    guest769224 posted a topic in Travel

  2. Finances in Nursing School

    guest769224 replied to poeticlove's topic in General Nursing

    There is not a huge need for nurses. I suggest researching the current job market before you decide. Many new grads have difficulty finding new jobs, and it's predicted to get worse. That said, it is...

  8. 1/16 What I learned this week: Siamese Twins be Pimpin'

    guest769224 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This week I learned that everybody exaggerates how difficult the NCLEX is and that if you prepare, you come out alive. Passed my boards in 75 Q and an official RN now, like most peeps here.

    guest769224 replied to NorCalKid's topic in Travel

    Why is it that travelers are excused from this requirement? Does anyone think this may be a problem in coming

  10. From a RD to RN

    guest769224 replied to Becca014's topic in General Nursing

  11. What steps do I need to take to become a CRNA?

    guest769224 replied to TennesseeNurseToB's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    TennesseeNurseToB, typically a DNAP program is a year longer than an MSNA program, but it varies with each school track. In that case, about 36 months for your nurse anesthesia program. If you...

  12. What steps do I need to take to become a CRNA?

    guest769224 replied to TennesseeNurseToB's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  13. What steps do I need to take to become a CRNA?

    guest769224 replied to TennesseeNurseToB's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I understand. It depends on the area you live in. I live in Utah and got hired into the hospital setting as only an ADN RN. Major metros usually have a BSN requirement to work in acute settings such...

  14. What steps do I need to take to become a CRNA?

    guest769224 replied to TennesseeNurseToB's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would then advise you to consider working as an ICU tech or CNA. If you are a good employee they will likely hire you into ICU when you graduate. Try to get an ICU senior preceptorship placement as...

    guest769224 replied to paramedic90's topic in General Students

    Actually, in contrast to the above post, you do not need a BSN or bachelors to get into an FNP program. There are lots of ADN to FNP programs! Look into frontier university. I know a few people who...

    guest769224 replied to gabbyj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting to read, chare. Do you have any theories on why some schools have dropped the DNP and gone back to MSN programs? Interesting on the CNS proposal as well, wonder if NP will follow

  19. From a RD to RN

    guest769224 replied to Becca014's topic in General Nursing

    I am in the process of doing the opposite! Transitioning to dietetics and doing both. Nursing school admissions should honor your prerequisites, and you likely have experience with patients so that...

  20. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    guest769224 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    guest769224 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

  24. How was your first code blue? What role did you have?

    guest769224 replied to journey2success's topic in General Nursing

    A code blue and a code are the exact same thing. If you're doing compressions the patient is coding. Code blue is more of a floor nursing term. In ICU and ER we tend to use the terms "code, coding",...
