1. Questions regurding stipend during school

   MollyS replied to MNRN007's topic in CRNA

   Actually, I am an SRNA and it is not true of all places that the rate you sign on at is the one you are stuck with. The hospital I signed with has had salary increases and I will get those as well. My biggest word of advice, don't sign on too quickly...

2. Questions regurding stipend during school

   MollyS replied to MNRN007's topic in CRNA

7. AA lost battle to perform regionals in Ohio

   MollyS replied to London88's topic in CRNA

   As a nurse who worked in the OR for about a year and a half, I don't think I ever saw the AA do anything more than bring supplies to the OR rooms and change tubing, etc. I was quite ignorant as to their purpose. I still am not sure exactly what they ...

8. CRNAs in Florida to require anesthesiologist supervision

   MollyS replied to Tony35NYC's topic in CRNA
