1. CRNA's and pain mgt techniques/pain clinics

   TexasGas replied to sleepyrasrn's topic in CRNA

   I suggest you update your knowledge of how aggressive CRNA schhols, at least the ones I am in contact with, are about the pursuit of training in pain management. More and more fluro labs along with practice are popping up to train CRNAs to perform p...

2. All CRNAs need to READ this

   TexasGas replied to janecristensen's topic in CRNA

   To the original poster, and all of those that ever took this thread seriously.... The first poster is no CRNA. If so this person lacks the confidence that I believe is necessary to make critical decisions on her own. Its possible that the original...

3. Does which school I get my CRNA matter?

   TexasGas replied to MNNurseCorps's topic in SRNA

   I agree. Go with what fits you best. The COA has mandatory courses of study and required resident hours of each CRNA student, regardless of school. Congrats on getting 2 offers, now choose the one that fits YOU. Recognized shmeckonized. Only CRN...

   TexasGas replied to bangwa's topic in SRNA

   Not to spark debate, but As a poster mentioned abouve, Wesleyan will also have a DNP program in 2008. TCU will not even be the only program in the city.

5. My chances, please reply with anything

   TexasGas replied to Putu2Sleep's topic in SRNA

   I'd say your chances are great. I'd leave out the accomplishments of the hospital (The top 50 thing). The school will be interested in you and what your knowledge and responsibilities are. There are some great nurses in crappy hospitals. Otherwis...

6. Why Do Anesthesiologists Despise CRNA's?

   TexasGas replied to DermNP2Be's topic in SRNA

   Anesthesiologists are only one facet of the huge array of MDs. There are surgeons, family practice docs, peds, etc... For the most part, resistance from MDs comes from young anesthesiologists and some of the old guard that remain politically active....

8. Those stupid GRE scores to count....

   TexasGas replied to gasmaster's topic in SRNA

   Do not be discouraged. The staff at TWU (As I'm certain it is at most places) is open and honest. Practice themath problems. Study them for at least one month, to the point that you can solve problems without crib notes. Raise your score. Added C...

9. Ques. for those that applied to CRNA school with 1 yr RN experience

10. Is organic chemistry required?

    TexasGas replied to Nursing P.'s topic in SRNA

    Nursing Pimp, You can do the organic. It is a name that sounds fancy, but is easy when one applies themself. Organic is mostly memorization of structures. Your understanding of the bonding of those molecular structures will serve you well, no matt...

11. Career change: Lawyer to CRNA.

    TexasGas replied to Riptide McGee's topic in SRNA

    This statement could be no further from the truth. AAs do NOT have the same job description NOR scope of practice. AAs are very limited in their practice. They MUST be supervised by MDAs. CRNAs require no such supervision in virtually all setting...

13. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

    TexasGas replied to paindoc's topic in CRNA

    You may have debt of $120-130k, but surely your program didn't cost a total much more than $50k. On top of that, medical school and residency costs some public monies that are not allocated to nursing education. Medical residents are generally paid ...

14. Delayed entry after admission?

    TexasGas replied to badgernurse's topic in CRNA

    Please take this for what it is, an opinion. But if you are applying for a school during a said class (year), they too are conducting interviews for that exact class. I view it that if you have accpeted a chance to interview, you are aware of the d...

15. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

    TexasGas replied to paindoc's topic in CRNA

    Oh my. You have such an original idea. You mean you volunteer your services... for no charge? I should call HVO (Health Volunteers Overseas) and let them know you came up with the idea first. Many, many people of all health professions volunteer t...
