It doesnt seem like there are positions in the hospital for "Nursing Informatics". And more important, if the salaries vary from 35k to 90k thats not a good sign. I've been in the IT field for 6 years (help desk) and it's the same thing. One job offe...

thank you for the info I'll look into it

Predictibly this thread is not as long as the "what keeps you motivated thread" LOL it sure isnt pro-bono thats for sure. Oh, but I'm the one whose jaded...

I'll give you a pass cuz Goose Goosage was my favorite pitcher. Maybe you're not but when you have posters in here talking about a "Mega Bathroom set" I suspect many more have the same desires.

What is this? Watergate? Maybe I should be a neurologist because I've obviously touched a nerve. Oh well, I welcome any debates. Tell your friends at work theres a New Yawker in town who tells it like it is.

I'm disputing the motives, the ideology nothing personal Mike.

Err, maybe its me but the words anesthesia assistant both begin with AA..DUH. And they make peanuts, which is why none of you went that route. Oh and whats so wrong with my motivation. Why does it anger you and others so. Am I the first person in the...

Or like asking a women how much shopping is enough, or how much child support is enough...(oow did I say that?)

I dont have a problem with the forum. I have a problem with people sugar coating their motives. All of you talking about you'd do this for regluar nurses pay can purchase this bridge in NY I have for sale. You can be an AA for 40k a year, yet you cho...

You make some excellent points. Yes, I'm in it for the money. Yes I want to just skip RN beside care and get to CRNA and the salary. I've paid my dues in IT and to start calling IT departments begging and hoping for a position is not my idea of a "st...

Oh Gawd! Thats such BS! Why dont you become a cop or a peace core volunteer if you want a "wonderful opportunity?" Its so funny that your "blessing" and your "dream" includes making 160k+ a year. You guys kill me...:roll

No you're not to old. But humm, why do you want to be a CRNA of all the specialities? Its not because you started doing their cases, it because you found out how much they make. Once you admit that, then you'll be ready to decide if its right for you...

I REALLY DONT want to clean patients and change colostomy bags for one minute. I have ten years EMT experience with a BA in psychology. I love the OR but I dont want to deal with bedside care ever again. Do I have the wrong attitude LOL. I cant be th...

Oh yes I looked into that. But I admit I'm a capitalist pig. A whore when it comes to money. A person who once thought of being a lawyer for Christ's sake. An AA's dont cut the mustard. Sure, cast the first stone, ye all who dont dream of those lofty...

thanks for the replies. You guys make a lot of sense. I know anything worth having is worth working for. You gotta pay your dues. So...BRING ON THE POOP!

As Always How much do they make?

Wannabe I was responding to z about how nasty nurses and doctors try to treat you when you're a student. The nastiest thing I saw on the unit though, was a doctor drinking orange juice from a male urinal in the E.R. I also saw a nurse eating chinese ...

Let me guess London..um you're not a minority, so I wouldn't expect you to understand how ignorant thinking can hold a culture back. I do however respect your post via exclamation mark. After all, it is a free country where we can voice our opinion.....

"Big body Benz", "mega master bedroom"? You must be from the hood or someone of color. Relax, I'm a minority too, and I recognize that type of thinking, not to mention the vernacular. You shouldn't choose a profession based on monitary rewards. Espec...

Hello Tom, Your words or very encouraging and came at the right time for me. I'm trying to decide on whether to go to law school and drown in debt, or to become a CRNA. I've been an EMT now for 10 years. I'm 32 so the window has passed for me to...
