging

    ckh23 replied to NEWER's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I would say do your own homework, but come one. You have to be yanking our chain. A 5 year old can do this math

  18. What is an acceptable drop-out rate???

    ckh23 replied to navycorpsman2012's topic in General Students

    I see these as big red flags. I would stay away. Go with a program that was been established and actually graduates students. There must be a reason for the 80% drop out

  19. Pharmacology online vs classroom

    ckh23 replied to Newtwenty's topic in General Students

    I took one online for my RN to BSN. I enjoyed it because the prof had video recordings of the lectures from past classes so it was just like being in class. I enjoyed that because I could control the...

  20. Financial aid & tuition reimbursement question...

    ckh23 replied to ReggaeRN's topic in General Nursing

    You are not going to get in trouble. Even if you get a reimbursement there is nothing about applying for student aid that will come back to "bite" you. You need the money upfront to pay your tuition...

  21. Villanova CRNA Interview

    ckh23 replied to ERNURSE11's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not sure about the area. I live in NJ and will be commuting. I know King of Prussia area will put you closer to Villanova, but it still might be a 30 minute drive to Villanova. That still isn't...

  22. Is it just me or...

    ckh23 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are the nursing student assignments becoming more ridiculous and over the top, possibly borderline asinine? I just read this post under student forum and I couldn't fathom that a nursing instructor...

  23. ICU clinical troubles

    ckh23 replied to 1969's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What do they expect? You are a student and you are there to learn. I wouldn't expect to be exceling or keeping up with the fast pace. I don't even expect that out of new grads. It is a learning...

  24. substance abuse and schools

    ckh23 replied to hwozni00's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What about personal responsibility? People don't need other people to tell them that drugs can kill. Why focus on heroin? Far more people are killed by alcohol every year than drugs. I'm sorry for...

  25. help with letters of recommendation

    ckh23 replied to missnurse01's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would recommend whoever will give you the best reference. I used a doc, CRNA, and my nurse manager. Some programs will actually specify who they want letters of recommendation
