   endorphinrush replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in SRNA

   :) I will be sure to tell him he was dead wrong. He is our director as well as my instructor for professional aspects. He presented the info and stated he felt it was a terrible idea. Is it written in stone? Of course not. Anything can happen b/w now...

2. Doctorate for Entry into Nurse Anesthesia by 2025

   endorphinrush replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in SRNA

   Funny this should get brought up. I am studying for my first "Professional Aspects" test now. Gotta love all those dates, as if I dont have enough else to study already. DNP's for CRNA's according to my lecture notes will be in place by 2015 as manda...

3. CRNA Questions

   endorphinrush replied to gapeach427's topic in SRNA

   UAB takes either or and Erlanger in Chattanooga takes just the MAT. I took the MAT. My mind was just geared towards the way it was testing and I knew I could do well on it. I did, I'm in I recommend the MAT. Downside is, many places DO want a GRE sc...

4. Samford Info

   endorphinrush replied to TTUnurse's topic in SRNA

   A buddy of mine just started Samford this past June. First semester under his belt, he is very much enjoying being at Samford. When he interviewed, it was with four different individuals. He met each one seperately in their offices and they did ask h...

7. CRNA/SRNA Studying Techniques?

   endorphinrush replied to x_coastie's topic in SRNA

   What he said. Thats pretty much how I have studied for the last 100 years and it works well for me. The knowledge stays with you forever like that. Strangely enough by the end of a semester, I could hand someone my notebooks and read off an entire 5...

8. Expelled from Anesthesia School for Adultery?

   endorphinrush replied to RaySRNA's topic in CRNA

   endorphinrush replied to jrec's topic in SRNA

   Yea, I am. I have two, but they are older. My son is 16 and my daugher will be 14 when I start. I'm very involved with both of my kids and what they do. However, come Aug 22, I will be MIA for 27 months at the UAB program. I graduate Dec 09 and my so...

10. Future CRNA income

    endorphinrush replied to alumno's topic in SRNA

    That is true but you are talking local. On a national level the shortage will be felt. Here at home, we have 2 schools. The market is inundated with anesthetist and salaries have declined slightly b/c of it. But nationally, the shortage still exists ...

11. Acceptance from alternate list.

    endorphinrush replied to chords1's topic in SRNA

    Dont know what to tell you bro. That sucks. I wish you guys the best in the future though. I know several spectacular nurses that had to go back repeatedly before they were accepted. One went back 5x's before they took her. Be tenacious. and when she...

14. Online BSN

    endorphinrush replied to paratoCRNA2b's topic in SRNA

    Getting an RN degree entirely online would be.......not smart :) You would not be remotely prepared. As for the online degree from ADN to BSN....go talk to the director of the program you are interested in. Ask them what they think of it. Part of min...
