   manavi replied to jack3636's topic in SRNA

   It depends on why you didn't finish last time.

2. ?CRNA vs a teacher?

   manavi replied to yessy28's topic in SRNA

   Why don't you combine your two interests and become a CRNA educator?

3. I'm in... with one year experience

   manavi replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in SRNA

   Why not? They do it with med students all the time. Cha-ching!

4. I'm in... with one year experience

   manavi replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in SRNA

   I doubt there would be a correlation between passing rate and years ICU experience, too. I was just kind of brainstorming and throwing it out there as maybe a train of thought that someone who really wanted to be cynical might follow, since you were...

5. I'm in... with one year experience

   manavi replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in SRNA

   I think jjjoy's point is that CRNA's with less ICU experience will be less marketable and will have fewer viable employment alternatives to being a CRNA. Although, I haven't heard of any CRNA that actually went back to working as a floor nurse. Stil...

6. Nurse Anesthesia or Pharm D????.......

   manavi replied to tuchiha's topic in SRNA

   You do realize this is a nurse anesthesia forum, right? So, other than the obvious answer that you will get from the folks here, I would suggest job shadowing or even volunteering so you can see real life day-to-day activities of CRNA's and pharmacis...

7. I'm in... with one year experience

   manavi replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in SRNA

   For which school do you serve on the admission committee? Do you have any more advice for prospective CRNA school applicants regarding why they may be turned down for admission?

8. RN or Diagnostic sonographer

   manavi replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Career Support

   Of course not. Are there as many positions open for CRNA's as in Nursing? Does that mean there is a weaker demand for CRNA's than for nurses?

9. RN or Diagnostic sonographer

   manavi replied to NurseHopefulInOH's topic in Career Support

   Think to yourself: how many times have I heard of a nurse getting burnt out versus how many times have I heard of a sonographer getting burnt out?

10. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

    manavi replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in SRNA

    I think different schools have different deadlines, so you should check with your school's financial aid department. I can tell you that at UNE, the recommended deadline for getting all necessary financial aid materials completed and received was May...

    manavi replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in SRNA

    I was also approved at the prime + 4% rate. Maybe if I don't send in the paperwork for a while they'll contact me with some "good news" ...

12. ? for GPA for Texans and other close states

    manavi replied to wallyballie_golf's topic in SRNA

    GPA isn't everything. I interviewed at TCU with a 4.0 GPA and was rejected.

13. Anyone take out $50,000 per year to live?

    manavi replied to ellarose's topic in SRNA

    Well, we haven't had to pay for daycare, thanks to family. But,a coworker told me he's paying $700/month for his 3-year old. (I had no idea daycare was that high!) So, your daycare costs are probably okay. Maybe you could wait a few years until yo...

14. Anyone take out $50,000 per year to live?

    manavi replied to ellarose's topic in SRNA

    Here's my advice: Shop around for different insurers. You are grossly overpaying on insurance of every type: homeowners, auto, health, and life. If you combine all of those lines with one insurer, you will qualify for substantial discounts. Also, m...

    Expenses of $4500 per month with no debt? You guys must be living like Kings! You're gonna need to become a CRNA just so you can support your current lifestyle!
