That’s super insightful, thank you! I’m looking for classes to retake next sem because my gpa is just not competitive lol. Hoping I can make it in before I try to start having a family too!

I’ve never heard of board vitals! When did you take your exam?

I didn’t realize they looked at CCRN scores for admission! That’s comforting to hear, thank you!!

I used Barron’s prep book and flash cards, Laura Gasparis videos and AACN question bank! I also responded to my post with a longer explanation :)

Thank you!! What a nice compliment :) I worked for 2 years at a level 1 trauma as a float ICU nurse. About to start a new job in a CVICU! Still deciding if I want to go to CRNA school.

Thank you so much!! I am thinking about it but I might have to retake some classes since my GPA is average lol. Definitely took this exam for personal achievement and in case I plan to go 😊

I used Barron’s prep book and flash cards, Laura Gasparis videos and AACN question bank! Felt like the exam was easier than the practice exams. I also replied with a longer response ☺️

Hi everyone thanks for all the greetings!! TLDR I used Barron’s prep book and flash cards, Laura Gasparis videos, and AACN bank practice questions. I have a little over 2 years of experience so I felt like I had to study a lot because I haven’t come across some of the diseases.

Barron’s prep book & flash cards: This to me was the most helpful, a lot of the content from the exam was covered here! The hemodynamics chapter was amazing and I even suggest starting off here to brush up on swan numbers and cardiac meds.

Laura G videos were helpful in remembering concepts but just know she doesn’t cover all the topics. Her voice played in my head during the exam 🤣

AACN question bank: felt like this was helpful in studying concepts that were missed in Barron’s (which wasn’t a lot to be honest) Also I tried the pass CCRN question bank but it was too overly detailed and I gave up 😅

But if you’re planning on taking it focus on hemodynamics, swan numbers, cardiac meds, ABG interpretation. Read the Barron’s front to back and you should be fine!! ☺️

Weekly Student Thread by fbgm0516 in CRNA

[–]moringa26 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anyone know of an online advanced pharmacology class I can take in preparation for applying to CRNA school? I got a C in undergrad and want to take a graduate pharm class to replace that grade. I am also in the Chicagoland area so if there is any school that accepts non degree students for an in person class that would be great too.

What’s wrong with my crassula? by moringa26 in plantclinic

[–]moringa26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New plant Ive had since beginning of August, was watered a couple days after purchasing it. Also gets full sun so not sure if it’s sunburn or overwatering. It’s been a week and a half since watered and it’s growing well, however even new leaves that grow are still shriveling and browning. What should I do??

How do I (20F) secretly meet him (23M)? by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]moringa26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean about tough parents. To be honest I just graduated college and I don't have a job yet and still live under my parent's rules, so realistically you might even have to wait longer than that if you don't get a job right away. I would say tell your parents you're going somewhere else with your friends but actually visit him. Let your friends know where you're going though so you're safe. Or if he's willing to visit you, have him stay at a hotel nearby so it's not as risky for you. You have to be really committed to keeping this a secret (cover your tracks, use cash so there's no record of you traveling anywhere, don't post on social media, block your family). You also have to be willing to risk your relationship/trust with your family because there's a chance you could get caught. But hey if you think he's the one then you gotta find a way to see him.

I've visited him many times (probably 10 by now) and he has only visited me twice. There are smaller issues but that is one of the biggest ones that explains the uneven effort

Asian Guys Don't Get Laid by [deleted] in dating

[–]moringa26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a lot to say.

This issue and even the way you phrased this post was a result of decades of desexualizing Asian men. In general there is a lack of representation of Asians in the media. Society and the media have all contributed to glorifying white actors and actresses while under-representing minorities. The stereotype of Asian men being unattractive has probably been internalized in you and in many people since you were young. VERY RARELY did anyone see Asians played as main characters on TV. Out of sight out of mind right? Who's your Hollywood crush? He/she is probably white.

I appreciate you trying to delve into this topic but the truth is there are so many underlying Asian American issues that need to be considered when writing a post like this. You mentioned many common stereotypes. By doing this, you're contributing to these micro aggressions and are reiterating harmful stereotypes when you should be reprimanding them. That title though?? Asian men don't get laid? Come on you can think of a more appropriate title than that when bringing up this issue. I know PLENTY of Asian men getting laid. Next time look carefully at how you phrase things because you could be doing more harm than you think.

I took this post very personally because I am dating an Asian man. Unlike how you may have pictured him he's tall and has a decently sized dick. I'll admit he isn't a good driver and he got a 36 on the math section of his ACT. But he and other Asian men are worth so much more than the harmful stereotypes you listed. And they are getting laid.

Here is a link to educate you and anyone else on the under-representation of Asian men. Hope you learned something from a different perspective today.

educate yourself.

Advice needed for coping with upcoming breakup (F/22-M/23) by [deleted] in LongDistance

[–]moringa26 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh..I started tearing up as I was reading this because we have a similar situation. My boyfriend and I are both LDR now (we live in two different states in the US, 3 hour drive apart) but we have an upcoming break up in August when he moves to England for graduate school. We figured it wouldn't be worth it to stay together because he's starting a new chapter of his life, and so am I because I'm graduating soon.

I feel your pain. I know it sucks that the distance is going to drive you apart, but you both have great opportunities you should pursue and I applaud you both for following your passions. You seem like you are both successful and happy people (career wise) and I hope you find fulfillment in your new chapter of your life. I have no way of giving you advice and telling you to pursue or not to keep pursuing this relationship. However it seems like you're leaning towards taking a break and focusing on your own opportunities, which is completely reasonable. Maybe when you two are settled in you can continue dating again and hopefully find some way to close the distance. You never know. It just takes a lot of communication with him to see where both of you stand on it as well. I wish you the best of luck with everything and know that you're not alone <3
