   In your daily practice, do you usually reverse some of the shorter acting agents like mivacron (after full return of twitches)? What about nimbex? I have seen it done different ways. Your responses would be greatly appreciated!

6. MSN going into CRNA?

   Isuhd8u replied to MissPriss's topic in CRNA

   At my program (Charlotte, NC) having a MSN already will shave off 5 classes. This is a whole lot less than what you will have to take in completing a full MSN program. And you are right, it will not decrease the length of program, just the load. I...

12. What do I need to do to improve chances.

    Isuhd8u replied to fibikunle1's topic in CRNA

    Once you complete your BSN and start your application process for anesthesia school, I recommend taking graduate level courses that are in the anesthesia curriculum (i.e. physiology, theory, stats etc). Earn A's in these classes. It will not only l...

13. IS BSN a requirement?

    Isuhd8u replied to rhp123's topic in CRNA

    I have both an ADN and BSN and have worked at many different hospitals over the years. It has been my experience that the employers do not pay any more for a BSN. Pay is based on years of experience.
