  4. Why everyone wants to become anesthetist? Is it because of the salary?

    love-d-OR replied to Datu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I guess overall, I feel like it's for me, but soooo not for some of the others who want to do it. Although I don't mind the job I do now, which includes a huge amount of excrement and bodily...

    love-d-OR replied to nursiepooh6's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    love-d-OR replied to SRNA2011's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When I let the cat out of the mouse I still had good assignments, in addition people sent me farewell wishes, good bye emails, and a POTLUCK! Oh, and I was called a traitor more than once per shift...

  18. Which Healthcare fields ARE hiring?

  19. How many times did you apply for CRNA school before being accepted?

    love-d-OR replied to JakeOff's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do not let a rejection get you down. Apply to more than one school, I know I did, and I'm glad I did. The fact that one school does not feel you are a match does not mean you are not a good candidate...

    love-d-OR replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

  24. Professional dilemma

    love-d-OR replied to gdc67's topic in United Kingdom

    Then in that case you should do less. Don't give the medication! I find it ironic that you are refusing to get the certification because you don't want to do more work for the same pay, yet you are...

  25. Yes, another question about CRNA pay?

    love-d-OR replied to wannabanrnin2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What wtbcrna said and to the OP you also have to factor in that some of the jobs on gaswork are 1099. Also, the fact that someone works with CRNAs does not always mean they know what they
