  2. Experienced Nurse training program into specialty?

    There are programs like that for entry into critical care for experienced nurses. The one I’m familiar with is a few months long and consists of clinical and classroom time, both. Try the Valley...

  4. PCT in CVICU or ER Tech?

    As someone who has worked as a tech in both CVICU and ER, I say go CVICU. It's way cooler, and you learn a ton. Shoe in as a new grad and that much closer to CRNA school. If you want anesthesia...
  5. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    It’s a good thing. It increases barrier to entry for the profession. The BSN requirement (most schools) and doctorate mandate that

    And the ability to be able to practice independently stems from years of experience? Or perhaps depends on which program you went to? I guess I’m confused as to what would allow some anesthetists...

    Do you mean travel nursing? So apparently, that was seen in a favorable light by the program director. I've debated on doing some high pay travel assignments to save up some cash before applying to NA...
  10. Moving to Oahu

    I think some hospitals on Oahu are unionized. Try to move quickly with your BSN, it is preferred in Hawaii. Queens Medical Center is the largest hospital and level 1 Trauma Center. You could try...

    What “headaches” are you saying that the CRNA profession is

    Oh okay. For registered nurses the difference is less than
  13. Valley vs Sunrise

    Sunrise and HCA do not pay "much better". A couple dollars an hour at best. Plus, the charting system that HCA uses is a pain in the
  14. How much weekly pay should I aim for?

    Yes, it does help. Thanks NedRN. Reason I asked is because I am looking more into taking a first travel assignment. I'm most interested in Fastaff because of their high pay. I know you've mentioned...
  15. Valley vs Sunrise

    Sunrise is a level 2, with more trauma involvement in their ER likely. Valley is true inner city (although sunrise is comparable), and Valley gets very sick and challenging patients in their
  16. Possible to find OR positions without experience?

    California is cream of the crop for nursing. They are the only state with ratios mandated by law, that hospitals abide by. And the majority of hospitals are unionized. Especially northern CA,...

  20. Are you sure on the Minneapolis area? I'm in Las Vegas. We have no state income tax here, we have union representation by CNA (California nurses association), new grads start at $39/hr at these select...
  21. Would you mind providing any additional details on how this is achieved? I'm considering relocation to Sacramento for this very reason. I already work for one of the hospital systems there, although...

  24. Cath lab interview advice

    I will. It's pretty overwhelming at this point and very different, but I enjoy it. It's actually a Cath Lab, IR, Stress Test, and PICC insertion position all in one. So a ton to learn. But going OK so...
