  1. I can't do this anymore...(VERY VERY LONG)

    MB37 replied to Penelope_Pitstop's topic in General Nursing

    "I sort of wish I would die in my sleep" That's not a good statement to make. Please 1)get off that shift if it's causing you so much trouble and 2)make an appointment to go see someone about your...

  2. How Does CRNA school and clinicals compare to RN school??

    MB37 replied to LovePurple's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks guys. I sort of figured it would be more like a residency, especially in the front-loaded programs. Just wanted a better idea of what I was signing up for. I also just read the similar thread...

  3. How Does CRNA school and clinicals compare to RN school??

    MB37 replied to LovePurple's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    [not kidding] I have a prior BS from a decent university, and I'm in a 15 month ABSN program that sucks all my time away from me. However, it's not that DIFFICULT, per se, it's just time intensive....

  4. BS to RN to CRNA...more difficult than I thought?

    MB37 replied to smf5083's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There are tons of accelerated programs out there if your mind is set on finishing your current degree - I'm in one at USF in Tampa at the moment. I believe that more education never hurt anyone, so if...

  5. Professional dress

    MB37 replied to Becky423's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I bought a pant suit, although I'm thinking about going back for the matching skirt so I have both options. I saw a crew of med student wannabes taking a campus tour recently, and only probably 2/10...

  6. Professional dress

    MB37 replied to Becky423's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm still finishing my BSN, but I did go out and buy a suit a month or so ago. I'm 28 and I've never had the need to own one before. I figured I could wear it to job interviews in a couple months,...

  7. Meeting with Director

    MB37 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So...I'm an ABSN student who will graduate in August. My school had a career day last week, and being a motivated nursing student, I got dressed up and went. My current school has a CRNA program, and...

  8. Already have a MSN what should my steps entail?

    MB37 replied to alexkg13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    And your year (2 years for some programs) needs to be full time. Also, from what I've read here you should be prepared to defend your reasons for getting a second MS in nursing, and why you became an...

  9. Meeting with Director

    MB37 replied to MB37's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Anyone? My meeting is on Monday, and I'd love some ideas of what to

  10. Need help with HESI

    MB37 replied to la student nurse's topic in General Students

    If you're having trouble passing a test designed by HESI, of course you should be studying from their products. That just makes sense. Unfortunately, their products are expensive and don't have many...

  11. Now receiving deceptinve resumes from ADN students: What gives?

    MB37 replied to llg's topic in General Nursing

    Is what they did any different than me putting "CRNA graduation date: May 2012" on my resume (I'm an ABSN student graduating in May with plans to go on to a CRNA program later)? Not one bit. I'm not...

  12. Some answers please, about CRNA school

    MB37 replied to 2bEuroRN85's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can't answer all of your questions, but I'll give it a go. Also, I haven't looked into your schools of choice, so you should of course check with them directly. What are my chances of getting in if...

  13. Two Clinicals at Once?

    MB37 replied to beepeadoo's topic in General Students

    I'm in an accelerated program, so we have MS 1 and psych together for the 1st half of the semester, and MS 2 twice a week the second half - all critical care. We also fit in all of our management...

  14. Things You Do In Nursing School

    MB37 replied to jturpin4's topic in General Students

    This thread is ancient, but I'll throw in my 2 cents - not all of us women have any interest in spending half a semester staring at lady partss either! Would all of you men love to have an entire...

  15. Should ICU nurses receive a higher salary than Floor Nurses?

    MB37 replied to Gia1384's topic in General Students

    I believe experience and education should be rewarded more than one particular specialty (and I plan to go into critical care). I think there should be pay bumps based on years of service, higher...

  16. I'm sad :( Nursing is Hard!!

    MB37 replied to cyncopia's topic in General Students

    I'm pretty sure he just meant care for central lines - the dressing changes are sterile procedures, we're learning them right now. OP, while I didn't fail any checkoffs, I broke sterile field (and...

  17. First semester of nursing school...what to expect?

    MB37 replied to sweetlilme910's topic in General Students

    Hi! I'm in semester 3/4 of an ABSN program, and it's certainly one of toughest things I've done in my life. Congrats on getting in! We did not have clinicals until second semester at my school. We...

  18. LPN students have to give bed bath to classmates

    MB37 replied to vina2550's topic in General Students

    We didn't do it for bed baths, but for head to toe we too had to strip down to a sports bra and short shorts. Guys wore just their boxers. My partner was rather well-endowed in the chest area, so I...

  19. I am so anal about my grades

    MB37 replied to krenee's topic in General Students

    I'm the same way too. I have all As in my nursing courses so far (in semester 3/4), although our first MS I test was a killer! I got an A, but only after they curved it (even with a curve, almost 1/3...

  20. Stop Smoking

    MB37 replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I got the crazy dreams from Chantix too - they were so bad, I felt exhausted every morning when I woke up, no matter how long I'd slept. I couldn't deal with that, so I went back to cigarettes. I also...

  21. Caffeine!!

    MB37 replied to Annieee's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm a happy caffeine addict, and I've never had a physician or NP ever recommend that I stop. I drink about a pot (10-12 cups) each day. Then I switch to tea. Maybe since I also smoke and drink they...

  22. Hi, I'm Thunderwolf and I am a Smoker

    MB37 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm MB37, 28, and I've smoked since I was 16. I've tried the patch, the gum, and most recently Chantix. None of them worked. I've mostly gotten myself to the point where I don't smoke in the daytime...

  23. "Too smart" to be a nurse

    MB37 replied to may8755's topic in General Students

    I get it from my mother, who used her brain to become a teacher (an admirable field to go into, but sort of on the same professional and pay range as nursing - why didn't she get her doctorate and...

  24. No Pharmacology class!!!!

    MB37 replied to nursekrys's topic in General Students

    We had a separate pharm class, but it was 1st semester and I've forgotten a lot of it. However, it's integrated in with Med Surg as well so I'm learning it again. I bought the Pharmacology Reviews and...

  25. Would Business Classes Help with Nursing Career?

    MB37 replied to scw016's topic in Nursing Career

    Sure, especially if you're going into an accelerated BSN program. I minored in business the first time around, even though I had no idea I'd wind up in nursing. We BSN students usually have to take...
