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

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

  5. Why did you become a CRNA?

    susanna replied to cns48's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  8. ICU experience to become CRNA

    susanna replied to LeeBee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Does "you took open hearts" mean you worked in CICU? I've been reading this forum for more info and it seems like cardiovascular ICU gets you more experience than regular adult ICU. This the...

    susanna replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

  20. I wish I'd have known....B4 nursing school

    susanna replied to ARmickie's topic in General Nursing

    You should definately read some Thomas Szasz(sp?) then because thats where the quote came from. The first book I read by him I think was called, "The myth of mental illness" or "The dangers of mental...

    susanna replied to user69's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    susanna replied to 1BlessedRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think thats cool that inmates work better than other workers. It shows that the approaching mindset really counts. But, these inmates weren't working as CNAs were
