    MmacFN replied to PTU2SLP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey N/P I jumped the gun too! The issue of people younger than you giving you orders is something ive been getting used to since the day i became an RN and it seems to get worse every year (enter the...

    MmacFN replied to MmacFN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  8. Why is Physics a prereq course?

    MmacFN replied to gongju's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    well said roosevelt. While i do believe the classes may help I am not sure just how much that may change how "desireable" a canidate is. The schools i have talked to seemed much more interested in...

  9. HELP, New CRNA prac getting screwed by the man.

    MmacFN replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yoga This is exactly the reason we need people like you and Deepz. Negotiation from the CRNA perspective and what the "rules of engagement" are is well out of the typical RN experience. Thank

  10. Why is Physics a prereq course?

    MmacFN replied to gongju's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey Yoga I totally see your point an you are right. I was only focusing on the GPA portion as ive seen some people fail these classes. Once you get that F or D it dosent go away. I do agree with you....

  11. HELP, New CRNA prac getting screwed by the man.

    MmacFN replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Im not a CRNA but here goes. Without a contract to abide by (that was a bit of a mistake but hindsight is 20/20), your at the mercy of the hospital. Your only option now is to group togeather and...

    MmacFN replied to rozey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey If your jus looking to do your MSN core classes (so not NP ior CRNA) you can take two online classes per semester without difficulty working full time. The danger is how self motivated you are....

  14. Why is Physics a prereq course?

    MmacFN replied to gongju's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Clearly physics isnt very important as a pre req as its not a pre req in over 3/4 of the programs. That should tell you just how little you need to know. I have seen the physics taught in the CRNA...

  15. Can't decide...ACNP before CRNA??

    MmacFN replied to roosevelt127's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    MmacFN replied to joey442000's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey RN I do think your right. I have a friend in the OR and when she asks me for stories about patients im flying she thinks its crazy. Never had to take care of an invasive lines or IABP/VADs etc....

    MmacFN replied to WakingLife's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    MmacFN replied to roosevelt127's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey Good for you and good point. Im not saying it dosent look good, i just think that grad classes (which are a whole other level of class) will look better. None of the schools i talked to cared...

  21. CRNA or Medical School

    MmacFN replied to jkw_83RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Here is the thing. I think anyone who is an A type personality in nursing considers medical school at some point in time or another. Your age (i think it was 22) is no barrier. I have friends who went...

    MmacFN replied to PTU2SLP's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    MmacFN replied to joey442000's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ohh Sorry! I dont know anyone who transitioned into the ER from graduation. The OR is unlike every other part of nursing and (at least where i work) requires you to have experience and take a special...
