LOL....dude chill out. I was just expressing my opinion. Everyone knows the rough rides coming in school. But don't take it out on me just because you get your *** kicked in clinicals.

POINT taken. One thing I have to add though, $60,000 gain a year over a ten year span is a considerable difference, even with the two years out with no income and the debt accumulated from school. I did the quick math. Bottom line is for ME, I'll be...

Ok Qwigg.....whatever you say

Lets not kid ourselves....we all know why we're in this: financial gain, better lifestyle. Yeah personal satisfaction and a sense of accomplishment goes with it...but anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. My CRNA buddies who are practicing now a...

that's what I was told....they werent taking anymore after this year. I already mentioned that the program was taken over by the med school. I got in Kaiser anyways so I don't really care... tuition's sky high at USC.

USC is shutting their program down this year. The nursing school closed a couple years ago, and the CRNA portion was then handled by the medical school; hence there was too much conflict and competition with the anesthesia residents... medical scho...

that's so obnoxious.... go wolverines!

There are quite a few Philippinos that were 'physicians' in their homeland and are now practicing RN's at my hospital. I'm not going to speak for all the foreign to US RN's, but I asked them personally why in the world would they become an RN instea...

Any of you CRNA's out there know what the average malpractice insurance is annually these days? I know the CRNA's working staff at the hospitals here in California are covered at work. I heard that the insurance companies are asking for a minimum of...

who wants to work in Utah anyways?? j/k my buddy in hawaii is working on his own after just one year experience....but that was 3 years ago. Thanks for the PMs for those of you practicing already....I think I got the 'gist' now.

Sheesh...she should have headed for the CPA route...not CRNA. There's alot of validity to what she said but bottom line is: NOTHING beats being debt free! You're going to do well wherever you go...making more than anything you could do as an RN. If ...

I'm going to Hawaii for a week before school starts at the end of August, and then I'll be doing a 3 day big game fishing trip off San Diego. I'm packing my last weeks of freedom in before the first day of class. Take advantage of whatever free time...

Yeah yeah....mad skillz Gaspassah has the skills. I'm just trying to follow suit. Here's how it was for my interview: I dropped a BUCKET load of money on my new suit for the interview process. I figured if I screwed the interview up...at least I ...

give me a break...

Having a good gpa at a CC is critical....good job. Here's the catch: If it comes down between you and another solid candidate who has a 4.0 GPA from a reputable BSN program, you may find your odds lowered. I graduatad from a BSN program and got in fi...

If you're interested in a particular CRNA school in your state, I'd take a visit to the school and talk to some of the students in the program to get a feel on what it takes to get in. Every school is a little different in the types of students they...

They haven't sent the schedule out yet. I talked to some of the Junior students and they said we'd be starting at the end of August, and most likely the first class will be at Cal-Fullerton, with the bulk of the weekly classes in Pasadena. No clue w...

I wouldn't even dream about asking my school for that many days off. We start school in the end of August.... I don't even think I could even miss one day off. But I'm sure there are many others that would love to take your spot...

I've met a few of the people who are going to be in our class....all pretty cool. I think the Junior class will throw some kind of ice-breaker party for us right before school starts. We can meet the classmates ahead of us and ask them questions ab...

I heard school will start at the end of August...and probably start with the class from Cal-state Fullerton. The tele-conferencing that Qwiigley was mentioning about is new to me...but makes sense. I'm in the same boat as you KDST....though I live ...

Yo Peeps, Congrats to the high rollers who got in. Guess I'll be seeing you in class...I got my letter of acceptance last week! I'm still floating in cloud nine. I made my buddy across the street check the mail while I was at work. When he told m...
