  1. ABG's

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    I don't want you to get ahead of yourself here but I've been having some fun on this and I thought I'd share. Its a practice exam thing and I think it might help you understand what is what and how...

  2. ABG's

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    Oh ok so you're not too far into this ABG thing yet. Sounds like your questions will be pretty straight forward. Trust me, if you know the normal values and how they affect pH, you'll be just fine....

  3. ABG's

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    OK, I don't have the thing from my instructor. Wish I did, it was really good. BUT, I did find something in one of my books that is kinda like what she put out. pH low = Acidosis pH high = Alkalosis...

  4. ABG's

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    I'm going to look for it, but I'm not sure if I have it. I left alot of stuff at home the last time I took leave. I wish I would've kept that ICU stuff atleast. I just went and Googled ABG practice...

  5. ABG's

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

    Definitely gotta look at those things, pretty much just like that. Telling alkalosis vs. acidosis is the easy part. Just look at pH. First thing to look at. If its low its acidosis, high is...

  6. Seriously thinking about ARMY Nursing

    Someday-C.R.N.A. posted a topic in Government, Military

    Well, I'm back. I was here a while ago while I was doing my CNA course at the local Tech. school. My plan WAS to make my work schedule work with a school schedule, and put myself through Nursing...

  7. Seriously thinking about ARMY Nursing

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to Someday-C.R.N.A.'s topic in Government, Military

    Thanks! I have been working hard, but there's always more to be done! Congratulations on OBLC! Have you been to Ft. Sam/San Antonio before? I really like it here. You should like BAMC, it's an...

  8. Seriously thinking about ARMY Nursing

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to Someday-C.R.N.A.'s topic in Government, Military

    Thanks! And just incase you don't already know, an ADN will get you a direct comission as a 2nd Lt. in the Reserves. (hint hint, nudge

  9. Seriously thinking about ARMY Nursing

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to Someday-C.R.N.A.'s topic in Government, Military

    I just came across this old thread and thought I'd bump it up incase anyone else is thinking about doing the same thing I am. I graduated basic training on Feb. 09, and headed out for Ft. Sam Houston...

  10. Seriously thinking about ARMY Nursing

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to Someday-C.R.N.A.'s topic in Government, Military

    Thank you! Cryst06, thanks for the reminder. My recruiter told me about the rotations (although he was a bit more vague), and I had forgotten about it. That'll be a great experience (I hope). I'm...

  11. Seriously thinking about ARMY Nursing

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to Someday-C.R.N.A.'s topic in Government, Military

    Hey guys and gals, just thought I'd stop by to post a quick update. I went to MEPS the second time on November 2 for the physical. (Already took the ASVAB the first time I was there). I passed the...

  12. Seriously thinking about ARMY Nursing

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to Someday-C.R.N.A.'s topic in Government, Military

    Aahh.. I see. I was still assuming that there was a RN, ASN program, but it appears you are right - it's a straight BSN. That makes sense. Sounds like a good deal to me, provided you're allowed enough...

  13. Seriously thinking about ARMY Nursing

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to Someday-C.R.N.A.'s topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the replies. I think it's sounding like I should just enlist, making sure 91wm6 is in my contract, and go from there. (Obviously considering I qualify) They'll run me through BCT, then the...

  14. Help a new kid.

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to bluegrassboy's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Wade. :groupwelcome: I wish I had your direction when I was 17. It took me almost 10 years in a factory to figure out I wanted to do something more with my life. Stay focused man, don't let...

    Mad props, Bro!! For real,

  16. vomiting blood and alcohol

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to krisssy's topic in Emergency

    I had a similar problem a few years ago. Just about every time I would drink anything hard, I would vomit blood. I also went to the hospital at one point. (That whole bloody vomit thing gets kinda...

  17. Desktop or Laptop?

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to DaughterofRuth's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My vote is for the laptop. I bought a top of the line Sony Vaio desktop two years ago, and I love it. I got a 19" flat panel monitor with it, and that thing rocks! The whole deal set me back more...

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to michw2's topic in General Nursing

  19. Hello I am taking a pole

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to michw2's topic in General Nursing

    I have C.R.N.A. in my username, and I am a pre-core Nursing student. I had assumed that the "Someday" part would have made my non-anesthetist status clear, but I have heard that it is "misleading"....

  20. thinking about going to med school advice needed

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to ICU007's topic in Nursing Career

    Sounds like something that you'll have to ultimately decide for yourself, but it IS possible. I'm wondering which path is best for me too, and trying to remember that it all just seems impossible. I...

  21. First Names & "Professionalism"

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to porsch65's topic in Operating Room

    If I become friends with a Doc, I think that we would be on a first name basis. When we are by the water cooler or on the golf course, he would be "Tom", and I would be "Joe". As soon as patients are...

  22. wearing perfume to work

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to acaringnurse's topic in General Nursing

    As a patient, I can say that I am not generally in a health care setting to sniff the Nurse or Doc. A light fragrance may not bother me, but will it bother a patient in the next room? Sooner or...

  23. Getting Fired because of School!!!!Can I apply for unemployment?

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to mynameizjim's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I was talking about quitting or getting fired with one of my coworkers the other day. He said that his brother is an unemployed student collecting unemployment compensation. He further stated that,...

  24. CRNAs: Are you ever nervous about what you do?

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to Annabelle57's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My first thought when I saw this thread was "Excellent question". I'd love to read some input from our CRNAs and

  25. How do I become a nurse's aide?

    Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to cherylnj81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I went to a local tech school, and got in to a CNA program right away, no wait list. My course is 8 weeks long, two days per week, 6 hours per day. The course, books, name tag, etc. cost me about...
