  1. question about Texas Weslyan application

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

    Although TWU doesn't require you have the CCRN, it certainly gives you an advantage. I would say waiting at least until you have that done. If you can complete it sooner I would. Don't wait until...

  2. TCU 08 insurance???

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

    We get a free student membership to the on-campus sports center that has a gym and other ammenities (I haven't seen it yet but heard it's awesome) so that takes care of the exercise part. Apparently...

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

    I don't want to take out many loans at my age....I'd hate to be paying them off with my social security! A friend of mine did her CNS at TCU and her loans are costing her $500 a month, and she...

  4. Chances of admittance to CRNA school after previous dismissal

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

    I had no idea so I called my sis who is a prof. at a Texas Univ. and she said that they can withdraw your degree. Actually make it null and void. Wow! That's pretty crazy. But according to her if...

  5. Chances of admittance to CRNA school after previous dismissal

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

    Possibly, except that part of the policy at each school is that you must submit ALL previous transcripts, and failure to do so could result in being kicked out of the program if

  7. CRNA vs AA

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

    :deadhorse Spoken by a true AA.......enough of this. It's obvious that as an AA u see CRNA's as the evil other and nothing will change that. I have spoken with MDA's recently who still favor CRNA's...

  8. Question: FNP to CRNA?

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

    I don't know what the hours are for maintaining certs, but the NP's I know here in TX have all told me that u have to work a certain # per year to maintain your certification. I would call ur state...

  9. CRNA vs AA

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

    I really had a nice giggle from your post (no offense). My ex was an MDA, and so I was around his anesthesia group for years and years. Only 2 out of the 12 + peeps (MDA's)in the group were...

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

    So did u take the Stafford for the $20,500? Cuz with that, plus the $1500 deposit we paid, you only have to borrow another $10,000 for the first year total of $32,000. That's what Debi in financial...

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

    I just accepted my Stafford loans this week (gulp). Waiting on them to post my HELP loan so I can accept that too. At least year 2 isn't as expensive......I am really excited now, and impatient! I...

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

    I bought an HP Pavilion. Don't know the exact specs but it's a screamin' machine! I've been using it & so glad I got the big widescreen I did. That's what I suggest to you, besides power get a...

  13. "PRIVATE/ALTERNATIVE" LOANS for SRNAs

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

    I chose to take the Stafford for $20,500 and the HELP loan (specifically for med students & graduate nursing students) of $10,000. I already paid a $1500 deposit, so the grand total for...

  14. Ccu, Cvicu, Micu

    gasmaster replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh, forgot to comment on this.....float pools are good for ICU nurses who are already experienced but not so much for those looking to learn. Why? Typically float nurses are given the lowest acuity...

  15. Ccu, Cvicu, Micu

    gasmaster replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Best advice I can give.....it really doesn't matter which unit you work in, but rather how high the acuity is of that unit. Many people will tell you that anesthesia schools prefer cardiac units....

  16. Question: FNP to CRNA?

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

    Oops! when you said AA u didn't mean anesthesia assistant right but rather associates of arts? Duh! Yeh, u could do the AA but and then work ICU, then apply for

  17. Question: FNP to CRNA?

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

    So, let me get this straight....you aren't an RN? This program will allow you to receive your post-bacc RN? Ok, I'm not familiar with those programs. Also, if you get an AA you can work as an RN in...

  18. Question: FNP to CRNA?

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

    Just curious....by why bother becoming an FNP if you are just going to turn around and become a CRNA? These are 2 entirely different disciplines and do not have intersecting paths. In order to...

  20. CRNA vs AA

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

    I am still confused. Are you a CRNA? It seems that you are saying that you are part of the decision making crew for an anesthesia group. Am I correct or just reading too much into what you are...

  21. CRNA vs AA

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

    Ha! No, I am not a recruiter. I am preparing to enter a CRNA program this fall. Many of the students I know are already working with recruiters to secure jobs upon graduation. So, are you a CRNA?...

  22. CRNA vs AA

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

    Believe it or not those are accurate salaries. I know CRNA's that work in rural areas and make well over $200k. I live in the Dallas/FW area and the average salary here for a new grad is between...
