  1. Questions about NP/CRNA route

    loveanesthesia replied to tidealum10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All nurse anesthesia programs are either master's or doctoral. You must have a bachelor's degree to be accepted, but for some it does not need to be a BSN. For example if you have a BS in chemistry,...

  2. CRNA Jobs?

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

    NPs are not yet required, the AACN put out a position statement stating it should happen. There has been no follow through for NPs. Nurse anesthesia programs are required to convert by 2022, so all...

  3. Management of Unanticipated Difficult Intubation

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

  4. CRNA question....

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

    The door isn't shut on a nurse anesthesia program for you. Look at a few things: 1. Did you 'just get by' in your sciences such as chmesitry, A&P? if so then repeat those courses. Taking a grad...

  5. How come there are no CRNA schools in Indiana?

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

    If there is an anesthesia residency already where will the nurse anesthesia students get their clinical experience? Access to cases can be challenging for a nurse anesthesia program if a residency...

  6. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    loveanesthesia replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have had an unsupervised nurse anesthetist do my anesthetic 3 times, both my sons anesthetics, and my

  7. Can I be a CRNA with Malignant Hyperthermia?

    loveanesthesia replied to guest_57352's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There is some potential to exposure to inhalation agents, so it could be risky it seems to me. I guess you can be very diligent and avoid doing cases like peds that require mask inductions. In your...

  8. CRNA Jobs?

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

    Grades won't affect your RN job prospects much one way or the other, but grades are pretty important getting into an anesthesia

  9. CRNA with Masters

    loveanesthesia replied to *Kelli*'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The Columbia post master's certificate is 24 months in length, it is 34 credit hours and the anesthesia clinical residency which takes up most of the time. You can find the information in the handbook...

  10. Question about desaturation during induction

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

    Was she using uncuffed ETs? if it had a big leak and the babies lungs are stiff she might not have been able to generate enough title volume to adequately ventilate. Sounds like the anesthesiologist...

  11. CRNA or PharmD???

    loveanesthesia replied to mambutz7hart's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nursing education BS? nurses take care of patients-which is what you do in anesthesia. Days are numbered for AAs because they can only practice in the least cost effective practice...

  12. Question about desaturation during induction

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

    A baby that size desats quick, so the baby could just desat due to a brief period of apnea but if it was down for 45 seconds that is quite a while. She could have missed the tube, mainstemed, or...

  13. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    loveanesthesia replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That may be true where you work, but many CRNAs work without supervision. I work for anesthesiologists, but I always do my own cases, often without an anesthesiologist in the building. It is the way...

  14. CRNA with Masters

    loveanesthesia replied to *Kelli*'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You will need to complete an anesthesia program either way. With a MSN you may be able to transfer in a couple classes to a few anesthesia programs, but many anesthesia programs don't allow any...

  15. EASY ADMISSION CRNA PROGRAMS not ICU advice!

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

    Hopefully you will be successful in a program, but you are dead wrong in thinking getting into a program is the hard part. Finishing a program is the hard part, and unfortunately some people don't and...

  16. CRNA exam fail rate control

    loveanesthesia replied to Sleepy 7's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It's hard to take your question seriously. It would be more productive for you to spend your energy trying to determine what you need to study in order to pass. The computer exam system is the same...

  17. FNP to CRNA

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

    But you are not going to a PA program. Clinicals give you the basis to begin practice as a novice nurse, you will learn more during the first 2 years of full time practice as an RN as you did in your...

  18. FNP to CRNA

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

    This is not a good idea, an ADN nurse with no nursing experience, or a BSN nurse with no nursing experience for that matter. What are they

  19. Utah surgeons against AA's

    loveanesthesia replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    " i would first and foremost wish to make my position clear in stating that i believe the best/most qualified/competent/skilled...etc... anesthesia provider would be that of an anesthesiologist." i...

  20. Utah surgeons against AA's

    loveanesthesia replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am surprised to hear you are an RN in a Level 1 trauma center, several of the things you say don't reflect that

  21. CRNA school hopeful!

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

  23. CRNA Master's or Doctorates?

    loveanesthesia replied to Meganlg17's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  24. Utah surgeons against AA's

    loveanesthesia replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sure I think you could say that. Surgeon's trained nurses primarily because they didn't want their patients to die during surgery. It was hard enough to convince patients to consent to surgery. Not...

  25. Tried but failed...

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

    In my experience, taking grad classes like assessment aren't going to help. With that GPA you need to have A's in anatomy, physiology, and chemistry. Most importantly taking those classes will help...
