It may be your resume. I have seen many that the Nurse managers just tossed out, for example, the ones that are straight from a word template or too wordy. Polish up that resume is your first step. Then maybe you will get some bites. Remember they want to know what you can do for them. A list of skills is a must on a resume for a new RN.

Recent Grad (less than 1 year), curious if anyone CRNAs have done mission trips. Medical Missions is why I want to become a CRNA. They seem to have alot of autonomy and choices for mission work. Can anyone verify this? Whats been your experience as a CRNA on medical missions?

I am a new nurse. We hang precedex gtts often. Usually not pass 0.7mcg but recently we have had docs write to titrate up to 2 mcg. The manufacturing recommends not doing this. Anyone know the legal side of this? With a docs orders are we covered?

Defiantly do it. I live in a conservative "uptown" area and I know the women of this community are begging for a natural birth center. There is one a town away that is in an old Victorian home with lace curtains. It is homey but feels like stepping back in time. A clean, eco friendly updated natural birth center would make A TON of money and really benefit the area. Defiantly pursue your dream. Its a good one.
