  1. 1 year of experience or is 2 a MUST?

    armynse replied to premedturnednursing's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do you have any experience in another health care field? If not, you will likely encounter some resistance getting into CRNA school. The reason that I say this is because there's so much competition...

  2. TCU Interview

    armynse replied to TxTraumaICURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    For everyone considering CRNA school this year, filling out a FAFSA as soon as possible is great advice. I have friends, here in Louisiana, that found out about their acceptances in May of last year...

  3. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

    armynse replied to jrec's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congratulations!!! I'm a reservist returning to active duty. I was previously commissioned as a critical care nurse(66H8A) in the Army Nurse Corps...hooah!! Check your PM...

  4. Organ Harvesting Anesthesia

    armynse replied to naturalgas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ditto for Louisiana, surviving family members can override your wishes when it comes to organ donation. Having that little heart on your driver's license does not constitute consent to donate. As for...

  5. First Day of the 18th Grade!

    armynse replied to Fish O<'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Really cute...did you pack his lunch,

  6. How much $ did it take to get you through your CRNA program?

    armynse replied to Future-nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The US Army Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing(USAGPAN) is 30 months duration. It's a front-loaded program, meaning 12 months didactic followed by 18 months clinical. Upon graduation, if you are...

  7. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

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

    Pedsccrn, I am not directing this toward you because I can certainly relate to your anxiety during the interview process. However, I believe that interviews should involve clinical questions. The fact...

  8. Does it Matter which Program? And, other questions

    armynse replied to RN20102010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nursing Anesthesia programs require that you obtain your BSN from an accredited school of nursing...with very good grades. Programs are not looking for BSN graduates from select nursing programs....

  9. Nervous about telling co-workers

    armynse replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I probably wouldn't reveal my desire to attend CRNA school to potential employers. You mentioned that several of your classmates share the same goal and that all of you might end up working at the...

  10. Nervous about telling co-workers

    armynse replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I didn't keep the news of my acceptance on the down-low. I've shared my joy with everyone who would listen. I'm surrounded by ADNs therefore there's no real competition factor. The truth of the matter...

  11. Nervous about telling co-workers

    armynse replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You know the assignment we're talking about...the pt that you can hear screaming when you're parking your vehicle. Even worse, how about that little old lady who loves to play with fecal matter. As...

  12. Nervous about telling co-workers

    armynse replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    well

  13. Nervous about telling co-workers

    armynse replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Probably not the smartest move...the inevitable jealousy among your peers will definitely work against you. You may even encounter some flak from your boss. I've seen this happen so many times in the...

  14. Took boards today!

    armynse replied to EmeraldNYL's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Awesome...congrats!!!

  15. Received board results

    armynse replied to CRNAMASTER's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    :cheers:Can't imagine how elated you must feel...the hardest part is behind you. Good luck in your new career.

  16. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

    armynse replied to jrec's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You go girl...well done. Congratulations! Now, give up that other spot so someone else can share the joy...heheheh. Welcome to the club of future SRNAs.

  17. Help choosing job

    armynse replied to ICUNurseJess's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have to disagree with this statement as it pertains to MICU. You can gain a wealth of critical care experience in a medical intensive care unit. Where do you think that train wreck also known as...

  18. Would you choose this path again?

    armynse replied to allthemadmen's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Many people become doctors for the prestige, the sense of superiority, the need to be God, and/or the need to be sued...take your pick. Personally, I didn't have the desire to put myself through the...

  19. CRNA vs. anesthesiologist

    armynse replied to jermaughan0814's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    About the CRNAs with 'tudes...I've worked in big city hospitals where you couldn't tell the CRNA from the MDA based upon attitude alone. Seems that some, not all, have selective memories...they forget...

  20. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

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

    Well done...congratulations!!

  21. Is the CRNA job stressful?

    armynse replied to sunshine32's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you are responsible for putting someone to sleep, you are equally responsible for waking them up...patients expect to wake up(i.e., no celestial discharges in the OR). I'm sure the stress level...

  22. Is CRNA education possible over age 50?

    armynse replied to amadablam's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CRNA programs don't discriminate based upon age. I would think that your odds of getting in are better than those of someone half your age. Go for it...good
