    DIGNOUT replied to bangwa's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Check out VCU's combined MSNA/DNAP offering. It lengthens the program slightly, but you are awarded a first professional degree, Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice. Approval is pending to offer the...

    DIGNOUT replied to Putu2Sleep's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have just completed VCU's Med Chem online course... great course- very well laid out with good texts, excellent video lectures, and comprehensive evaluation measures. The best aspect is that is...

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

  6. Experience on Days vs. Nights

    DIGNOUT replied to srna2008's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    DIGNOUT replied to cvicu80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  11. Work during school?

    DIGNOUT replied to UTRN2005's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Though most would say quit and focus on school, there are always a few on here that say they worked with no problem... The issue is for you to decide, however, and one must weigh the options: extra...

  12. pennies for your thoughts please

    DIGNOUT replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First timer here. Every relationship is effort- some say 60% giving and 40% receiving, and that's for both partners. If there is a "Friends and Family" orientation to anesthesia school, why not...
