  1. New recert cycle

    PaSSiNGaS replied to offlabel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You can just have your class A credits roll over to class B once you meet the class A requirements. The problem I have with this whole idiotic plan is them basically just saying pay this money......

  2. Ask a CRNA anything...

    PaSSiNGaS replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    Not sure what kind of source you want me to post where I get my info. You can easily find this stuff by looking on the program's website. Many schools do still require just 1 year but mention 2 yrs...

  3. Defasciculating dose before Succs?

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Bluebolt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am someone who mostly uses Succs for all my cases, but I do avoid non depolarizes all together for most cases as

  4. Best critical care book

    PaSSiNGaS replied to abidingpanda's topic in MICU, SICU

    I agree the way I came off wasn't the best. I do stand by my statement on the importance of physiology. Many RNs struggle with the

  5. Best critical care book

    PaSSiNGaS replied to abidingpanda's topic in MICU, SICU

    I have yet to find a SINGLE ICU nurse that can explain or answer many simple questions in regards to normal human physiology. I recommend getting a good physiology book and really reading it. Not...

  6. 2.9 GPA Help me get into CRNA school

    PaSSiNGaS replied to futurecrnasla's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Grad level courses and apply in 2-3 years after more

  7. Who interviewed for CRNA and did NOT get in?

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Hank82's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's easier for me to say this, but don't get frustrated. There are more and more people trying to get into CRNA school each year and competition will continue to increase. Just find out what you...

  8. First code blue, hard not to blame myself.

    PaSSiNGaS replied to 1793stopper's topic in Critical Care

    Curious what was the final read on the chest

  9. As a CRNA, Can You Still Pick Up RN Shifts?

    PaSSiNGaS replied to PMHNP2023's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Univ of Maryland Shock Trauma has CRNAs that are apart of a GO TEAM that flies to bad accidents in the Baltimore area. I'm sure there may be other groups that use CRNAs to fly but this is for sure...

  10. BSN or RN

    PaSSiNGaS replied to mdavis2018's topic in General Students

    Many hospitals (mine included) are requiring current RNs to get their BSN and new hires are required to sign a contract saying they will get their BSN within 2-3 years or risk being fired. I would...

  11. Sedation Titration

    PaSSiNGaS replied to arblackburn90's topic in Critical Care

    I commend you for making this post. I see many people who precept students or new grads and actually hate teaching but still precept. You are actually trying to find ways to help this person to make...

  12. GPA for CRNA

    PaSSiNGaS replied to CICURNCHI's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It is still possible you will get in. My GPA was a 3.1 overall but higher for science grades. I had about 4 years ICU experience and got interviews at more than a few places. So it is very possible...

  13. endoscopy anesthesia job?

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Anesthesia16's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm not sure if this is a joke or what. You are very far off with your analogy... not to mention your horrible english

  14. endoscopy anesthesia job?

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Anesthesia16's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just having an arbitrary number like 30-40k because of 1099 shows you really need to speak with a CPA or another CRNA who has actual experience using a S corp or LLC and all the tax advantages you...

  15. endoscopy anesthesia job?

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Anesthesia16's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Never said it was low but it isnt close to being high. CRNA only practices or locums you can easily make around

  16. endoscopy anesthesia job?

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Anesthesia16's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There are plenty of jobs on gasworks in those areas that pay higher with no OT. You will for sure limit your ability to get a job if you go straight to endo after school. You might have numbers to...

  17. endoscopy anesthesia job?

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Anesthesia16's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sorry, but 180k is no where close to a high paying job for endo in that area. You can find much much higher paying places if you're looking to do just endo. I will say if you graduate and start...

  18. Do SRNA/CRNAs have to participate in elective abortions and sterilizations?

    PaSSiNGaS replied to udmgraduate's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There are times that you may be in a room that has a D&C for early termination. If it is something you are not comfortable doing just tell your CRNA or MDA you're with that day and they can...

  19. Finally Accepted!!! Need Advice.

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Future1Intub8er1995's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Haha the ASA and AMA would love to get you as a spokesperson for them I'm sure. I'm not even going to bother explaining how your opinion is utterly ridiculous in terms of liability. Good luck in your...

  20. Finally Accepted!!! Need Advice.

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Future1Intub8er1995's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sorry but this post just shows the ignorance of many people. CRNAs can and do practice independently of MDAs all over the country so not sure where you're getting your information but you are greatly...

  21. Pre-CRNA course offered at BARRY

    PaSSiNGaS replied to tachymurse123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You already got into school, why take more classes??? You will learn everything you need to know in school. I suggest just relaxing before starting and if anything just get a good physiology book...

  22. Pre-CRNA course offered at BARRY

    PaSSiNGaS replied to tachymurse123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't know much about this course but that price is a complete joke for an "Intro" course into basic sciences. If you're worried about your GPA or to boost your current application I would...

  23. Adventist University CRNA 2018 Start

    PaSSiNGaS replied to Levo-neo-vaso's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yea I wouldn't advise working, but I do know the students in this program have a lax schedule when they're in the OR. When they have clinical rotations they are out by 3pm compared to many schools...

  24. Ask a CRNA anything...

    PaSSiNGaS replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    Yes I was able to start directly into an ICU straight from my BSN and it is still possible today. Honestly I tell everyone don't listen to the many RNs who say you must start in med surg and do a...

  25. Ask a CRNA anything...

    PaSSiNGaS replied to PaSSiNGaS's topic in Critical Care

    1. Schools are very different. You want a school that will give you the best chance to come out and be ready to practice independently. Ask if students are actually performing peripheral nerve...
