Great insight wntrmute! I'm going to print this one out! I was just alluding to the fact nurses have been practicing anesthesia longer, started the first schools for anesthesia etc.

Have you read up on your history of anesthesia? I would think if you are a nurse, you'd be able to answer this question yourself....so in agreement with the last poster- who/ what are you?

Yes! Mind of pit bull- me fight! Thanks all and congrats again!!! As for the insurace etc thing- California regards that as one of the many requirements of a nurse- being a good example= we should promote healthy behaviors.

Congrats to you all! Since I just went to another counseling session, I was told that there were 6 held over and 29 spots and roughly the same will happen for next year. Speaking of next year..... At the session I didn't get much info except I was ...

I am waiting to see if I get an interview to Kaiser's CSUF program and am thinking I'm not getting in. I was told that more letters were to be sent out- but by this time are they rejection letters? What is the average years of experience for acce...

I had moved to pasadena a couple of months ago and have been trying to shaddow a crna down here. When I've called the different hospitals, I've been getting a very rude- "oh, WE don't use them HERE". I don't know if this is an ignorance thing, more ...

Ok, here we go again. My last post got sent into who knows where. There is some background to the press you see on the aana website. An article was done by Abenstein and Warner in the journal Anesthesia and Analgesia in June 1996 titled "Anesthesia...

thanks gasspassah. Anyone else have any comments regarding their number of applicants and what your school's acceptance pool allows?

The only problem, Roland, is you may never get to "explain" anything. You'll have the ACNP/ MSN already in your apps and they may just skip over you because they don't have a post-masters program/ abilities. As I have posted in many of your threads,...

Chok full of information! I now see where the chem/ o-chem review will be usefull, but other than oxidative etc rxns- can anybody else give me a short list of things to review. I don't feel like re-reading the whole book! :balloons:

Good to know! I felt I had really good letters of reference, but I'm sure an added freeform page is much better. Did you also have a CCRN etc?

Of those of you who were granted an interview- what are your stats. I'm going this thursday to find out why I wasn't asked for an interview and would like to know what I need to be on top of the general public as well as what they want. Quickly, I ha...

MollyS, also check out the thread, the future of CRNA's

"are schools meeting demands of the future?" i've got to wonder the same thing. the csuf program had, as i understand from a reply to my woes of rejection, 400+ applicants for 35 positions (and 10 slots went to applicants held over from last year). ...

Ah Roland- You are awesome. Where did all this physics love origionate from? Are you currently a CRNA and if so, do you try to apply your knowledge to the field? I have no knowledge of your sort but did enjoy the "Elegant Universe" (string theory- ...

Not a CRNA yet, still aspiring..

The "keep your sanity" plan- I gotta get me one of those:roll

Nein, nur bei meinem Vorfatem. Ich habe freundinin im Deutchland und aus hatte ich deutch gelernt. Though I obviously can't remember it very well. My husband's last name is Berlin- which my german friends think is hillarious:p

Thanks so much! That is exactly what I am going to do. What kind of job opportunities are you looking into?

Well, I had thought Neuro was pretty hot myself seeing as you need to have competence balancing CV, pain, and sedation issues all against an altered mental status. I have to question everything, however, at this point including the need for more con...

I defer most of your question to those who were in your position, aka knew from the getgo what they wanted from the start of nursing school. I do, however, want to ask a couple of questions- do the schools you are looking at not require 1 year exper...

Qwiggley, Alas, I have just found out and did not get in:o . But, through the information I have gained on this board, I feel it was a favor to me. I have not done nearly enough financial planning and will benefit from more varied ICU experience (I...

Great to hear!

Good luck to you Mulzii. It is great that you are looking into this now. Don't be tricked by your program telling you that it is designed for those who want to specialize. I did that same thing at SFSU thinking I would go onto be a NP. It would ...

Other than the above mentioned, I unearthed a scholarship list that was handed out by CSUF- most are specialties in nursing, for undergrads or cultural/ ethnic groups. Other organizations I found that may apply to some posts I've read were: Assoc. of...
