2. I got a job!At an abortion clinic?

   crna2bkristan replied to rrandle02's topic in General Nursing

   To the original poster, examine your feelings, as others have said. Then make your decision. Maybe you could job shadow just to be sure once they have offered you the position (not an uncommon request in other fields, not sure about this one). Good l...

5. Why is NS so hard?

   crna2bkristan replied to mydee's topic in General Students

   Suggestions to make it LESS hard: Ask questions in class, sit up front to minimize distractions. Get to know your instructors and go to study sessions given by the instructors. Don't do student + student study groups (waste of time) or if you do, fin...

7. ICU experience

   crna2bkristan replied to studentrn1008's topic in SRNA

   No way, sorry. That's my two cents. Few schools accept NICU. You really need adult ICU to be comfortable in CRNA school (and to get in) from what I can gather. Good luck!

12. Thinking about CRNA... Advice PLEASE!

    crna2bkristan replied to golfmontpoker's topic in SRNA

    "It just seems so unprofessional to me. " Elleann UNPROFESSIONAL?!? Are you kidding me?!? Nurses, historically, have been systematically given the cold shoulder, being paid the "woman's wages" to do the "woman's work!" Get real! If we don't sick up ...
