  3. Helpful Physio & Chem Prep Courses? Barry & VCU courses?

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

    I have taken the Med Chem course with VCU and start at VCU in August. The course is very helpful, but it is what you make of it--- work hard, complete the reading, and complete the modules, and you...

  4. Why Do Crna Gets Paid So Much?

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

    I think you might want to clarify this statement. Leaving never changes anything, rather shifts the issue to "somebody else's problem" or passes the buck. AANA didn't leave when the going got...

    DIGNOUT replied to EMRNCRNA2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Glen Allen is a nice area that has seen a huge boom here of late in housing and economic growth. Being North of Richmond, and having the growing population it has, traffic is fun during rush hour......

    DIGNOUT replied to EMRNCRNA2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First, I will be one of your classmates in August. I'm looking forward to meeting you all! Second, Southside encompasses a rather large area of Richmond, which is cut in half (North and South) by the...

  9. All CRNAs need to READ this

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

    A good end to this discussion might be: I am a nurse, therefore I am not a physician. A physician is a physician, therefore he/she is not a

  11. Senior SRNA Accepted to Medical School. Now what?

    DIGNOUT replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Nursing vs. medicine. There's your dilemma. If you want to continue to be a nurse, you're almost done. If you want to be a physician, go to medical school. Write out a pros and cons list......

  12. CCRN and CRNA???

    DIGNOUT replied to gators77's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    One can never have too many i's dotted or t's crossed. Good luck to

  13. Senior SRNA Accepted to Medical School. Now what?

    DIGNOUT replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you've been through a boom and bust cycle with nursing, you must be quite old indeed. What, 70, 80? You can see nursing shortage stories on the cover of Time circa WWII. It hasn't gotten any...

  14. I need help with interview - CRNA role

    DIGNOUT replied to fordl98's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Have you shadowed a nurse anesthetist? Doing so may give you a better idea of the roles of a CRNA... one does NOT want to apply to anesthesia school without first knowing what it is they are going to...

  15. Is it okay to go to a community college?

    DIGNOUT replied to Chloe8043's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My entry into practice was at the diploma level (yes, we are still out there). I earned a concurrent AS at a junior college (yes, there are junior colleges still out there). I completed a BSN at a...

  16. Senior SRNA Accepted to Medical School. Now what?

    DIGNOUT replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ha! That's a good one. Lest we forget? We are knee-deep in an unending nursing shortage. Do not ever forget CRNAs are nurses. Where there's a need, there's a job. Bring on the AAs. CRNAs will...

  17. CRNA applicant

    DIGNOUT replied to Bearlak3RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I hit several bumps in the road my first go 'round in school. Got my head screwed on straight, did well, and got into anesthesia school. I wasn't even asked about those less than stellar years. You...

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

    The way retirement/Social Security may be headed, so long as you aren't dead, you're never too

  19. CCU for CRNA school?

    DIGNOUT replied to longhorn3333's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CCU experience worked fine for me. Give yourself time to get and hone experience. Being exposed to something several times should not be considered replacement for understanding the whys and hows....

  20. Why Do Crna Gets Paid So Much?

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

    This is not correct. A PhD is a research doctorate. The AACN is pushing the earlier bid for doctoral preparation. The AANA is pushing towards a goal of a practice doctorate (DNP, DNAP) or similar...

  21. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    English Co-Conspirator: Can you repost as a quoted piece? The Medscape site isn't being friendly.

  22. Why Do Crna Gets Paid So Much?

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

    Please read ocankhe's comment for something that might put your qualms into perspective: The question should not be why are CRNA's paid so much but why are other nursing career paths paid so little?...

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

    :smackingf Things not to say for 500, Alex. Not to single any one comment out, but here goes: 1. One does not become a CRNA solely because of the income (shame, hubby, shame:trout:). Income is a...
