  1. suggestions on classes

    ckh23 replied to star76's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think it is necessary to retake all of those classes. What you should do is get A's in your BSN program and then take some grad courses and get A's in them as we'll and show them you can...

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

  3. CCRN needed for SRNA?

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

    Depends on the program. Some might place a high value on it and others not so much. If they ask just tell them you are scheduled to take. The invited you for an interview so they are interested, but...

  4. Taking an ADN course, RN to BSN bridge, then CRNA

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

    Schooling is only one piece of the pie. The ad coms look at many different things, such as grades, experience, references etc. I took the same route you are planning to take. I did my ADN at community...

  5. Discouraged NP Student

    ckh23 replied to mjjohns24's topic in Advanced Practice

    If you keep reading the forum you will find they bash PA's too. In fact the only people they don't bash are each other for the most part. You will find that most of the members there are med students...

  9. Phamacology(DRugs are killing me)

    ckh23 replied to KellyT1001's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would focus on the class of the drug instead of each individual drug. The MOA for each class is basically going to be the same. So if you know how ibuprofen works, than you know how motrin works,...

  11. Mandatory Flu Vaccines- How do you feel?

    ckh23 replied to Snowbird17's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Every flu season it's the same thread. Yes you do have the right to refuse the vaccine, just as your employer will have the right to terminate you or suspend you until after flu

  12. Sickle Cell Crisis and Pain Management: Pathophysiology

    ckh23 replied to Soliloquy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Another reason is because of what pain does to the body. Increases in HR and BP, that can be seen in patients with pain, can make the crisis even worse. When your BP is going up, your vessels are...

    ckh23 replied to Happy_RN123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I make my own on my iPad/iPhone for grad school. The app is flashcardlet. I like it because I can keep all of the cards with me without carrying around a million index cards. They also provide a...

    ckh23 replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    What idiot wakes someone up in the middle of the night to assess their pain. Good for you for using your head and common

  18. I got in, but now I'm not sure I can go.

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

    It's a tough call. To me it doesn't make sense to wait a year and run the risk of the same thing happening. How far away is this clinical site and how long are you there for? Is it possible for you to...

  21. I got in, but now I'm not sure I can go.

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

    Have you spoken to the program director? I think that would be the best place to start. My program allowed someone to wait and gave them a spot in the 2013 class. What is the point of waiting a year...

  22. My transcript and becoming a CRNA

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

    They might, it depends on the program and the people on the ad com. I do believe a majority of them look at your science grades. A strong recommendation is to take grad level courses and getting A's...

  24. The cost of a Ace wrap

    ckh23 replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    That may be the line that hospital is saying, but the reality is that hospitals have to overcharge for equipment and supplies to make money. If they charged face value for this stuff they would not...

  25. Asymptomatic hypothermia

    ckh23 replied to bioniclewoman's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone is different. He could have been going through a cold sepsis as well if he was getting IV ABX for pneumonia. As for the oncoming nurse, you just inform them (and document) that the patient...
