  1. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    Businessman replied to srnabound3997's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Discrimination topics will always be tinged with politics. Great strides have been made in "leveling" the playing field, but to require perfection, it's unrealistic. I am a white non-Anglo: I have...

  2. Stupid question

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

    Low BP in a healthy individual is compensated automatically by the body (baroreceptors, RAAS, SNS, adrenal glands or epi). Low BP in an unhealthy indiv. goes hand in hand with a bad heart, therefore...

  3. CRNA Headhunters/Recruiters

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

    Trauma Nurse, Use them I (if nothing else) as a resource: they know avg. salaries in various parts of the country, potential benefits you haven't thought about, etc. Talking to them does not preclude...

    Businessman replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The CRNA - anesthesiologist threads will always ignite fires and alter tempers. If you are a CRNA (SRNA) and care about this issue, take that hate and convert it in constructive (long-lasting) energy:...

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

  6. Guys in the NICU

    Businessman replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Look at it from an adult point of view: if you love working with newborns, and the rest of staff is helpful and accepting of you, then go for it. I can understand one's reticence after seeing a sexual...

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

  9. Physical Requirements of CRNA

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

  10. research/teaching as a CRNA

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

  13. When does ICU experience start?

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

    HeartICU and matts pats, There are more sides to this issue. If you apply after only 4 months of experience, you would have just finished the orientation (preceptorship) in the ICU. Some ICU managers...

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

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

    Tom, Could you ask your sister to give us a rule of thumb, when is it worth working full time on 1099 vs. salaried? Something along the lines: $120,000 in salary is the same as $150,000 as a...

  17. Hamot/Gannon school of nurse anesthesia

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

  20. anesthetist vs anesthesiologist

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

    Reading between the lines on this topic: many of us will leave here with the same opinions, simply because both physicians and CRNA's are a competitive bunch, when it comes to profession. However,...

    Businessman posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
