2. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

   BikeGurl replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   I'm curious about the schooling for AA's. I remeber talking with a cardiac surgery PA who had his bachelors degree in chemistry. How much school is there after bachelors degree. This PA seemed very new to the medical field, and unexperienced with ...

3. Do community college classes look bad?

   BikeGurl replied to cooper's topic in CRNA

   I got my associates degree, and took all my chemistry classes from a community college and had no problem being accepted what so ever. Even with a C in anatomy (I was playing a little too hard at the time)!

5. Not learning to place central lines

   BikeGurl replied to AmiK25's topic in CRNA

   It's funny when you think of the residents in the ICUs that haven't even started an IV before jabbing at patients necks to start an IJ or SC. I know that the risks of pneumo are high, but I think it's odd that they don't train CRNAs at a lot of schoo...

8. Gre

   BikeGurl replied to preCRNA's topic in CRNA

    BikeGurl replied to BDD's topic in CRNA

    I was asked clinical questions at one school, and the other school didn't ask any. They asked about CO/CI, SVR, PAP, and what drips I would use to fix the numbers.

13. Why do practicing CRNAs not like OB?

    BikeGurl replied to Qwiigley's topic in CRNA

    Vulgar? Please. I can't believe how offended people are getting. It was a funny joke, I guess...., but it's even more funny how upset you all are. Chill out.
