3. Precordial stethoscope?

   AdonaiLoveable replied to Savin'Em's topic in CRNA

   Though I find it generally somewhat distracting to wear my precordial for entire cases (balancing all the OR chat, monitors beeps and buzzes, and the sounds of the patients heart and lungs can be a lot), I find it really helpful to use it at least i...

4. I need some advise on ICU jobs

   AdonaiLoveable replied to murse04's topic in SRNA

6. Clinical sites in CRNA school

   AdonaiLoveable replied to LetsChill's topic in CRNA

   I also have a family and didn't think it would be very easy to attend clinicals all over the state. So I applied to programs that had all their clinical sites within reasonable commuting distance from the school. Examples, Wake Forest, Virginia Commo...

7. I need some advise on ICU jobs

   AdonaiLoveable replied to murse04's topic in SRNA

   I don't think you would be at any significant disadvantage by taking the job closer to home. SICU is great experience for anesthesia school and I think you'll develop relationships within your first year there that will serve as the source for your r...

    Also take a look at these: Florida International, Barry Univ., Wolford, Raleigh, Univ of Maryland, Middle TN School of NA, UT Chattanooga... I'm not sure that all of these schools have clinicals in one local area, but I seem to remember that they wer...

11. CNRA programs and long-distance clinicals??

    AdonaiLoveable replied to hallcrest's topic in SRNA

    I am a current SRNA and I have two young children. When considering Nurse Anesthesia programs, I only considered programs that had all their clinical sites within commuting distance of the campus so that I knew I'd be coming home each night (no out-o...

    AdonaiLoveable replied to CandyGyrl's topic in CRNA

    I am an SRNA and African American. I do not believe that my race or gender had any impact on the admissions process or how I am treated in the clinical setting. I feel like I'm treated fairly, like anyone else in my program, in those settings -- howe...
