    Tummy Tuck and BA- going back to work

    FutureCRNA? replied to hbshearer, rn's topic in General Nursing

    I am interested to know that also. I am planning a TT for early August and I'll be working a part-time nurse aid position in a hospital then, and going back to school late August. I was thinking about...

    How much do you make?

    FutureCRNA? replied to Topher53's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I didn't not know that about rural areas. It goes against conventional wisdom (city = more $) however it makes perfect sense. I live in the rural Midwest (an hour south of KC) and I plan on staying...

    Taking 2 nursing classes together

    How do clinicals work?

    FutureCRNA? replied to beccaleigh72's topic in General Students

    In my first semester, we got 1 - 8 hour day a week for 9 weeks. Doesn't seem like near enough, but I guess being the first semester, they were just getting our feet wet :) It then increases each...

    Need some insight into career direction

    FutureCRNA? replied to MrsRachelle_NSMTC's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    On the contrary, if you have goals and aspirations in life, by all means start planning NOW to meet those goals! That doesn't mean that your goals won't change, or some of them may even go away...

    How do clinicals work?

    FutureCRNA? replied to beccaleigh72's topic in General Students

    That sounds pretty normal to me. I know next semester (my third) in Med/Surg, we have 2 - 12's a week. And I believe that also applies to my 4th (and last) semester which is Advanced Med/Surg. It...

    Making money while in nursing school

    FutureCRNA? replied to DCtooRN's topic in General Students

    During my first semester of NS, I had a non-healthcare related job for an average of 12 hours a week (I had previously held the job before NS for a couple of years). For my second semester, I got a...

    Funding the CRNA expenses

    FutureCRNA? replied to mandof5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think that's a pretty average starting rate from what I've seen. And with minimal experience $150K-$200K doesn't seem abnormal

    Need to vent tired of school

    FutureCRNA? replied to Kaysmom8's topic in General Students

    Some professors are excellent teachers, others not so much. This semester, I've got an even mix of good and bad. My good one (for two classes) is above & beyond Excellent (capital E on purpose...

    Where are the new grads in ICU?

    FutureCRNA? replied to kika72's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've been told that ICU's like to hire new grads because they can groom them from the beginning of their career. That way they don't have to un-do any "bad"

    FutureCRNA? replied to pj10's topic in General Nursing

    I interviewed there a while back and I'm really hoping to get a call back sometime soon to start. I've been looking for a hospital job for about a year (on and off) I know I'll be a better nurse for...

    Dieting and nursing school

    FutureCRNA? replied to Jennybrie's topic in General Students

    I go to the gym on lunch breaks, a minimum of 3 times a week and it's great not only for health (and isn't that the best reason for dieting?) but also for de-stressing an getting the brain refreshed...

    How far is your commute and how offten do you work?

    FutureCRNA? replied to pnkgirl25's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I should also say that I deal with virtually zero traffic and can make it to school (75 mi one way) in 70 minutes. Speed limit is 75 over half way there so it's pretty zippy :) I'll be going...

    How far is your commute and how offten do you work?

    FutureCRNA? replied to pnkgirl25's topic in General Nursing

    Well I'm still a student, but I commute 150 miles round trip 5 days a week. Then on Saturdays, I drive another 150 miles for a mail route. I put about 1,000 miles a week on my car. Been doing this for...

    What was your GPA, when you got accepted into nursing school?

    FutureCRNA? replied to Kimynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My GPA was a little over 3.7. My school (a state university with a BSN program) uses GPA to determine acceptance, contingent on meeting all the other criteria. I believe I heard that the lowest...

    FutureCRNA? replied to ForestRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I broke my tailbone Christmas Day last year. I have chronic pain, at times severe and it's been almost a year. Good luck with everything. I find though that the more I stand the better it is. My...

    Nursing Student needing ADVICE!

    FutureCRNA? replied to sarahsather's topic in General Students

    I LOVE my earplugs lol. I started using them probably 2-3 years ago and since then I've slept the best I've ever slept in my life. To give reference, I'm a 32 YO married mom of two and I've been a...

    Mail management while traveling

    FutureCRNA? replied to groundedandrooted's topic in Travel

    Was your forward with the PO current? They last a year generally. Sometimes items get returned because the address isn't exactly correct - for instance it could say 101 W 1st St instead of 101 W 1st...

    Thankfully, diabetes care is drastically different than it was back then. With tight control (which is the key), complications can be mostly avoided, or at least deferred for

    Same sex fertility treatment, ethical, legal or discrimination matter?

    FutureCRNA? replied to nurse4newlife's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I've had diabetes for almost 20 years now and had trouble getting pregnant with #2 and ended up using IUI with injectables. That comment made me sad because I sincerely love my kids and I tend to be...
