   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...

3. What is CCRN?

   boynurse2 replied to Want2Bgasman's topic in SRNA

   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...

5. Stress levels of ICU vs CRNA

   boynurse2 replied to CRNA2BKY's topic in CRNA

   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...

6. I want to be a CRNA but I have questions!

   boynurse2 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in CRNA

   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 ...

    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...

    boynurse2 replied to Screen name's topic in CRNA

    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...
