   Very well said.

3. Helpful Physio & Chem Prep Courses? Barry & VCU courses?

   DIGNOUT replied to AdonaiLoveable's topic in SRNA

   I have taken the Med Chem course with VCU and start at VCU in August. The course is very helpful, but it is what you make of it--- work hard, complete the reading, and complete the modules, and you should take much from it. It's set up is logical, ...

4. Why Do Crna Gets Paid So Much?

   DIGNOUT replied to disboibdavid's topic in CRNA

   I think you might want to clarify this statement. Leaving never changes anything, rather shifts the issue to "somebody else's problem" or passes the buck. AANA didn't leave when the going got tough. Leaving is losing. In the professional world...

   Glen Allen is a nice area that has seen a huge boom here of late in housing and economic growth. Being North of Richmond, and having the growing population it has, traffic is fun during rush hour... that being said, few places are immune in Richmond...

   First, I will be one of your classmates in August. I'm looking forward to meeting you all! Second, Southside encompasses a rather large area of Richmond, which is cut in half (North and South) by the James River. I live on the Southside of the Jame...

9. All CRNAs need to READ this

   DIGNOUT replied to janecristensen's topic in CRNA

   A good end to this discussion might be: I am a nurse, therefore I am not a physician. A physician is a physician, therefore he/she is not a nurse.

11. Senior SRNA Accepted to Medical School. Now what?

    DIGNOUT replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in CRNA

    Nursing vs. medicine. There's your dilemma. If you want to continue to be a nurse, you're almost done. If you want to be a physician, go to medical school. Write out a pros and cons list... discuss it with your support network/significant other.....

12. CCRN and CRNA???

    DIGNOUT replied to gators77's topic in CRNA

    One can never have too many i's dotted or t's crossed. Good luck to you.

13. Senior SRNA Accepted to Medical School. Now what?

    DIGNOUT replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in CRNA

    If you've been through a boom and bust cycle with nursing, you must be quite old indeed. What, 70, 80? You can see nursing shortage stories on the cover of Time circa WWII. It hasn't gotten any better today. You are right- supply and demand... ou...

14. I need help with interview - CRNA role

    DIGNOUT replied to fordl98's topic in CRNA

    Have you shadowed a nurse anesthetist? Doing so may give you a better idea of the roles of a CRNA... one does NOT want to apply to anesthesia school without first knowing what it is they are going to do. Be forewarned. Also, explore the AANA websi...

15. Is it okay to go to a community college?

    DIGNOUT replied to Chloe8043's topic in SRNA

    My entry into practice was at the diploma level (yes, we are still out there). I earned a concurrent AS at a junior college (yes, there are junior colleges still out there). I completed a BSN at a local university while getting good experience in C...
