  1. Puerto Rico CRNA programs

    guest769224 replied to FlyMurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  3. 100 mile commute. Worth it?

    guest769224 replied to indomie23's topic in General Nursing

    Do you want all the extra miles on your vehicle? You did call it your baby,

  4. Ask a CRNA anything...

    guest769224 replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    Do you think it matters much where an applicant obtains their BSN, as long as their GPA is high? What I mean... is, does the name of the school where you did undergraduate matter

  5. Ask a CRNA anything...

    guest769224 replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    Do you feel it's important to attend an anesthesia program that has heavy exposure to learning nerve blocks? With the CRNA I've shadowed I've been told there are quite a few CRNAs/MDAs that lack that...

  6. Ask a CRNA anything...

    guest769224 replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    How do you expect the job market to be for CRNA's in the coming years? Versus that of MDA's, AA's. Is it true CRNA's are gaining more ground and more facilities are beginning to utilize

  7. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    guest769224 replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    OP stated there is no public transportation available in her rural

  8. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    guest769224 replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    OP, at this point, consider it a lesson learned, and find yourself a new job if needed. Don't get worked up over the comments on this site by anonymous people. The only person who knows the reality...

  9. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    guest769224 replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    For a measly $20 dollars? Let's see you walk through snow 15 miles in the dark for that. Sounds miserable.

  10. Is it necessary to get experience as a Rn before NP?

    guest769224 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I agree. It is disappointing to realize. If there were tighter regulations on admissions this wouldn't

  11. Is it necessary to get experience as a Rn before NP?

    guest769224 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Why might that be? Maybe because schools have caught on that admitting anybody who applies gets them as much tuition money as possible? That's why admission standards are

  12. Emory CRNA 2018

    guest769224 replied to WndrlstRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No. Definitely not worth 180K in loans. No matter who you're taught from. There's no justification for that price tag other than

  13. Is it necessary to get experience as a Rn before NP?

    guest769224 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The OP did not inquire about whether RN experience was required. The bottom line is, RN experience can be very advantageous and helpful; during school, and upon completion. Is it necessary? Depends....

  14. Is it necessary to get experience as a Rn before NP?

    guest769224 replied to nurse2bnoob101's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    This is only an opinion, not an across the board fact. A counter opinion is that yes, RN experience can be very beneficial and advantageous in terms of familiarity to situations, medication uses and...

  15. Buying/Getting Your Own Health Benefits

    guest769224 replied to MJ48's topic in General Nursing

    I pay for my own insurance each month. Medical, dental, and vision. For the most basic coverage I was quoted around $230 per month. I pay $350 per month for better coverage. I work per diem and am...

  16. How old is too old?

    guest769224 replied to Tangielee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  18. Jobless FNP

    guest769224 replied to Nicola301975's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Still in Las Vegas? There are several positions open to inexperienced NP's on craigslist, and the Indeed job board for the area. Some state they will hire new

  19. Overseas NP

    guest769224 replied to jmeinhart's topic in Advanced Practice

    You may have to end up taking locum tenens assignments here in the U.S. for short periods of time. There's been a few previous threads here inquiring about situations similar to yours and I believe...

  20. Will they require a DNP in the future to be a Nurse Practitioner?

    guest769224 replied to TAS2354's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Did they state why? So they would hire a brand new, inexperienced DNP graduate, but not Master's

  21. Nursing Life in Other States

    guest769224 replied to Nrseer12's topic in General Nursing

    It is relatively competitive for new graduates. I recommend applying to the Valley Health system. They are most welcoming to new graduates. You can easily pay off debt and make good money as an RN out...

  22. Nursing Life in Other States

    guest769224 replied to Nrseer12's topic in General Nursing

    Vegas does! You can make amazing money here as a nurse. New grads are about $35/hr and per diem starts at $52/hr. Cost of living is low and affordable. Consider relocating! I did that for my first RN...

  23. Raises

    guest769224 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    That's a bummer. Maybe you could switch to a different hosoital, in the same specialty, as a per diem making a higher hourly rate. My monthly premium for insurance is about $350. I make $600 each per...

  24. Raises

    guest769224 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Go per diem and buy private insurance if you are single and no dependents. I did that this year and make significantly more than when I was full time. I paid off all my student and car loans with the...
