    DreamMatrix replied to hopefulSRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The COA has a site that is kept up to date. The link below will help you to evaluate Wolford College. CRNA School

    Yeah, probably wouldn't be a good fit for either of

  3. TCU CRNA program for January 2016

    DreamMatrix replied to ohyeah!21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sounds to me like a miscommunication on the part of the office. Don't believe that the school would lie to you (a deliberate act). Did you call them to seek clarification? Perhaps you should ask to...

  4. RAnking of CRNA school

    DreamMatrix replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The TCU School of Nurse Anesthesia has a great reputation in the nurse anesthesia community. The director of the school was the 2008 AANA Program Director of the Year and currently serves as the...

  5. NBCRNA and the AANA... WOW!

    DreamMatrix replied to ruler of kolob's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually, you are wrong regarding the COA being involved. The COA DID NOT send the email...only the NBCRNA. The COA has NOTHING to do with certification only accreditation of educational programs. The...

  6. NP to CRNA?!

    DreamMatrix replied to Missy89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The COA has now define what is acceptable experience. The requirement for critical care is that you have experience as a Registered Nurse in a critical care area, on a daily basis, managing invasive...

  7. Do CRNA schools care where you got your BSN?

    DreamMatrix replied to future_anesthetist's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Some schools give extra weight to degrees from 4 year universities when considering the applicant. Most schools look at completely online universities with some disdain.

  8. "Automated Anesthesia"?!? -- no need for Anesthesia staff in the room reported

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

    " anesthesiologists at last "liberated," as he puts it, from being confined to any single operating room". MDAs are already "liberated", by CRNAs from the OR. They are the only medical specialty...

  9. TCU aug. 08

    DreamMatrix replied to cfarley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Know you are disappointed about not starting and that you were very excited to begin. Get well soon...a year will be here before you know it! DM P.S. Kay was named Program Director of the Year by...

  10. TCU aug. 08

    DreamMatrix replied to cfarley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Very sorry to hear about your illness and the delay in your plans. We know you are disappointed about this and were excited to get started. Get well, before you know it...it will be next year!

  11. TCU aug. 08

    DreamMatrix replied to cfarley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A few shifts over the long holiday break is OK. Working during the school semester is not a good idea.

  12. TCU aug. 08

    DreamMatrix replied to cfarley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Working has been the failure of many a student. Don't do it...you just might find yourself working those shifts full-time and never as a CRNA.

  13. Money ruining CRNA hopefulls?

    DreamMatrix replied to shakeandbake's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think alot of us older CRNAs have a problem with people going into the profession just for the money. Most of us went into it because we wanted to do this type of work...the money wasn't that great...

  14. CRNAs at Parkland Hospital in Dallas

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

    Yes, I second what XIGRIS wrote...very good relationships with MDA's and CRNA's. Lots of autonomy and just a great teaching institution!

  15. How do you say it?

    DreamMatrix replied to candiceena's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You pronounce the letters "CRNA", you don't sound out the acronym. And the anesthetist is pronounced...a-nes-the-tist.

  16. CRNA vs Med school, tough decision, heres my story

    DreamMatrix replied to Crossfit SRNA2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with many of the others who posted. Go to med school. You won't be satisfied unless you do it. Your young, so go. But, if you are going to go to be a physician, then go into a specialty...

  17. TCU vs. TWU

    DreamMatrix replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Luck?! More like lots of very darn hard work!

  18. Bottom-feeders in the hierarchy of anesthesia caregivers

    DreamMatrix replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Have to second this post by deepz.

  19. Bottom-feeders in the hierarchy of anesthesia caregivers

    DreamMatrix replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Actually, he is a board certified anesthesiologist...not a surgeon...although he may play one sometimes!

  20. Standing during procedure

    DreamMatrix replied to imh11621's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    There is lots of standing. I developed plantar fascitis from all of the standing on my feet. Did lots of "beating heart" CABGs in my time and can tell you that with those cases you pretty much stood...

  21. TCU or U Penn?

    DreamMatrix replied to valerinna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you are working with a surgeon who went to Harvard, you will automatically have more credibility coming out of a school like U Penn than TCU. Where you went to anesthesia school may or may not...

  22. TCU or U Penn?

    DreamMatrix replied to valerinna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just some info regarding the two schools in question. First, TCU may have more name recognition around the nation than the U. of Penn, just because of their sports affiliations. Regarding the fact...

  23. How do you manage personalities of different people You meet in the clinical?

    DreamMatrix replied to jin00005's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yep, I think you got it down...all of you SRNAs out there take note...good

  24. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

    DreamMatrix replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    From what I have been told, TCU feels that since all their applicants are CCRNs that they have a basic clinical theoretical knowledge base and ability. And the CCRN exam is not that easy, despite what...

  25. Nurse Anesthetist Shortage

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

    If Betty Horton says that then you can take it to the bank. She was the Director of of the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Programs for many years and highly respected and very very...
