  1. How are my chances for CRNA School

    gasmaster replied to BSN14John's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    With the way you are planning & sound very committed, you should have no problem succeeding. I am interviewing at 2 schools in January, so watch for my posts

  2. do you need to go to a nursing school to become a CRNA?

    gasmaster replied to SBCHEV99's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    AA vs. CRNA has been a hot debate for a while. Sorry if I seemed overly defense about CRNA but I've read many, many, many, MANY emails bashing CRNA's and praising AA's (either written by AA's or...

  3. How are my chances for CRNA School

    gasmaster replied to BSN14John's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am trying to get in myself, so certainly no expert. Here's what I've learned through the process; Most programs want 1 year of critical care BEFORE you apply, though some will accept you if you have...

  4. do you need to go to a nursing school to become a CRNA?

    gasmaster replied to SBCHEV99's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Let me guess....either already an AA or planning on being one??? Your statements sound very familiar....much like some I've been reading on an M.D. anesthesia website where "AA's are great, CRNA's are...

  6. CNS Lymphomas - has anyone nursed a patient with one?

    gasmaster replied to mmsparkle's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Yeah, I work with them frequently in our unit, though they are typically either being newly dx or sicks as dogs and ready to die when they arrive. The treatments are horrible, most patients become...

  8. You know you're a neuro nurse if.....

    gasmaster replied to Elenaster's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    You find yourself using the phrase, "You have a tube in your bladder" over 100 times in a shift in respones to your patients frantic "I NEED TO PEE!"

  9. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

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

    You'll be fine! I know you will. But I know what you mean....my nerves are starting to wear thin too. After I got everything submitted I felt so relieved that I stopped stressing and just kinda...

  14. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

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

    I wonder if they have more than 1 team interviewing. Mine is as 10:00 before you, so if not then that means they only plan on keeping me for 30 minutes!!!:yelclap: Somehow though I believe this is...

  15. CRNA Programs that Accept ER experience

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

    Beedog is right. Most programs do not accept ER. Some will look at it if it's a Level I ED but that's about it. They still want you to have ICU as well though. Have you ever had any ICU...

  17. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

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

    Jan. 2 at TWU for me. TCU hasn't mailed my date yet. I sent back my residency request letter & then called to make sure they got it. MJ said that it would be after Thanksgiving before I should...

  18. Acls?

    gasmaster replied to johnson.2614's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can complete ACLS as a student, so why your education dept. wouldn't let you is beyond me. As an ACLS instructor x 15 years I can promise you that I've seen nursing students come through class on...

  19. oh no !!!! what now?

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

    Wesleyan will accept his application without his BSN as long as he will have it completed prior to the beginning of the program. I think, though, that he seems unprepared in that he doesn't have a...

  20. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

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

    Last year, unlike TWU, they didn't have a clinical interview. It was more of a "gettin' to know you" session according to those who went through it. Don't be fooled though. One of my pals from...

  21. Should I apply?

    gasmaster replied to chadday21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    One of the programs I applied to had changed their requirements in the past to "must have 1 year ICU prior to starting the program." They quickly changed it back to "must have 1 year prior to...

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

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

    A---hhaaa--ha-ha-ha-ha!!!! STOP! (wipes tears from eyes!) My sides are hurting!

  23. should i stay or should i go....

    gasmaster replied to amiro31's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Agreed Rayjc1. It's not about balloon pumps, or what type of ICU you work in, as long as it's high acuity and you get a lot of exposure to all sorts of wonderful things! I was lucky to be able to...
