  1. Yes, another question about CRNA pay?

    Pay definately varies with location like with anything else, so do benefit packages. I work in a relatively rural hospital as a CRNA, my net income for the year is already over $100,000 and the group I work for pays my malpractice/healthcare insuran...
  2. Is Burn ICU enough for CRNA school

    Hello, I am a CRNA. My critical care/ICU experience came solely from a Burn ICU. The unit I worked in is part of a Level I trauma center so we got all the big burns. My experiences are pretty much what RedCell described, our patients were very sic...
  3. January 2012 Barry University CRNA program

    That will depend on whether you can sit in a classroom without an instructor present and not get side tracked. The instructors are easy to reach via phone and email. Plus the satellite program they use to teach is 2-way, so you can always ask questi...
  4. January 2012 Barry University CRNA program

    Hey guys, I'm a graduate of the Barry CRNA program. To answer your question about Orlando being the hardest of the clinical rotations, the answer is, yes and no. You will be worked long hours and treated like crap for awhile no matter where you go. ...
  5. Where did you get your BSN?

    Hi, Received my BSN at the University of Central Florida. RN-BSN as an online program, no issues with CRNA school acceptance as I'm a CRNA now.
  6. Would love some advice from CRNA's and nurses accepted into CRNA programs!!!

    Hey Portland Medic, I too am a Paramedic, I am also a CRNA. Becoming a CRNA was the best thing I ever did, take what you know now and increase it a thousand fold. PLUS....no working in the rain, snow, car wrecks on busy roads with speeding traffic ...
  7. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    I'm a CRNA in an ACT model. Supervision is a medicare formality for BILLING, it has absolutely nothing to do with the delivery of the anesthetic. My supervision consists of a MDA coming by sometime during the case and signing my record. Other than...
  8. Frustration: CRNA finally within reach... I hope...

    I think you have a really good chance of being accepted to a program.
  9. CRNA- is a strong science background really relevant towards being a CRNA

    Hopefully one of those CRNA's will NEVER do my anesthesia.
  10. CRNA- is a strong science background really relevant towards being a CRNA

    Then your research ability is very inept or you've been extremely misguided. As a CRNA I prescribe and designate the anesthetics given to my patients every shift, all day long. I don't turn to a physician to see what the person wants to use. I interv...
  11. GRE

    Different programs weight the GRE score differently. It's a pretty subjective test IMO. Your overall score is good and you did much better in the math section over the verbal. The admission commitees will look at the math score more than the other...
  12. Scared to mention even the slightest interest in CRNA progams?

    I too once stood in front of my nursing class and shared my intentions to become a CRNA. I did this as a Paramedic coming into a nursing program, so I was already seen by some as an "invader" and when CRNA spewed from my mouth, I painted a target on ...
  13. Overtime?

    Hello, I am a new CRNA, finally earned my certificate and state license waaaay back in June. The facility I work is based on an hourly rate and OT for us is available via call for the general OR and for OB. Many of the CRNA's I work with earn $200,...
  14. Decadron Question

    The antiemetic properties of Decadron are not really well understood. However, research has shown that Decadron may antagonize prostaglandin synthesis and/or release endorphins improving mood, sense of well-being and stimulation of appetite; these f...
  15. best units to gain experience on before CRNA school

    CVICU seems to be a favorite, however any ICU with high acuity patients is beneficial. I worked in a Burn ICU before CRNA school.
