1. UT Memphis anyone?

   Kason replied to TeenyBabyRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   Jill (UT Memphis's director) was my director in Virginia when I first started. She is very well organized and knows her stuff. I'm sure Memphis's program will improve due to her new arrival. Good...

   Kason posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   I'm having a hard time figuring out why we shouldn't reverse a patient if we get 0 out of four twitches. I understand that if we do give a reversal in that situation, they can recurarize later, but...

4. Rural Jobs

   Kason posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   I'm in my second semester and I most likely will want to practice in a rural setting when I finish school in 22 months (seems so far away). For those of you that currently work in a rural setting,...

5. Should Anesthesia Be an only MD Profession

   Kason replied to Oldsalt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   School is what you make out of it! I agree with oldsalt, I feel that what you put in to it, is what you get out of it. As for MDAs visiting this chat site, I appreciate the MDAs (like Tenesma) that...

6. ODU & VCU

   Kason replied to dkbmcclellan's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   I had 1 1/2 years of ICU experience. Spend some time studying for the GRE, as long as you get above 1500 you should be fine. Tey didn't drill me with questions. I sat at a table with 3 other...

13. ASN -> CRNA? NP? MD?

    Kason replied to babymeena's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    First of all, congrats on achieving you ADN! Asking a CRNA discussion board about what field is better, don't be surprised if we a little biased. CRNA schools cost anywhere from 25,000 to 75,000...

14. Risks and Benefits and Consent for Anesthesia

    Kason replied to nilepoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yeah, it's unbelievable. What freaks me out is that we are reliable for the mistakes the surgeon makes, because we allowed the surgeon to perform a procedure outside of the consent. It's all about...
