has anyone used Faust in addition to the other texts?

how can we find out where the nearest testing center is?

Hi, I will be graduating in December and am planning to move to a specific area (back home). I have been job searching for quite some time now and am finding a lot of hospitals that are "All CRNA" groups with no MDAs. These are hospitals around a met...

Absolutely, if the practice is set up such that one CRNA is circulating. It is really not about MDA/CRNA abilities, but more about having someone available if I need help. If everyone is in a room and busy with a case, it is much different than if ...

Thanks a lot for the insight! It really is amazing how anesthesia groups differ from each other so drastically (their culture). I hope I find the right fit for me!

It can be done!! I am in my second semester of CRNA school. I have three children ages 4 and under. My husband and I made the decision early on that he would stay home with the children. The cost of sending three children to day care would cons...

Dear Cabbage Patch RN, I have three young children also, ages 4, 3, and 1. My husband stays home with the children full time. Yes this means loans, loans, and more loans, but we couldn't and wouldn't do it any other way. I just started in August (...

I am just starting my second week as a SRNA. My husband and I moved our 3 children ages 4, 2 1/2 and 10 months away from our family so that I could go to school. It is hard, and will only get harder...but it is for the better of our family in the l...

Congratulations!! I found out that I was pregnant with our third child after I started applying to CRNA schools. We decided at that time to go forth with the application process since school had been in our plans for several years. There just does...

Im just wondering what the average cost of out of state tuition is for CRNA programs. My tuition was apparently just raised, now to $840/credit. This seems outrageously high. I hav'nt found any other university yet that charges that much. How m...

Thanks everyone, it is encouraging to know that there are other programs charging similar fees. The unfortunate part is that my program's didactic portion is almost completely frontloaded with 17 credits the first semester alone...ouch! It is hard ...

How common is it for SRNAs to have loans (total amount) at or above 100K after school?

Does anyone have any suggestions on a PDA and/or Laptop computer that works well for a SRNA? I will be doing a lot of traveling so would like a PDA with a voice recorder (I think there is such a thing) and the ability to play back content during my ...

Does anyone have suggestions on where to purchase quality health insurance for "family" coverage during school? I know that the school provides a plan, but it sure does'nt seem like it's that great of coverage. I would'nt care as much except that I...

TraumaNurse- You are exceptionally motivating! You seem to have had a positive outlook from the beginning, before you even started your program. That seems to be absolutely necessary to suceed. Thanks for giving us all hope:) !

I will be starting a CRNA program in August. I have three small children...Ages 4, 2 1/2, and 8 months. Am I crazy? Maybe... but I have an extremely supportive husband who will be staying home with the children for at least the first year. It is ...

At my interview I gathered that I would have my clinical in my choice location (one of two options). Now after accepting a position in the class, I just found out that I will likely be doing 50% of my clinicals 2 hours away. I don't know yet how th...

pnurseuwm-I work in a Madison hospital, and there are many CRNAs praciticing here, I have shaddowed several of them. They are highly utilized in the Madison area.

I definately think you will benefit from some ICU experience. I had five years of experience in a very busy ER and was frustrated to find out that few schools accepted that as critical care experience. I then started to work in a SICU to get my "IC...

moving to Naples, Fl in July to start school at FGCU in August.

Are you anticipating that $30,00/year will be enough to live off of? My husband will be staying home with our 3 children, at least initially. The 18,500 will cover tuition for the 28 months, books, etc... and I don't know if we can make it on 30,00...

This is a great site and I've read a lot of great info, so I finally decided to join. I will be moving my family (husband and 3 little ones) to Florida in July...Big Change!! Ill be starting CRNA school at FGCU. My husband will be staying home wit...
