   Thanks man. The Army isn't for everybody, but we do have one of the best CRNA programs in the country. Whatever you decide, just keep at it. It'll be worth it

   Dude, that's freakin' awesome! Keep at it man. I know how hard it can be to get into some schools and all that stuff, but it'll be very much worth it once you get in there and start reaching some goals. I spent 10 years working in a steel mill befor...

   I don't want you to get ahead of yourself here but I've been having some fun on this and I thought I'd share. Its a practice exam thing and I think it might help you understand what is what and how things work a bit. Its cool because it briefly expl...

   Oh ok so you're not too far into this ABG thing yet. Sounds like your questions will be pretty straight forward. Trust me, if you know the normal values and how they affect pH, you'll be just fine. All they want to know is if you can recognize which...

   OK, I don't have the thing from my instructor. Wish I did, it was really good. BUT, I did find something in one of my books that is kinda like what she put out. pH low = Acidosis pH high = Alkalosis (duh) Now determine if its resp or met. Look at Pa...

   I'm going to look for it, but I'm not sure if I have it. I left alot of stuff at home the last time I took leave. I wish I would've kept that ICU stuff atleast. I just went and Googled ABG practice and there are a ton of online practice tests. I act...

   Someday-C.R.N.A. replied to mRpeNa's topic in General Students

   Definitely gotta look at those things, pretty much just like that. Telling alkalosis vs. acidosis is the easy part. Just look at pH. First thing to look at. If its low its acidosis, high is alkalosis. Then determine if its resp or met, then comp or...

   Thanks! I have been working hard, but there's always more to be done! Congratulations on OBLC! Have you been to Ft. Sam/San Antonio before? I really like it here. You should like BAMC, it's an awesome hospital! I was hoping I could do my clinicals h...

   Thanks! And just incase you don't already know, an ADN will get you a direct comission as a 2nd Lt. in the Reserves. (hint hint, nudge nudge)

    I just came across this old thread and thought I'd bump it up incase anyone else is thinking about doing the same thing I am. I graduated basic training on Feb. 09, and headed out for Ft. Sam Houston the same day. Graduated 68W (Medic) 16 weeks late...

    Thank you! Cryst06, thanks for the reminder. My recruiter told me about the rotations (although he was a bit more vague), and I had forgotten about it. That'll be a great experience (I hope). I'm going to be a VERY busy boy!!

    Hey guys and gals, just thought I'd stop by to post a quick update. I went to MEPS the second time on November 2 for the physical. (Already took the ASVAB the first time I was there). I passed the physical and everything was good there. Took my AIMS ...

    Aahh.. I see. I was still assuming that there was a RN, ASN program, but it appears you are right - it's a straight BSN. That makes sense. Sounds like a good deal to me, provided you're allowed enough 'free' time to persue your pre-clinical studies.

    Thanks for the replies. I think it's sounding like I should just enlist, making sure 91wm6 is in my contract, and go from there. (Obviously considering I qualify) They'll run me through BCT, then the 91w which is the EMT stuff, then LVN/LPN from ther...

    Well, I'm back. I was here a while ago while I was doing my CNA course at the local Tech. school. My plan WAS to make my work schedule work with a school schedule, and put myself through Nursing School. I tried (went to days, took a different posi...
