   More like 700-1100 now. You may be able to find a place for 500.00 now, but it will most likely be in the ghetto and I don't think anyone who could afford it would want to live in those

   chattypattyCRNA2B replied to PedsNurse07's topic in General Nursing

   A CRNA can perform anesthesia, but they are still considered to be under the direction of an anesthesiologist; although from what I hear it is not that much. You are able to have much more autonomy...

8. Working in Mississippi

   chattypattyCRNA2B replied to PedsNurse07's topic in General Nursing

   I think St. Dominic is trying to change their image now. They started a campaign some time ago about their new (or updated) maternity ward. I heard that they don't do tubal ligations though. I...

    chattypattyCRNA2B replied to Monica RN,BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Mississippi, so I'm in the direct path of the hurricane. The hurricane has moved a little bit to the east so it will be (so the meterologist says) a little easier (whatever that means....)...

    chattypattyCRNA2B replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Since the pages are loose leaf do you have a problem keeping them from tearing up easily? I guess this is not that important if you can still see the info on them. That's a very good idea! Do you...

14. should this girl pass nursing school?

    chattypattyCRNA2B replied to mommymandy's topic in General Students

    I totally agree! She could have been nervous and out of nervousness drew a blank and couldn't remember something. You never know. If she passes the NCLEX then she's capable. Let her have the...
