  1. Nervous about telling co-workers

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Honestly- I hate to say it, and I'm not normally a cynical or pessimistic person... but overall, people are ... jerks. (tame verbiage chosen so as to not get my reply booted lol) Sure, there are some...

  2. New York City Travel Nurse Info/help Needed

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to ItalianLady's topic in Travel

    Yeah I second that. I had a nurse friend who worked there for 5 weeks before she quit and she cried too. See what happens when you don't have RTs? hehehehe... Although somehow I think not having RTs...

  3. BON Req's and Medic Excelsior Students

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to NurseEllis's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think Medics and RTs with EC RNs are in the same boat. I was initially so nervous about the whole licensure thing, but really I dont think its as big of a deal as I thought it was. Unless you live...

  4. Career change: Lawyer to CRNA.

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to Riptide McGee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to Riptide McGee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Omg, I would be the worst president ever... I would declare every Monday in summer to be a federal holiday. All meetings would be moved to the back lawn where the BBQ is. I would bring all the...

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to Phishininau's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Awwww. I remember my first time too. I was like "that's it?" I had been so freaked out about the whole thing... it was a little bit anti-climatic, but I was happy nonetheless.... Yay!

  12. Cath lab? ICU burnout

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to brookesbuddy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I mean I saw that you said "oh i just cant leave" but a lot of people say that because they are comfortable and dont want to go someplace new and start over. Most hospitals have great benefits, and...

  13. Cath lab? ICU burnout

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to brookesbuddy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I dont know... I think most people would *definitely* see Cath Lab as a step down in intensity from ICU, and I dont think it would look good at all. It might not be the ICU part that's the problem......

  14. Career change: Lawyer to CRNA.

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to Riptide McGee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Tex is right- you could be working as a nurse in 2 years, even if you need some pre-reqs. I did law work PT while i got my pre reqs so i only had to suffer a year really being poor. Everyone has their...

  15. Career change: Lawyer to CRNA.

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to Riptide McGee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am a lawyer turned RRT going for RN now. It won't take you as long as you think it will. Plus time flies when you're having fun. Hour-for-hour and taking into account aggravation and boredom, I get...

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to EpiphanyXI's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Epiph- I was an attorney too who got out of it after 9/11. I thought I was the only one! I became an Respiratory Therapist first. Just happened to fall into it. I had a great university/teaching...

  18. CRNA school without a BSN

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to bman's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  19. STAT intubation advice PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to miloisstinky's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    rn29306 has it right. I'm an RRT in ICU, and in the smaller hospital I work at per diem, there is no night anesthesia or unit attending coverage - RTs intubate and wait for the pulmonary doc to come...

  20. respiratory therapists becoming CRNAs????

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to mommy2BCD's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
