Bangwa is talking about Anesthesiologist Assistants, also known as Physician Assistant type B....They are master degree anesthetists also and there programs do not require ICU experience....

:yeahthat: Exactly what I was saying!!!!

I can only say what I have heard from CRNA's that are my friends as WELL as the ones that I have worked with......But I have been told that the ICU experience is basically to learn how to critically think. What is learned in the ICU cannot be transl...

See........Now this is a darn shame!!!!:angryfire What in the world is going on in medicine today? This is scary!!! I heard that an ophthomologist in our area is going to start doing some non-invasive procedure on varicose veins....something that th...

I just felt the need to re=post what was already posted by me because ya'll seem to be going around and around what was already mentioned;)

Girl...You need to chill!!! Your time for schooling is coming quicker than you think and you need to relax and enjoy the little bit of time that you have left with your friends and family......You know that you won't have 5 months of time to be free...

I just thought that I should give my on the issue. Now I understand where CRNA's feel like they should have a say in pain management, because I believe there is a place in pain management that they could be part of...especially when you are giving ...

Hey Kirbybunny,........Dont give up...you will get in!!!...maybe not when you wanted to get in but when HE wants you to get in!!

:balloons:Congrats!!! Californianurse!!! I could tell from your posts that you really wanted TCU!!!:balloons:And now you are in!!!! I am sure it feels great!!

Congratulations SirJazz!!!........I was hoping that everything would turn out well for you..... Especially after reading some of your post on how worked up you were about your interview.....:chrs:

Congrats!!!!! I know you are sitting on high right now!!:balloons::pumpiron:

Thats great!!! Love it!!

I am never silent when I have worked hard, busted my butt, didn't eat, took a thousand tests and got A's in hard classes all to just APPLY to a program...getting in was the epitomy of all that I have done....I shouted off the highest mountain.... but...

LOL!!!!...... I am going to add the surgeons in that statement too Ebear!!:sasq:(Don't you just want to do that to some docs....or anybody for that matter)

If you really need a refresher for the quantitative section, I think Barrons GRE prep is the best......The best all around......Chck it out!! I really needed a math refresher and that book hooked me up... I also used Kaplan, but to me, Barrons was be...

Congratulations!!!......I am sure that you will do fine in school!!!...Taking some time off to breathe is a very good idea because you won't be able to do that for a while. I am sure that you are going to miss many people that you have worked with o...

Just some more facts to clear up this heated debate..... http://www.asahq.org/career/aa.htm There is also great info on the AANA website if anyone else is confused.......

Are you referring to the On-Q pump or the Painbuster ball that is used to quell post-op pain? The ortho surgeons that I work with usually use them on the shoulder cases ( rotator cuff repairs or total shoulders)... I have used them for total joints b...

I do not know if this applies to any of you that have applied to CRNA school, but I thought that I might ask people on this thread thier opinion on having to send a photogragh on applications. I have just sent in my application to 3 master degree pro...

Those are 300 level courses, that is not what I am referring to.....but I still find that interesting.... maybe Kutztown includes Biophysical Chemistry as their #2 instead of a different class....Have you taken them yet? I know Kutztown very well......

Inorganic chem 1&2 and General chem 1&2 are one and the same....Just to clarify(People make that mistake all the time).....And.... I have never seen an undergraduate biochem 1 AND 2.....Biochem is a stand alone class...What university or coll...

I think the AANA is shooting itself in the foot on this topic..... There aren't enough nurses going into anesthesia as it is and now with DNAP in place, there will be even less.......

In my hospital the CRNA answers the codes as well as residents, RT, and anyone else available for the patient....... In all honestly, I guess that depends on if you are at a teaching hospital or not....Mine is a teaching hospital......

You will get that ALOT as time goes on......

Thats funny ...... and cute.....Your definitely not used to driving like a maniac yet...... thats ok... you will in due time....
