There are so many problems with this and I don't know where to start! Many of you speak of having paid nothing or very little for care but do not know of the actual cost paid. The "low cost" of doctor visits and meds can spiral the costs higher for a...
wow, after reading these who would want to do this? it's scaring me and i am done with my first year. my program is 28 mos like most. we started clinicals with class after an 8wk crash course. our first year schedule goes like this: mon- group ...
That's just a legal hoop since they cannot verify your legally protected RN name. They love the implication of critical care nurse though. However, the site's fine print reveals it reveals hidden and legally protected name of " clam chowder reeking ...

DaFreak71, Why is the DNR a mistake? If he is unloved,uncared, and vegetative then a DNR could be the next best thing for him. Itsmeemtp, that was a sad and touching story. Thanks for the reminder. and NO, God absolutely does not make one inkling of...
CRNA2BKY, Most ICU nurses know how you feel. When I started in the unit I was young -24- and new without the benefit of a real ICU course. I was put me on night shift with only 3 or 4 weeks of orientation. The worst part about it was the hateful cr...

Jillybean, Stop worrying about what people are going to think and the social aspect of it. I have classmates from 23-52. Go ahead and apply. The worst is you will gain some valuable knowledge and have to wait a year if you don't get accepted (while ...
MTSA is a great program. It is the only regional accredited stand-alone anesthesia school, the second largest of all the schools at 72 students. It is an anesthesia machine. You get a MS degree (none of those fluff nursing courses wiht MSN). It is a ...

My friend's income was similar to mine and I was making around 75000 at an Army hospital. He was a Captain at the time. As a CRNA in the Army he is making low 110000-115000, and the army paid him while he went to school + no tuition. But he owes 4yr...
That's true that admin treats you like a credit card bill as a regular staff nurse but there's more to the story. I worked 10yrs before starting anesthesia school and thought everyone loved anesthesia. Not so. In the OR it's always our fault no matt...
I wasted some time. At that particular school the director once told us undergrad students at the time he was only interested in nurses with 10-15 yrs experience. So I worked awhile for experience and life happened. 10yrs later I was worried about a...
When I took it I had 8-9 yrs exp. I went to a 2day review course since my work offered. I did not study and passed it easily. After I saw some sample questions I felt confident. I intended to study but never had the time or drive. If you have experie...
