   lady_stic replied to guest897350's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   You're really hung up on that. I certainly didn't mean that you knew "nothing." That must've really hurt your feelings. One thing that we can agree on is that @wtbcrna is an excellent resource. I've...

   lady_stic replied to guest897350's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I see that you're still hung up on my poor choice of words. Let me clarify that I didn't literally mean that you knew "absolutely nothing" about CRNAs. I forgot how careful I have to be on these sites...

   lady_stic replied to guest897350's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Rhetoric is not my priority right now especially when I'm typing a response on my iPhone in a doctor's office. "Potential CRNA", current CRNAs with your mentality, whatever...you very well get the...

   lady_stic replied to guest897350's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   AA is certainly not a dying profession. The ASA is actually very aggressively attempting to get them licensed in other states with Texas being one. If it were up to the ASA, they would replace all...

   lady_stic replied to guest897350's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Even the most reasonable person can get pissed off by ignorance sometimes. You have absolutely NO idea what a CRNA does and that is evident by your remarks. Considering the political battles that I'm...

   "Unlike others on this website, I look forward to advanced and prolonged mentoring by physicians once I am in practice. I see it as tantamount to residency training/apprenticeship, and I think...

9. can i really get into crna school

   lady_stic replied to taylor-ccrn-cmc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I can definitely relate because I've been through the same thing. I suppose if I was more discouraging, I could be solidifying my job security like many CRNAs do. I don't believe in that, however....

    Yes, you can get in and absolutely stay in. No doubt about that. It's the hardest thing you'll probably ever do but it's such an awesome journey and well worth it. Several of my classmates only have a...

11. Advice for Aspiring CRNA

    lady_stic replied to jsteeler's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Key word: WANT. Every nurse wants to become an APRN but how many actually implement it? I've known so many people that have said they were gonna take that path but never did. Do what you love. I love...

    lady_stic replied to bayareaFNPstud's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yup! Did the exact same thing. Same cumulative GPA. I did take advanced patho and adv health assessment in NP school which probably helped. You'll have to make sure everything else is strong to make...

15. CRNA School

    lady_stic replied to kmsberg's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your stats look like mine. I had CCRN and took 2 grad courses. If you retook a science or two and get As, that should be work as well. I applied to 6 programs to give myself a better chance. I got an...
