1. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

   Noobposter replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

   Lol, Umm....I'm not sure where you're getting that, what you're saying is 100% wrong. Anesthesiology one of the MOST competitive specialties to get into. Never have I come across any data, or even an opinion piece, that suggests anesthesiology is...

2. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

   Noobposter replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

   Now, you say that an MDA makes much more money....well, YEAH! Have you any idea how hard it is to 1)get into medical school, and 2) get into an anesthesiology program? Both are INCREDIBLY competitive. I think most med schools have acceptance rates ...

3. Questions regarding CRNA pay / ot

   Noobposter replied to Noobposter's topic in SRNA

   loveanesthesia, thanks for the reply. Are there any CRNA's here that work a lot of overtime that can chime in? If you're willing to work 60 hrs a week, what's the max you can make on a 1099 basis?

4. Questions regarding CRNA pay / ot

   Noobposter posted a topic in SRNA

   I've been contemplating a career change and have been reading these boards for a couple weeks now, but I still have a few questions about CRNA pay. Fyi: Before the invariable "looking at CRNA and seeing dollar signs" lecture, I already have an ad...

5. How many nurses say they want to be a CRNA?

   Noobposter replied to Annieee's topic in SRNA

   I don't know that the educational investment is inordinately short compared to other well-paying degrees. A JD is three years after a bachelor's in anything. For one, the large majority of lawyers don't make anywhere close to what the average CRNA ...

6. CRNA vs. anesthesiologist

   Noobposter replied to jermaughan0814's topic in SRNA

   You cannot be serious with this question! DO's and MD's are both physicians. You asked why should there be another doctorate degree for performing anesthesia. I'm asking why there needs to be this additional doctorate degree in medicine. A Ph.D....

7. CRNA vs. anesthesiologist

   Noobposter replied to jermaughan0814's topic in SRNA

   Why does this "doctor" exist? What the hell is a "doctor of nursing?" Now, you compared DNAP's to PharmD's (which are comparable to DDS's and DPM's, which are 'physician-level' doctors of specific branches of the medical profession). What are "physi...

8. CRNA vs. anesthesiologist

   Noobposter replied to jermaughan0814's topic in SRNA

   DocHolliday, you seem pretty hung up on this "doctorate" level of education and how most CRNA degrees are classified as master's. The truth is that you just happen to live in one of the only countries in the world that would honor your first profess...

9. Do PAs go to Med School?

   Noobposter replied to Raas4555's topic in SRNA

   My sister has always scored above the 90th percentile (USMLE, board cert exam, etc) and has over 10 years of experience in her field. She has told me a number of times that she has met PA/NPs that know more than she will probably ever know. I would...

10. CRNA vs. anesthesiologist

    Noobposter replied to jermaughan0814's topic in SRNA

    If anyone has an inferiority complex here, it is the young DocHolliday. What kind of doctor would register an account on a nursing forum just to belittle the posters? And after reading his post, I'm convinced he hasn't even read the study he is tr...

11. GREs

    Noobposter replied to Special31's topic in SRNA

    They generally say the average person can improve their score by about 200 points after working through a prep book. Unless you are below average or just too lazy to read through a book, don't waste your money on a course. I got a Kaplan book and ...

12. How did you choose your school?

    Noobposter posted a topic in SRNA

    What did you look for in a program? My state doesn't have a school, so that's not a factor for me. I saw the school rankings, but I'm guessing that probably is a little like med school rankings and doesn't really mean a whole lot. How do I choose?

13. scholarships

    What was the qualifying GRE score at your school?

14. scholarships

    Noobposter replied to Noobposter's topic in SRNA

    Much thanks. That's what I needed to know.

15. scholarships

    Noobposter posted a topic in SRNA

    Greetings! I'm new here. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintances. I was curious if CRNA schools generally offer scholarships to exceptional students. Is anyone on scholarship or know anyone that is? Thanks in advance.
