2. SRNA's in MSN programs

   TJ8A replied to TJ8A's topic in SRNA

   Smiley, Convenience was a contributing fatcor for myself as well. Another factor was the quality of the program and the reputation of the excellent CRNA's it produces. However, if the same levels of convenience and reputation were in place for me to ...

3. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

   TJ8A replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in SRNA

   Here's a tip: (confirmed by others in this thread too) Don't use EDUCATED BORROWER!! I originally applied for my loan in late July as I wanted to use my current income as an RN to qualify for more $$. Well, I finally had to close my application with ...

4. SRNA's in MSN programs

   TJ8A posted a topic in SRNA

   Looking for a little feedback here...For all of you who chose an MSN program vs MS degree program, are you happy with your decision? Why or why not? I'm currently in my first semester of an MSN anesthesia program. I find the nursing core courses (The...

6. HEY GOP: Attacking Hillary Isn't a Health Plan

   TJ8A replied to lizzyj's topic in Activism

   I'm looking forward to graduating anesthesia school in two years. I'd be an idiot to think the socialized medical plan being touted by Clinton would benefit my practice at all. In fact, I wouldn't be going to anesthesia school in the first place. It'...

7. if you have actually USED a nurse pro pack...

   TJ8A replied to cpnegrad07's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I used mine everyday as a critical care nurse and even when I worked in the ER. I think I had the medium sized one, if that's an option. The tape loops are nice. Some people called it my "fanny pack" and we all had a good laugh about it from time-to-...

8. Organ Harvesting Anesthesia

   TJ8A replied to naturalgas's topic in CRNA

   I'm a student and I've seen one. Mass Gen has a quaint overview for anesthesia's role. You'll have to dig for it though. We focused on hemodynamic stability, oxygenation, and fluid balance. I specifically remember that we had to keep reminding the p...

9. Nursing theory-Do you use it at work?

   TJ8A replied to grdstdnt's topic in New Nurse

   Here's the link to a funny, yet dead-on article about nursing theory. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2843/is_5_24/ai_67691837 It provided great comic relief as I completed a bogus paper in nurse anesthesia school about nursing theory. I feel ...

10. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    TJ8A replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA

    To answer your question: Yes, I know what institutionalized discrimination is. As it pertains to African Americans, I've read several books by McWhorter, et al. dealing with this subject specifically. My opinion is that your claim of institutionalize...

11. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    TJ8A replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA

    I was commenting on the "proof" in your statement about if 'one person experienced it, that's proof it exists'. That's not the proof Zozzy was talking about. That was an opinion. He was asking for solid evidence from the poster that bashed all anesht...

12. I just took the GRE

    TJ8A replied to Burnt2's topic in SRNA

    Congradulations!! :yelclap: You scored very well. Nice to see the fruits of your labor pay off sometimes, isn't it? I think with the 4.0's in graduate level courses and a CCRN you'll be MUCH more competitive...as long as you're also meeting the minim...

14. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    TJ8A replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA

    I tend to believe it is not true that African Americans are discriminated against in Michigan CRNA programs. Take a look at the faculty. One program (Wayne State) has an African American Program Director and two others have African American Assistant...

15. Ques. for those that applied to CRNA school with 1 yr RN experience

    TJ8A replied to 2bNurseNikki376's topic in SRNA

    RNFPC, I think a manager that would not write a good recommendation for an applicant because he/she did not work for x number of years on a particular unit shows poor professional ethics and lack of commitment on the part of the manager. Unless so...
