  2. St. Luke's College vs. Central Missouri

    brandiep1982 replied to MissA5150's topic in School, College Programs

  3. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    brandiep1982 replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

  4. Was my professor out of line?

    brandiep1982 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    In response to buscuit 4445: There are a lot of unfair generalizations in this response. I don't see how it is helpful to tell anyone to get a life and stop

  5. Was my professor out of line?

    brandiep1982 replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    Your professor sounds like she has some serious prejudices. This is her issue, not yours. No one can tell you where your priorities should lie except you. Do not change those for anyone. Be strong and...

  6. ive been accepted to nursing schoom for fall should i take a CNA program in the summer????

    brandiep1982 replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in MO. In my area CNAs can easily get PRN positions in residential care facilities. It is much more competitive in hospitals. If you really need the money it is probably smart to take the...

  8. Failed English 101 twice! Need advice!

    brandiep1982 replied to DorianFrancis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take the fact that I failed twice and kept trying and try to give it a positive spin. I would also find ways in which I was responsible for the grades I got, rather than giving excuses (even...

  10. why do nurses hate medics?

    brandiep1982 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    I think it is encouraging to see all the positive responses on this thread. :) Something else I was thinking about (and remember, I came from a fire department as a medic, which could be a little...

  11. why do nurses hate medics?

    brandiep1982 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    It sounds like you are a flight nurse, or something similar... which is completely different than an ER nurse, which is what this discussion is regarding. I think it is pretty safe to say, and I am...

  12. Did you feel CRNA school really prepared you?

    brandiep1982 replied to BritanyLPN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    oh, I just assumed all programs required BSN experience in soecifically the ICU, as all the programs I have been lookig at require that. But that could be because these programs award you with your...

  13. The most annoying student

    brandiep1982 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I totally agree that this isn't how it should be, but it is... And in very well respected schools. My question is this: don't most nursing schools do personal interviews? How do these people get into...

  14. The most annoying student

    brandiep1982 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I hear about ridiculous students like this a lot... no details of course, but some really ridiculous people are out there. However, schools have to really cover their butts. If they don't pass someone...

  15. Did you feel CRNA school really prepared you?

    brandiep1982 replied to BritanyLPN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Don't most CRNA schools require at least one year of BSN work experience in an ICU (and some prefer at least two years), before you can even

    brandiep1982 replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    I think a lot of people are making great points in this discussion. One I found very interesting was the mention of paramedics as nursing students being arrogant... I am a paramedic, practiced for...
