    wtbcrna replied to IcySageNurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    That is going to be true no matter what the degree is. My MSN was the same way. There some NA schools that were graduating students with 500-600 cases while my class averaged around

    I take it to mean that if you are going to argue about something you should at least be educated on the matter or have some personal relevant experience/expertise. I don't think a pre-nursing...

    I didn't realize I was "uping" my degree(s). The point of stating that I have these degrees is to state that I am speaking from experience not someone who hasn't even started nursing school yet trying...

    Why do anesthesiologists make more than CRNAs?

    wtbcrna replied to Mully's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You don't have a clue about Alaska hospitals. The military is its' own beast, but I have had to work at several civilian hospitals and still work at two different civilian facilities. Yes and there...

    I haven't moved at all, if you go back and read I am military. I have been stationed at one place as CRNA, been deployed once, and have a part-time arrangement at two different places. My primary...

    CRNA school Army vs. Navy

    wtbcrna replied to JicuRN's topic in Government, Military

    The military is rarely what people with no prior exposure to it expect it to be. The day to day job of a military CRNA for the most part is like working as a civilian CRNA. We do deploy on regular...

    My advanced education isn't about prestige. That is a stupid notion anyways that most people would want to go through the trouble and expense of getting advanced education solely for the prestige. My...

    wtbcrna replied to JicuRN's topic in Government, Military

    This is a brand new program. It is about 2-3 months old. I don't know if any civilians even made into this next class. LtCol Alan Todd the clinical site director at USUHS is the one I heard from. USAF...

    Each military branch has NA training programs. The Army and the AF both now have direct entry programs to NA school for civilian applicants. All of the military programs are 36 months in length and...

    Research and recent CMS litigations for billing against ACT practices do not support your argument. There is not a possible way for anyone to be in multiple rooms at one time, so how is that you're...

    Here are some thoughts: If nursing is top heavy because we are now offering a terminal degree then physicians have been top heavy for over a century. You are still going to have the same nurses doing...
