   xaxxax replied to ChooSoul's topic in SRNA

   I had all Cs in my science classes from like 10 years ago. Did ok when I went back for my BSN. I graduated with a 3.5 gpa but my overall gpa was closer to a 3.2 or so because of the Cs. I'm starting a DNAP program next summer. My gpa wasn't great but...

   Thank you both. I will definitely look into graduate level science courses. I have been looking into UNE's online science prereq courses, specifically biochemistry because I find it so interesting.

4. Looking for advice

   xaxxax posted a topic in SRNA

   Hello all, crna hopeful here. I failed to gain admission to anesthesia school this past cycle and I am looking for ways to improve my application for the coming cycle. I know anesthesia is for me. There is nothing else I can see myself doing. I've re...

5. lactic acidosis in status asthma

   xaxxax replied to zzyzx's topic in Critical

   Metabolic acidosis can be caused by some of the drugs given for asthma. Albuterol is a one. Especially when combined with steroids. Something to do with a hyperadrenergic state and pyruvate production.

7. Which program did you attend and why?

   xaxxax replied to xaxxax's topic in SRNA

   Are there CRNA only practices in urban areas? Seems like MDAs have a corner on the market in major cities.

8. I'm 16 with a GED

   xaxxax replied to greateggs's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I don't know where you are located but in my state CNAs must be at least 18. I agree with what everyone else has said, enroll in a community college and knock out as many prereqs as possible. At least get some good basic classes under you belt ...

11. Which program did you attend and why?

    xaxxax replied to xaxxax's topic in SRNA

    Thank you! That's great advice. As far as anesthesia models go, are there CRNA only clinicals in all states? Or should I look for schools in opt out states? I'm a little fuzzy on the whole "opt-out" concept.

12. Which program did you attend and why?

    xaxxax posted a topic in SRNA

    I am in the process of researching schools. It's one thing to look up a school on a website to see what they have to offer but I'd love to hear from actual students on what your program is like and why you chose it/if you are happy with it. Especiall...

14. Balloon pumps and swans on a stepdown??

    xaxxax replied to boston.nurse's topic in General Nursing
