    Interesting Post....I just separated from the Air Force, (had to go the civilian anesthesia route b/c of my spouse's military career) but had heard the same thing about "if you are breathing....". CRNA's were used extensively in all the bases I have...
  3. What's going to keep you motivated????

    My motivation is summed up with one phrase that I will NEVER have to see or hear again...... "GOLYTELY TILL CLEAR." nuff said. :chuckle :chuckle
  4. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    "Jailhouse RN" That is like saying...I want only a nurse with a BSN, CCRN to take care of me. Please, that's ridiculous. Why dont you just ask, is my provider competent and compassionate?
  5. P**sed off at preceptor's games

    Aaaah, memories. My preceptor used to have me run and get his lazy a** soda pops and snacks. I hated my orientation, but stuck it out. I was young and naive, but Im glad I stuck it out so I got the position I wanted. But on the other hand, when I thi...
  6. Do any RN's out there think that I should as a student

    I had no experience, did fine in nursing school, learned everything I needed to know on-the-job. Few people in my class had previous "tech" experience, but they did not have an advantage academically. I would spend time with my family, enjoy your sum...

  10. ICU nurse managers lack of support.......

    bob, I am only per diem. I think ANY NM discouraging any of her nurses in pursuing higher education is unprofessional. I have NEVER met anyone who was discouraging, I think that is why I was shocked at her statement. I need to work until I start scho...
  11. ICU nurse managers lack of support.......

    I am starting CRNA school in 4 months. So, in the meantime I am working as an ICU nurse. I just started at a new hospital until school starts. I did not want to tell my nurse manager that I was in a CRNA program until I "felt" her out. When she asked...
  12. Military CRNA Programs

    Hi, I just separated as a active duty air force nurse 2 months ago. I was going to do the military CRNA route but it conflicted with my husbands career, so im going civilian. From my 4 years in, I gathered that they REALLY need CRNA's. They were not ...
  13. BSN's deliver safer care than ADN's??

    If you ADN nurses are so proud of your title, why did you half *** it with a 2 year diploma and settle for less? Sorry, call it like I see it, why butter it up? Nursing is a PROFESSION and deserves to be recognized with a degree.
  14. few ??'s for CRNA's

    yoga crna, out of all the posts in this forum, you are the first one I have read to point out the "boring" part of being an anesthetist. Point well made, something to think about, surgeries can last what seems like forever at times, just standing th...
  15. Should I retake SCIENCES??

    Thanks everyone....im easily convinced not to retake anything. I guess they just want to make sure that you are "capable" of dong well in science courses, not that you remember everything from 8 years ago. Im trying HARD to enjoy my free time, cause...
