1. Oklahoma CRNA Program?

   TexasCRNA replied to OKIE-DOKIE's topic in CRNA

   Granted, CAREFUL growth is needed to a degree but what do you define as growth? A few schools added on every couple of years or saturating the market as NP schools have done? I still say a tight control is better, to allow for more quality vs the nu...

2. Oklahoma CRNA Program?

   TexasCRNA replied to OKIE-DOKIE's topic in CRNA

   Not to rain on the parade, but I personally don't want a crna school popping up everywhere ( like NP programs)and I am glad the AANA board keeps a tight rein on how many schools there are at present. This also makes the competition tough to get in ( ...

8. CT Schools

   TexasCRNA replied to CougRN's topic in CRNA

   Well, CT. is a small state with small programs not like the mega schools of TX or FL. I can't speak for the reputation of other two schools but at Bridgeport when you get done you know how to give anesthesia because they work your ass off in the prog...

9. Best ICU experience for CRNA school?

   TexasCRNA replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in CRNA
