2. Recommendation For Medical Insurance

   msummar_smc replied to MaleAPRN's topic in CRNA

   You may want to check with your local Farm Bureau also. You no longer have to 'own' (or a family member) a farm. Just pay the $15 membership fee. I have family health coverage through them and it is great (and very inexpensive).

3. I need honest advice about getting into CRNA school

   msummar_smc replied to luster7576's topic in CRNA

   You don't need my advice ... I need advice from you. You are definitely fast on your way. Study for the GRE and do well on it.

   msummar_smc replied to BikeGurl's topic in CRNA

   I would also check into your local Farm Bureau office. In a previous life, I was the eCommerce Marketing Manager for Service Merchandise. Service Merchandise liquidated and let go of most of their employees very hastily on 1/4/2002 - including me. ...

7. Is socialized healthcare in our future?

   msummar_smc posted a topic in CRNA

   Hi all! I just wanted to post a general question about the socialization of healthcare. Does anyone think it may happen in our lifetimes (or maybe in the next 10-20 years)? I follow politics very closely and the back-and-forth between the republic...

8. Second Degree Accelerated or 5 semester BSN- Help me decide

   msummar_smc replied to careerdejour's topic in General Nursing

   If you don't mind me asking ... why haven't any of the other careers stuck? Master of Education and JD degree ... why not be an attorney? It seems like you like school and not necessarily work. Why don't you try to get a job teaching at the local ...

   Sorry to go off on a tangent here, but Rush Limbaugh didn't abuse Oxycodone because he was unhappy with his job. Rush became addicted to Oxycodone when it was originally perscribed to him for a back problem he developed. Oxycodone is highly addicti...

    Just a few points to avoid any confusion. It is actually MTSA and it is not affiliated with a free-standing univeristy. MTSA is affiliated with a hospital (Tennessee Christian Medical Center). (MTSU is another school in the middle TN area called M...

    I have been accepted to a BSN program beginning in the fall and couldn't be more excited. My grandmother was in and out of critical care for a few years as she battled cancer (which she eventually succumb to). I was facinated (and very thankful) by...

    cniro7, I have the same problem and also starting nursing school. The majority of people in my family have what are called something like vasovagal responses. For most in my family, the sight of blood, a needle, a painful act (like receiving stitch...

14. Recent college grad B.S.- Psych, needs advice.

    msummar_smc replied to B.S.Psych's topic in CRNA

    BS Psych, I don't mean to rain on your parade, but I don't think you are cut out to be an MD or CRNA. Let's face it ... a 2.4 in psychology is pretty bad ... worse than a 2.4 in a major such as biology. A BSN is not an easy program, not to mention ...
