  1. Paramedic/RN, CRNA candidate

    Class2011 replied to Lissa160's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's not about being superior or inferior, they're different. They will look upon your paramedic work favorably. But it is no substitute for the ICU which gives you experience . This is also why...

  2. How much does the size of ICU matter?

    Class2011 replied to RN543's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's not so much the size of the ICU, but the acuity of the patients. My experience was from a small ICU, but at a level 1 trauma facility with a wide variety of sick patients including surgical,...

  3. Socialized Medicine

    Class2011 replied to PlainsBuffalo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And yet you choose to argue with someone who posted nearly 4 yrs ago? Not sure why I bother, but the current income tax rate in The Netherlands is closer to 3% for the lowest bracket and 50% for the...

  4. MSN for a low BSN GPA? (pre-CRNA)

    Class2011 replied to IDoNotGiveOut's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sounds like a bit of overkill with the MSN, but maybe not for the DNP program that interests you. Retaking and acing sciences courses is a must. The volunteer work is definitely a plus; not...

  5. Questions about BSN requirement for Nurse Anesthesia Programs

    Class2011 replied to mylovemyway's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Nice post Nicki. Most people who end up having 2nd thoughts never bother to post why. Thank you. All schools require a Bachelor's degree and a valid nursing license. Most schools prefer a BS...

  6. Tuition Assistance while in CRNA school

    Class2011 replied to jenrn2008's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    30,000 for a 5 yr commitment sounds awful and not nearly worth signing on before you even know kind of job you are going to want. I'm not against sign-on agreements, but make sure it is worth the...

  7. Help with admissions

    Class2011 replied to NurseBot21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'd suggest you first get your CCRN. It will help you clinically and prepare you for interviews. Then try a two pronged approach of applying and simultaneously taking some classes. Put it in your...

  8. Union University CRNA Interview

    Class2011 replied to JDtheRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All this exciting news in one day! Make your own best luck

  9. Lessons learned from a fatal medication error:-- reflections for CRNA epidural order

    Class2011 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have plenty of sympathy to go around, but it's neither here nor there. I'm more interested in learning how to prevent and avoid errors. Targeting an individual like this just let's all us other...

  10. Nurse manager less than supportive

    Class2011 replied to whip65's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would be careful about bringing it up with the program director. Since the CRNA program is in house, s/he may already know the NM and the kind of references she writes. But do not in any way give...

  11. Pre-requisite classes inguiry

    Class2011 replied to Riversurfer's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The prerequisites vary and you will need to narrow down your search to determine what courses are needed They won't require graduate level anything, but some students take a few graduate level courses...

  12. Lessons learned from a fatal medication error:-- reflections for CRNA epidural order

    Class2011 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why are nurses the quickest of all to hang their colleagues out to dry? Do people really think she deserved Criminal Prosecution? Read up on Root Cause Analysis and you will almost always find a...

  13. Will CRNA acceptance committees laugh at my geography degree?

    Class2011 replied to eternalUSUstudent's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You seem to be contradicting yourself Gerlich. Either way, you do not need a BSN for most CRNA programs. The exceptions are programs that are housed in nursing departments and award nursing degrees,...

  14. Lessons learned from a fatal medication error:-- reflections for CRNA epidural order

    Class2011 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Interesting article! Shame that after all that investigation and discovery, they still had a need to punish the nurse. It would've been much better to keep the nurse in the system and encourage...

  15. Will CRNA acceptance committees laugh at my geography degree?

    Class2011 replied to eternalUSUstudent's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Will the committee laugh ... I don't know, will you? Perhaps you know something we don't. Take it seriously, and I bet they will too. They will want to hear your explanation for switching to...

  16. 1st CRNA position

    Class2011 replied to SRNADaisy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Unfortunately, talking to current students didn't work for me. In retrospect, I think they did not speak plainly for fear of it getting back to their program directors. The best are recent graduates...

  17. Anesthesia Boards

    Class2011 replied to Cyclic AMP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    7% is a Big drop! I hope Valley is in the process of updating they're

  18. Is biochem III more of a "resume stuffer" for crna school?

    Class2011 replied to sixthwannabe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Many (not all) programs require organic chemistry and/or biochemistry. With all your other chemistry classes, you will probably satisfy the requirement. BUT be aware that the program will assume...

  19. 1st CRNA position

    Class2011 replied to SRNADaisy's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    "Should" being the operative word. I wonder just how independent one can become when the training is all under ACT. Or when you're competing with residents for experiences. Satisfying the minimum...

  20. 2015 is it official? YES

    Class2011 replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    US News and World Report The New Doctors in the House By Bernadine Healy, M.D. Posted April 15, 2010 Nightingales are soaring. Gone are the days when medical etiquette had nurses standing at...

  21. Computers

    Class2011 replied to questionsforall's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Whether you get a mac or pc is a personal choice (that will also reflect your wallet size. The mac's are nice, but rediculously over priced.) Either way, you will certainly need up to date computing...

  22. The Best Route to a CRNA

    Class2011 replied to jwconn1104's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh, well this is absolutely the quickest route

  23. 2015 is it official? YES

    Class2011 replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  25. The Best Route to a CRNA

    Class2011 replied to jwconn1104's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not to be glib, but the best route for you to take is where your heart leads. You say you know all the requirements, so what's your
