  1. What type of exp. before Acute Care NP?

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Hey folks, I am in the process of applying to nursing school and eventually believe that I may take the Acute Care NP route (only time will tell..). I know that many schools have certain requirements,...

  2. What type of exp. before Acute Care NP?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thanks. Do you mind me asking; why acute care as opposed to FNP? Thanks,

  3. AMA must be disturbed

    CrazyPremed replied to ERNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I don't see this as an attack of NP's who want to get a Doctorate in Nursing; I see this as people who are not medical doctors representing themselves as such. An example of this is the infomercial in...

  4. Which would be better--MSN or Ph.D?

    CrazyPremed replied to catlady's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Just wondering, what is you BA/MA in?

  5. med reconciliation in the ED

    CrazyPremed replied to ern91's topic in Emergency

    Our ER just started using these forms, too. They are given to the patient, and they fill them out to the best of their ability. The only way to completely resolve this is - in my opinion - to hire...

  6. As a NP do you miss bedside care?

    CrazyPremed replied to Love_2_Learn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I work in an ER in Phoenix, AZ and I know of at least two NP's working as RN's. One does PRN work as an NP, and the other doesn't work as an NP at all. When I worked in another state, the hospital...

  9. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    CrazyPremed replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Does this mean that you may not be able to choose a good shift, or you may not be able to choose the area of nursing that you want? Can you clarify? Thanks! Congratulations on getting in!! :balloons:...

  11. Can one really work as an LPN during blocks 3 & 4?

    CrazyPremed replied to CrazyPremed's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for the replies, folks. I've met one guy who used to work to 16's (0700-2300) every weekend while he was in school (as a new LPN). He said it was rough, but he learned a lot!! Keep the replies...

  12. Can one really work as an LPN during blocks 3 & 4?

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Hey folks, I posted this question in the general nursing forum, but it seems that many states don't allow nursing students to sit for the LPN after block 2. So - for the Arizonans in the house - is it...

  13. Wow, my blood pressure is kinda high!

    CrazyPremed replied to marilynmom's topic in Health, Stress Management

    MM I was diagnosed with high BP 2 years ago. I was mad too - I work out on a regular basis (cardio, and intense weight training) have more muscle mass than most guys my height (and taller) and I have...

  16. Micro w/o taking biology?

    CrazyPremed replied to JTwin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To the OP... Microbiology is a very difficult course. It is basically a continuation of the cellular biology learned in general biology. I can understand how some of these classes can push back...

  17. Taking the NET on Wednesday!

    CrazyPremed replied to Nurse-To-Be-Joy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey all, I'll be taking the NET tommorrow at 9 am. Wish me luck. I bought a review book from Barnes and Nobles. It went over biology, chemistry, physics, math, and reading. On a whim, I decided to...

  18. Is it better to become a CNA first?

    CrazyPremed replied to luna357's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's my two cents: There are pros and cons to becoming a CNA. Some of the downsides are: the cost and time of going through a program that will teach you what you will learn in nursing school (in my...

  20. OPINION PLEASE-er triage situation-overwhelmed!

    CrazyPremed replied to Uptoherern's topic in Emergency

    To the OP, I'm not a nurse, but I work as an ED tech in the same area. I actually think that I used to work at the same hospital that you do. No matter how good a nurse/tech/doc someone is, working...

  21. Human Pathophys at RIO??

    CrazyPremed replied to Curious1alwys's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks for the advice. I know that it's being dropped from the curriculum for those of us that didn't apply for Spring 2006, but I need a class for next semester and want the advantage. I'll probably...

    CrazyPremed replied to kateskards's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but I've done many, many hours of clinicals at this hospital, and was offered a job at St. Joe's. The people that work there LOVE it!! I rarely encountered anyone that hadn't been...

  24. RIO Micro Online - Do they ever curve tests?

    CrazyPremed replied to xrayrn's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took it this summer and there were no curves. Actually, the teacher wouldn't even tell me what the class average was!!! I wouldn't fret over it, though. You won't lose a nursing offer because you...

  25. Patient Care Tech Programs?

    CrazyPremed posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    Has anyone been through a patient care tech program? It's seems to be advanced CNA training (inserting foley's, D/C'ing IV's, EKG's, dressing changes, phlebotomy, etc.). I just signed up for one...
