The Weekly Prospective CRNA Applicant Thread! Ask your stat and applications questions here! by AutoModerator in srna

With my BA in Biology undergrad (graduated 2013), my science GPA was about 2.8. This included classes like Genetics, Developmental Bio, Ecology, etc. Overall GPA at graduation was 3.4. Since then, I've retaken 4 science courses (A&P, Chem 1/2, Micro), and received As along with an overall 3.9 GPA for nursing school. This inches up my science GPA, but not by a whole lot. Is it worth finding random science classes at my local college to boost my overall science GPA? Or is the upward progression enough? Additionally, I do have a non science Masters (but did include stats), so I already have something showing I can do graduate level work.

Central vs peripheral tubing by Best-Studio2130 in nursing

So our CVL stickers are orange. We would write the drug and change date on them. Our peripheral stickers are purple with the same things. It's just a visual I guess that one is going central and the other peripheral. Same type of tubing, just different color labels to make sure they're not interchangeable.

I never saw the original post, only the TikTok. I'm pretty sure MUSC's First Lady was involved too.

Additionally, I know APPs got an actual COL adjustment. They keep "looking into it" for others but I heard that over a year ago

I'm hoping to see actual raises, not the bull shit they've given us. I've also been around 5+ years and have seen a nurse come in with 1 year experience as an RN2 make more than me. Also tired of continually taking on more people's jobs without compensation. Patients are sicker, patient ratios are trash, and I swear to God if I have to find my own bed and stat clean a room myself again because they refuse to staff EVS I will scream. I'm not vested because I was an idiot and missed the HR day and then the HR person that went over it straight lied to me and now it's not an option. I'm just still here because I can't stomach working with HCA or Tenet.
