  7. CRNA Satisfaction for Creative Adrenaline-Junkies?

    foraneman replied to lizzzzzzz's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  8. Never heard this before

    foraneman replied to bethannie's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have never heard the term "MDA" used in anything even remotely approaching a derogatory or disrespectful connotation in 25+ years. It is simply a shortcut for saying anesthesiologist, and frankly it...

  13. Not Including all Transcripts on CRNA Application

    foraneman replied to AngelPower's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Agreeing with everyone else. You never know how this might come back to bite you. I assume these classes would have been possible credit towards your BS? And that the school which granted you your...

  14. Did you like critical care?

    foraneman replied to ImThatGuy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    While I did not want to make a career out of the ICU, I did enjoy it...but ONLY when I had the sickest patients. But if you are not keen on doing ICU for a year I don't think anesthesia is for you....

  20. Anyone find CRNA School EASIER than made out to be?

    foraneman replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I graduated in 1989. I found anesthesia school rather enjoyable and easier than many relate. I was also in a program that was very collegial, had no residents, provided large volumes of all clinical...

  21. CRNA/only require RN/any Bachelor's degree

    foraneman replied to calsab's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
