2. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

   JEStewart replied to 06crna's topic in CRNA

   @ offlabel: I suppose that is a big factor in what my questions revolved around. I'm sensing a lot of friction between MDAs and CRNAs from the tone of this thread. Wondering if that's luck of the draw in regards to where you work and who might be on...

3. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

   JEStewart replied to 06crna's topic in CRNA

   How CRNA are managed in the hospital - I meant, how does the management company contracted CRNA now work within the hospital on the logistic side of it? Do these companies now dictate where CRNA go on a daily basis? Or is it more like a request made ...

4. Yes, it's possible to go to nursing school and work full time...

   JEStewart replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

   Reading all these stories helps me calm the building anxiety about next year. I start nursing school Aug 2018 - no open spots until then. ? But it turned out for the best because we ended up (surprisingly) pregnant! ? By the time I start nursing scho...

5. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

   JEStewart replied to 06crna's topic in CRNA

   1) You mentioned 12 years experience and getting ready to retire. If I can ask - if you prefer not to answer, no problem - how old were you when you went the CRNA route? 2nd career? Are you retiring because you are at that life stage, or tired of the...

6. Starting nursing school at 37...

   JEStewart replied to LindsayRadun's topic in Pre-Nursing

   35 here and not even accepted into a school program yet. I hope to go on after ASN to get BSN, then I hope CRNA. There's a long path ahead, and I'm not even through the main gates yet to start. Second career, but hopefully one with a better long term...

7. Is neuro that bad?

   JEStewart replied to AZRNallday's topic in Neurological

   What are everyone's thoughts on starting in neuro vs cardiac ICUs as a starting point to get to CRNA school? I know it's totally different, but I have worked in the veterinary field for the last 9 years, 4 of which were in neuro. I loved it. I expect...

8. What do you wish you knew before becoming a CRNA?

   JEStewart replied to Yuliya.M's topic in SRNA

   Aside from the eventually required doctorate information, was there anything that caught you totally unprepared for, or something about the program/job that was a surprise?

9. Job opportunities for new RNs

   JEStewart replied to JEStewart's topic in Job Hunt

   Thanks, everyone for your info! I'll keep an eye on the region and see what develops over the time while I'm in school. Hadn't looked at local hospital websites yet, but I'll put that on my radar.

10. Job opportunities for new RNs

    JEStewart posted a topic in Job Hunt

    I hear as lot of mixed results when it comes to opportunities for new nurses. Sometimes people say there are not many jobs for newbies, others say it's just dependent on the area you're looking. In the couple of states I've lived in over the last few...

12. Used CPR on my neighbors toddler today... it wasn't enough... warning, graphic..

    JEStewart replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I know this may sound odd, but your story helps me realize more about why I want to go into this field. I've been working in veterinary medicine for the last 9 years. I love it, but the future is limited and I need to think about my career future and...

13. Masters/ CRNA?

    JEStewart replied to dgonza_31's topic in SRNA

    Thank you! I have been under the impression that I would need to finish my ASN, get BSN, then finish MSN while working in ICU and getting the certs needed, and taking GRE. Since I'm hoping to start nursing school in the fall at age 35, it's nice to r...

15. Paying for CRNA school

    JEStewart replied to Michichan's topic in SRNA

    The programs I read about near me require a MSN to apply to CRNA school. It looks like it may change to require a doctorate by the time I apply. Either way, my plan is to start working, gaining experience in ICUs, and working my way up the educationa...
