My manager asked me "why do you want to waste all that knowledge in nurse anesthesia school?" She gave me a great reference, though she felt I should not leave critical care nursing.

Thanks, this is really great advice - I have decided to tell most people for now that I want to work in ICU and leave it at that.

Oh and Nilepoc, Your begin date - August 8th is my birthday - if yours is the day before, Aug 7th, that would make you a Leo and that is proof enough for me that you'll survive successfully!

I think my post went to the wrong place. Sorry....

Nevermind - My post is in the right place! I am still half asleep and trying to look up PS2 codes for my kid at the same time!

By the way - Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mothers out there!

lgcv,

I am curious, if you do not mind sharing, how did you respond your manager's question? Did it catch you totally off gaurd, or did you already know she felt that way?

Hi Again. Glad you didnt take offense to the science question. I just wanted to warn you how much science will play a part in your academics. I myself have not mentioned my goals to be a CRNA, and now after reading all this, glad I didnt!!! I had kinda heard that before, but wasnt sure if it was true.

I have met too many cranky nurses as a patient, and yall are saying that there are more out there??? lol. I have had some very bad experiences as a child with Anesthesia, and it is the fear that drove me to research anesthesia online and learn all that I could about it so that the chances of the experieces being repeated are less. After researching, I became very interested in it, and that is what started me considering becoming an Anesthesiaologist. But I opted not to for varioius reasons, and now I am going into graphics design. I have not found very many CRNA's or anesthesiaologists online to chat with, and it is nice to see a forum just for them. I hope to continue to have conversations with you all. If anyone here needs any help with the computer, please feel free to email me, and I will try to help as best I can.
