    pnurseuwm replied to dietersmanifesto's topic in General Nursing

  6. Under what circumstances can a nurse LEGALLY refuse an assignment?

    pnurseuwm replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    So it's almost like a Catch-22 thing, huh? So you mean to say that if (for example) a nurse manager wants to "get rid of" a particular nurse, all they have to do is to create a situation (like giving...

  7. The Difference

    pnurseuwm replied to JJRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  10. How do CRNAs/SRNAs benefit anesthesiology residents?

    pnurseuwm replied to HawaiiRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well, everyone KNOWS that CRNAs don't exercise, they don't NEED to be with their families, and for goodness sake, CRNAs don't need sleep, they can work 24/7...... they really should bring their...

  11. What's going to keep you motivated????

    pnurseuwm replied to SRNACHIC's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm not a SRNA yet (not even in nursing school yet! :) ) but I think some motivators for me would be the life style, from what I've heard CRNAs can have schedules from like 7 am to like 2 or 3 pm. Not...

    pnurseuwm replied to pnurseuwm's topic in General Nursing

  15. Hospitals with NO nurse anesthetists

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

    Okay, I just called the hospital back and they say that they only use anesthesiologists. Isn't that awfully expensive? The lady told me that I should "reconsider" my career aspirations. Does anyone...

    pnurseuwm replied to RNsneedchange's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    this question is for suzanne 4 and other SRNA or CRNA. At what level of your nursing education can you ask to shadow a CRNA? I'll be starting nursing school in the fall, but I would like to shadow a...

    pnurseuwm replied to Hypoxic Pixel Eyes's topic in General Nursing

  18. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    pnurseuwm replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I looked at both Emory's and the school in Ohio that teach anesthesia assistants. The students must take all pre-med classes and the MCAT before applying to the schools. What is the point in that?...

  19. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    pnurseuwm replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  20. CRNAs in Washington D.C.

    pnurseuwm posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I've noticed on Gaswork that there are very few (like 2) listings for CRNA jobs for Washington D.C., and the salaries for both are between $110,000 and like $130,000. Is D.C. saturated with CRNAs or...

    pnurseuwm replied to msummar_smc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    pnurseuwm replied to Skrawberri's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Trauma nurse, what other professions do you know of that it's easier to get the salary of a CRNA or more? This is a sincere question.

    pnurseuwm replied to JoYang's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  25. Why the high pay in Texas?

    pnurseuwm replied to Salus's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
