By the time most of you will read this, I'll have taken the BOARDS. I feel like I don't know squat.
congrats wntrmute2! Wish you the best in your new profession and all of you hopefuls who want to go to anesthesia school. I find this very interesting. I am a new member and I happened to land in this website for some reason.
I graduated from DePaul Medical Center Nurse Anesthesia School and Old Dominion University in Norfolk, VA back in Dec 94. I worked in Richmond and maintained two apartments (one in Richmond and one in Virginia Beach where my family lived). I took my boards (paper and pencil then) there in June 1995 but did not pass it. I got so depressed about it and never took it again.
Then I went back home to Virginia Beach, VA to return critical care nursing (cardiac) and truly loved it this time. I became so content with it that I truly believed this would be my retirement job. But then something new happened again. I came up with torn meniscus(cartilage) on my right knee and DJD (osteoarthritis) of my articular cartilage in 2003.
This is probably from playing tennis in the past and lifting/turning heavy patients and moving beds/equipment. I am on short-term disability right now and contemplating about going back to nurse anesthesia as suggested by good friends who are physicians and my current orthopedic surgeon.
Can someone tell me the phone number or website of R and R Anesthesia Boards? I already have the info on Valley Anesthesia. Thanks a lot!
YEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAA!
I bet you are on cloud 9!! I am really happy for you. It is so cool. When I first came to this board I was just toying with the thought of applying to CRNA school. Alot of you had just applied and it is so cool to be here for the whole process. Best wishes on you future career. You have giving so much to this board. You were always around even during school giving support, sound advice and encouragement to the rest of us. You are the epitome of GOOD KARMA! Now you reap the rewards of your hard work. Congratulations!!!!
