UCDSICURN

81 chapters? Really? Suggested readings? Mandatory readings? Certainly, there must be some focus. If you compare the different texts, many have much of the same information. Let me know....i'll help out where i can.

From Vanderbilt's Website...... Why would you need/want both? Donn C.

I have a Treo 680 (pda/cell combo) and absolutely love it. Plenty of memory for your programs and if you absolutely are worried about room you can add an SD card. I added a 1gig (If i can remember correctly) for pretty cheap, and to be honest, I didn...

I'm not sure if you're intentionally trying to be misleading or have just been misinformed but, for clarification, there are no laws that require a CRNA to be supervised by an anesthesiologist anywhere in the US, even for medicare reimbursement in th...

Except for the fact that AA's don't practice independently, anywhere.

80 applicants? Completely inaccurate...the admissions department forwards about 80 apps to the anesthesia program to hand pick about 45 people for interviews, accepting 20-25 each year. There are hundreds of apps each year. Directly from the admiss...

Don't bother. It's not worth your time, energy, or sanity for a couple shifts a week. You'll be spread thin and burn out in no time from the combination of work and the rigors of the program. I'm the bread winner also. I have a 300k mortgage to pay ...

Since you posted in the CRNA forum, I'm guessing you are referring to anesthesia stuff. I have a Palm Treo. I got the 680 (Older version) because the CNET reviews seemed to indicate they are more stable than the newer 700's. I splurged for the Treo b...

I'm 33 now...will be 35 when i'm finished... So what if you'll be 38 when you're done...that's nothing...If you practice until you're 65, that's nearly 30 years of practice....that's a no-brainer if you ask me. Even if you were 55 when you finished.....

Yep. Just put your head down and do your best at everything. You'll get there.

You can pretty much get as much as you need. Here's how my financial aid went. Filled out the FAFSA (free federal financial aid form, or whatever it's called). Got my award letter from the school which included the full stafford, sub and unsub amount...

Applied to one and got in on the first try. May want to do a search, quite a few old threads with the same subject. Good luck.

Don't forget all of your benefits. Those really add up. If i had to COBRA my health insurance, that would cost me almost 1k per month. Factor that, disability, life insurance, retirement contributions if any, etc....It's the total package, not what y...

Go to www.aana.com ....that will give you a listing and links to all of the accredited programs by state. Look at the neighboring states, their requirements, curriculums, etc... That will answer a lot of your questions. Come back when you have more s...

The chemistry requirements and unit requirements for each school can differ. You have to research each individual school and their specific requirements. Univ of Southern Cal requires physics where most do not. Kaiser's program at CSU Fullerton requi...

Go to www.aana.com and do your own research.

Totally agree. I was referring to the peanut gallery on this particular thread and was in no way referring to flight nurses in general. Look under their profiles...you'll see where it was coming from.

That depends on you and your situation. I really wanted to get into the school I'm going to because it's a great program and because my wife's family is close by. There is a no minimum per say, but you'll see when you actually start working on the ap...

Anesthesia has everything that I like about the ICU and then some....and nothing that I don't. As far as the peanut gallery sounding off, I wouldn't worry about them. We pay no attention to under-educated and disgruntled flight nurses and pre-nursin...

I can say I've only seen a couple open hearts come out on insulin drips. Post-operatively we are very aggressive with tight glucose control with a goal less than 140 for at least the first 48 hours, as I can't speak to how tight control is on the flo...

One of the CRNA's i worked with did 6 weeks in Vietnam last year. I'm not sure who he went through, but he said there's plenty of opportunities available.

I'm only speaking from the Cardiac OR perspective but anesthesia wouldn't bother treating unless they were well into the 200's, depending on K levels. Their ABG machines pretty much gives them everything they need, ABG values, Lytes, Glucose, Lactic ...

A different approach would be to go for an MSN, do very well, and then apply to a CRNA program that offers a post-master's certificate. Your very best bet, is to sit down and have a chat with the school(s) you're looking at. As good as our intentions...
