  1. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I didn't know about that, thanks. I'll look into it. I'm assuming I can get in with a BSN

  2. Weed

    Mr_Edwino replied to apsent1's topic in General Students

    Or not hire people that use alcohol in their off-time too

    Mr_Edwino replied to apsent1's topic in General Students

    In some CA hospitals there is a don't ask don't tell policy. There is onboard testing, but after that, just don't come to work high. What you do on your own time is your business and if you...

    Good

  7. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    No, I asked my wife about the gender pay gap and she laughed and said "that doesn't exist." She's also an experienced med-surg nurse, and she says she's never even heard of people making different...

  8. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Oh really? Same education level? Exact same level of experience? Exact same amount of time in that hospital? Same certifications? You negotiated your wage? Not enough information in your post if...

  9. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you you touched on this because there is a lot of truth in what you are saying. ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT! You'll never get it if you don't. Good

  10. Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    So men represent 9% of the entire nursing workforce, which means that most of the people in charge are women, and THEY are paying MEN more money? So why is no one asking why women are paying men more...

  11. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think you probably know a lot about this topic than I do, and I respect your expertise (of which I have none on the topic) but what you are claiming is highly debatable: "EVIDENCE-BASED REVIEW DID...

  12. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Duly noted, although there are seasoned MDs on SDN as well. You make a valid

  13. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sounds like a terrific program! I hope to have such a positive experience in anesthesia

  14. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm very informed, thanks. I haven't been through med school or CRNA school, but OP has and yet he agrees. So maybe it's not so much speculation on my part. Google "CRNA Horror Stories" on Student...

  15. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think everyone here is being too hard on the op. First, he/she gets accused of being a fraud, now he has to defend the screen name, which is really irrelevant to thread. This is his story and...

  16. Best men's watch for male nurses

    Mr_Edwino replied to binggrad's topic in Male Nursing Students

    ...And the topic is what is the BEST, so there is your

  17. Med school drop out, now a CRNA. Ask me anything...

    Mr_Edwino replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I too want the answer to all of these questions. I have no interest in any other area of nursing other than CRNA, so I'm doing all of the other for that end goal. Seems a little absurd that there is...

  18. Where to apply in Orange County, CA?

    Mr_Edwino replied to zackpbuck's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not aware of any hospitals hiring ADNs, new grad or otherwise, I'm sorry to say. You will probably have to apply to some LTC facilities because every hospital system in OC hires BSNs. Did you...

  20. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    What I was trying to communicate in my post is that many of these classes have very vague outlines of what the exam material will be. If you find the classes on quizlet, THESE are accurate and the...

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

  23. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    I know sounds crazy right? Everything is power point. The teachers go on and on about things that aren't even in the exam. Look up the class numbers on quizlets and all the info is there. You will...

  24. National University SD Cohort 55 - July 2018

    Mr_Edwino replied to klm18's topic in School, College Programs

    1. Don't stress the critical thinking test; it's just a general assessment 2. Don't waste your money on books. Buy the med surge and rent health assessments. Everything else use quizlets for...

  25. Taking a paycut for experience?

    Mr_Edwino replied to dropdatslurpee's topic in Nursing Career

    Your rate is about the average nurse pay in the US, maybe a little lower. People in the bay area pay 4K every month in rent for their own
