   cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   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...

   cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   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...

   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...

4. Do PAs go to Med School?

   cherrysky replied to Raas4555's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   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...

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...

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

   cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   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...

   cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

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

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...

    cherrysky replied to cantillod's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    cherrysky replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

    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...

    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...

    cherrysky replied to StopForeignNurses's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...
