   micugirl replied to micugirl's topic in CRNA

   Okay - well keep your head up & play the game! I have been practicing for 3.5 years now and love my job!! The one who said keep it in perspective-- you are not fighting on the front lines in war gave me incentive to jeep going. Trust me, my best ...

2. Deciding whether to drop out CRNA school?

   micugirl replied to micugirl's topic in CRNA

   I am still in my program, and although I have the occasional run-into with the person that was abusive, I have tried to utilize everyone in the forum's advice here, and stick with it. I did try antidepressants, which did not help in that they gave me...

3. Deciding whether to drop out CRNA school?

   micugirl replied to micugirl's topic in CRNA

   Thank you for your honest posting. I was wondering if there were any other factors that fed into your quitting. How were they making it harder on you? Verbal harrassment?, etc. I have started antidepressants, which I have never had to take in my life...

   Thank you everyone for your advice, and I am going to go in ths weekend (reluctantly) & see if anything changes. I just feel like I'm facing my own death everyday, and my Vital Signs & emotions go with that feeling. I cannot smother those eit...

5. Deciding whether to drop out CRNA school?

   micugirl posted a topic in CRNA

   Hi, I am looking for some friendly advice. I have the worst time with clinicals lately, being that we are a program that gets thrown in head first after 2 months of class. I thought it would be better in the local area, but this is my 3rd rotat...

6. Not trying to stir up bad ideas, but......

   micugirl replied to Brian_SRNA's topic in CRNA

   Ultimately, it appears you would have to trust a CRNA with a family member, because there are not enough of them to do all the cases needed to be done, unless you have one at your beck & call as a favor to the family.

   micugirl replied to Brian_SRNA's topic in CRNA

   In NC, our Nursing practice act allows CRNA's to practice independently, as long as another MD is present, but it does not have to be an anesthesiologist. Thus, in private practices, a CRNA can work under a cosmetic surgeon, although that surgeon usu...

8. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

   micugirl replied to Terpole's topic in SRNA

   I agree that Anesthesia is not for everyone, and now that I have had some practitioners that are considerate of our learning curve compared to the other students who have a year preload classes, then I have had a better time in clinical. I mean, I do...

9. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

   micugirl replied to Terpole's topic in SRNA

   Yes, the "getting in everyone's way"-part is so true,and I can't do anything right, except get the intubations. The girl I am with feels like she has it down pat to the point they are leaving her alone in the room her 2nd week, but she has had a lot ...

10. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

    micugirl replied to Terpole's topic in SRNA

    I see your point deepz, and I think it must be stressful to have a student that knows so little throwing a wrench in your plan. Just maybe recommend to the schools that are sending their students to you, that maybe their students need certain guidel...

    Just know that they are very nice to you while you shadow,but it's a different world when you come in there to persue the CRNA career. They eat you alive!

12. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

    micugirl replied to Terpole's topic in SRNA

    Here's my thing ... I am in clinicals right now as SRNA, and I absolutely hate it. It is my first week, ...well, this will be my 2nd. But, the people that I was with were so cruel with their verbal & nonverbal, that I just cried the rest of the d...

13. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    micugirl replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

    In other words, you do not have a valid answer to explain how this deficit in patient care would be compensated by the AA?

14. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    micugirl replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

    I have a question. I am in CRNA school right now. I know there is a heated debate over the legilation of AA's here in this state, NC. What I would like to know is how do you replace the countless hours of monitoring the patient and the family at the ...

15. CRNA school with children

    micugirl replied to crnastudent1's topic in SRNA

    I am in school right now...just started with a 3 year old, and I too, was worried about how to balance. As long as you can trust where your kids are when you are at school, and have a back-up for their sick days, then it's okay. It took me about a ye...
