    gasmaster posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

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

  5. Advice Please ...

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

    I agree with Ruby. You need to decide between the two programs. It would honestly be a waste of time & money to pursue the NP if you aren't going to use it. And the classes don't transfer to...

  6. BSN needed for CRNA school?

    gasmaster replied to DJC85's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    From what I've seen many schools accept a BS in a science field with a ADN or diploma RN. However, if you plan on getting the doctorate you must have a

  7. So what do you think? CRNA Admissionns

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

    Keep in mind that if you over work yourself you may not have the same focus as you would have with a less demanding work schedule. The goal of the ICU pre-CRNA application is to learn as much as...

  8. TCU Fall '09

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

    It was okay, lots of people there, but the recruiters were really wanting to talk to the folks going into clinicals & those graduating. I did learn that a lot of jobs will hire when you are still...

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

    Ah, didn't get the career fair notice in the mail because they were sent to the new students accepted this year. Since I was not on that list, as the hold-over from last year, I didn't get it. I was...

  11. Comprehensive degree, licensure, certification, test requirements for CRNA

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

    1) The CRNA pre-reqs are your BSN. 2) You need to get the actual requirements from the schools you will be applying to. They can tell you exactly what GPA, GRE score, etc that is required to apply....

  12. Which GPA is more heavily weighed in consideration for acceptance into a CRNA program

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

    It's true that many schools will accept a BS in a related science filed with a ASN. It is not true that many will accept a BSBA. You will need to double check since your BS science based. Also, be...

  13. Less competative admissions

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

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

    Ok, first of all, you need to shadow an actual CRNA in the OR. What they do is totally different from the circulating or scrub nurses. I was just like you, trust me. It took me 17 years of ICU...

  17. TCU Fall '09

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

    I think it's specific to certain buildings. It's just down the block from the anesthesia building. The area around TCU is very mixed. Some of the most expensive homes in FW are there, and then a...

  23. I keep getting pulled into the CRNA direction. What is the Better fit?

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

    Consider 2 things: as a CRNA you did the chance to educate your pt about anesthesia and as an FNP you won't be taking care of high acuity patients like in the ICU- it would be more like clinic...

  24. When did you decide to be a CRNA?

    gasmaster replied to HealthNut12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I had no idea that I wanted to be a CRNA when I started nursing school. It wasn't until I'd worked ICU for a few years that I became interested but I waited 16 years to apply. I loved ICU and wanted...

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