   What exactly happened at Valley review ?

2. Malignant Hyperthermia

   Businessman replied to SN Mommy's topic in CRNA

   SN mommy, You should definitely dig into this very deeply. We are changing breathing circuits after each patient to avoid spreading the "triggers" for MH. That being said, every single CRNA will be exposed at least once to agents that are considere...

3. MAC how Deep is your Depth?

   Businessman replied to Oldsalt's topic in CRNA

   Oldsalt, With experience, all your concerns will be addressed. If you're looking for a "perfect formula" that will tell you what MAC should be used on a pt based on his age, ASA, history, etc, ... there is none. That's why CRNA training is so inte...

4. Independent Contracting/S-Corps?Benefits Etc.

   Businessman replied to DIVER CRNA's topic in CRNA

   http://www.nchinc.com/faq-structure.htm#ccorp This is a good link to give you the lowdown on the main differences between various legal entities. Rule of thumb: you'll need to make 20-25% more as an 1099, to break even. Also, ask yourself: are you d...

5. CRNA school and 10 year pre req limit?

   Businessman replied to Uberman5000's topic in SRNA

   Some schools may not require it, but the boards requirements are the same. The more you know, the better prepared you'll be. The basis of any pathophys book is biochemistry. I am a Wolford student, and some of my classmates cried their hearts out aft...

6. anesthesia and math....

   Businessman replied to ECU_CRNA2B's topic in CRNA

   I'll try to simplify the concepts: Always use the int'l units of measure (kg and liters). If you're using mL, then you should be using grams. Q: How many miligrams of Lido are found in 40 mL of a 1% solution? A: 0.4 grams 1% solution => 1 gram of...

7. Wolford College Anyone??

   Businessman replied to SRNAtobe's topic in SRNA

   Just be yourself. The interviewing committee is very friendly. No outrageous clinical questions. Good luck

8. All CRNA practice

   Businessman replied to movinsouth's topic in CRNA

   From a professional point of view, you should be fine, as the school prepares you to work on your own in most situations. When it comes to choosing a place to work, other criteria might have some weight: - culture of the group - hours of work (covera...

9. CRNA's in the U.K!

   Businessman replied to jjjez's topic in CRNA

   Maybe in Canada the physicians' lobby is too strong. It's a pity, as all Canadians are overpaying because of it...

10. Wolford College Anyone??

    Businessman replied to SRNAtobe's topic in SRNA

    I am fortunate to have saved some money, but if you count on GI bill entirely, be prepared for delays. Start looking at private education loans (there was a thread with a ton of info). They will be with higher interest, but better to get started now ...

11. CRNA's in the U.K!

    Businessman replied to jjjez's topic in CRNA

    In health care, as in many other fields, the market drives change. NHS will go towards CRNA's, simply because they are a cheaper alternative to anesthesiologists. The long track record of the US CRNA's will have opened the path for UK CRNA's, even if...

12. University of South Carolina

    Businessman replied to USCARN's topic in SRNA

    You're right - USC does not have a anesthesiology residency program. I was thinking of MUSC in Charleston ... In my case, though, having applied to 4 other schools and having seen all 4 open and communicative, makes USC look not interested. If I we...

13. University of South Carolina

    Businessman replied to USCARN's topic in SRNA

    USC was one of the schools I've applied to, but I'm very dissapointed by them so far. I've called twice to make sure they've received all the materials, and the lady on the other end was very bored and uncaring. (maybe it's b/c I'm from PA). The othe...

14. 1099 Contract for a new grad

    Businessman replied to bwt02's topic in CRNA

    As one who has a business degree, I can tell you that things are not that clear cut. 1099 positions are for people who better know how to maximize the tax deductions, without raising flags with the IRS. After talking to a CPA who does tax returns for...

15. Frustrated!! Anyone heard Anything from or about Youngstown Ohio Crna program?

    Businessman replied to jaslo98's topic in SRNA

    Dismissing a program outright for being slow in communication, it's a bit of a knee-jerk reaction. This time of the year it's graduation time for BS and MSN. Ask "Vinnysca" about the program - he's a student there. If I were in your shoes, I'd assume...
