  2. Crna and Pa simultaneously?

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

    It could be very difficult to fulfill a full-time position in both areas, but I think it wouldn't be too bad if one was to work as a CRNA full-time and as an ACNP a few shifts a month in an ER...

  3. Crna and Pa simultaneously?

    bigboi posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  5. Crna and Pa simultaneously?

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

    bigboi replied to April_Showers's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well to be quite honest, there are only nuances from floor to floor in respect to CNA work in the hospital. On a cardiovascular floor, the CNA might do EKGs, in the ER, they might draw blood and do...

  14. Got a 4.0 this semester!

    bigboi replied to MissNancy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Are all CNAs mean

    bigboi replied to 2bthelpngirl's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Being a CNA is a very demanding job, physically and mentally. However, there is never an excuse to treat patients like ****. I'm a CNA and I can't wait to start nursing school, for several reasons...

  17. Need to get my GPA up but don't know where to start

    bigboi replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    bigboi replied to GodsSon128's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    bigboi replied to ManyQuestions's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Although leaning more towards CRNA, being a PA still appeals to because of the medical model. I don't mind the nursing model but I don't like the nursing fluff classes that are required. I love...
