    gaspassah replied to susswood's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    no not down at all. i actually have been having some really good experiences. my preceptors have been very teaching oriented and not pimp oriented. about the students, at the facility i started in,...

  2. Future Kaiser Students?

    gaspassah replied to susswood's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    the key to being hired by kaiser if you are a kaiser student is to perform well, show you are a team player, and are teachable. your last 3 month rotation is more or less your choice and most ppl...

    gaspassah replied to Auggienme's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    it's my understanding that it doenst really matter where you go or went to school when you apply for a job...the question is did you pass the boards? if you pass the boards you are supposed to be...

  4. For those that have applied......

    gaspassah replied to UCDSICURN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

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

  8. OR Nurses Giving Conscious Sedation--WHY SHOULD WE?

    gaspassah replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    i have to agree with steve on this one. just last week a patient died in the outpatient surgery center just after getting a retrobulbar block. btw crna's are with our patients at all times. just goes...

  9. Career change

    gaspassah replied to txlucky1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    i think one of the most valuable things you can do is to approach someone in the anesthesia dept and ask to shadow for a day or so. this will give you more information on what crna's do more so than...

  10. the future of CRNA's

    gaspassah replied to statnurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    i think that there were 6 alternates from last year, so they took 29 this year. i think that kaiser is at critical mass now. being in a class of 35 there just is not enough space (classroom), clinical...

  11. Pediatric anesthesia

    gaspassah replied to Toby's mum's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  12. OR Nurses Giving Conscious Sedation--WHY SHOULD WE?

    gaspassah replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    gaspassah replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    well, as a second semester srna i won't get too deeply into the semantics currently in this thread other than to say, every crna i have worked with, talked to, taken lecture from, has stated. "learn...

  14. Okay, lets say someone DOESN"T get accepted into CRNA school the first time around...

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

    in my opinion, as humble as it is, is that some panels think that ppl with multiple degrees sometimes appear to be searching for something, rather than committed to what they are doing. ie i wasnt...

    gaspassah replied to susswood's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  20. Front Loaded versus Integrated Programs

    gaspassah replied to nursemcdonald's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    intergrated=put knowledge to use right away. rotating=learn the most you can from as many ppl as possible=most knowledge gained when you graduate. imho.

    gaspassah replied to jacads's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    gaspassah replied to yoga crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
