  1. Question from a Cali RN making good money.

    LifelongRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  2. Question from a Cali RN making good money.

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I actually decided a few weeks ago that I'm not going to go. I'm set to make $185/yr working in a unit that I like in an area that has been great for my family. Some of my friends that are currently...

  3. Question from a Cali RN making good money.

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  4. Question from a Cali RN making good money.

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  5. Question from a Cali RN making good money.

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think you're absolutely right and i have spoken to many SRNAs who at about 1 year into school talk about how they cannot believe how much they have learned. Becoming a CRNA is a definite role change...

  6. Question from a Cali RN making good money.

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    LifelongRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  10. Anyone apply to St. Mary's CRNA 2019?

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  15. Anyone apply to St. Mary's CRNA 2019?

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wonder why mine and yours says "decision mailed" while other's still say "application under review". Maybe everyone's status just isn't updated yet? The prospective students page does say that the...

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    LifelongRN replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
