  1. In retrospect what would you do differently prior starting CRNA school

    Outdoor1 replied to scorpiontail's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am all done with CRNA school so since I have been there I will answer. ENJOY EVERY MINUTE YOU HAVE ONCE YOU GET ACCEPTED!!!! DON'T STUDY OR EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. SPEND TIME WITH FRIENDS, FAMILY,...

  2. CRNA Questions...

    Outdoor1 replied to GorillaRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Every OR observation experience I ever did i thought was boring as well. Yes, there are times when you will be bored, but not often. I did consider nurse practitioner. WIth the hours that most...

  3. CRNA advancement.

    Outdoor1 replied to vn1234's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    1. Yes there are tons of volunteer opportunities 2. Yes you can work independently in all 50 states. The only thing that limits your opportunity is the facility you are in. 3. The only way it...

  4. Parents won't support my decision

    Outdoor1 replied to vn1234's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am not Indian, but have worked with some and understand how your culture is affecting this decision. They probably just don't realize what we do as CRNA's. I know in your culture if you aren't a...

  5. Minority Nurse applying to CRNA school

    Outdoor1 replied to bucknangler's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is possibly the worst advice that I have ever heard given. First of all as a previous poster mentioned no one cares at all what race you are when you are delivering their anesthesia. I'd be...

  6. TWU v. TCU

    Outdoor1 replied to tnyc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As a graduate of TCU this is what I experienced as a student there...Personal care and concern. I can't tell you how many students from Texas Wesleyan said to me personally that they were...

  7. TCU vs. TWU

    Outdoor1 replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    MJ is not such a huge loss....from someone who actually knows what goes on in that office. THe other person in there is MJ on steriods when it comes to running that place. I am sure it will take a...

  8. College Freshman in Need of Advice

    Outdoor1 replied to Bucky9's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just get into the nursing program and graduate. If you take any extra classes take extra bio, or chem. Focus on the schools that you'd like to get into and see what they require that you don't have....

  9. TCU Interviewees!!!!!!

    Outdoor1 replied to mmbmoc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When you see both campuses, meet the staff, go through the interview processes you will not have any problem making a decision. At least I didn't. TCU is hands down a better campus, resources, etc....

  10. LPN ICU experience

    Outdoor1 replied to srleslie's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would tend to agree with the others that it would not count if you aren't fully functioning in ICU. Where I was our LVN's did everything. Best of luck

  11. LPN ICU experience

    Outdoor1 replied to srleslie's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It should count. Most places no longer allow LVN's to practice in critical care settings, but when I was an ICU RN there were a few LVN's grandfathered in who knew their stuff. Just remember all of...

  12. preparing for that first job....

    Outdoor1 replied to ECU_CRNA2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Doing a bunch of interviewing next week. Any tips

  13. Need help on where to apply

    Outdoor1 replied to wanttobeacrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Excellent post Piper...I couldn't agree more. Good luck to the original poster.

  14. TEXAS CRNA's Call to action. Stop the potential AA bill!

    Outdoor1 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    WHY SB 1314 AND HB 3313 ARE BAD PUBLIC POLICY THIS IS A SCOPE OF PRACTICE FIGHT! FACTS: With insufficient funds for critical needs in the state, why create a licensure advisory board and licensure...

  15. Taste of the first month in front loaded school

    Outdoor1 replied to jin00005's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It will get easier with time for you to manage things. You are going through what we all went through our first months of school. Nothing can really prepare you for it. Just keep at it. Good luck...

  16. TCU and Oklahoma distance option

    Outdoor1 replied to LV2BME's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You are correct. That is how it works. 1st semester is at TCU and the rest may be at the distance

  17. TEXAS CRNA's Call to action. Stop the potential AA bill!

    Outdoor1 replied to Outdoor1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There is a bottom line to this whole discussion. There are a million small points to argue back and forth we could go on forever. The point is....AA's are a threat to CRNA's. As so many have pointed...

  18. TCU and Oklahoma distance option

    Outdoor1 replied to LV2BME's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    THere are no online CRNA programs that I am aware of. The TCU distance option works like this. For the 1st 6 months you must attend class in Fort Worth at TCU. The second semester if there are 2 or...

  19. TEXAS CRNA's Call to action. Stop the potential AA bill!

    Outdoor1 replied to Outdoor1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There is a shortage of providers to mostly rural areas. THe problem is AA's will not fill this gap. They can only work under the supervision of an anesthesiologist (who most don't live in these...

  20. Child Support Reduction for School?

    Outdoor1 replied to GmanRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's a funny thing how life and our commitments don't stop because we want to go back to school. I agree with most of the posters here. 1st talk to your ex and if your child doens't really need this...

  21. 2007 school ranking

    Outdoor1 replied to JoYang's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You know i do recall a thread about this and someone did post some good information on this. I can't quite remember at this time. I just remember talking to the director of my program who is pretty...

  22. 2007 school ranking

    Outdoor1 replied to JoYang's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This ranking is very political in nature and has nothing to to with pass rates or what the programs offer. Just something to keep in mind when looking at the US News and World

  23. Realistic Avg GPA for admission

    Outdoor1 replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think a lot of people on this board are sick of the GPA question. 3.1 here 2 years of ICU experience and around 1000 on the GRE. All of that doesn't mean squat. I am a year into a very tough CRNA...

  24. Goals/Applications

    Outdoor1 replied to KermitRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This has come up before so you may want to do a search. But with that said you have to put what you think and what is the truth. You have to be able to explain what you want for your future. Think...

  25. CRNA school with children

    Outdoor1 replied to crnastudent1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Boy has this started a little riot on here. I am in school and have no children. I do agree with some of this post, but i guess it could have been said a little differently and there is more to...
