Has anyone actually ever failed this thing all 8 times?!!!! I got a 445 last time trying to work a full time night ICU position and study at clips. I am usually a good test taker and did well didactically in school. I am trying not to lose faith, also I have heard of GRNA's doing anesthesia when they have failed even more than once. Any truth to this and are there jobs out there in desperate enough need of help to hire a guy who is in my position? I can definitely handle the job, I am chomping at the bit to "pass gas". I take the exam again in two weeks and I am confident the third time will be the charm. There are many folks who frequent this board that will recognize my sign-in name. Throw me a life line!

I know this is an old post, but I myself have now failed the CRNA boards twice (got a 445 last time, ouch!). Never thought it would happen in a million years. The word is you get eight attempts in 2 years and if are not successful you must re-complete an accredited anesthesia program start to finish. I truly wish this were not the case. However, if you graduated more than 2 years ago I believe you are "grandfathered" into the old rule of unlimited attempts.
