   What is your position on this Bill? Apparently, Bill was suppose to contain provisions to ensure that the services of Resident Anesthesiologist and SRNA, are paid for. I know the president vetoed the bill but it was overide by both the house and sena...

3. Shadow CRNA

   bangwa posted a topic in SRNA

   Hi All, I know this may seem like stupid questions, I am really concern. 1)How did you incorporate the fact that you have shadowed a CRNA into your application. Was it by mentioning in your personal statement, resume or you only mentioned during t...

4. CRNA vs Med school, tough decision, heres my story

   bangwa replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in SRNA

   Here is my take on it. There are many advantages to have a BSN, first you can choose to become a CRNA. Secondly if you choose to attend Med School you can work some weekends as an RN. Even prior to attending Med school while gaining nursing experienc...

   bangwa replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in SRNA

   That's very true. I was inquiring about ICU experience requirement for Anesthesiologist Assistants. PAs may have a lot of Patho Phys, and Anatomy, but remember in the CRNA programs you have to do Advanced Patho Phys, Pharm, and other advanced Scienc...

6. I'm in... with one year experience

   bangwa replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in SRNA

   For many years to come, nursing will remain an underpaid profession because of this type of debates. Very soon hospitals will start linking CRNAs and ICU experience and that will drive the CRNA salary scale. Then the next thing will be unions and so ...

   bangwa replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in SRNA

8. TCU or U Penn?

   bangwa replied to valerinna's topic in SRNA

   I don't have much to offer, but here is my 2 cents contribution. First, I will like to disagree with others about the school's prestige. I think it will matter if you intend to obtain Doctorate education, and/or go into research. IN the research worl...

10. resume help

    bangwa replied to hell000nurse's topic in SRNA

    As a general role, include just the essential on your resume. This doesn't mean it should be scanty. Remember with a good resume, one should be able to evaluate your potential. To be more specific, more writers recommend you add a statement at the bo...

12. "Hi Mrs. X, I'm Y and I'm your RN until 7."

    bangwa replied to anonymurse's topic in Men

    I think introducing myself as I am going to be your Nurse usually works for me. In most cases I am doing the introduction to family members since I work in the ICU.

    I did not know TWU has a CRNA program. I know there have one of the oldest PhD programs.

14. CRNA/PhD

    bangwa replied to bangwa's topic in SRNA

    Thanks all your inputs have definitely been very helpful. I guess I will check them out. I learned that from 2015, CRNA will be a Doctorate program just like PharmD. So I think that is what VCU is working towards. Thanks
