I'm preparing to resign from my six figure job on Thursday. Im a pharmaceutical sales rep that is just totally burned out on the job. I've always wanted to be a nurse and am finally about to take the leap of faith. Im applying to accelerated BSN p...

On on one of my latest psych test the professor had a question comparing tricyclic antidepressants to Wellbutrin. The professor stated the correct answer for the question was that Wellbutrin does not have a potentially lethal dose. I checked the pac...

The oldest person in my SRNA class is 46. In the class who will graduate next year I think the oldest is 52. The class who is graduating this December has five students in the class who are above the age of 55. I don't know their exact age. The y...

As a frequent visitor of allnurses.com, I always found myself checking out what grades, gre, experience got people into anesthesia school. I was recently accepted and thought I would share my stats for those of you who are new nurses. I am a relativ...

House Resolution 615 Over the past few weeks, members of Congress and the American people have come to know the details of the Administration's proposed health care plan. Call it whatever you like, I believe this proposal is nothing more than governm...

Do you give your patient's excuses? Sorry Ms. Smith, I couldn't get your oxygen mask back on because I was taking a pee break. I'm sorry you oxygen levels fell below 50% and you have permanent brain damage. Mr. Jones, I was eating a cookie and ju...

Poor choices should not be rewarded.....period. I don't have a job but have health insurance that I pay for monthly. Hmm.....how did I manage to do this?? I saved, planned and budgeted. It isn't that hard to do. Problem is, a lot of Americans wo...

If healthcare providers aren't paid for their efforts, then you won't have healthcare. I don't work for free, how about you?

You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong You cannot help the poor man by destroying the rich. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot b...

Hmmm....very interesting in that the Mayo Clinic doesn't favor Obama's healthcare plan. Maybe they are on to something.... Mayo Clinic's reaction to House Tri-Committee bill Although there are some positive provisions in the current House Tri-Commit...

In case you didn't know......guess who has their insurance benefits managed by PRIVATE insurance companies. Your Congressmen and women.....all of them. I guess Congress thinks private healthcare is a bit better than what the government offers. Th...

This is information taken directly from the AANA website. If we go with socialized medicine CRNAs will take a pay cut. There is no way around it. Private insurance pays more for the same procedures. Government pays less hence.....we will make less...

I think another valid suggestion would be open up an interstate insurance exchange. Currently you can only get health insurance for the state where you live. Imagine if corporations could offer insurance policies across the nation that were not sta...

here is the latest national unemployment rate from the bureau of labor statistics unemployment rate: 9.5% in jun 2009 historical data hmmm...9.5% nationally.....i don't know about you but when i practice advanced nursing i round up. 10% looks righ...

Oh, I'm sure the White House site is going to show a very BALANCED and fair representation of their health care plan.....puhleez! Just do a google search on CBO Obama health care plan. That is what I did. The first article that came up was this one...

Start over and scrap the proposed plan. When the CBO, a nonpartisan government office let Obama know that his plan will not reduce costs and will not cover all of the uninsured.......why is it still being pushed through Congress? If this plan is actu...

The last time I read the Bill of Rights health care was not listed.

I'm not attacking a political party. I am simply presenting factual data. The Democratic Party has become the Lawyers' Party. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are lawyers. John Edwards, the other form...

The President also said if his $787 billion plan was passed that unemployment wouldn't go above 8.5%. Last time I checked it was in double digits. I don't believe I thing this guy says. He is a smooth talker but his talk is cheap. His plans for fi...

$62k for tuition add another $80k for living expenses for 28 months $140k to $160k in student loan debt is my projection Attending a public university as an out of state student in Miami, Florida. Cost of living is high here.

I'm no expert here so I'll just give you my experience and personal opinion to your questions. I applied for an accelerated BSN program and was denied entrance. I then had to accept a regular BSN program and finished it in 18 months...that was the ...

I'll try to answer your questions. Do I ask for advice all the time, sure I do. I don't ever think I will ever know everything about ICU nursing. If I am unsure of something I'll ask somebody who has been there longer for advice. I think it is t...

I haven't told my current manager about my acceptance into anesthesia school. My current manager is great and I like her. My first ICU job sucked and the manager on the unit was a dickhead. I've already told a few of my fellow nurses on the floor a...

Thanks! I hope it does inspire others to get over the "fear factor" and just go for it. Yesterday I received my acceptance letter to the second school where I interviewed. At this rate I am guessing every school where I applied/interviewed will of...

Did you get your letter via email or via the regular US mail?
