  1. Should I Wait For CCRN Certification

    Manurse715 replied to NewTexasRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    Manurse715 replied to Manurse715's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Manurse715 replied to SOMA's topic in MICU, SICU

    Manurse715 replied to bdd549's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This guy is smart. And when he's making 200K+ a year his money won't ruin him. I am saving right now as well, paying off student loans, working OT and weekend nights, eating ramond noodles as often as...

  10. ICU Experience

    Manurse715 replied to Jump_Nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Look into during a "nurse externship," or SN Clinical Enrichment Program." You would basically be a glorified tech, but you will learn so much. At hospitals in my area ( an I did two of these in ER...

  14. Should I be up front with the nurse recruiter about my CRNA intentions

    Manurse715 replied to Riversurfer's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hospitals in Tulsa, OK will hire new grads in the ICU. I am a dude nurse, I want to go to CRNA school and I got hired less than a year ago. What I said in my interview just showed that I was willing...

  15. CRNA cirriculum... how intense?

    Manurse715 replied to LPN30's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Great and relevant concern. Yeah I've been told that CRNA see bookoos of money thrown their way in sign on bonuses when they get done. What have you heard about the schools in TN?! I work in Tulsa in...

  17. Vented Patient Should A Minimal Experienced Nurse Be Caring For A Vented Patient?

    Manurse715 replied to SOMA's topic in MICU, SICU
