    Thanks for the comments...I am taking this course at the end of July. I will post my comments about the course then :)
  2. ENPC v.s PEPP

    Does anyone have any recommendations as to which class is "better"? I've heard mixed opinions about both. Please enlighten me :)
  3. Intubations

    See what works for you best and try out different things....It seems like many people (incuding myself), like using a MAC 3. Another really great technique (especially for difficult airways) is to use a a gum elastic "bougie". You can use this to i...
  4. er or icu first?

    I agree with "getting all the experience you need"; I would have gone to the ER if I didn't get my job because of lack of variety of patient populations...I didn't mean to sound as if the ICU experience is "better". I was thinking ICU might be bette...
  5. er or icu first?

    I have recently been hired on as a flight nurse, with ONLY having an ICU background...Although I have never worked in the ER, I strongly suggest experience in ICU...You will learn an excellent head to toe assessment, comprehensive monitoring (Invasiv...
  6. Flight Nurse Interview

    Wow! Thanks a lot Rio for all your information...I will "study up" on some of my weak spots...I am so excited for this interview I can hardly stand it!!
  7. Not trying to stir up bad ideas, but......

    Although I am not a CRNA (yet), I have been doing my homework on this topic...What I find interesting is that studies indicate no differences (morbidity&mortality) whether anesthesia is delivered by a CRNA or an MDA...The practice of anesthesia w...
  8. Flight Nurse Interview

    I have an interview next week for a "flight nurse" position... Can anyone tell me what types of questions to expect? Any other comments, suggestions are GREATLY appreciated!!
  9. GRE Preparation

    There are a few I used...Kaplan makes a great GRE prep book that contains all components of the GRE (Analytical writing, Verbal and Quant). Its basically what you will learn in $1000 course! Kaplan also makes a small "GRE flashcard/book" with like ...
  10. gpa 3.2

    I think there are several things you can do to "Improve" the appearance of your application.... 1) Experience 2) CCRN 3) Become ACLS/BLS Instructor and other things to "beef up" your application 4) Attend an Anesthesia conference 5) Meet with the dir...
  11. Interview

    I have heard from others who did their interviews, that they REALLY want to see if you know what a CRNA does; the role, function et. I'm told that many people applying for CRNA schools, don't have a clue what a CRNA is/does...If you haven't shadowed...
  12. Why do you love anesthesia??

    I am applying to CRNA school for admission next fall....As an ICU nurse, I love hemodynamics, physiology, ventilators and of course titrating multiple vasoactive gtt's ...CRNA seems like a "step up" from what I am doing now...I went into the OR to "s...
  13. Everyone and their dog

    In the bay area where I work, I have only noticed the "trend" of becoming an NP...Not a ton of CRNA talk; I think the amount of experience and schooling drives people away....Numerous ICU positions here!!
  14. Need an ONLINE Chemistry Class

    I am short Chemistry credits and I need to take an online Chemistry class (Preferably Biochem or something less painful than O chem) as a prerequisite for the CRNA school I am applying to...Anyone have a recommendation?
