1. Question about Becoming a CRNA

   srna2008 replied to cdcd67's topic in SRNA

   you just call housekeeping to clean up everything..........just kidding, in the ICU, the RN cleans up the vomit, crap, blood, and any other fluids that may find their way out of the patient

2. Book: Nurse Anesthesia SECRETS

   srna2008 replied to MmacFN's topic in CRNA

   I would focus on critical care nursing materials for now. That is the base to build upon later as you prepare to apply to CRNA school. There are alot of good books out there, but most would probably be a little beyond what you need right now. All...

4. I'M IN!!!! Now what?

   srna2008 replied to joey442000's topic in SRNA

   Try and enjoy the next few months because school will take much of your time once you begin. Make sure to get your financial aid lined up ASAP. I don't really see any point in brushing up on info before school, you will learn it in class, but if yo...

5. "Must have's" for school and clinical

   srna2008 replied to vikingirl's topic in SRNA

   I got pre-punched paper, seems really simple, but it will save you some time when printing out all that material

6. More Interview stories

   srna2008 replied to gluck's topic in SRNA

   One of my interviews was clinically based. I just pretty much studied the CCRN materials and it went pretty well.

7. To all who've taken Organic Chem as a prereq...I need your advice

   srna2008 replied to iLovemyJackRT's topic in SRNA

   Like SBCHEV99 said, Organic is a different animal. I too was pre-med and took O-chem I & II. It is pretty much memorization, just put in time and you should be OK I took O chem not having had general chem in about 7 years and I didn't have a p...

8. What are my chances?

   srna2008 replied to fmagarbage's topic in SRNA

   contact program directors and ask them

9. Question from a student - DOBUTAMINE

   srna2008 replied to Savin'Em's topic in CRNA

   Dobutamine, on the other hand, has alpha properties as well. So you will see vasoconstriction and an increase in SVR. Good luck. Hope that helps I am pretty sure you meant DOPAMINE, it has alpha 1 agonism at higher doses.

10. Anyone receive invite to TCU?

    srna2008 replied to mmbmoc's topic in SRNA

    Know info that you studied to pass CCRN, that seemed to help me at TWU last year.

11. AF CRNA program

    srna2008 replied to wallyballie_golf's topic in SRNA

    I would work in a civilian ICU. The Air Force needs will come first and you are not guaranteed an ICU slot. In the AF, you would also have to spend those few years in Med-surg (that would suck). Find an ICU that takes new grads and go that route.

12. Which was harder and how much chemistry?

    srna2008 replied to revolution's topic in CRNA

    I have studied more in the first 5 weeks of CRNA school than all of nursing school. They don't compare. As far as chemistry, it is just a crash course in general, organic, and biochem. The Chemistry at my school doesn't seem to be too hard yet, t...

13. whats the reqs to be a SRNA?

    srna2008 replied to markEmark's topic in SRNA

    get into CRNA school

14. Tuition Rankings?

    srna2008 replied to antonb's topic in SRNA

    Those lists in World News don't mean too much. If you want to know how much each program is, check out the programs web site, most list it for you or you could call and just request that info from the program

15. CCRN exam

    srna2008 replied to jls189's topic in SRNA

    Try to find a friend or co-worker from your unit that has recently taken the test and see if they have the Gasparis dvd. I borrowed it from a friend and spend a few weeks watching, took questions from PASS CCRN and did very well on the test
