    Are nurses allowed to do research on their floor?

    A lot of instances you would need approval from the IRB to perform research.

    USAGPAN - Army, VA or civilian route?

    the only insight I can offer is that VA employees do get continuing pay on top of tuition but it's an extremely competitive route.

    Tips for saving money/paying for CRNA school?

    While it's not for everyone, joining the military would = free schooling and a paycheck while in school. Sure you have to serve afterwards (and the time commitment varies), but the time would pass either way and the service is invaluable!

    Scary Situation

    Are you going into a residency program? I highly recommend that for a new nurse because it is very focused for the job you will be working, if it is not an option I wish you luck and use icufaqs.org as much as you can. I have also seen nurses let go ...

    Roseman University 18-month Program?

    I Only have a few tests left, I think one, and so far all of my tests have been multiple choice or select all that apply. I have had a couple true false questions. Getting a 90% is very doable because with each test you get a group test and that auto...
