  1. I agree, like I stated before, my #1 goal is that my kids don't even realize what we are going through... T-ball, vegetables and protein, clean underwear are all priorities. We are paying for...
  2. Big D---- is this on top of normal school loans? How much all together? Are signed on with someone after school? Just wondering..
  3. Thanks all for the reply...I now realize that spelling "loose" instead of "lose" in my title should of clued me in to just how tired I was last night. I am the biggest proponent of scaling down kids...
  4. CRNA Headhunters/Recruiters

    Have to agree with JWK on this one. You are including a middleman for no reason. We are in such short supply that most groups are happy to have you sitting down talking with them. The group I am with...
  5. What to do...WHAT TO DO?!?! Please help!!!

    caseyrb... this is a little late, I know, but thought I might help. I am a BGSU grad with my BSN and went about it the long way. 2 years at BG, applied to MCO, did not get in. Back then ( in 1993) you...
  6. 1 year ICU experience

    Well, not really. Alot of the basics are counter intuitive. Until you get hands on experience, not much else matters. The first time you try to mask a patient you'll see what I mean. Understanding how...
  7. 1 year ICU experience

    IMO the ICU does very little to prepare you for CRNA. There are aspects that are very important, ie fluid management, lines, vasoactives, etc. Depending on the type of ICU you land in these...
  8. For whom is the biggest factor money? You seem to have given yourself the ability to assess motive that addresses thousands of professionals. As for your dating/salary scenario, I am still not clear...
  9. Not sure where you're going with this
  10. The portion of this forum about CRNA's and salaries is possibly one of the lamest things I've read this far. First off, I would stay in anesthesia for less than I was making as an RN. I love it. I...
  11. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    A couple points here; I have gone through pretty much the most rigorous AP, pharm etc that a master's level nursing program can offer. I am friends with alot of MD's, residents and med students. I can...
  12. I bet a vast majority would do it for plain old RN salary. So would you complain if AA's were paid what CRNA's get? Maybe that can be your new platform. We do it for less because we love it
  13. Wait a minute here! I know alot of MDA's and CRNA's and there is no boundary by profession when it comes to motivation (money v. care). I know cold CRNA's and very caring docs. I think we are getting...

  16. Let's get a couple definitions set here... Supervision implies a legal relationship. There is no implication that the physician will ever touch or see the patient. The CRNA may be the only anesthesia...
  17. You seem very articulate and your interest is peaked in the right direction. You are correct, this is the most amazing job you can do. Get your BSN first. I got my AD first and ended up doing plenty...
  18. No, it's about control. Everyone wants to control their own destiny. Money can be a by-product of
  19. I wouldn't worry about it. Worst case scenario is a
  20. As yogaCRNA said, there are alot of variables that may have played a part. Typically versed doesn't knock the doo doo out of people like that, but it can. I would ask my anesthesia provider about his...
  21. Most commonly used sedatives today loose their effect within minutes to hours. Some have residual effects. Sodium thiopental can leave you drunk for a couple days. Some benzos also have a pretty long...
  22. Loans, government and or private are the basic mode. You will then find after you have been admitted that you have achieved a new level of popularity. Everyone suddenly becomes interested in your...
