  1. What got you into school?

    medic7577 replied to RNextraordinare's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No worries Mike...I hope I didn't come across as defensive my post, just being humble and giving credit where credit is due. You are right though, I wouldn't take anything for my military and...

  2. What got you into school?

    medic7577 replied to RNextraordinare's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have been fortunate in my career to be in the right place at the right times with the right people there to guide, teach, reprimand, put their foot in my ass, and mentor me along the way. And, I am...

  3. Steps to become a CRNA?

    medic7577 replied to captain byakuya's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Use the search function and google for some other nurse anesthesia websites. There is lots of info out there. You have to do your due diligence and research it. It will take time; everyone's...

  4. Nurse anesthesia school-bound. Advice, wisdom, suggestions needed.

    medic7577 replied to genmac's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Heed the advice you received from the anesthesia programs - especially if that is where you plan to apply (which I assumed). I actually have thought that PACU experience was something I would have...

  5. Butchered at work over wanting to be a CRNA?

    medic7577 replied to MoLee228's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I guess I was lucky too. The ICU I worked in...everybody supported me (even the manager). There were 3 of us looking to anesthesia school (unfortunately I was the only one that got accepted) and 3...

  6. CRNA Threat

    medic7577 replied to samirish's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have been informed not to place links in my posts. Kinda wondering how all these other folks seem be able to do it.

  7. CRNA Threat

    medic7577 replied to samirish's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    They do have the autonomy - it's called independent practice, and no, the surgeon is not liable for the CRNAs actions...the CRNA is. There are plenty of places in America where CRNAs are practicing...

  8. samford program

    medic7577 replied to RN1980's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well, I was just trying to help 1980 out by putting them in touch with someone that I know for sure is in that program since he/she had not gotten a response as of yet. 1980, the link in my above...

  9. What got you into school?

    medic7577 replied to RNextraordinare's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just re-read your post and realized that you have already applied and interviewed. Missed that last night in my haste...sorry. You should be able to find a program that will accept your...

  10. samford program

    medic7577 replied to RN1980's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you check out http://www.nurse-anesthesia.org, you'll should be able to make some contacts and find out more info. I do know that there is at least one student there. Sounds like an excellent...

  11. What got you into school?

    medic7577 replied to RNextraordinare's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey Jacob, I come from just about the same background as yourself...13 years EMS: 10 flight (last 5 as RN/EMT-P). I started out as a medic in '98 and just progressed up thru flight and RN. It is...

  12. GRE Help

    medic7577 replied to TJFRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I used that website also (number2.com). Also used GRE for Dummies, Complete Idiot's Guide to the GRE, and a Kaplan review book. As mentioned before, focus on your weakest area. You can make larger...

  13. Rural vs. Large for 1st CRNA job

    medic7577 replied to LSLG's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That will all depend on you as a person and clinician, as well as your school and how well it prepares you. Also, it will depend on the makeup of the practice you enter (whether or not there is...

  14. disorderly conduct get me kicked out of school?

    medic7577 replied to kage_20's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ummm...you circle yes. They are going to do a pretty good background check on you anyway, so they will most likely find out. The point is, there is no reason to lie. You have already been accepted,...

  16. UAB Fall 2010

    medic7577 replied to bucknangler's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Should also add that I have been accepted to UT Memphis starting in June of next year. It is a 3 year DNP program (their 1st). Now trying to decide if I should even interview at UAB???? Any...

  18. UAB Fall 2010

    medic7577 replied to bucknangler's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was told by a friend of mine in the program that invites for interviews would go out in November, and interviews would be held in January. I am not sure if this is dependent upon which clinical...

  19. Organic Chem vs CCRN

    medic7577 replied to Tornadochaser's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why not do both? (if you have the time). That's what I did, anyway. I think the CCRN tells them you that you may have a certain level of knowledge, but it does tell them that you can take a...

  20. CNRA programs and long-distance clinicals??

    medic7577 replied to hallcrest's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh yeah, rambled a little off topic in previous post. Many schools offer local clinical rotations, you just have to research the different programs.

  21. CNRA programs and long-distance clinicals??

    medic7577 replied to hallcrest's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your best approach would probably be to find some specific schools that you are interested in and contact them with these questions. Every school I spoke with was more than willing to help out and...
