  2. Anyone here both an RN and RT before CRNA?

    LisaRRT replied to JOEYZ's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    LisaRRT replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Ken, you worded it in a way my emotional self is not able to. I agree about the public displays and such. My son's friend even tried to protect his family (as much as he could) by calling the...

  5. Suicide and its effects, it sucks!!!

    LisaRRT replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

  7. Is there advantage to getting RRT and BSN before CRNA school?

    LisaRRT replied to sleepyrasrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was an RRT first then an RN, I have never heard of an RN who then became RRT. If I were you I would not. I love being an RRT like the other posters have stated too, but it is the 12 years of RRT...

    LisaRRT replied to nurseMeghan's topic in General Nursing

    LisaRRT replied to LisaRRT's topic in Pulmonary

    LisaRRT replied to mammothsnw's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  14. Nursing student looking for some answers

    LisaRRT replied to cardiac.cure03's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I started as a new RN grad in a CVICU/CVSD unit. The clincal manager already knew me from working there as an RRT, so I think that might have helped. Both hospitals in the town I live hire new grads...
