   Outdoor1 replied to vn1234's topic in SRNA

   1. Yes there are tons of volunteer opportunities 2. Yes you can work independently in all 50 states. The only thing that limits your opportunity is the facility you are in. 3. The only way it would be hard to switch to admin/edu is the salary cut...

4. Parents won't support my decision

   Outdoor1 replied to vn1234's topic in SRNA

   I am not Indian, but have worked with some and understand how your culture is affecting this decision. They probably just don't realize what we do as CRNA's. I know in your culture if you aren't a doctor, lawyer, or business owner you just aren't c...

5. Minority Nurse applying to CRNA school

   Outdoor1 replied to bucknangler's topic in SRNA

   This is possibly the worst advice that I have ever heard given. First of all as a previous poster mentioned no one cares at all what race you are when you are delivering their anesthesia. I'd be more than happy to have someone who was purple put me...

   Just get into the nursing program and graduate. If you take any extra classes take extra bio, or chem. Focus on the schools that you'd like to get into and see what they require that you don't have. Don't worry too much at this time you are far aw...

9. TCU Interviewees!!!!!!

   Outdoor1 replied to mmbmoc's topic in SRNA

   When you see both campuses, meet the staff, go through the interview processes you will not have any problem making a decision. At least I didn't. TCU is hands down a better campus, resources, etc. They take care of their students too once they ge...

10. LPN ICU experience

    Outdoor1 replied to srleslie's topic in SRNA

    I would tend to agree with the others that it would not count if you aren't fully functioning in ICU. Where I was our LVN's did everything. Best of luck O

11. LPN ICU experience

    Outdoor1 replied to srleslie's topic in SRNA

    It should count. Most places no longer allow LVN's to practice in critical care settings, but when I was an ICU RN there were a few LVN's grandfathered in who knew their stuff. Just remember all of your experiences in life count in making you what ...

    Outdoor1 replied to jin00005's topic in CRNA

    It will get easier with time for you to manage things. You are going through what we all went through our first months of school. Nothing can really prepare you for it. Just keep at it. Good luck and keep it up. O
