  1. Here's an idea, if you want to be an AA then go to allAA's.com (if there's not one then start one up) and talk about it. This conversation is old, it's like the AA's come here because they don't have their own site and stir the pot and CRNA's and hop...
  2. The main difference I have seen is that an AA is an assistant, they can assist MD's and even do procedures if there is a doctor in the house to fall back on. In some hospitals this is how it is with CRNA's, they assist the MD's, watch easy cases for ...
  3. Should I Move in With Parents???

    Well see how a little more info clears things up :chuckle In your case your property value in a top 5 market is probably secure, but I would be DAMN sure I knew who was renting my house, a credit check and PERSONALLY reviewing their previous 3 housi...
  4. Should I Move in With Parents???

    Just my 2¢ but if your house has appreciated 30% since you bought it I would sell the crap out of it and let it pay your way through school and not have the headache of renters. You have no way of knowing what they will do to your house and your payi...
  5. Non-Anesthetists Using The Title CRNA

    As a CRNA hopefull I understand where you are coming from. The day I pass my boards I will have earned and be proud of that title. Maybe all of us hopefulls should have some shirts made. Students are SRNA's, practitioners are CRNA's, maybe we can be ...
  6. CRNA Health Problems

    I know a couple of schools make you sign waivers that you inderstand exposure to the gasses can cause fertility problems but that's the only thing I've ever heard. All of the practitioners I've ever met were in good health and had families so your gu...
  7. Sponsorship in TX or LA for CRNA School

    Hey, I live in austin! Got any details on that stipend program?
  8. New edition of Miller bashes CRNAs

    It is also interesting to note that this does not specify death or morbidity that is anesthesia related. Since many CRNA only hospitals are in rural areas with less technology and resources, it would be interesting to look at overall patient outcomes...
  9. Grades, Gre Scores, Experience, etc...

    Wow, this is your first post? You sure you're in the right forum?:stone Ever consider that people WANT to be nurses? BTW I WANT to be a CRNA, my GPA is 3.8 overall and 4.0 sciences and I considered med school but I like nursing and I think being a C...
  10. Med Surg & ICU before applying

    By the time you would have 1 year med/surg. and 1 year ICU you could have 2 years ICU and CCRN and all of the certs you need to be a top applicant. Even more, that extra year with vents, balloons, drips etc. will make you that much more confident dur...
  11. Insurance and Independence

    #1 CRNA's can function independently in all states, supervision seems to vary by job more than by state. #2 even working Locum Tenens most groups will cover your malpractice cost. Go to www.gaswork.com and look at the some of the oportunities out the...
  12. What stats did you need for TCU?

    so far I have a 3.55 overall and a 4.0 in all nursing pre-reqs and nursing courses. I have yet to take the GRE.
  13. What stats did you need for TCU?

    I am going to be applying to the TCU CRNA program next year and was wondering what kind of numbers you guys needed to get interviewed? I've looked around and it seems everyone says you need "solid" numbers or you need to "rock" the GRE but I haven't ...
  14. Physical Requirements of CRNA

    I hurt my back recently at work and I heard the same line of crap! "Oh, you better find another carreer, you'll never make it as a nurse with a bad back." That is just a bunch of crap!! I did my PT and use proper technique and haven't had another pro...
  15. Medical school?

    Does everybody have to procreate? Take the road less traveled. More people need to escape that mindset. Jim CRNA Amen Dita! However, I believe we need to keep practicing often to keep our skills sharp, just in case!:rotfl:
