   I'm not at TCU, but drug companies supplied some books for students in my program. Hopefully that's the case.

   jenniek replied to rayman's topic in SRNA

   Congrats SReece! Happy for you! This gives you plenty of time to read over the LONG loan thread! Enjoy your time before school starts.

3. Am I wrong to say?

   jenniek replied to blee1's topic in SRNA

   that is a similar response I received while interviewing. Many nurses will come through the unit and work for a year, apply half way through the year and move on. But, the directors are happy having a good nurse for a year. If their goal is anesthesi...

4. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

   jenniek replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in SRNA

   Going through school was not an option for me. We were to pick our own financial institution for our loan. It may differ by state.

5. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

   jenniek replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in SRNA

   Wells fargo has an origination fee for the stafford loan that goes directly to school. If you go for a personal educational loan, there is no origination fee. Learned that the hard way. I'll be looking for another financial institution for my staffor...

7. Anyone take out $50,000 per year to live?

   jenniek replied to ellarose's topic in SRNA

   There is a very informative thread on alternative loans. I'll bump it up so it's toward the top of the list. It's worth reading through.

8. Med-Mal Reform -- Write your Senator

   jenniek replied to deepz's topic in CRNA

   Well, I think JWK was excused because he was an intelligent healthcare provider. How about that?

9. CRNAs practicing in Plastics clinics?

   jenniek replied to MmacFN's topic in CRNA

   Very true. I have worked as a OR nurse and the cases I've seen were minor. I guess stating I would prefer a different sort of challenge would be a better statement. Great point about the plastic surgery clients.

10. CRNAs practicing in Plastics clinics?

    jenniek replied to MmacFN's topic in CRNA

    My bad. She is an MD. Not sure why I thought she was a CRNA. Guess I'm guilty of the male/female job role assumption. Bad me.......bad, bad, me. Back to studying.....

11. CRNAs practicing in Plastics clinics?

    jenniek replied to MmacFN's topic in CRNA

    Do you not watch Nip/Tuck on FX? LOL. Actually, they are used. I think Yoga may work with a plastic surgeon if I'm not mistaken. I do not think it would be very challenging. And plastic surgery is pretty ugly....face lifts, liposuction. It always g...

12. Distance Ed Science courses

    jenniek replied to SleepyJoe's topic in CRNA

    Is your friend wanting to get his associate's/bachelor's in nursing or master's in nursing anesthesia? Two different things...... If he aiming for a master's in nurse anesthesia, I would hold off taking any science courses until you know what program...

13. Book: Nurse Anesthesia SECRETS

    jenniek replied to MmacFN's topic in CRNA

    thanks Frank. Off to check B&N. I've looked at an old copy of a friends, and it seems more thorough than NAS. Am I correct? Jennie

    jenniek replied to ellarose's topic in SRNA

    You also need to consider the cost of health insurance for you and your family during the time you are in school. If your husband does not work, paying for health insurance out of pocket is going to be pricey. Factor that into his salary if his emplo...

15. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    jenniek replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in CRNA

    I would always double the alcohol intake, too. So true about surgeons....
