    AliceMay posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are there any nurses who have had heart caths? If so, how was it going back to work? How long did you wait from having the cath to going back to work? Any restrictions once you went

  2. nurses who have had heart caths?

    AliceMay replied to AliceMay's topic in General Nursing

    I know. Even though I've never worked in a cath lab, just having been a nurse made me nervous! But the cath wasnt as bad as

  3. nurses who have had heart caths?

    AliceMay replied to AliceMay's topic in General Nursing

    WOW! 4 caths & 2 OHS! in such a short time period! I hope you're ok now. You weren't allowed to lift or pull for only 5 days afterwards? Then there were no

    AliceMay replied to Justagirl's topic in California Nursing

    Yes, but what kind of time frame are we talking about here? 2 weeks? 2 months?

  5. Licensure

    AliceMay replied to Justagirl's topic in California Nursing

    How much time do you save by doing the walk-thru in Sacramento rather than mailing everything in? I'm wondering if the 500+ mile drive would be worth it? Also, how much time do you save by doing the...

  8. NICU or Med-Surg 1st?

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

    Seems like NICU rather than Med Surg is what everyone is saying would be better experience for adult ICU and CRNA. Would it matter though if the unit is a Step-Down to ICU? Does Step-Down = Med-Surg...

  9. NICU or Med-Surg 1st?

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

    That is so good to know. I was worried that working with babies and adults would be completely different that it would be hard to

  10. NICU or Med-Surg 1st?

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

    I appreciate all your replies. But my question was not whether Med-Surg was necessary before going into ICU. My question was since I cannot go to adult ICU first, should I start at NICU (which I...

  11. To CRNA/SRNA's who were 1st NICU nurses

    AliceMay posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
