2. CRNA debt load, plus mortgage, kids, single income

   jakeb replied to simvee's topic in SRNA

3. Pre-CRNA student: Anesthesia Tech?

   jakeb replied to blongor's topic in SRNA

   You should get a Nurse Tech job in an ICU. That will get your foot into the door for a possible job out of school. Anesthesia tech may help, but not as much as an ICU technician. I got into Kaiser with 4 years of ICU/ER tech work and a year of ICU RN...

12. How much do you make?

13. Applying to KPSAN, anyone applying for fall 2013

    jakeb replied to beetlebum's topic in SRNA
