  1. DNP program with no AACN accreditation

    loveanesthesia replied to Kjt850's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  3. Should the title "CRNA" be rebranded?

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

    Our nursing background is our stregnth. I agree that the perception of a 'nurse' is variable. I think the state boards of nursing should go after facilities that call medical assistants, or other...

  4. Regional Blocks and School

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

    There are no states that prohibited CRNAs from any anesthesia technique. There are institutions that prohibit CRNAs from selected techniques. One institution may not allow CRNAs to place labor...

  5. How to limit the time spend in building for becomming a CRNA?

    loveanesthesia replied to X123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nursing is a great career, and nurse anesthesia is even better. Plan to spend 4 years earning a BSN; earn great grades while there. Then spend 2-3 years in an ICU. You can travel to a different part...

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

    The NBCRNA requirement for NCE eligibilty is the completion of a COA accredited nurse anesthesia program. NCE eligibility is not dependent on a degree. So since Wolford is COA accredited, the...

  7. Wolford College CRNA February 2016 entry

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

    You are a very well informed student. When do you graduate? If you graduate before regional accreditation, your degree will never be

  8. Does it bother CRNA's that MDA's get so much more...?

    loveanesthesia replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why would 'anybody in their right mind be bothered' if a CRNA was paid more than an MD? Some CRNAs are paid more than some MDs (not many, but some). Why does that bother

  9. Wolford College CRNA February 2016 entry

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

    If this is the only program you can get into and they don't charge any tuition, then it's almost rational. Otherwise it's an irrational decision, especially with the number of FL

  10. Wolford College CRNA February 2016 entry

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

    If you graduate from this program before they become accredited then your degree will never be recognized. Even if they become accredited in the future it won't matter, they weren't accredited when...

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

    A 3.4 GPA in a BSN , or an ADN entry to practice RN program is competitive. If someone has a poor GPA in an ADN program and then brings the total GPA up by getting As in a BSN completion program, then...

  12. How "good" of an ICU nurse does one need to be?

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

    Imagine that taking a back seat and letting someone else take the lead in a code was not an option. You had to take the lead and there was no one to ask for help. How would that make you feel? If that...

  14. Wolford College lawsuit update 2014

    loveanesthesia replied to OhioRN10's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't think the people applying understand the ramifications of the lack of regional accreditation. First, as you state, no other university will recognize the degree-you don't have a degree....

  15. Can I go to postgraduate for CRNA with an RN and a bachelors in biomedical?

    loveanesthesia replied to fgomez32's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  16. Wolford College CRNA February 2016 entry

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

    I would be concerned about SACS accreditation in this program-this program has been working on it for several years. SACS is not program accreditation, but accreditation of the institution as a...

  17. Applying to a program due for accreditation

    loveanesthesia replied to Go-GetterRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wouldn't worry at all about reaccreditation, all programs go through the process. I wouldn't give that a second thought. Is there some reason you think the program isn't doing

  18. Dnap. Is crna worth it in the next years

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

    There will be CRNAs without a doctorate in practice for a long time-last year only 70 of approximately 2500 people who took the certification exam were graduates of doctoral programs. That number will...

  19. Best route to take to become a CRNA

    loveanesthesia replied to rosscross12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am always proud of being a nurse and a CRNA. Just because someone else may demean the nursing profession, that does not make me less proud. It is true some within healthcare, and some outside of...

  20. New machine to replace Anesthesiologists!?

    loveanesthesia replied to TBLV4's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    When dosing anesthetics, I'm always anticipating what's going to be happening in 5 minutes. When you start reacting to VS changes, then you are on the roller coaster going up and down. I consider the...

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

    Have you contacted your program? Also look at your subject scores to guide your studies. How close were you to passing? Also sounds like you had some anxiety which may be helped by biofeedback and/or...

    loveanesthesia replied to puppies'n kittens's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    'Retrospective studies don't prove anything!' Well I wouldn't go that far-I think we have determined that cigarette smoking is hazardous based on retrospective data. I don't discount that...

  23. CRNA nursing students who are over 40 and dismissed from their programs.

    loveanesthesia replied to Peggy F's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    'Hazing' can be described a lot of ways. I don't consider it hazing if a nurse in the OR has an impatient tone because the patient is taking a long time to wake up. In the students opinion it was...

    Most of my CRNA friends work a lot, and their schedule can prevent them from attending family events on occasion. Depends of what you call work/life
