  2. Crna Boards

    Yes, I do. One of my classmates, who took the exam this past January, took all of the questions and passed. So it can be done.

  3. Crna Boards

    SproutRN replied to CAJUNSRNA1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    TOM!!!!! Hey, man, I thought you forgot your ol' buddy Sprout. Go to the Fed Ex website and under the TRACK menu click on alternate reference. Then fill in CCNA as the reference, then put in US and...

  4. Crna Boards

    SproutRN replied to CAJUNSRNA1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My experience, a year ago, was that the AANA website did not add CRNA to my name until about a couple of weeks after I got my results back. However, I was able to call the AANA recert. phone line on...

    SproutRN replied to Anesthetist_to_be's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  7. Samford SRNAs June 2007

    SproutRN replied to Hold'emRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I graduated in the first class last December! The program is awesome and the faculty is terrific. I have not met the new director, but have heard good things from current students. Best of luck and...

  8. Books for CRNA School?

    SproutRN replied to kukukajoo's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    kukukajoo, If you really want to decide if you would like to go to anesthesia school, contact someone in the anesthesia department at a hospital to "shadow" a CRNA for the day or a few days. This...

  9. Parm Question

    SproutRN replied to swanguy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If my memory serves me correctly cAMP acts differently in certain areas of the body....just as you described. I believe it also causes bronchodilation in the lungs. Anywhooo.....sorry that wasn't...

  10. How helpful is Valley Review?

    SproutRN replied to jts2404's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The material IS copyrighted and they make it very clear in their class that they will pursue legal action if it is found copied.......be careful!

  11. Board Exam Jitters

    SproutRN replied to SleepyIIs's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with the post above....you will never be completely ready to take boards. It's more like, you are ready for them to be over! It sounds like you have put in good solid study time and will...

  12. 24 hour ICU visitation

    SproutRN replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    We have an "open" visitation policy in our 16 bed Trauma/Surgery ICU and have had that policy since we opened the new unit about 5 years ago. The rules are made very clear to family members upon the...

  13. Mixing ephedrine with neo...

    SproutRN replied to Phishininau's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree! Personally, I use ephedrine as my first line drug in decreased BP and if continued support is needed I swap to the good ol' Neo- drip if necessary. I have never seen anyone at my facility...

  14. My feeling after taking boards...a lesson for all

    SproutRN replied to MaleAPRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My best wishes and prayers are with you Vinny!! You can do it!! Look forward to hearing from you soon.......stay in it!

    SproutRN replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    :deadhorse We are still beating this one?!

  16. Question about CRNA boards

    SproutRN replied to DolphinRN84's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The only way you find out if you passed is getting your results that are delievered by FedEx. It generally takes at least a couple weeks to get your results back. I got mine back in 20 days back in...

  17. Question about CRNA boards

    SproutRN replied to DolphinRN84's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I took boards in January. It is a computerized exam with a minimum of 90 and the maximum is 160 questions. You can pass or fail anywhere in between. The difficulty of the question you answer is...

  18. payment for SRNA's ?????

    SproutRN replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My facility does not allow for SRNA's to "run" their own room. A SRNA is always supervised by a CRNA, be it across the OR room but we must be in there with them. Because of changes in Medicare and I...

  19. My feeling after taking boards...a lesson for all

    SproutRN replied to MaleAPRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Vinny, I remember the exact same feelings from 8 months ago! And just so you know, I had a few folks in my class take all 160 questions and they passed! So keep your head up and stay busy while you...

  20. Nurse Anesthesia Board Exam Advice

    SproutRN replied to MaleAPRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Best of luck to you......the nerves start when you sit down at the computer! You will be fine though, keep us posted on how things go.

  21. Boards response time

    SproutRN replied to catcolalex's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Took 'em in late January and got results back in 20 days........it seemed like forever. I bet it won't take that long this time of year. Good luck!

  22. CRNA school with children

    SproutRN replied to crnastudent1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm sorry but are you sure you are not 12?? The statements you have made here are mindless and quite ridiculous. Who are you to decide when it is right for a person to attend CRNA school? I happened...

  23. ever have second thoughts...?

    SproutRN replied to dfk's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Been there, done that....been a CRNA six months now! You can do it too! Good luck,

  24. Nurse Anesthesia Board Exam Advice

    SproutRN replied to MaleAPRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Took boards in January and found that not too many of my questions came from the Valley Review. I did use both the sweat book and memory master and I supplemented that information with Morgan and...

  25. Valley Anesthesia: Should I go or just get the sweat book.

    SproutRN replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm pretty sure you won't find any information regarding that from the AANA. I would find it hard to believe they endorse a course that is partly based on information from individuals who provide...
