    loveanesthesia replied to Mayn0124's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Look at the structure of the curriculum and faculty. Some DNP programs will put you in courses with non anesthesia students and faculty. That can be OK but it can also be frustrating to spend a lot of...

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

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

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

  7. CRNA vs AA?

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

    It's important to understand that CRNAs are proud of our capabilities and history. You may feel that my demonstration of the differences between a CRNA and an AA is a 'put down', but I'm just stating...

  15. Fastest Route Possible?

    loveanesthesia replied to 504girl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    An accelerated RN program is challenging. If you're not a good test taker you could fail and have more debt. Nursing school isn't necessarily easier than medical school. How about medical sales? You...

  17. Wolford CRNA Fall 2017

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

  20. Wolford college CRNA Spring 2018

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

    The current students are in a tough spot. It's possible that about 80 won't be able to graduate before the program looses COA accreditation next fall. If they close the doors suddenly because of cash...
