  1. bad news

    Gump replied to gasgalcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The good news is that YOU WILL PASS! My advice is this: Go Thru each section in the sweat book one-at-a-time, not only to memorize, but be sure to understand the concepts inside AND out, up AND down,...

    Gump replied to rn4cicu's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    They are different, but maybe not "obviously" to a junior student. not trying to start a pissing match, just letting the OP know that it's still important to know your weight-based

  5. Books for UAB's program

    Gump replied to MrsSandman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It is absolutely the same 2-volume book... You will be given instructions during orientation on how to get it...you must have a "blazer id" which you will create once you are enrolled...

  6. Books for UAB's program

    Gump replied to MrsSandman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    "Clinical Anesthesiology" = Morgan, Mikhail, Murray - this is (in my opinion) a must have for supplemental readings.... "Miller's Anesthesia" = you will be able to get for free online (very good...

    Gump replied to Roland's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Roland, This has all been touched on before in one form or another, but I like the way you have asked these questions and I will answer it now... Mainly to show other "borderline" applicants that it...

  8. Question about UAB and Samford?

    Gump replied to kabarnes's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm a UAB student and would say that you would see/experience almost the whole gamut at either of the two schools. UAB students get pediatric experience from Children's Hospital in Birmingham or from...

  11. manual of surgical procedures

    Gump posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I've heard that "Anesthesiologist's Manual of Surgical Procedures" by Jaffe and Samuels was a good reference to use for anesthesia management plans. Can you guys (that use/own it) tell me what you...

    Gump replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  14. Grades, Gre Scores, Experience, etc...

    Gump replied to malraymal's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh, that's hilarious now... I chased a lot of things in under-grad myself... and grades were never a problem, until it came time to apply to graduate school... You know, the funny thing is, now that...

  15. UAB Tuscaloosa Component

    Gump replied to Lucy54's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Gump replied to Lucy54's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Gump replied to jrec's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I feel that the program and faculty are great! Dr. Williams has been the director there for a long time and he has put together a great bunch of instructors. Most, if not all of the program's...

  20. UAB acceptance?

    Gump replied to jrec's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Dr. Williams IS a very laid back guy. He teaches several sections in our pharmacology class, and he does the professional aspects portion. He is a good guy with a lot of experience and he enjoys what...

  21. pKa

    Gump posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm having trouble with this in my mind... I understand that if a drug with a pKa of say 7.4 were put into plasma with a pKa of 7.4, then 50% of the drug will be unionized and 50% will be ionized; the...
