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

    I am in school now and have been told by current students and CRNAs that you should learn at work all that you can get in your head. Take your CCRN, PALS and ACLS. We had multiple people ask what we...

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

    No, but it may take you longer. If you can just go for the BSN. After junior year, some programs allow you to take the LVN board and then you can work as an LVN as you finish up. You will want to take...

  4. Best type of experience?

    manusko replied to seamang2's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  7. Why everyone wants to become anesthetist? Is it because of the salary?

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

    Maybe a little bit more involved than that? There are interventions that are done during the surgery. If the CRNA just sits there the way you purpose, then they probably do not belong

  8. Why everyone wants to become anesthetist? Is it because of the salary?

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

    Usually one per room. There may be 30 or more on staff per hospital's size and needs. Its worth having you really want tit bad enough. I also hear people say that they can not get a job out of...

    manusko replied to cole1321's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  10. Considering pursuing a CRNA career

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

    No, unless thats your average. A 3.0 average is the minimum at many schools but probably not near the average that a typical accepted student has. I had a C in Chemistry, retook it and earned an A. I...

  11. AA student contemplating CRNA track...advice?

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

    Yes they are anesthesia assistants. They usually have a science degree and then go to AA school. I think most are/where pre-med or could have been. Don't think they have to have any medical experience...

    manusko replied to GHOT-Anes's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Several do. I am in school with two nurses that had only PICU experience. Some schools take ER and PACU too. Look at the program you might like and they should have it in their

    manusko replied to TravelinCEN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The employee hand book lays out evaluations and how pay raises work at my hospital. There has not been a union at my hospital so I do not how that has helped me. All employees have an annual...

  15. To unionize or not...

    manusko replied to TravelinCEN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Sorry I do not need a Union to let me pee at work. If you do not get what you want and they decide to strike, do you walk out on your patients? If you do, then you are breaking what you pledged to do...

  16. To unionize or not...

    manusko replied to TravelinCEN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    manusko replied to jls189's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes and no. As I understand, you apply as a civillian and if you get accepted you will then enter military service. So you will be an officer and attend school. When you are finished you will have to...

  20. CRNA harder than RN school?

    manusko replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    manusko replied to jls189's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
