$75 cash.... without question...

I worked full time nights shifts for five years through my undergrad education so I wouldn't ever be chained to a giant ball of debt. I would contemplate shooting myself if I had a couple hundred grand tied up in a nursing degree. Those nights shifts...

You should get a Nurse Tech job in an ICU. That will get your foot into the door for a possible job out of school. Anesthesia tech may help, but not as much as an ICU technician. I got into Kaiser with 4 years of ICU/ER tech work and a year of ICU RN...

^ they may make the same as a CRNA working in the same ACT practice, but rest assured, they make far less than a CRNA in private practice....

^^^^That is absolutely correct.

It all depends on where you want to live. the fact that there are over 212 active job listings (that doesn't include the 300 recruitment agency listings) on gas work means that there is work out there. You have to be willing to work anywhere in the c...

Same to you! Way to go! Excited to meet ya.

Interviewed on the 7th. I'm super excited too. I started down this road 5 years ago!

I just turned 24, and I'm starting at Kaiser this fall! So excited and ready!

Just recieved my acceptance letter... WOOOOOOO!

Nope. Based on years past they usually send out notifications in the next week our so.

^^ very well said... The stress of being an icu nurse is nothing compared to being a crna.

They said they were looking for someone who can work with others. In the past there have been people that were far too type A who screamed and yelled at others on a whim. Not really appropriate in an OR.

How did everyone's interview go?!? Decisions should be out in the next 10 days!

So I interviewed today. it went great! If you are from out of town make sure you Gerry there early early early. I flew in the day prior and am very glad I did. 80 interviews, 35 spots. Fifty fifty chance now!Interview staff were very kind and helpful...

IndiCRNA - You are living my dream! Some day (hopefully soon), I'll be in your shoes!

all I can say is good luck! I got a job straight out of school in a level 1shock trauma Icu but had worked there as a tech for 4 years. My unit hadn't hired a new nurse in 3 years prior to me. I know the university of Utah does a critical care intern...

I recieved an email for interview today! oh my goodness super excited!

I also got my self addressed letter back early december letting me know that everything was in. I'm just waiting (rather impatiently) for that pesky email. I just want to know one way or another!

These are the best shears and nearly everyone in my ED uses them. they are made by miltex and would cut a finger off if you wanted to. http://www.expresssurgical.com/Shopping/Products/ProductDetail/571/Bandage-and-Utility-Scissors-8-1-2-%2821-6-cm%...

I tried to get hired at two(2) Trauma 1 Centers in Utah for over a year and each time they let me know they'd be happy to hire me once I acquired my EMT-B License. I got my EMT-B and 2 weeks later I was orienting in the largest ER in the Mountain Wes...

I got my first job as a CNA just about one year ago at the University of Utah. I had a week of class orientation and about 4 weeks of preceptor training on the unit. It helped immensely. I now know so much and it has really put me ahead of the compet...

I always use a 14 Fr. to start with. On my floor we do a lot of intermittent cathing. I use a 14 Fr. to reduce pain(it can hurt), and also use a lidojet...

I work in a hospital and our patients get showers every other day...Then again I am only assigned 4-6 patients. Usually I have 2-3 showers. The people I work with are quite sick, (paraplegia, guadriplegia, ventilated, severe strokes, MS, TBI's, etc.)...
