1. What cities have the highest ICU nurse demand?

   AnesthesiaBound replied to Roland's topic in CRNA

   I have to agree with TraumaNurse. During my interview, they were more interested in the types of patients I took care of, not where I was working. If you can secure a job and cross-train in several different ICUs. This seems to be very important and ...

2. What cities have the highest ICU nurse demand?

   AnesthesiaBound replied to Roland's topic in CRNA

   As to the rent, I would recommend working as a traveller. You get your rent paid for, plus you get paid a higher salary than your average joe. But, I assume from your quote you haven't starting your nursing career. If this is true, traveling wouldn't...

3. What cities have the highest ICU nurse demand?

   AnesthesiaBound replied to Roland's topic in CRNA

   I'm not sure exactly what you're are looking for in a hospital, but I do a good bit of traveling up in New Jersey. Speaking from experience, they are unbelievably understaffed. There is probably no less than 15 or 20 well-respected hospitals within a...

4. Day in the life of a SRNA

   AnesthesiaBound posted a topic in CRNA

   Nilepoc had a semi-weekly thread I chanced upon where he talked about his experiences in anesthesia school. Nilepoc, this is really interesting for those of us about to start school. Any chance you'll go back to this thread, or are you still doing i...

   AnesthesiaBound replied to deke's topic in CRNA

   deke, unfortunately i don't have any info on the laryngeal anomalies. i just wanted to say that my thoughts are with your dad. I hope he pulls through and comes out stronger than ever. bj

6. Gonzaga said yes!!!

   AnesthesiaBound replied to kestrel1121's topic in CRNA

   Congrats. I really thought you handled yourself well in the interview and I guess now it showed. I personally think you will have a lot less pressure in the next interview. If you could handle that first one without cracking, you can handle anything....

   AnesthesiaBound replied to JSB's topic in CRNA

   I am lucky enough to have just been accepted into their program, starting in August. I know 2 people in the class ahead that say the school is incredible. The atmosphere is second to none. You are treated like a family from peers as well as staff/ins...

9. 1st Interview done(Need Cyberhugs)

   AnesthesiaBound replied to kestrel1121's topic in CRNA

   KESTRELL1121 congratulations on handling that interview well and standing your ground. Personally, I wouldn't have done so well. I've only had one interview (MTSA) and it was thankfully nothing like that. It would make me seriously wonder what the e...

10. Propofol

    AnesthesiaBound replied to czipp's topic in Gastroenterology

    I honestly don't think that the nurses that are pushing propofol ( as well as other sedation meds) are listening to the arguments made by yoga, athomas, mchugh, etc. There's a lot to consider when using these drugs, not just to keep an eye on chest e...

    Yoga, you are a true inspiration to all of us aspiring CRNAs Congrats on your anniversary and thanks for all of the words of wisdom. I have enjoyed all of your posts. BJ

12. BSN completion to CRNA-Anyone else?

    AnesthesiaBound replied to Ben@kc's topic in CRNA

    I went through the online program at South Alabama. It worked out really well. You have to be highly self-motivated to do it and do it well. There's nobody pushing you along and you can easily get left behind. My advice would be to try an online prer...

    AnesthesiaBound replied to New CCU RN's topic in CRNA

    Good response Arkgolfer. In my experience, there are a multitude of older people on TCAs and/or BNDs - either for depression, itching, etc, etc. Something to think about. bj

14. Srnas &crnas--advice Please!!

    AnesthesiaBound replied to jebain's topic in CRNA

    Congratulations on your acceptance. I, luckily, just got accepted also. I'm currently looking over M&M. It's very good, detailed, but not over your head. I'm planning on reading over the basic meds and the cardiac and respiratory physiology chapt...

15. CRNA school policy

    AnesthesiaBound replied to alphozo's topic in CRNA

    In my case, similar to yours, I think a poor start can prove to be a positive. Doing well from here out (straight A's if possible) will prove how much you want this. It shows that once you set your mind to something, you can do it. I started with a 1...
