    Why CRNA

    Kiwi replied to JoYang's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Here are some cons: 1) Health care is a 24/7 business, and surgery is certainly in that category. This means that all surgery/anesthesia departments have staff working or on call 24/7. You and your...

    Drug abuse and burnout?

    Kiwi replied to Salus's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I never knew that - this is an interesting thread. Is the drug abuse because of using drugs so often in practice, understanding how they work, etc? Please expand on

    Is socialized healthcare in our future?

    Kiwi replied to msummar_smc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would hesitate to comment positively on socialized health care. I've got relatives in New Zealand who talk against it. Not only is a big chunk of their pay taken out, but they've told me that a...

    Which path should I take? (preSRNA prep question)

    Kiwi replied to Carenica's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Definitely don't get an MSN if you want to be a CRNA. There are various reasons why. You will earn your MS or MSN as you complete Anesthesia school, which is the way the schools like to keep it. Since...
