1. I Need Money For Crna School!!! Heeellllppp

   Dani989 replied to hojimma's topic in CRNA

   talk to the financial aid person at you school. They will tell you how much you can get usually around 18500 from the government. Since that usually only covers tuition you can apply for grad plus loans. When I started school I looked for scholarship...

2. Anesthetist programs that DON'T require ICU experience

   Dani989 replied to EnergizerNurse's topic in SRNA

   The way I see it (as a student CRNA) If you don't like taking care of intubated and sedated, unstable ICU patients you won't like being a CRNA.

3. LPN - good place to start??

   Dani989 replied to Lauren12's topic in General Nursing

   I think you should first look into LPN jobs in your area , I know some places are getting away from hiring LPNs.

4. Propofol question

   Dani989 replied to ParrotHeadRN's topic in CRNA

   We were infromed at work that part of the MN nurse practice act states a RN can only use propofol on intubated pts. (same goes for Ketamine).

5. Teen dies from Med Error in Labor

   Dani989 replied to htrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

   It bothers me that RNs pass the responsibility onto the CRNA or MD. They can make a mistake just as easily. We should instead be looking at ways to improve our own practice.

6. crna school

   Dani989 replied to joenl's topic in SRNA

   There is no easier CRNA school to get into. I know many people who have reataken undergrad college classes to get their GPA up.

7. How many schools did you apply to?

   Dani989 replied to malenurse2001's topic in CRNA

   I applied to 5 , interviewed at 4 and got accepted at 2. The problem with applying to lot of schools is recommendations. I didn't feel like I could ask my professors and Docs to fill out more than 5 evals. All of the schools I applied to have differe...

8. SRNA clinical tactics

   Dani989 replied to susswood's topic in CRNA

   If you spend a lot of time with the OR crew and know them fairly well, than it's no different than bringing treats to work. If is was the SRNA's first day, and he didn't know anyone , then it's a total suckup move.

9. twu clinical sites???

   Dani989 replied to mumbatex's topic in SRNA

   I was just accepted to TW and feel I will more than likely have my clinical site in CA. I've heard that the Ca site is very intense with TONS of call hours. Has anyone else heard this? Oh and I look forward to meeting everyone in the fall :)

10. what are my chances for getting accepted to crna school?

    Dani989 replied to crna to be?'s topic in SRNA

    I would really look into all the programs out there and find one that weight clinical experience more than GPA. Of the 4 schools I interviewed everyone made a comment about my GPA, especially science classes. Take that chem class and get an A!

11. Why Mayo CRNA program is not top rated?

    Dani989 replied to WestCoastRN's topic in SRNA

    Every program offers something different, I guess that pretty much sums up the whole conversation. Mayo is a wonderful place to work and there are many opportunities there that can’t be found anyplace else. With 200 + OR’s there are many interesting ...

12. Why Mayo CRNA program is not top rated?

    Dani989 replied to WestCoastRN's topic in SRNA

    To set the record straight on the lines and regional blocks at Mayo; CRNA's are not allowed to do epidurals. However, I don't think you would find an institution that has more interesting cases. CRNA's do heart, liver transplants on a regular basis. ...

13. Why Mayo CRNA program is not top rated?

    Dani989 replied to WestCoastRN's topic in SRNA

    As a Mayo Clinic ICU RN I can tell you that the Mayo CRNA program is a very tricky school to get into. Basically you have to come from inside the organization and get the right recommendation from the right doctor in order to get in. The admission co...
