    CRNA school chances after failing two first semester courses

    pixiestudent2 replied to .CJ.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    NP/RNFA

    pixiestudent2 replied to TRC211's topic in Advanced Practice

    Why do you want to be a RNFA? You don't need to be a NP to be a RNFA. In my ORs we don't have NPs or RNFAs. The NPs that the surgeons work with are strictly in the clinic or floors... If you want to...

    Union hospital pays less than other hospitals in the same system..?

    pixiestudent2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone have a reasonable explanation for this? You're paying union dues to be paid less. I want to work at said hospital... But it seems like BS to me. I'd be taking a pay cut and be forced to...

    Union hospital pays less than other hospitals in the same system..?

    pixiestudent2 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Nursing

    Union hospital pays less than other hospitals in the same system..?

    pixiestudent2 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Nursing
