1. Travel Nurse with a Pit Bull - Housing Question

   globalkimSRNA replied to Pea's topic in Travel

   This was really informative, Ned. Thank you for taking the time. You must be an RV'er (or maybe you once were one, or also want to be one). I was thinking of an 80G loan. Nothing down, with a competitive loan rate. This is a healthy loan for new ...

2. Nurse Practitioner - Anesthesia in (Northern) Ontario, Canada

   globalkimSRNA replied to daktarimkenya's topic in SRNA

   There are Anesthetists in Canada?? Tehy must be only in military related positions. My understanding is that Anesthesiologists won't let go of that domain. I am Canadian and would love to work in Canada as a CRNA. Let me know how!

3. Travel Nurse with a Pit Bull - Housing Question

   globalkimSRNA replied to Pea's topic in Travel

   Share the math with me? Not sure where you're coming from. There is no way it comes close to costing $2000/month plus. I realize this depends on where you are working, and which State. Fuel efficiency with a class B is comparable to an SUV. Upke...

4. Travel Nurse with a Pit Bull - Housing Question

   globalkimSRNA replied to Pea's topic in Travel

   I can't imagine my $2000/month rent is equivalent to how much it costs to RV. If you keep the size reasonable, like a class B or an efficient class C, there will definitely be savings. You can be creative by using solar panels and lithium batteries...

5. Travel Nurse with a Pit Bull - Housing Question

   globalkimSRNA replied to Pea's topic in Travel

   Have you thought of buying an RV, and living in it? Then you could take the housing stipend from the travel company instead, increasing your income. I am planning on doing this with my french bulldog. As long as your pitbull is behaved and doesn'...

6. What about living in a winnebago to help pay down loans?

   globalkimSRNA replied to globalkimSRNA's topic in SRNA

   Oooooooo sting! For the record, the reason they are bad tippers is that where they're from, there are next to no poor starving homeless people and they are taxed at about 18-25% average. All true. I am actually a New Yorker (I am a dual citizen, Am...

   I know this is several years later. But I'm curious. How's your repayment going? What did you decide? Thanks (pending SRNA) Kim

8. What about living in a winnebago to help pay down loans?

   globalkimSRNA posted a topic in SRNA

   Hi. I'm headed to CRNA school. I'm 45. I only have 45G saved. I'm single, have a dog. Given that I am Canadian and generally tough when it comes to roughing it, has anyone considered living in a winnebago, and moving state to state working locum ...

9. Is it still financially worth it to become CRNA?

   globalkimSRNA replied to ProgressiveThinking's topic in SRNA

   I couldn't help but comment. I'm 45 and applying for CRNA school. Did you ever consider scooping up your family and heading to a gorgeous rural location and making some $$$? Your post made me sad. Was hoping things have changed for you and you c...
