   RegMurse12 replied to RegMurse12's topic in CRNA

   Thank you for the advice. I actually have applied to hospitals from coast to coast. Unfortunately, these are the only two who have showed any interest in me. I am tempted to pass on both, but I'm afraid something else won't come along in a timely ...

    RegMurse12 replied to RegMurse12's topic in Flight

    Thanks for replying everyone. I went to the emslife forum and posted the question. They referred me to the TX EMS board and then started a battle among themselves about why nurses shouldn't be paramedics and vice-versa. Anyways, I emailed them the ...
