  1. what is the difference between a combining form and a combining vowel can someone

    MB37 replied to tiffany311's topic in General Students

    Do you have a med term book? We were required to buy one and are tested periodically throughout Fundamentals this semester (no actual med term class). We use Mastering Healthcare Terminology by Betsy...

  2. CRNA school and babies -- can you have both?

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

    Thanks biotech! I may have been in a crappy mood when I made that post, but it is all true. Honestly, I really do like my nursing school - great profs, classmates, etc., and I believe I'm getting a...

  3. Getting Frustrated w/ Classmates

    MB37 replied to Kathyz's topic in General Students

    100% up to you, but I'd probably go ahead and give them out - you never know when you might need something from one of them. I gave out my 40 page study guide for pharm last semester (just to people...

  4. Good Future? Nursing? Your thoughts?

    MB37 replied to JoeJH07's topic in General Nursing

    Joe - wow, I wish I had some idea of what I wanted to do with my life at 16 - I'm 28, and working on my BSN. One thing you need to do is to start meeting with an academic advisor as early as possible...

  5. Preparation for CRNA

    MB37 replied to nursn2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Again, make sure that schools in areas you would consider living accept that. Many CRNA schools require a BSN, not just a bachelor's in something. If they do, look into whether the CCs in your area...

  6. CRNA school and babies -- can you have both?

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

    Honestly? I don't love it. However, I was rudely uprooted from a city I absolutely loved every thing about by Katrina, and moved here sight unseen when my husband was offered the transfer. It depends...

  7. Can I get a situation review from experienced nurses?

    MB37 replied to MarySunshine's topic in General Nursing

    When my dad got the call a few months ago that his mother probably wouldn't make it until morning, he jumped in the car and drove 14 hours. His sister flew in from out east, and his brother and his...

  8. Extremely tempted by large sign on bonus

    MB37 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    $12,500 over two years is an extra $521 a month. If you work 3 shifts per week, that's an extra $43 per shift. If the shifts are 12 hours, that's an extra $3.62 per hour. How does the pay rate compare...

  9. Know any RN's who became MD's?

    MB37 replied to Anesthetize's topic in General Nursing

    By 1.5 years into your BSN, do you mean that you've almost completed the nursing curriculum or that you're a sophomore in college? You can major in anything and go to med school, although most people...

  10. CRNA Programs w/ Clinicals in one local area?

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

    University of South Florida keeps everyone in the Tampa area. It's a new program though, what have you all heard about it? I'm going there for my BSN currently, and I hope they'll have an info session...

  11. Preparation for CRNA

    MB37 replied to nursn2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you go for a LPN first, you'll have many steps to go through before you can even apply to CRNA first. You need, at a minimum, to be an RN with 1-2 years of critical care experience and a bachelor's...

  12. CRNA school and babies -- can you have both?

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

    Adona, thanks for your input. It is nice to hear about someone else who's struggling with the same issues. For me, it's not about two years - I still have a year left on my BSN, then I have to find a...

  13. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    MB37 replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    What exactly does one do at the beach anyways? I mean, I enjoy the sun and the water, and I like to sit and read for awhile, but I don't understand what's so exciting about it. Am I missing something?...

  14. USF College of Nursing

    MB37 replied to MLH821's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yup, the professors ar USF are really good. Most of them make the effort to make learning interesting, and they really want to help you to succeed. I also loved my patho professor, and he was an MD...

  15. study NCLEX books while in school?

    MB37 replied to sum07's topic in General Students

    Because they contain a combination of: 1) strategies for answering NCLEX-style questions, which is how all of our exam questions are asked during nursing school 2) actual questions, divided into...

  16. Florida nursing salaries - seriously????

    MB37 replied to centralflorida's topic in Florida Nursing

    I've lived in FL for almost 2 years, and been to the beach twice. Between work, school, and my husband and my opposite schedules, there's no time to go. It's been fun both times, but since one of us...

  17. nurses who don't want students

    MB37 replied to crimsondawn's topic in General Students

    That's too bad! All the nurses we work with have volunteered to teach students and have gone through training (don't know if they get paid more, none of my business). I've had exactly one day of...

  18. USF College of Nursing

    MB37 replied to MLH821's topic in Florida Nursing

    The accelerated program isn't very accelerated. After we had all finished our supposed semester 1/4, faculty had a meeting and decided to stretch it out over 5 semesters. This caused some students to...

  19. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    MB37 replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    Yep, I'm 28 and that's about average for my class. We have everyone from 19 year olds to at least two that have said they're in their 50s. You'll be

  20. USF College of Nursing

    MB37 replied to MLH821's topic in Florida Nursing

    Definitely apply, it changes a little each semester. They never told us the exact cutoff, but that sounds about right. I know it was higher than 3.5 for upper division. I'm in accelerated, and that...

  21. Impaired Nurses

    MB37 replied to SR@csi's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I knew a nurse in Louisiana who got a DUI, and he was required to jump through some hoops to keep his license. On top of whatever the courts made him do, he had to go to extra meetings and take a...

  22. CRNA school and babies -- can you have both?

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

    I was wondering something similar - when I graduate with my BSN next year, I will be 29.5, husband 39.5. He especially wants to have kids sooner rather than later, so he's not 60 trying to teach a kid...

  23. Need Suggestions

    MB37 replied to Trolloc63's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You'll also need to take all of the university's distribution requirements - foreign language, western/non-western cultures, some type of art/music, etc. (varies by school) And there will be a minimum...

  24. Patient rage

    MB37 replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question - why was the little old lady sobbing and grimacing? If she reported pain and was obviously telling the truth, why wasn't SHE being given pain meds? Maybe the docs at your facility...

  25. I'm confused about a test question. Help please

    MB37 replied to Sara5229's topic in General Students

    Or D if it said "the only way to keep 'this' patient safe" - "the only way to keep 'a' patient safe" implies that they are restraining everyone there! I was initially stuck between A and C as well,...
