   I graduated from MSU's program a few years back, but I cannot shed light on the DNP program as it is pretty fresh still. What were you looking to find

   CRNA Scope

   Grizzly20 replied to Gkb1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   They absolutely work in pain clinics. I have dabbled myself working alongside an MDA. Most of the time however, we are not necessarily doing the injections ourselves. We are usually doing the sedation...

   CRNA Scope

   Grizzly20 replied to Gkb1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Yes, do yourself a favor and just shadow. You'll be able to find what suits your interests this way. We CRNAs do not prescribe meds. We have no need to do that at all. We optimize patients in a...

   CRNA

   Grizzly20 replied to sandbag33's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Yep, APEX! All of those other board preps and courses are going by the wayside. Apex is the most relevant and comprehensive board prep in today's market. Cheapest I believe as well. They also do a 20%...

   Lung Transplants

   Grizzly20 replied to Future1Intub8er1995's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I would never discourage someone from wanting to learn our profession....EVER. That would be asinine. However, if I were to tell him to go and read anesthesia books in relation to lung surgery, I'm...

   Lung Transplants

   Grizzly20 replied to Future1Intub8er1995's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I can appreciate your willingness to learn anesthesia for lung surgery but......don't.....it's going to be over your head. In the meantime, know your ICU patho and meds inside and out. That's the best...

   Chances for CRNA

   Grizzly20 replied to icurn32's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   You should have no trouble solidifying interviews. You have much going for you to overshadow those

   CTICU or Trauma/SICU

   Grizzly20 replied to Wenliu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Honestly, A OR B are just fine. I worked trauma/SICU and saw it all. Liver transplants will have you running and using your mind a hell of a lot more than a stable heart valve. I also felt as though I...

   SRNA Resources (especially for meds)

   Grizzly20 replied to BlueChocolateCat's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   My classmates and I use these flashcards Flashcards4Anesthesia. We got them as a class and when you buy them in bulk, you receive a fairly nice discount. You may just want to wait. There are some...

    88% in A&P 1

    Grizzly20 replied to pinkrain94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    TiffanyRN is being a little ridiculous. You got an 88% which is probably better than 80% of the people in this entire forum. Well

    Marajuana Misdemeanor

    Grizzly20 replied to uds16's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I got a DUI (misdemeanor) a few months before my program started. I called the program director to let them know about it and they said it wasn't going to be an issue. Before sitting for my NCLEX and...

    My journey to become a SRNA.

    Grizzly20 replied to lady_stic's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That's awesome to hear:) Great story! However, I know that around here you wouldn't even get an interview with sub-par grades especially in sciences and CCRN is already a requirement so it's not...

    Future MICU RN

    Grizzly20 replied to Brad2019RN2b's topic in MICU, SICU

    Shadow a MICU nurse for the day and you'll see if it's for you. People can tell you about their experiences until they're blue in the face but you will never know if it's something that you want to do...

    2nd Degree BSN

    Grizzly20 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just responding to the original post that's all. But yes, there are a few schools who require a 3.0 in a first degree and then determine the rest of your resume. I thankfully never ran into that...
