1. Any tips for UNE organic chem final?

   DCdea replied to pumpkin's topic in SRNA

   yep, I took the UNE chem 1010 as a pre-req to my CNRA program that I'm starting this fall and it was difficult! I pretty much studied an average of 10-14 hours a week to get an A. I thought I was going to be one of those classes that I crammed for ...

2. help, which job do I pick??? CRNA vs. NP/RNFA

   DCdea replied to DCdea's topic in Advanced

   Thanks for the info! The paycheck is nice, but I'm more excited about anesthesia in general. Working my whole career in acute care and surgery as a NP has taught me a lot....but I'm excited to focus on anesthesia now. Thanks for all the advice!

   DCdea replied to DCdea's topic in Advanced

   Thanks for the advice....I turned down the job. It was 40 hours a week plus required OT whenever they need me to finish a case...plus call every 4th night....averaging 2-3 hearts a day. Impossible to know if I can pick up my kid from day care. I'm...

   DCdea replied to DCdea's topic in Advanced

   I would just be in CT surgery. No admitting/H&P's.....Yeah I'm just afraid I'll be treated like a RNFA and work up to 80 hours a week in OT and call. CRNA seems more up my alley but more loans. Thanks for the input.

13. Georgetown CRNA fall 2016

    DCdea replied to DCdea's topic in SRNA

    Sounds like they should be notifying you soon. I had two clinical questions. I am a NP and they asked me obviously why am I now deciding to become a CRNA. Also, they asked what would I do if a patient's 02 sats were dropping.....and when I made a...
