    gasmn2b replied to bman's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey Cowboy, get your facts straight about a program first. TCU offers the same type of masters degree (MSNA). It is seperate from the Harris School of Nursing at TCU. If anyone has questions about...

    gasmn2b replied to kukukajoo's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    gasmn2b replied to kukukajoo's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  4. acceptance stigma?

    gasmn2b replied to piper_for_hire's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think a lot of the attitude that you receive or perceive is based upon what you bring upon yourself. Are you a new grad with the attitude of 1 year and I'm outta here or have you put in the time and...

  5. Does trauma level matter?

    gasmn2b replied to criticalstanley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  6. students, is our future in jeopardy?

    gasmn2b replied to dfk's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If anyone takes the time to look at the thread on SDN they will realize that the majority of their posters are more worried about length of certain body parts and other mindless drivel. This just goes...

  7. On ethics and consideration

    gasmn2b replied to Just a CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  9. Stipends and how they work

    gasmn2b replied to RNbama's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I made visits to all of the local facilities and groups and asked to speak with an administrator. I was unsuccessful in my attempts, but It never hurts to try. I did however have an easy-out with the...

  10. reference letters

    gasmn2b replied to Renee_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Be sure that the schools to which you apply do not have certain rules that apply to getting rec letters. Some say it has to be sealed and signed on institutional letterhead and envelope with the...

  12. Swan Lines

    gasmn2b replied to 2ndChance's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't think he was attempting to rag on me. I just found it amusing that he felt he could not function without all the invasive technologies available with critically ill patients. According to his...

  13. what skills are you working on?

    gasmn2b replied to BeatOU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey rayman that is a really cool way to slide on into school for August. If that is what I understand your plans are. I'd suck up as much useless info I could form those guys. Hope you have someone...

  14. Swan Lines

    gasmn2b replied to 2ndChance's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Swans are not used that much any more. Yes Cvt Surgery but it is been proven that many other uses for swans do not actually improve Mortalities in patients that they are placed in. I personally have...

  15. Textbooks I highly recommend

    gasmn2b replied to soliant12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have to agree as well both programs do seem very solid. I was just interested in what Futrgaspsr meant in the earlier statement. I was not sure as to what was

  16. Textbooks I highly recommend

    gasmn2b replied to soliant12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  18. dreading the personal statement

    gasmn2b replied to piper_for_hire's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Some ask specific questions that they want answered about yourself. I found it easiest to just answer the questions that were asked in a nice essay form that followed the questions in order. It makes...

  19. TCU and the GRE??

    gasmn2b replied to cutiejen2's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don't sweat the GRE score. I got an interview and accepted with a 1070 on my GRE. Did the same as others and did not study much for it (taking classes for BSN at the same time), and probably could...

    gasmn2b replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    gasmn2b replied to Sheri257's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have to agree with MmacFN on this one. I'm about to start and already am planning for that 28 month money crunch, but this is what I really want to do. My wife and family supports my decision and we...

    gasmn2b replied to cardiac.cure03's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Great points. I was hired 8 years ago straight out of ADN program into MICU at a 600+ bed facility. I have been there since and will be starting CRNA school in August, but I must say that it was only...

    gasmn2b replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
