You are not specifying any range so the operation defaults to current line.
Use % for the whole file:
:%s/susank/susanr/g
Other ranges:
:1,10s (substitue in first ten lines)
:1,.s (substitute up to the current line)
:.+1,$s (substitute from one after the current line to end)
For detailed info read the manual. ;-)
Go wild!
Cheers,
Dave.
