   BeatOU replied to 1CVRN's topic in SRNA

    dfk, Thanks for your thoughts. If an MDA has had clinical time prior to his anesthesia residency, then I drop my argument completely and without reservations. I thought they graduated med school and then started clinicals as an anesthesia intern, w...

15. only 1 year of experience

    BeatOU replied to jessicah67's topic in SRNA

    About this one year of experience debate. Why is it all right for an Anesthesiologist to be accepted to medical school without working for X many years as an ICU RN but to be a good CRNA applicant we must? Aren't CRNA's doing the same job as Anesth...
