1. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

   cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

   When I said "nursing school" here, sorry I wasn't very specific. I really meant RN school. I did not to think to clarify between RN school and CRNA school which I realize was a mistake considering they're really both "nursing school". So, would yo...

2. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

   cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

   I know a lot of people will give others flack for saying that but I really don't understand what's wrong with that statement. Giving someone flack for wanting to become an RN "only" so they could become a CRNA is like giving someone flack for someon...

3. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

   cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

   Lol, Umm....I'm not sure where you're getting that, what you're saying is 100% wrong. Anesthesiology one of the MOST competitive specialties to get into. Never have I come across any data, or even an opinion piece, that suggests anesthesiology is on...

4. Do PAs go to Med School?

   cherrysky replied to Raas4555's topic in SRNA

   To be honest you just sound like someone that is attempting to show off on a nursing forum. If you dislike mid levels (a title I have no problem with) so much, then why do you spend so much time posting on a nursing forum? I will however mention t...

5. it is depressing and dissapointing

   cherrysky replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

   Every single complaint you read on this forum holds true for every single profession. Maybe the intensity is upped a little in nursing because you have so many women stressed out and forced to work together, but I don't think it is really any differ...

6. I FINALLY got a job!

   cherrysky replied to Maudy's topic in General Nursing

   Wow! Congratulations on the new job! I'm excited for you : ) Hopefully it will be everything you want it to be!

7. Are taking GRE's 3-4 years prior to CRNA school a good idea?

   cherrysky replied to TheIncredible's topic in SRNA

   The schools I've looked at have a validity period of 5 years on GRE scores.

8. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

   cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

   First, it is possible to become a CRNA within 5-6 years: 1year LPN, 1 year additional to become an RN (at least around here), and then 1 year accelerated BSN and while you are actually doing your 1 year BSN you could be working ICU then apply for th...

9. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

   cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

   I completely agree, plus in medicine there are years of residency where again the doctor is making much less money.

10. financial planning for the young!

    cherrysky replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    I would say as far as retirement, make sure to put every penny you can in a 401k, max it out if you can. Does your employer match any portion of your contributions? Even if it does not, you should still try to max out your contributions because any...

11. Crna Programs Without Gre Scores

    cherrysky replied to cantillod's topic in SRNA

    Just remember that some of the schools that make GRE optional do so only if you have a certain minimum GPA. Make sure you are clear if there are certain conditions which affect whether or not he GRE is optional. Also, like a few previous posters me...

12. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

    That is one of my pet peeves on this forum! As soon as you say you want to become a CRNA a bunch of RNs get on your case because "you're in it for the money". I genuinely think that they may be a little bit jilted because for only 2-3 more years o...

13. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

    I definitely want to go on to become a CRNA but I haven't heard anyone else other than my sister (and one of her friends) say that they wanted to become one. I've heard one person say they were considering becoming an NP but that's about all.

14. What Patients Hate about doctors

    cherrysky replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wow! What is the name of your book? Is it about nursing or unrelated to your profession? I want to start reading some books, whether fiction or nonfiction, about nursing. Sorry about your experience.

15. Stop Foreign Nurses

    cherrysky replied to StopForeignNurses's topic in Activism

    Someone here said something like "foreign nurses are willing to work in horrible conditions which means the conditions will never change for us". GIVE ME A BREAK. Those "desperate" nurses from the Philippines and Africa are used to walking MILES ju...
