   KannRN replied to Brian_SRNA's topic in CRNA

   No problem here paindoc. Your attitutide speaks volumes and your persistant evasiveness suggests the possiblity that you lack credentials, and that you just might be well versed on different aspects of the health care field. Anyone determined enoug...

   KannRN replied to Brian_SRNA's topic in CRNA

   yes, yes, yes, paindoc. Nurse anesthesia is an excellent profession as the practice of Medicine is. There is actually nothing wrong with comparing any profession side by side as it would show one the similarities and differences and perhaps provide...

   I've been following this thread for as long as it has been going. Please, Paindoc, tell us more about yourself, your professional background, education and what exactly is your title? Your responses have certainly raised a lot of hair around here a...

   Wow! only administer drugs? not enough training because they only pass gas? and this leads to inadequate competence therefore they are not classified as APN's? PLEASE share with me what state this is! Thanks!!

5. Need some guidance

   KannRN replied to JennyMacRN2B's topic in SRNA

   You didnt mention how long you have been a nurse? And, didnt you need your managers letter of reference for a CRNA program? You are also admitting that you meet the requirements in a minimal way, so this is what I would do: Certainly go to the int...

6. How long is was CRNA school for you?

   KannRN replied to kcmo06's topic in CRNA

   I dont know about schools in the columbus, GA area but you will need to become an RN and have at least the usual one year of critical care experience. There are some programs that might take your current education and fast track you into a program, ...

   WOW! Good luck to you too! A 2, 4, and 9 year old---I admire your determination! Mine will be 12, 14, and at last, 18...and I am pre-planning for them and my departure to school. The 18 year old will have graduated when I plan to start, so I'm ho...

8. CRNA school with children

   KannRN replied to crnastudent1's topic in SRNA

   So you are saying that after women establish a career, they should then work "part time"? What would you say to women who have established their career, whether that be before, during (gasp!) or after kids who choose to work full time?? Does this m...

9. Why Am I Putting Myself Through This????

   KannRN replied to dfk's topic in SRNA

   You are doing this because you have worked hard and managed yourself to get you to the point where you are looking for a place to live since you are starting school in a few weeks. Opinions will be plentiful and there will probably be many things y...

10. MUSC vs. VCU

    KannRN replied to xyhartnurs's topic in SRNA

    Funny, I used to live in NC, just a little north of Charlotte, and relocated to the Richmond area, and later discovered MCV. Their anesthesia program is appealing to me because of geography, and I do have children, so although there are many programs...

11. MUSC vs. VCU

    KannRN replied to xyhartnurs's topic in SRNA

    87-90? I'll bet there are still a few people there that you would know! I noticed your profile states you are in NC now. Did you go there right after graduation or did you work in Richmond first for a while? And, how was your experience with the ...

12. MUSC vs. VCU

    KannRN replied to xyhartnurs's topic in SRNA

    Are you ready to apply to VCU ? And if so, do you meet their strict and competitive admission criteria? If you do, then you may want to consider applying to VCU and see what happens. If you get in, you could always relocate to SC once the "work" of...

14. New grad in the ER, is CRNA school out of the question?

    KannRN replied to extowboater's topic in SRNA

    Well, the school that I am preparing to apply to states its requirements (minimally) as "1 year of recent acute care experience". As an insider within the facility, I know that what they mean is "1 year of ICU experience". "Acute" care could read a...
