  1. Question about AA's

    Pete495 replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Have to agree with ya there. haven't seen much on this board in quite a while. I know as I a student, I've been quite busy, and haven't had as much of a chance to post

  2. managers letter of rec

    Pete495 replied to MelRN80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you are nervous about what she will write, just have her return the recommendation back to you, so you can read what she wrote. For some of my recs. when I applied, there was a question asking if...

  3. Need input on all three Southwestern PA programs

    Pete495 replied to DebbieSue's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Anesthesia school is anesthesia school in my opinion, especially when you are not willing to relocate. Most programs, at least the ones in PA will teach you what you need to know, and give you the...

  4. Westmoreland-Latrobe/LaRoche College

    Pete495 replied to D&D'sMommy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    On the aana site, I noticed it was called Excela Health Anesthesia School. It sounds as if that is the name of the health system now, and they are probably still affilliated with LaRoche is my guess....

  6. Balancing family and school

    Pete495 replied to DebbieSue's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  7. Education Advice Needed...way Pre-CRNA...

    Pete495 replied to KVYEng's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I disagree. About 50% or more of the people I worked with only had their ADN, and if ICU managers only relied upon BSN nurses to staff ICU's, there would not be any ICU's. It is no more beneficial...

  8. Education Advice Needed...way Pre-CRNA...

    Pete495 replied to KVYEng's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ADN will probably suffice for the nursing, but you will need to check with the specific schools you are looking at. Also, I wouldn't go right away and repeat your bio and chem. courses. why do more...

  9. hot topics in anesthesia

    Pete495 replied to changed1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Pete495 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  15. Naming Organic Compounds

    Pete495 replied to Pete495's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am surprised at you guys. The structure listed was Isoflurane, although it is very difficult, I admit to dicipher the difference b/w enflurance, isoflurane, and desflurane. It is nearly...

    Pete495 replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    there is a 23 and a 25 year old in my class. but probably 90% of the class is 26 or above. Don't worry about the age though. I applied when I was 24, and was accepted. I had the experience and all...

  17. Anesthesia and Me

    Pete495 replied to meandragonbrett's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  19. GRNA with time running out

    Pete495 replied to TravisMcgee's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey Sprout, I know you'd rather not think about it, but was it easier or harder than you could have imagined? Was it like the NCLEX in that you didn't have a clue how you did when you came out? Did...

  20. not a dumby

    Pete495 replied to easton17's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  22. Boards

    Pete495 replied to charles-thor's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Don't study the Night before the Exam. I would do practice questions if I was you, especially ones which make you critically think. Because if you do not know the answer to a question, the practice...

  23. Lap Chole and Narcotics

    Pete495 replied to bwt02's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Pete495 replied to Pete495's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
