  1. I got in, but now I'm not sure I can go.

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

    I agree. And what happens if you can't find a job in your desired location? It definitely needs to be a joint decision that you can both be happy with. I attend with many people who really want to...

  2. Critical Care Nurse Navy Reservist in CRNA School

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

    Wow a recruiter not following through with their word? Unheard of. That really sucks. Did you approach your PD yet? I'm not sure about the NAVY, but in the AF Guard you could go on IRR or resign your...

  3. CRNA vs. Perfusionist

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

    Schools decide what experience they take. Critical care is the requirement. I attend school with a PICU and NICU nurse. Some places also allow

  4. Just finished my first semester. Ask me anything.

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

    Other than a couple of schools, a 3.0 is the minimum. So yes it is good enough but probably less than the average person accepted. You can still stand out in other areas. Is your overall GPA

  5. Why do anesthesiologists hate CRNAs???

    manusko replied to Pattycakes85's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would say hate is not accurate. There are those who prefer that we have limited abilities and I have seen that they are more protective over central lines and such. I do not feel hated by my MDAs...

  6. CRNA nursing students who are over 40 and dismissed from their programs.

    manusko replied to Peggy F's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm sure every school has people who believe they are targeted to be released. Not everyone that starts anesthesia school is a good technician. I'm sure there are those who wash out academically and...

  7. Valley Review question

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

    Well it's either the memory master or the review book. You bought the MM and you get the review book as part of the valley conference so you are covered either way. The notecards are also the same as...

    manusko replied to njxcrush18's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That should be followed by the disclaimer "results not typical". Those NP jobs are out there but not easy to land, I think avg pay was around 90k. I personally would not consider the exam lawyers take...

    manusko replied to ckh23's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I tried to. Jumped through hoops three months before school which was January. The recruiter quit taking my calls in March. Then they finally called in October to see if I was still interested. I was...

  13. Duke University worth the money?

    manusko replied to Daveo7_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That is more than double my programs cost and I'll be in the hole quite a bit. You have to decide between the costs and the programs fit for you. Tuition all varies from program to program. The...

  14. Science classes for CRNA school

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

    I retook a chemistry class. I completed it online with a online lab. My transcript does not say it was online. My school didn't care about it

  15. How much "Nursing Theory" is in CNRA school?

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

    Technically I had 9 credits in theory for CRNA school. It is a nursing practice so it makes sense to have nursing theory behind it. Don't know if other schools have as much, but there has to be a...

  16. What is a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Practice?

    manusko replied to DNAP2b's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  18. respiratory therapists becoming CRNAs????

    manusko replied to mommy2BCD's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If they were the same, then they could work independently which they can not. AA's are also only in some states. They are not recognized as independent practitioners. Same, but different is not the...

  19. Just finished my first semester. Ask me anything.

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

    I agree. I was just letting the other poster know why it is longer than 4 semesters. I have about 500 cases and most catergories completed with a year to go. We average just under 1000 cases by...

  22. Just finished my first semester. Ask me anything.

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

  23. CRNA gpa. Am I to far gone?

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

    So what is your overall GPA? There are a couple of schools that have a minimum of 2.75, but I am sure that is not their avaerage person accepted. I agree with Grad classes and get A's. If you have any...

  24. plz reply!! About the G.R.E. test and CRNA program in Georgia

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

    I agree with aiming for at least a 3.5 or higher. It may make the difference in getting the interview which can be a lot of the battle. Also, some programs are starting to require 2 years of critical...

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

    Your opioin has no backing, yet studies state the exact opposite of what you are saying. Studies show that the CRNA is just as safe as the MDA. "totally unsafe"? If you believe that this is such an...
