    Masters Degree

    All of the nurse practitioner/CRNA schools that I could in enroll in (strict BON) require at least a year of experience. I understand that it's not like that everywhere. I think its ridiculous to get...

    My job lets us pick up whatever we want out of the leftover shifts that are not covered. I don't tend to pick up much because of school. The shifts aren't always ideal; they're just what
