Dude, how much is your monthly payment????

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. SproutCRNA

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 then your zip code. If your results have been mai...

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 the day my results came and found out my recertifi...

Congratulations...... School is a long, hard road....but well worth it! Good luck!!! SproutCRNA

Got your message, I'll try and get back with some answers tomorrow....it's been a long day! Sprout

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 congratulations!! SproutCRNA

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 will allow you to see exactly what our daily routine ...

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 much help. I don't think I'd stress too much over ...

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! SproutCRNA

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 probably do fine on the exam. Just remember you will ...

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 patient's arrival to the unit. And I think this i...

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 mix the drugs. Of course, now there's that pesky Ne...

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

:deadhorse We are still beating this one?! Sprout

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 January. It was almost 3 weeks of complete tortu...

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 based on the prior question. There are also a certai...

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 assume other insurance providers, we must documen...

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 await your results! I started working the week afte...

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. Sprout

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! Sprout

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 to start CRNA school when I was 36 and my childre...

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

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 Mikhail. I don't think you will ever feel totally pr...

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 them with board questions. I did take the course an...
