1. UT Memphis anyone?

   Kason replied to TeenyBabyRN's topic in CRNA

   Jill (UT Memphis's director) was my director in Virginia when I first started. She is very well organized and knows her stuff. I'm sure Memphis's program will improve due to her new arrival. Good luck!

2. Train of Four

   Kason replied to Kason's topic in CRNA

   Thanks for such a quick response guys. I'm glad there are people out there that get this stuff. Does the anticholinesterase block the Ach receptors pre or post synaptically? Don't they also decrease the amount of plasma cholinesterase to some exten...

3. Train of Four

   Kason posted a topic in CRNA

   I'm having a hard time figuring out why we shouldn't reverse a patient if we get 0 out of four twitches. I understand that if we do give a reversal in that situation, they can recurarize later, but I thought there was another reason why you shouldn...

4. Rural Jobs

   Kason posted a topic in CRNA

   I'm in my second semester and I most likely will want to practice in a rural setting when I finish school in 22 months (seems so far away). For those of you that currently work in a rural setting, what should I be focusing on in my studies and clinic...

5. Should Anesthesia Be an only MD Profession

   Kason replied to Oldsalt's topic in CRNA

   School is what you make out of it! I agree with oldsalt, I feel that what you put in to it, is what you get out of it. As for MDAs visiting this chat site, I appreciate the MDAs (like Tenesma) that take the time to answer clinical questions.

6. ODU & VCU

   Kason replied to dkbmcclellan's topic in CRNA

   I had 1 1/2 years of ICU experience. Spend some time studying for the GRE, as long as you get above 1500 you should be fine. Tey didn't drill me with questions. I sat at a table with 3 other individuals and felt very comfortable. They explained w...

7. ODU & VCU

   Kason replied to dkbmcclellan's topic in CRNA

   Both are great programs, I'm in the ODU program and of course I have my biased opinions. What specific questions do you have?

9. Black Widows

   Kason posted a topic in CRNA

   Can anyone tell me the effect of a black widows venom has on the nervous system. I've read that the venom actually decreases the space in the synaptic gap from 20nm to 5-10nm, thus increasing acetylcholine availablity to the motor end plate. Does s...

12. torn between law or CRNA

    Kason replied to bookworm's topic in CRNA

13. ASN -> CRNA? NP? MD?

    Kason replied to babymeena's topic in CRNA

    First of all, congrats on achieving you ADN! Asking a CRNA discussion board about what field is better, don't be surprised if we a little biased. CRNA schools cost anywhere from 25,000 to 75,000 give er take a few bucks. School is very demanding a...

14. List of CRNA Programs, General Info provided

    Kason replied to MajorEvans's topic in CRNA

    Hey Roland, I think you should also include more questions about the actual program. Are ther any mandatory away sites for clinical? Is there competition between srna and residents for cases? What percent of your students have passed their boards ...

15. Risks and Benefits and Consent for Anesthesia

    Kason replied to nilepoc's topic in CRNA

    Yeah, it's unbelievable. What freaks me out is that we are reliable for the mistakes the surgeon makes, because we allowed the surgeon to perform a procedure outside of the consent. It's all about CYA!
