1. Should I Worry About Future of CRNAs?

   CAV13 replied to guest_57352's topic in CRNA

   I have two family members, one an MDA one a CRNA, who are currently practicing. The MDA is very cautionary/pessimistic about the future of MDAs as clinicians. They think that they're turning more and more into a supervisory/administrative position (...

2. Anyone got accepted into NA school after one year of critical-care experience?

   CAV13 replied to genmac's topic in SRNA

   I was accepted to the Columbia program, BSN/MS, which only has 1 year built in for critical care experience - so yes people can get into nurse anesthesia programs with only 1 year of ICU experience (pending-experience). Obviously, the more time you ...
