  1. Retakes Before CRNA School

    manusko replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    manusko replied to msfrance's topic in General Students

    You can find a job for sure. Are you willing to move? Some people cannot/will not move away from home. My graduating class had everything from never worked to coming out of retirement and not one...

  4. CRNA Student and Mom?

    manusko replied to carim's topic in Advanced Practice

    Is he willing to take all of the workload? Everyone manages school differently but many of my classmates and myself included had spouses who took over mom and dad roles. I attended birthdays and...

  5. A better model for the DNP

    manusko replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I know many nurses who pursue their masters both full-time an part-time students who also work full-time. It depends on the programs but it is done everyday. Even some CRNA students work 1-2 days a...

  8. Per diem/Part time CRNA positions?

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

  10. Should the "Doctor" title really be an issue?

    manusko replied to SycamoreGuy's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Even when I say student registered nurse anesthetist, some patients say "oh you are the anesthesiologist". They are confused at times, but I was called Dr when I was an ICU nurse. I just think getting...

  11. Per diem/Part time CRNA positions?

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

    Who cares what the admissions committee knows about your future employment? It should not be a concern to them. If you are qualified and a good fit, then let it

  12. Clarification on the DNP requirement of 2015

    manusko replied to umbdude's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  13. CRNA School Costs

    manusko replied to zack1a's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My wife was basically a single parent for 28 months. She did everything at home plus worked full-time but that was the deal we made. When I hopefully pass boards, then she will retire for a couple...

  14. FUTURE CRNA

    manusko replied to lynnjohnson13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Getting your ADN is in no way a waste of time. If you get your ADN in 2-3 yrs and start working on your 1-2 yrs of experience, then you can complete your BSN while earning an income. Even one year of...

    manusko replied to SRNA1985's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My school is one of those touchy feely nurse based programs. It was a shock considering this is a nurse based profession. My program also has physicians teaching many of our courses as well as CRNAs...

  17. 2 semesters down at TWU (Texas Wesleyan) CRNA program, ask away!

    manusko replied to SRNA1985's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The AANA has taken the position that all programs are to be DNP by 2025. I know you think your school is superior and that's great but just because other schools are making the move earlier probably...

  18. Think long and hard

    manusko replied to JUSTanLPN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  23. Oral Surgeons doing surgery and providing anesthesia

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

    Agreed. I was just stating how the procedure went when I was an assistant. They would treat it as a sterile procedure even though they obviously touched unsterile areas. It would be hard not to. So...
