I think that it may. You could have a fast onset like succs then a fast reversal without the negative side effects like fasciculations and Type II block, that is assuming that you would be able to reverse the block that easily. I would be great for intubations especially. preCRNA

I don't know anything about that program, but since I am in CRNA school right now I can tell you that you will definitely need a car, especially during the clinical portion. I guess that it might possible to get by without one, but it would make it so much easier seeing as you will be going to clinical very early in the morning and leaving at varying times of the day. And as to the question they might ask you about financing your education, I would try to save some money if you can now. If the interviewer knows that you have taken the time and personal responsibility to build up some money in a bank account, they will think more highly of you. (Please realize that it is not very likely that you will be able to save enough money to finance even half of school finances, but to have some money saved just in case is something happens.) Hope this helps, preCRNA

That is awesome. I hope that this drug continues to have good results because it would make those shorter cases a little more managable. preCRNA

RN29306 is right, I don't think many of those pre-CRNA's who are not in CRNA school will visit that Future Advanced Practice Forum. I think that everyone would be surprised at how much the "Clinical Anesthesia Forum" proposed by the previous poster would be used.

I guess my type is kinda rare too, only 2% of the population. Anyway, I start CRNA school at MMC in August.

Scranton U - Applied, interviewed, and turned down Mount Marty School of Nurse Anesthesia - Applied, interviewed, and accepted. Start school in Aug 2005 TWU and Kaiser - Applied, declined interviews based on my decision to attend Mount Marty

Thats awesome that you got in. When I got my acceptance letter I didn't believe it was actually real! Have a big party dude!

I am a youngin' and I haven't even started CRNA school yet but I will next fall.:) I personally am excited about the chances of being involved with the public and increasing the public approval of nurse anesthesia. I think that this is the best field in healthcare, bar none. That said, I would feel extremely guilty for not working to keep the profession alive while 10% of the practicing nurse anesthetists do 90% of the work. But, I also agree that if the ones that are against all of the "politics" of nurse anesthesia truly make themselves the best anesthesia providers they can be, they will still be advancing the profession. Just remember that if people refuse to get involved in this profession on a policial or social level then that can't complain when something they don't like happens in these aspects. preCRNA

Hey everybody, Are there any other people out there that are accepted to Mount Marty in SD for August of 2005? Just wanting to talk shop with any who are in that boat. Also, if there are any people who know a lot about the Sioux Falls area feel free to tell me stuff about the area. Thanks. preCRNA

Where are you attending apaisRN? Just curious.

The interview was okay, but I didn't feel like I really nailed it. But lo and behold I am heading off to my first choice school. Anybody else here get accepted to Mount Marty in SD?

I'm IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mount Marty School of Nurse Anesthesia here I come! Just got the acceptance letter today!

I took an online course through Weber State University. Its actually 5 credits and is entitled Elementary Organic Chem/Biochem. You should check it out. It is a little pricey though, around 800 bucks. But its a good class and with a little work I got an A-. Check it out on the website http://www.weber.edu. Hope this helps, preCRNA

Thanks for the advice catcolalex. I agree with you, I think that the admissions people are looking for people who can be calm in unnerving situations. I will work on that.
