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

   u-r-sleeepy replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in SRNA

   I'm not surprised the plastic surgeon encouraged you to consider becoming a CRNA. I am a practicing CRNA of (almost) 5 years now and I can't tell you how grateful I am for the decision I made to become a CRNA. I have lots of "friends" who I work wi...

2. What one message about CRNA's do you wish the public "got".

   u-r-sleeepy replied to Roland's topic in CRNA

   Hhhmmm... not sure of your background here, but I would venture that only SOME of the MDAs "...perform almost equally well" as CRNAs! I work with one MDA currently who is absolutely TERRIFIED of being left alone (i.e. without a CRNA around to actual...

3. 13 more shifts until I become a SRNA!

   u-r-sleeepy replied to jenniek's topic in CRNA

   Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!! Oh my - I am still laughing about this one - hahaha!!! "...placing my head..." I had forgotten about that feeling and you brought it all back to me - how many years back now. That is exactly what I felt and really how the prog...

4. What one message about CRNA's do you wish the public "got".

   u-r-sleeepy replied to Roland's topic in CRNA

   Hhmmm... I think you have a little "homework" to do regarding your understanding of medical billing being "different" in most situations for CRNAs vs. MDAs/DOAs. Still, it is absolutely true that it costs an unbelieveable amount of $$$$ to train 1 M...

5. my laptop, in hindsight

   PS - If you really want one of these but the money is discouraging you, you can try their online apple store and go to the "refurbished" section. I don't know if this link will work http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/714...

   Where do we start? (and this from a long-time "pee-cee" user myself) - ease of use (no "computer tech" skills required here) - reliability of both hardware and operating system (near-bullet-proof OS) - pretty much impervious to viruses - cross-p...

   I remember two of my classmates who were on the alternatives list and both got in without having to wait a year. Good luck! Sleeepy

11. Pain Management CRNA

    u-r-sleeepy replied to TejasDoc's topic in CRNA

    ...because you BIG DUMMY! - That might get some of the doc$' undies in a bundle! You can't have little CRNAs trying to get off the ACT "plantation" now, can you? The next thing you know - they're going to want to roam about to and fro - and practi...

13. Travel CRNA opportunities for new grads-Realistic?

    u-r-sleeepy replied to allapeyre's topic in CRNA

    I'm just playing "catch up" again - Perhaps TejasDoc really does understand the hypocrisy of his (A$A's) position of trying to convince us of just how important it is to have their $upervi$ion during the daytime hours... Heaven forbid the public (a...

15. Interesting - new "bedside manners" test for med students -

    u-r-sleeepy replied to u-r-sleeepy's topic in CRNA

    I personally think that this test will only add to the hassle without producing any identifiable benefits. While you can teach communication skills, I believe the way to produce physicians who perform better in this category has more to do with who ...
