  1. What does a normal CRNA day look like?

    jwconn1104 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I know that a normal CRNA day is almost impossible to define, so I was hoping that CRNAs on this site could respond and tell me what your Wednesday work day looked like this week, whether it was a...

    Thanks for the information! Any other CRNAs want to chime

  3. What does a normal CRNA day look like?

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks for the information! I'm hoping to get some time and shadow a couple of CRNA's in a rural hospital pretty soon, and then shadow some at my workplace (which is one of the largest hospitals in...

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That in itself is good news, so.... let's go with one of the days you worked, if you don't mind me changing the question for you. I'd love to hear about whatever day you worked last.

  5. My CRNA (hopeful) Checklisit. Anything Missing?

    jwconn1104 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello, My name is James. I'm currently in a nursing school and I'm incredibly interested in becoming a CRNA. I haven't taken it lightly at all and have constantly been researching what it takes to...

    That is something that I hadn't thought of. Thank

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for all of the replies. Any other useful tips/pointers/direction anyone would like to give? I hope I've made it clear that I'm not passively thinking about this to make "the big bucks." I'm...

  8. ACLS certification

    jwconn1104 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey! I'm relatively new to the site, and I have a question for any of you who have gotten/are educated about the ACLS certification. Basically, I'm a first year ASN student and I'm hoping to get my...

  9. ACLS certification

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed! My instructor (thankfully) made that very clear before I attended the course so I prepared on my own. I took the AHA online course: Learn: Rhythm Adult to learn how to read ECGs with...

  10. ACLS certification

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I agree completely. I would never WANT to be the individual running a code. I was only responding to the person who asked if I thought I could do it. Do I believe I COULD do it if I had to? Yes....

  11. ACLS certification

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I do feel like I could run a code. I'm still fresh on it, so that may change. I'm comfortable with rhythms (at least the ones that are required for the course) and I'm comfortable with...

  12. ACLS certification

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    Just so everyone who commented knows. I DID get my ACLS. It's really not that difficult. It's hard work and studying for sure, but it's not impossible like some make it sound. If you're a student and...

  13. The Best Route to a CRNA

    jwconn1104 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm sure that everyone has been asked this question, but I'm going to ask it again if it has been asked. First I'll tell you about myself. Please understand that I'm not some sort of prideful jerk,...

  14. ACLS certification

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I think I'm going to go for it. One of my friends has an ACLS book, and I think I'm going to learn some basic rhythms via AHA course. I should be able to do it. I'm just going to have to make...

  15. ACLS certification

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    Great to hear that another student has done it. I think I am going to take a basic rhythm class and do some "ACLS pharmacology" preparation. I really appreciate all of the good information. If anyone...

    Thanks for the

  17. ACLS certification

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies! Keep 'em coming. I'm still trying to decide. One of the reasons I would like my ACLS is to give me a leg up on getting into an ER/ICU straight out of school. The AHA...

  18. The Best Route to a CRNA

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ha ha. I guess you're probably right. I guess I just feel like there are at least a million ways to screw up getting what I want in the future. Just testing the waters and seeing what others think. I...

  19. The Best Route to a CRNA

    jwconn1104 replied to jwconn1104's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My question is how to go about it in the quickest fashion. I know the requirements, but I don't know which route will get me to my CRNA the fastest. I'm looking for realistic answers. I know it's an...
