  1. Locum Tenens

    Folks, sorry if this was already discussed in another area of the board...wanted to get some opinions on LT work. From what I am seeing, sounds like a great way to get some varied experience in a variety of locations. That being said, I would think ...
  2. My Life in Illinois

    Kevin, thanks for the great update. I know I was waiting to hear how things are going, and not only am I happy for you, I've been encouraged a great deal about life as a CRNA. Whenever I think twice about the road I'm choosing, I look to your posts. ...
  3. Ketamine use

    Ketamine may be a good choice for CS in some children, especially when its difficult to get a line in; can be given IM, no respiratory or cv depression.

  6. SRNA for a day entry for 10/15/02

    new ccu rn - just a little advice: Don't take your organic over the summer if you can help it. Organic holds lots of memorization and concept building, and it is very tough in a compressed state (6weeks; 13 for two semesters). Do the physics during t...
  7. For Gowkout - off topic (slightly): Good to know you are from Florida. What do you think about Gooding in Panama City? Have you heard anything positive/negative? Thanks!
  8. Why a CRNA??

    Brenna's Dad - your reply hit a chord with me. I have had the same experience. It hit me again today, as someone who I didn't know assumed I was ignorant because my nametag said "RN" after my name. Does it get any better in the OR as a CRNA? I realiz...
  9. Getting in to the ICU

    Susan, I can't tell for sure, but it sounds like you may be an RN who is an ADN or Diploma grad who is getting her BSN - is that right? If that's the case, I would encourage you to keep pursuing the job you want in a unit setting. I know I was surpri...
  10. Moving

    Moving is a funny thing. It depends on so much. A move for one person can be a wonderful experience, while a move for someone else can be more challenging. My oldest son decided to move to Atlanta (we're in Boston) for his first semester of college a...
  11. How much CHEMISTRY did you take as an undergrad?

    Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents, for what it's worth. Originally, when I decided to pursue admission to a CRNA program, my thinking was that I should have basically the same prerequisites that any pre-med student should have: 2 semesters of general o...
  12. CRNA Instruction

    Thanks Brad - I had not even considered Gonzaga. I'll check it out.
  13. CRNA Instruction

    Good information, Kevin, thanks. You've all been very encouraging. I smiled when I read about Dr. Chipas and the direction he got to get his BSN first - that's exactly the mindset I run into so often. His story is VERY encouraging. Thanks all, for t...
  14. CRNA Instruction

    Thanks, bug, I found your posts most helpful; they made much sense. To answer your question, I have been an RN for over 20 years, an ADN with a BA in Classics (go figure) and an MEd. Sooo, looking at schools, I am more inclined to NOT pursue the MSN ...
  15. CRNA Instruction

    Also, to Brett - sorry you did not appreciate my post. I certainly did not mean to offend you. However, I must remind you that I posted a very reasonable question, and you called my intelligence into question. Not sure why you did that, but I guess I...
