  1. HPSP for NP

    ckh23 replied to jmharrold's topic in Government, Military

    I just accepted my HPSP through the Army for anesthesia school. In the military your pay is based on your rank and you would most likely be an O-1 because you have no experience. You can google a...

  2. Home Care: Meds and flushes via g-tube

    ckh23 replied to nurse4sale's topic in Patient Medications

    Yes, it sounds better that way. I would add the total at the end. "Alternating with 60ml water flush for a total of

  3. CVA causes drowsiness?

    ckh23 replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would have been difficult picking up on it sooner for this patient because of the IV

  4. Home Care: Meds and flushes via g-tube

    ckh23 replied to nurse4sale's topic in Patient Medications

    To me it reads as if you are giving 120 ml flush each

  5. Will I have any trouble with this Rx?

    ckh23 replied to newnurse1986's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This should not be an issue. You are prescribed it and you were upfront about. The only thing they may ask for a verification of the prescription. Your drug screen will only be positive for benzos,...

  6. CRNA JOB MARKET

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

    It all depends. My guess is they probably see you as a threat to their job. In fact I think the need for CRNA's will increase in the future because of access to care with newly insured people and in...

  7. CRNA's working with AA's

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

    My sure you write to your state representative about this and why the bill should not be passed. This is an ongoing political fight that will probably never

  8. Becoming a CRNA just got harder (regardless of what they say)

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

    I don't think it got harder. They are just raising the score you need to pass. If they wanted to make it harder to become a CRNA they would start shrinking the amount of anesthesia programs out

  9. PICU experience for DNP-A program

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

    Depends on the program. Just keep in mind that most of the anesthesia is delivered to the adult population and you have to deal with the co-morbidity you wouldn't see in a peds population, like CAD....

  10. Please explain this to me....

    ckh23 replied to NotMyProblem MSN's topic in General Nursing

    When people have a true egg allergy, it usually from the albumin in egg whites. Just because the egg comes from a chicken doesn't make them allergic to chicken, just like if someone was allergic to...

  11. Front-loaded vs. Integrated--PROS and CONS

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

    I can only speak for the program which I am in and it is an integrated program. So far, I like that it has been integrated because you get exposure to the OR early and are able to start developing...

  12. New program, but still seeking accreditation?

    ckh23 replied to RunninOnCoffee's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You run the risk of having a degree from a non-accredited program. While this may not have too many implications in the workplace, you will definitely have issues if you decide to go on for a masters...

  13. Grad School Question

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

    I got in with a online RN-BSN. Depends on the program, but it is only a small part if the

    ckh23 replied to mandof5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There are also other benefits like free health and dental and no malpractice

  16. Funding the CRNA expenses

    ckh23 replied to mandof5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Depends if you go in as a CRNA or not because there is special pay for certain specialties, including CRNA, which bumps up your

  17. Funding the CRNA expenses

    ckh23 replied to mandof5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Of course, it's just like anything else. There are pro's and con's to both and it's not for

  18. Funding the CRNA expenses

    ckh23 replied to mandof5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It is a scholarship because they don't just give it out to anyone. You have to apply and be selected for it. It is no different then when employers would foot the bill for CRNA students schooling and...

  19. ICU experience (Will NICU be an issue?)

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

    I was going to say that it depends on the program, but it seems like you already have that answer. I would suggest contacting the school and see how much they weigh the different ICU's. That being...

  20. Are CRNA's facing an oversaturation also?

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

    Depends on what are of the country you want to work

  21. Villanova starting Fall 2015

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

  22. Villanova starting Fall 2015

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

    Congrats. I believe they are that far out. You should look into the mainline area. You can also call and they can provide you a list of areas that are located near school. Villanova and Crozer are...

  23. Funding the CRNA expenses

    ckh23 replied to mandof5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got a scholarship through the Army and they are paying for everything along with a monthly stipend. Everyone else in my class did a combination of saving and

  24. Need a simple answer!

    ckh23 replied to Topher53's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not 10 years of straight school, but about 7. It will be about 10 years total if you include your time working in an

  25. Too young/ early in life to be in Nursing Program?

    ckh23 replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    To heck with what the older students think. They just might be a little jealous that you know what you want to do and are doing it while you are young. And kudos to you for realizing your financial...
