    Reasons NOT to be CRNA

    mvanz9999 replied to Terpole's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I do not think it is wrong to consider the down side of being a CRNA. And there definitely ARE downsides, as there are with EVERY job. If one claims that there aren't any downsides, they are...

    What are the BEST and WORST States to practice as an NP?

    mvanz9999 replied to Roland's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    From what I know, that response is essentially it. The AMA keeps the use of NPs limited, as well as keeping the NP salaries artificially low. That, in itself, is enough to make it undesireable....

    I must be getting old: A rant

    mvanz9999 replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Gum chewing does not bother me. But the popping does. And the perfume thing is disgusting. We've to one person on each floor in the building that wears far too much. As soon as I pass the entry...

    Fees Fees and more Fees

    mvanz9999 replied to scarlet24's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I don't know if it's always been like this, because my parents paid the first bill, but yes I have paid all these fees, plus a $50.00 activity fee. I have no idea what this allegedly

    mvanz9999 replied to couldntbhappier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A live frog? I've never heard of this. I suppose it could be done if it were anesthetized. But still.... All the dissections I have done were complete on preserved animals or humans. It's never...

    I parked on the lot just South of the DON. Cost is only $6.00, so that's not bad considering........ With what the CTA has done to the train system, I'd rather

    UPDATE: Who is still waiting on 2007 acceptance?

    mvanz9999 replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going for Acute Care NP. I assume you had the same interview style that I did. Which was group interviews. I sat in that room with 3 other candidates, answering the questions and listening to...

    UIC Grad School

    mvanz9999 replied to MidwestRN34's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I don't have any special qualifications. I did what they asked (writing personal statement, etc). I've got a lot of volunteer experience, took all the pre-reqs, sent everything in and there I...

    23-year old woman has ALL limbs amputated

    mvanz9999 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    What I think the issue regarding the suit is: the hospital cannot release information due to idiotic HIPAA laws, so she has to sue in order the force the hospital to legally release the information....

    Is it this hard to get into med. school??

    mvanz9999 replied to jonb1213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Med school is exeedingly competitive, even after you have met all the requirements. The reason is because there are only N spots and 10N applicants. How they got there doesn't really matter, it's...

    Finanial Aid, Marital Status

    mvanz9999 replied to mvanz9999's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I still don't understand what your "current" income has to do with anything. The second you quit your job to return to school, your income is $0.00. I really don't understand the point of that...

    Direct Entry Interviews

    mvanz9999 replied to mvanz9999's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Because I'm interested in patient care, not "disease care". I want to manage the ENTIRE patient and educate them on managing their own illness. Medicine can only do so much, the rest is up to the...

    Finanial Aid, Marital Status

    mvanz9999 replied to mvanz9999's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Um....well, I'm a guy. The only guys I know are what I call "inversely" rich. Which means they have 6-figure debts. Maybe I shouldn't be talking about marriage. Maybe that's
