  1. Pre-CRNA course offered at BARRY

    loveanesthesia replied to tachymurse123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Take that $3150.00 and put it away for when you graduate. Credentialing and getting to work can take 2-4 months. That will be a lot of money

  2. Finally Accepted!!! Need Advice.

    loveanesthesia replied to Future1Intub8er1995's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    How would you like to work with someone who has a goal of being better than you? You should try to be the best CRNA possible and make the people around you better. That's the person everyone wants to...

    Contact programs you are interested in. Some will calculate a science GPA for undergraduate science prerequisites. Retaking the undergrad courses for those programs could

  4. Do you use the title "Dr."?

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

    I am quite serious. Yes, admission is competitive for most Med schools and the USMLEs are tough. But that doesn't reflect the educational system. Often Med students don't attend class and study on...

  6. Do you use the title "Dr."?

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

    I would beg to differ that physician education is far superior. If you're a good multiple choice test taker that'll get you through Med School. Once someone becomes a resident there is little quality...

  7. Do you use the title "Dr."?

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

    But the fact that you feel I want to be called Dr because I really wish I was a physician says more about you than me. If you didn't think a physician has more status and is better than a nurse, then...

    To me it's not a question of deserving, but of

  9. Do you use the title "Dr."?

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

    What bothers me about using Dr is that I worry that it creates the impression that I really wish I was a physician. I am incredibly proud of the care I give and want everyone to be clear that I'm a...

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

    Propose that CRNAs work independent, phase out AAs and with them the ACT. Agree to no OT and a bonus system based on group production. The MDs can maintain and increase their income depending on how...

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

    SACS is one of the Regional accreditors. Regional accreditation is the gold standard and trumps national accreditation. A huge step forward for future graduates of the program as their degree will be...

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

    Ask them how many graduates have never passed the certification exam. If you don't pass the certification exam you'll never be a CRNA. You can only take the exam 4 times/year and for 2 years after...

  17. Journey to CRNA

    loveanesthesia replied to ARODtheCRNA2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    [quote=ARODtheCRNA2b;9946322 So you think It would be smart to go straight for DNP? Do I go about that after the BSN? Yes, most enter the DN(A)P program with a BSN-that's what they are designed for....

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

    This is all a bunch of nonsense by people who don't know much about the nurse anesthesia profession. It's an effort to create the illusion that CRNAs are not highly skilled anesthesia

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

    I am not concerned about competition with AAs, I'm concerned that they are a tool of the ASA to diminish the CRNA role. CRNAs are limited to an AA role typically in practices with both CRNAs and AAs....

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

    In another post you speak about being treated like a halfwit in an ACT. In that setting AAs function the same as the CRNAs. It's a fact that a CRNA can replace a MD, and an AA never

    I and the CRNAs in my group refused to sign a blanket 'can't work within 50 miles' noncompete. We did sign one which stated we couldn't work anywhere where the company was giving anesthesia. That...
