1. How many of you went to Nursing School with the sole intention of becoming a CRNA?

   warzone posted a topic in CRNA

   This includes planning on working in the ICU for the minimum amount of time required by your school's program. Did this 'focus' seem to help you through your BSN program? Do you feel it hindered you in any way? It seems to most on this board that th...

3. Stress while in BSN school

   warzone replied to szoozoo's topic in CRNA

   TICU- Are you still in SLC? What school did you go to? I'm heading up that way at the end of this month. I am doing the 'career change' thing. Going from Industrial Design to nursing...hopefully CRNA. I have to take some pre-reqs, then hopefully...

4. Wanting to become a CRNA

   warzone replied to shirleyTX's topic in CRNA

   Absolutely not! People go into a variety of professions for a variety of different reasons. Everyone needs something different from their job. I do not think one reason is better than another for entering into a certain profession. It seems a lot...

5. Attn: Nilepoc Re: Tattoos, Piercings, etc.

   warzone posted a topic in CRNA

   I just read on the '37 applications' thread that you have tattoos, piercings, etc. Do you feel that having tattoos, etc. has had any affect on the way you are/were treated in school/profession? Are your tattoos visible or partially visible? The rea...

6. never heard of this

   warzone replied to blue280's topic in General Nursing

   I had a badly herniated disc at L5-S1 causing really bad sciatica. There was several things done that helped. Spinal steroid injections. Physical Therapy. Ultimately I had a microscopic discectomy which did wonders for me. It was done as outpati...

7. CNA use in the OR?

   warzone replied to warzone's topic in Operating Room

   carcha- Maybe, I am just reading all the replies to this thread wrong, but... I do not see any "what the hell" type of attitude in the posts above. Sure the replies were informal, but this is the nature of this board - or in this case the lack of ...

8. The public says no to low-level anesthesia providers

   warzone replied to meandragonbrett's topic in CRNA

   Here's something I was thinking about while reading the ASA's article - what affect does the term "Nurse Anesthetist" have on the general public's perception, vs. just using the term "Anesthetist"? Or even more influential is the way the article w...

   warzone replied to angelsuzie's topic in CRNA

   Since I am 'maturely challenged' it struck me funny that poop was telling us that we would have to clean it up! I guess I am just a visual thinker...my bad! :chuckle Ok, I am over it now. :stone

    I'm sorry but this is killing me..."as Tenesma said..." Ha! I get the worst visual. Why is poop always so funny - unless you have to clean it up.

12. CNA use in the OR?

    warzone replied to warzone's topic in Operating Room

    Thanks for your information! Yes, the Surg/Or Tech does sound interesting, but I will not have the time to get certified while finishing my 2 years in the BSN program. I'll check around and see if anyone has any openings in their OR for a CNA. I ne...

13. CNA use in the OR?

    warzone posted a topic in Operating Room

    How typical is the practice of using CNAs in the OR? Are their responsibilities just patient transport? Room prep? Clean up? The reason I ask is that I am a career changer, going from Industrial Design to Nursing. My goal is to become a CRNA. I ...

    warzone replied to warzone's topic in CRNA

    YogaCRNA- No, you are not paranoid at all, and after rereading my post, it was WAY to intrusive. I can assure you that I am not a lawyer or even anyone working in the 'legal' field...just a guy who is seriously considering becoming a CRNA. I rewo...

15. Experiences: When things go wrong.

    warzone posted a topic in CRNA

    I always hear stories about how great the CRNA profession is, but the stress encountered on the job is usually mentioned briefly. I would really like to get a better understanding of what are some of the more common problems that can occur while adm...
