  2. Any Navy CRNA's out there?

    Just a CRNA replied to nilepoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not wanting to cast aspersions, but the USN&WR ranking is not based on any form of objective data. The ratings are based on surveys sent to program directors, not unlike the coaches' polls in...

  3. Army/navy Reserve

    Just a CRNA replied to prettyprettyRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you are considering joining the military solely for financial reasons, please don't. Over a long career, I've seen quite a few very miserable individuals who followed that pathway. Our local Army...

    Just a CRNA replied to cube's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Surely you meant "More difficult things in Nursing."

  10. Location vs. Program Ranking

    Just a CRNA replied to 2bcrna4heisman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    at the risk of being repetitive, program rankings mean very little. here is a copy of a popular program ranking survey compared against coa accreditation time frames. since the coa actually visits...

  11. The Future: You Must have a Masters to Apply to a Nurse Anesthesia Program??!!

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

    There may be more misinformation in this thread than any other I've read in this forum. First of all, there is a huge difference between a clinical doctorate (such as a DNP) and a research doctorate...

  12. TCU vs. TWU

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

    TCU's Class of 2007 had a 100% first time pass rate on boards. Second year in a

  13. Am I the only one??

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

  14. I'm in... with one year experience

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

    You are quoting from an anesthesia student handbook. The statement suggests that merely striving for minimum clinical standards as an anesthesia student breaks with the tradition of nurse anesthesia....

  17. I'm in... with one year experience

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

    The AANA doesn't require any ICU experience, they require one year of critical care experience. Critical thinking is the desired end state, and that can be achieved in areas other than ICU....

  18. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

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

    Echo that. The common thread amongst students who fail to succeed in anesthesia school, whether it be didactics or clinical, is that they tried to work AND be a student. If anesthesia is your chosen...

  19. Anesthesia Program Rankings 2008

    Just a CRNA replied to ICURN2CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    a survey sent to program directors and deans of those programs leaves a lot of room for subjectivity. since this data was computed in january 2007 gathered from a survey sent in the fall of 2006, it...

  20. Is this enough to get in???

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

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

    US News rankings are notorious for being a popularity contest; the objective data is mixed in with subjective opinion. Once again, consider attrition rate, the number of years awarded by the most...

  22. I've FINALLY decided what to do and I'm EXCITED!!!

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

    Yes, you can, as long as your degree is complete prior to the beginning of the anesthesia program.

  23. Maintaining certifications

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

    It is entirely possible that your academic load while in didactics will qualify as CEs toward these recertifications.

  24. TCU or U Penn?

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

    Ah, but you spent your fifth post on this board making the above comment. Please enlighten us. Do you dispute the number of clinical sites? The locations? TCU's name recognition in those areas?...

  25. TCU or U Penn?

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

    On that we agree. In this case, with clinical affiliations in California, Florida, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and multiple Texas locations, the one making the decision on who gets hired more likely has a...
