  1. CRNA's doing botox in California (no MD supervision)???

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

    Aesthetic does not equal anesthetic. Now that's

  2. Chiropractor to CRNA advice

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

    Best of all would be to get an aid or secretarial position in an ICU as most departments do their own hiring. An aid position would provide much more experience that would help in nursing school. It...

  3. A BSN or just a Bachelor of Nursing degree for becoming a CRNA?

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

    The program you are applying to is almost certainly a BSN. I don't think there is such a thing as a Bachelor's of Arts in

  4. Tuition Assistance while in CRNA school

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

    I suspect opportunities are highly specific to location. I just started cold calling hospitals and groups in my area to inquire. Through networks, you may find outstanding offers as well. But...

  5. Anesthesia Provider Pay to Drop 60%

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

    Sounds like they're hoping some will make a career out of it. Perhaps debt collecting/medical billing companies would like that line of work. I was imagining more on the line of whistle blower laws...

  6. Perspective SRNA on down the road. Advice?

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

    For nursing training, I don't think there is that big a difference from ADN to BSN. But as you are already contemplating a master degree, you will be better served with the BSN. You would need a BSN...

  7. Anesthesia Provider Pay to Drop 60%

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

    Hi Love, is that something new with the reporting of medicare fraud. I wonder about the particulars. Can it be done anonymously and can one be assured that anonymity will be protected. I also...

  8. Anyone attended previous Nurse anesthesia school and withdrawn

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

    Hey gm, that does blow. With 20+ years of nursing, you must have been at the top of your game and I can see how school would really suck in comparison. Wish I had some helpful advice, but the only...

  9. CRNA Part Time Opportunities

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

    "Officer, I don't speed all the time, just when I've been drinking" Just pointing out

  10. question

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

    The easiest way is at your place of employment provided they use CRNA's. If you know anyone in the OR, they can probably hook you up. If you don't have any connection, it will be much harder. I...

  11. 3.35 GPA good enough?

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

    If you do very well on the GRE (I'm not really sure, but think that means > 1200), that can make up a lot for a lack luster GPA. Either way, I think you can get in if you round out your...

  12. question

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

    Not technically, but virtually all schools want to hear that you've shadowed because they want to know that you know what you're getting into. You should want that too. I think I was asked at each...

  13. Does it matter if your LPN school was not regionally accredited?

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

    Just that people often don't appreciate the potential consequences of withholding information on any application really. Wasn't implying anything personal If no one replies, the answer might be to...

  14. Does it matter if your LPN school was not regionally accredited?

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

    You will have to submit transcripts from every post secondary school you attended. Withholding transcripts would constitute fraud and if discovered would be grounds for immediate

  15. Chiropractor to CRNA advice

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

    I would only move to an area if you've already done all your research and know for sure what your first choice of schools is and it is not an extremely competitive school. I don't think any of the...

  16. St Elizabeth anesthesia interview for 2010

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

    So 25 people get a cheap ride on the backs of 275 who are misguided and given false hope. Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. Is that why it's off shore? Would they allow it in the

  17. UCLA undergrad- Want to go CRNA route-please help

    Class2011 replied to bmxbobby2004's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    PS. Don't ignore your grades or short them with too many extracurriculars. Having good grades is the surest way to get invited for an

  18. St Elizabeth anesthesia interview for 2010

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

    That is an abysmal attrition rate. How do they justify that? It's just cruel to admit people that you have no expectation of graduating. I'd be leery about subjecting myself to such a program. I...

  19. UCLA undergrad- Want to go CRNA route-please help

    Class2011 replied to bmxbobby2004's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Absolutely. If those are the things you enjoy, they are all positives. And for now, just keep in touch with the nursing program at UCLA to make sure you're maximizing your chances

  20. Pitt Interviews- who is interviewing in March and

    Class2011 replied to jrv100's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    In general, if the program is within a school of nursing, you need a BSN. But if the program is within another school then a BS plus an RN license will suffice. A BA can even work as long as you've...

  21. Chiropractor to CRNA advice

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

    Based on the above, I think your wife has a good to excellent chance of getting accepted on her first attempt. Especially in the northeast where there are a fair number of programs. At least that...

  22. Getting too far ahead of myself?

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

    The GRE people will only send official score reports for tests taken within five years. After that, you would have to take the test again or submit an official copy of your own. I don't see any need...

  23. How would you've prepared differently for school now that you're a SRNA?

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

    I would have studied for and taken the CCRN exam sooner. If I remember, you have to had at least a year's experience to sit for it. I put it off longer, but once I took it, I continued to learn more...

  24. UCLA undergrad- Want to go CRNA route-please help

    Class2011 replied to bmxbobby2004's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Things change. Who knows what it will be like when you graduate? But in the northeast it is now harder to get accepted to an accelerated BS to RN program. I know people with BS degree's in...

  25. Asking for Recommendation from RN Supervisor after 1 yr. on unit?

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

    If it's a required reference, you have no choice but to ask her. But "supervisor" can be interpreted differently. I had my supervisor's assistant write for me because I felt she knew me and my...
