    I am wondering if any Travel Nurses (or other nurses) have seen any hospitals that allow travel nurses to park their RVs in a hospital lot and/or a RV lot intended for patients? Especially @NedRN as...

    Do you know if the classes are synchronic (everyone on line for the class at the same time) or if the classes are asynchronic (no need to be online at the same time)? Wondering for staff or travel job...

  10. Business of anesthesia

    MierKat replied to Shembree's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I’m late replying but I agree that you don’t need an MBA. I have one but you don’t need one to run your business. There’s a great book you should read. Nurse practitioner’s business and...

  11. Why don't more NPs advocate for better training?

    MierKat replied to Angeljho's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's a really negative slur and misogynist to boot. I'm sure that most NP students are not soccer moms. Rather they are working professional RNs - MALE OR FEMALE - that want to support their...

    MierKat replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Gonzaga's BSN nursing programs are very well respected in the Northwest as is their CRNA. I'm sure that the NP programs have a similar good reputation. For the NP program, I believe that you have to...

  15. Is there any way to increase chances of getting into CRNA school with low GPA?

    MierKat replied to crownsk's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ways to stand out: More than 1 year minimum experience, CCRN, perhaps experience as a preceptor or charge nurse or governance committees. The most likely way to mitigate the low GPA would be a high...

    MierKat replied to PediatricCTICURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    PediatricCTICURN - Do you have any private debt or is it all government guaranteed? You can check, but most of the government debt will go into forbearance while you're in school but the private debt...

    MierKat replied to MDdropouttoCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you have a your RN/BSN, then CRNA is the way to go. If you don't already have your RN, then Certified Anesthesiology Assistant (CAA or AA) may be more direct and quicker because you don't need the...

    MierKat replied to vzcookie's topic in Travel

    A couple of ideas. I'm sure your reasons for travelling are good. Have you tried to explain that to your family? That it's the combination of good pay, good conditions and a good career for a young,...

    Nashville hotels are quite expensive. The hostel in Nashville is pretty good (even has private rooms which could be cheaper than a hotel). It is located near Vanderbilt and Music Row so an Uber or...
