1. CRNA looking for conference

   2814 replied to 2814's topic in CNM

   Sorry. Let me clarify. I work OB and am very competent with epidurals, spinals, etc. But it is very interesting to learn the OB side of it. I do not want to just accept the patient for a C section, but want to understand the genetic, disease, and...

2. Canned from the pill mill...I mean, pain clinic. Starting my own clinic, need advice!

   2814 replied to mountainaireNP's topic in Advanced

   Everyone here is right. Make a plan. I seem to remember that Medicare will pay retro-active, but it took almost 6 months to get my number. Once I received that I could then apply to Medicaid and private insurances. Remember that there is a lot of ...

   2814 posted a topic in CNM

   Just trying to get some inside info. I am a CRNA that would like to get more education in what I am doing while doing OB GYN shifts. Is there a conference that is renown for being full of education in this field.

7. First couple months

   2814 replied to vitkev13's topic in SRNA

   First you have to realize it is not going to be fun. Everyone will say "it's the hardest thing you will ever do", well they are right. I tried to understand this before starting but until you have gone through it, there is no way to comprehend the ...

8. Any good source to master EKG and Hemodynamics for CRNA please?

   2814 replied to junglern's topic in SRNA

   You only need two resources in my opinion. Hemodynamics - pacep.org (very well laid out, free if you do not want the contact hours). EKG's - the only book I have ever found that made it simple, indepth, and fun because you really learn and understa...

9. TCU Fall '09

   2814 replied to gasmaster's topic in SRNA

   Parking is only 2 blocks from the classroom, its a general lot, but does not even fill 1/2 up. Tons of parking, and a shuttle takes you to the building that runs ever 10 min's or so. Parking is a non-issue. There are a ton of living opportunities. ...

10. I'M IN!!!! Now what?

    2814 replied to joey442000's topic in SRNA

    I would look up the first semester schedule, and determine if you are weak in any area right off the bat. It seems the first semester transition back to "school" is the hardest, the second and following will hopefully just flow and be the same. If ...

11. Do CCRN scores matter?

    2814 replied to lovegasRN's topic in SRNA

    Of course they matter. If I take a test then I perform to the best of my ability, only taking it to pass is selling yourself short. Some CRNA programs do look at your CCRN score. I know one program does not ask you any clinical questions if you s...

13. Flight Nurse experience adequate ?

    2814 replied to 2814's topic in CRNA

    I should have clarified my post. I did have 6 years of surgical ICU experience prior to being a flight nurse, and I work in a busy ER part time on the side. My post was because most schools stressed the "recent" part. Mike, your right about the ski...

14. Flight Nurse experience adequate ?

    2814 posted a topic in CRNA

    I am getting my paperwork together to apply to CRNA school later this year, while trying to decide "where" to apply I am a little confused over requirements. All the schools require a minimum of 1 year ICU experience, some seem very strict on this, ...
