Milk comes in bags in Canada. Train in the US.

I think that is smart. You very likely would have handled it fine. And it is getting harder and harder to kill people who are healthy. But the sick ones can be easy to kill. If you are solo, who is teaching you the tricks they learned the hard wa...

Hi, first question you should ask is if solo practice is for you. How many years have you been a CRNA? Frank

hi, schedule is sorta like this. One 8, 2 tens, a twelve. 3 times a month take call from home. 7p-7a during week x 2 per month. One 24 hour weekend call per month. all from home. Total 3 call shifts. Frank

Any CRNAs ever worked or know anything about USA? Thanks Frank

Tuition is around 32K. You stay one year and it is forgiven. Not prorated. Must stay 13 months. It is a good place to work. You get to do everything except when with a student. Still you will do plenty of RA and a ton of iv inductions by yourself....

Hi, I graduated from Bridgeport Hospital NAP/So Conn St Univ program in 2006. I is now Fairfield Univ./BHNAP or as I refer to it The F U Nurse anesthesia program. If you are looking at Conn. then definitely consider Bridgeport. I have never reg...

Neither one of these CRNAs belong in an OR. They belong in rehab. I don't care if it is alcohol or whatever. The fact that it is an ongoing pattern of abuse is concerning. Extacy is illegal. The anti-social personality disorder that both of these...

Soldiernurse. I think the Army and Navy have the best programs in the country. However, don't limit yourself. Have you considered the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences? They have a CRNA program. Also, you can attend my program wi...

I think Anesthesia Secrets by James Duke (new edition is now out) is superior to Nurse Anesthesia Secrets. NAS is not a bad book but if you are going to spend money, get the better book. In my opinion. Frank

I can field this one as Meg is busy as hell. I am a senior at BPT. The interview is low stress. You will interview with the director, asst. director, some MDs and CRNAs. You will be toured by a student and have great opportunities to ask question...

MAC for DLT, Nasal intubation. More room for Magills etc. Miller for anterior airway. I have used a Miller 4 on two occasions. You must use this blade to appreciate it. anyone who is good with airways will tell you that a miller 4 is sometimes jus...

We get plenty of RA experience here at Bridgeport. Mostly spinal and epidural but no shortage of bier blocks, femoral nerve blocks. The interscalenes can be a little hit or miss because here you are thrown into an OR early with only an attending. S...

I am not offended. I am just amused. I stand corrected. I assumed someone was a liberal democrat. I should of realized that in nursing it is just as likely a socialist/green party Naderite. Politics are fair game right? Frank

I agree with what you said. I myself have had a message censored when it almost revealed too much about the management of my program (nothing bad but just no need for others to know maybe). I can't help but notice that your tagline does not contri...

Here goes: Senior student at Bridgeport (GPA 3.6approx) Not very stellar, most of class is higher. Undergrad 3.5 Science a little higher, not much. MAT 55. 6years ICU(mostly SICU)5 years ER, 3 years nursing assistant, 2years bag boy in supermarket, 1...

Here at Bridgeport we get first shot at all airway and regional. There is one attending who does his own RA but the rest are cool. I ve been here 10 months, only 7 in clinical, and I have had probably 60 opportunities at SAB/EPidural. I have done ma...

Hello, everyone. I am new to the discussion. I have read the FAQ and it was very helpful. If anyone knows much about the program at UAB. I would appreciate any info. Especially maybe someone who has been there or is currently in their program. I ...

Thanks, I sure will tell Nate you said hello. PS what is your first name? It is tough. Chem is alot of volume in short amount of time. Same with Anatomy. Frank

started Bridgeport on the 24th. It is going to be strong!!! Frank

I want to clear one thing up. I did not work with anesthesia students at FIU. They had no such program when I worked there. They did not have the law program or even conceive of a med school ( I shudder to think). The students, in general, at FIU ...

Hi had applied at FIU. THey lost my application 3 times as well as my fee. I have no confidence in them. I withdrew my application. They called about 2 weeks after I was accepted somewhere else. They are not on the ball. I used to work at FIU an...

congratulations. Everything changes. there is nothing like a baby girl. I have my own 2 year old. PS I was accepted at Bridgeport. Your posts turned me on the program. I owe you big. Thanks Frank

Hi, everyone. I had the best Christmas present. I was accepted to my program. I don't know what to do next but am pretty excited! Frank

Thanks again, this is my first year to apply. I have been a nurse for 10 years and have been wanting to do anesthesia for 12!!! Got out of school and got married, kid etc. Now is first time I could really do it. When I was in college I took extra h...
