  2. Applications with Pictures

    japaho41 replied to Biotechnology's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  5. Stipend while going to school

    japaho41 replied to JimmyG--CRNA2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Read the fine print. Some places make you pay taxes on the money when you start working. I kind of look at a stipend as a sign-on bonus that you are not going to get when you start working. If you...

  10. Preparation for CRNA

    japaho41 replied to nursn2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Bypass the LPN route. Like the previous post you would be adding two extra steps. Go right for the BSN. Univ Phoenix is not the best option either. You want a fastrack program that is set up for...

  13. I got accepted, but I'm confused

    japaho41 replied to Burnt2's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with the two part process. Most programs need to have you admitted in general to graduate school prior to be considered for your specific interest of study. I would also think that it would...

  14. hours

    japaho41 replied to MB37's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why not complete your BSN, get a year of experience then go to CRNA school. I would think that it would be much easier on you even if your husband does work from home. You have to remeber that CRNA...

  15. Pre-reqs question...

    japaho41 replied to mambutz7hart's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    japaho41 replied to Gottago's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    I am not sure about the demand. I know that in there Neonatal ICU there has been quite a bit of turnover due to bad working conditions according to a friend of mine. I am sure that you could look...

  18. Greenville-Pitt?

    japaho41 replied to Gottago's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Pitt is the biggest game in Eastern NC. There are other smaller hospitals around (Tarboro, Rocky Mount & Wilson, Washington) New Bern (Craven) would probably be the closest hospital that would be...

  19. Should I retake these classes

    japaho41 replied to BSN 2008's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  22. Distance from school

    japaho41 replied to andrew921's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    japaho41 replied to btlrcthy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
