  1. CRNA

    loveanesthesia replied to sandbag33's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Are you in a program? Read the textbooks and study your coursework. Don't start board review programs until the last semester. Learning anesthesia in order to appropriately care for patients should be...

  2. PA CRNA potential student

    loveanesthesia replied to TreeKitty's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    USNW rankings for CRNA programs are based entirely on an anonymous survey of Program Directors done every 4 years. It's a list of all the program names and a 5 point rating scale sent to PD and...

  3. Applying to CRNA Programs?

    loveanesthesia replied to mph53953's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Introverted is fine, and your grades are fine. You are going to need to answer why you withdrew from the class. So really think about that, you have plenty of time to do that. The best answer is the...

  4. PA CRNA potential student

    loveanesthesia replied to TreeKitty's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All CRNA schools is not that accurate, they have information from 3 or 4 years ago. And their AA page just bugs me. I've emailed them about it but I think they're getting paid to have it on the site....

  5. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

    loveanesthesia replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm not sure there is a lot of room for CRNA salaries to increase. I wouldn't plan on that unless you are prepared for independent practice. CRNA retirement s are a secondary factor in the CRNA...

  6. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

    loveanesthesia replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    CRNA shortage can be seen by the number of open jobs increasing nationally. Demand is increasing due to a general increase in anesthesia demand due to the number of procedures with an aging...

  7. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

    loveanesthesia replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That's fantastic! The whole idea that the ACT, especially a stifling ACT, improves patient care is such a scam. Glad to see an experienced CRNA stay in the workforce because a serious shortage is just...

  8. Should I bother applying to CRNA school?

    loveanesthesia replied to go_jets82's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your GPA is above 3.0 so your application will be considered by most programs and will get you an interview at many. A good GRE score will help for those programs who look at it. You are the applicant...

  9. Cricoid Pressure

    loveanesthesia replied to SBURNSTEVEN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Pressure should be held until you verify the ET is in the trachea. Once you are certain you have the ET in the right place then release pressure. Make

  10. Wolford college CRNA Spring 2018

    loveanesthesia replied to mi_top_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Look for a school where you are not limited by residents. You want clinical rotations where you don't compete with residents for

  11. Wolford college CRNA Spring 2018

    loveanesthesia replied to mi_top_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Actually it's not about reputation, you can overcome that if you're really good. If they are not regionally accredited you can never overcome that no matter how good you are. Your degree will never be...

  12. Wolford college CRNA Spring 2018

    loveanesthesia replied to mi_top_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If they achieve a relationship with a college with regional accreditation it might be worth the risk. Otherwise it's not and I think you're going to regret

  13. Lost Pre-Med Student: CRNA or AA?

    loveanesthesia replied to MementoMori's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CRNA - AA opportunities will become more limited as cost tightening increases while CRNA opportunities are expanding. You're ideal for the accelerated BSN. And the nursing experience is key to...

    loveanesthesia replied to bidex28's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    NLN was an old term for ACEN. So yes, ACEN is

  15. Capella university BSN for CRNA school

    loveanesthesia replied to bidex28's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CCNE and ACEN (and now a third one) are nursing accreditation which is required for a nursing degree. A nursing program in any state can apply for the nursing accreditation of their choice. That's...

  16. Chances for CRNA

    loveanesthesia replied to icurn32's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Great GRE scores, you are a strong candidate

  17. Chances for CRNA

    loveanesthesia replied to icurn32's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your GPA should get you an interview and then you can explain your background. I think you are a good candidate assuming your GRE scores are

  18. Capella university BSN for CRNA school

    loveanesthesia replied to bidex28's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Capella is REGIONALLY accredited-which is important. National accreditation is not acceptable. Does your transcript show credit hours and a traditional

  19. Is this job hopping/bad?

    loveanesthesia replied to mindy kaling's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I doubt nurse anesthesia programs will mind, but also consider when you plan to apply. Hard for a new job to give references prior to a year. If you plan to apply a year from now, I'd move. Staying...

  20. I want to apply to crna school, is my gpa too low?

    loveanesthesia replied to Tstoltz's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you had the same number of credits each year your overall GPA should be well over a 3.5. You'll be

  21. Disadvantage attending a smaller program?

    loveanesthesia replied to TBLV4's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Once you see what it's like to be an independent CRNA I wouldn't be surprised if you change your mind about the big trauma

  22. CRNA programs that will accept a BSN from a nationally accredited program

    loveanesthesia replied to ponyboy86's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The degree from Northern AZ will help, now you may need to take some specific course prerequisites from a regionally accredited institution. For example if a program requires 2 semesters of chemistry...

    loveanesthesia replied to ponyboy86's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All CRNA programs are required to have regionally accreditation. The standards for regional accreditation require that the only degrees and credits a regionally accredited institution can recognize...

  24. CRNA programs that will accept a BSN from a nationally accredited program

    loveanesthesia replied to ponyboy86's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    None officially, but I've seen it get slid by. I assume either they aren't paying attention or need to fill a class and are banking on no one checking the file. Did your BSN program inform you of the...

  25. CRNA vs. MD

    loveanesthesia replied to weareone26's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Work life balance varies between practice position s but not by CRNA and MD. Both can have crazy hours depending on the setting. Many CRNAs have great job satisfaction but not all. I was encouraged to...
