1. All SRNA's: Have you bitten your tongues in half?

   kkrnkk replied to kkrnkk's topic in CRNA

   Thanks Loisane for your entry. It is all very true. Unfortunately, not taking the verbal abuse would just make everything worse, so I will just have to suck it up and get over it. The stress is unbelieveable and it should be considering the respon...

   I would not bother retaking the class considering your GPA is so high anyway. Besides, they look at A LOT more than just your gpa. good luck!

3. All SRNA's: Have you bitten your tongues in half?

   kkrnkk posted a topic in CRNA

   Just curious to see how many of you have had "problems" at your clinical sites, whether clinical or just personality conflicts, whether real or perceived by others. How do you handle it and is your tongue as black and blue as mine? Do you get told ...

6. To All Srna's

   kkrnkk replied to peds2bee's topic in CRNA

   Of course working at a big hospital is best because you can get more experience with all the technology available at such facilities. But, obviously that opportunity is not available to everyone. I was told that the experience is a great asset, but...

   kkrnkk replied to FritoPie's topic in CRNA

   ADN all the way!!! First, you will definitely hate commuting that amount of time everyday. I am not sure what your family situation is, but if you have a family, I would definitely not do the commute. Any extra time you have not in school, you will...

9. Anyone down around the Souteast?

   kkrnkk replied to ufmatt's topic in CRNA

   Matt- Another school you might like to check out is University of South Carolina. The program awards a degree in Masters of Nurse Anesthesia, which means less "nursing" courses. The program is actually based in the medical school. There is NO comp...

10. re: applying for schools

    kkrnkk replied to Rena RN 2003's topic in CRNA

    Sam- I haven't begun classes yet. I start in January, so that remains to be seen. I am sure I will have to study harder than others in some areas, but hopefully everything will go well.

    kkrnkk replied to Rena RN 2003's topic in CRNA

    Sam, Actually, confident was definitely not the case. I had 5 years ED experience and one year exp. as a clinical coordinator. I didn't think I had an ice cube's chance in hell of being accepted after talking to some of the people at the interview....

    Hi, I only applied to one school, one time, with no ICU experience, and got in, so it can be done. GOOD LUCK!

13. Why a CRNA??

    kkrnkk replied to smogmatt's topic in CRNA

    The CHALLENGE- the AUTONOMY- the ability to take care of patients at a much higher level- (still be able to do the things I enjoyed about nursing like teaching, interacting with patients and thier families, etc.) AND OF COURSE, THE COMPENSATION.

15. How old can you be before they give you "the boot" as a CRNA?

    kkrnkk replied to Roland's topic in CRNA

    Roland- I really do not think you would get the "boot" at age sixty as a CRNA. Keep in mind there is a huge nursing shortage and that includes CRNA's and it is predicted to worsen over the next twenty years drastically. Therefore, they will allow ...
