  1. tick bite

    This doesn't have anything to do with CRNA stuff. I am new to the South and don't know much about ticks. My dogs take heart guard and the top spot stuff, but my husband had a tick on him today. We went hiking yesturday and one of the dogs had 6 t...
  2. Voice Recorders?

    Do most people bring recorders to class?
  3. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    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 ...
  4. Do community college classes look bad?

    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. Need advice on moving...

    I just moved across the country in January. We rented a penske truck through monster.com it was some cheaper internet deal. Some one else has told me about a company where they drop the back of a truck off at your house, you load your things, and t...
  6. Not learning to place central lines

    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...
  7. critical care vs floor

    Out of my experiences in CCU, MICU, and CTSU, I would have to say I prefer CCU (if you're in a big hospital- where you get really sick pt--balloon pumps, swans, etc). The poop is definately there, but I would have to say there is nothing worse than a...
  8. health insurance while in school

    Any words of wisdom about health insurance for myself in CRNA school? I would like basic with dental. Let me know what you all did/are doing. thanks
  9. Gre

    Take the GRE. A lot of people I worked with didn't take the GRE or took it and did poorly, so they applied to schools that didn't require it. They all got in, but I think a lot of people that don't take the GRE are all applying to the same schools,...
  10. Hemodynamics

    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.
  11. Loans, Grants, Ect.. How Does One Pay

    I start school in August. You can't join AANA until you're at least a student right? I just sent a check to start getting the magazines. thanks for your feed back.
  12. Loans, Grants, Ect.. How Does One Pay

    athomas91..or anybody, any ideas where to look for these grants? I'll write some essays! I don't have any community service on my record and I don't have the top grades, but let me know if there's a good place to look for grants..thanks
  13. Why do practicing CRNAs not like OB?

    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.

  20. Midwestern Interview

    Has that program been around very long? I don't remember hearing about it when I was applying last year. My interviews were both scheduled for a long time. I can't remember, but I think like 1:30 - 6:30. They gave a group overview of the program f...

    Hello everybody. I've really enjoyed reading this site the last few months and decided to join. My CRNA program starts in August (2004). I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for in state tuition. I've already moved across the country and sta...
