1. Am I Too Old To Become a CRNA

   Imscray replied to Megabyte's topic in SRNA

   I'm 48, about to turn 49, and am a new CRNA student this academic year. I graduated nursing school several years ago (not that many), but I did have a break in between with no academic pursuits. I will tell you that a./ you're not too old, but that...

2. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

   Imscray replied to sallber's topic in General Students

   Interesting reading here. I'm currently in CRNA school, and have experienced exactly this same kind of clinical instructor behavior. Inappropriate and unprofessional behavior, extreme hard-ass on students (even when we were totally green and brand ...

3. CRNA work overseas

   Imscray replied to NeuroNP's topic in CRNA

   Imscray replied to Imscray's topic in Government

   I was an O-3 when I separated in 1988, so they have to take me back as an O-3. Sweet deal, especially considering I got exactly squat for my previous service (no VA benefits, no education benefits, nothing).

   Hi all, I'll soon be 45, and am about to graduate from the Radford University (Virginia) BSN program. I'm a USAF veteran (a Signals Intel Officer from 1984-88). The AF nursing recruiter is making me a *very* lucrative offer. Having had to take thr...
