  1. Any ideas for affordable Health Insurance during school?

    TexasCCRN replied to ellarose's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi of course blue cross is going to be the best, but not really affordable. Most schools will have some sort of coverage that they offer for you atleast. I went with Humana. My friend who is an...

  2. CRNA Jobs Dallas

    TexasCCRN replied to CougRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Plaza medical is an awesome place for independence, autonomy, etc. Not sure about the amount of regional work done there, but it is a pretty much CRNA run

  3. CCRN for CRNA?

    TexasCCRN replied to MelissaRN.FutureCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree! If you are already in don't worry about that exam. You are going to learn more in ansethesia school than the CCRN exam could ever teach you. Enjoy life for now! If you are going to read...

  4. Austin CRNA's ? Which groups are better ?

    TexasCCRN replied to carachel2's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Capitol is the only official group i think in Austin that uses CRNA's but the st. David's hospital partnership does use CRNA's as well. I am not sure about the seton network. There are places right...

  5. TCU/Wesleyan Interviews

    TexasCCRN replied to TX ICU RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is exactly what I heard as well. Not impressed with the poster. It was actually a denim long sleve AANA shirt over another shirt (for like when you get cold). And yes, emergency procedures for...

    TexasCCRN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi to all. I am thinking of moving to NE TN after graduation maybe to the Johnson city or Greeneville area. I lived in Greeneville for a year in the past and really liked it. I am into camping and...

  10. CRNA's or Students in Northeast Tennessee

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

    Gotta bump this one up! I know TN is considered in the sticks (since i lived there for a while), but there are computers

  11. PDA or Laptop?

    TexasCCRN replied to Floridanurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Both PDA & Laptop. PDA for clinical laptop or desktop during classes. Software varies by school, etc. Find out what students are using at your school and what their likes/dislikes are. My...

  12. twu clinical sites???

    TexasCCRN replied to mumbatex's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yea exactly what i heard. It's not even so bad that their in the room, but that they are just breathing down your neck the whole time. How are you supposed to think for yourself and make decisions...

  13. twu clinical sites???

    TexasCCRN replied to mumbatex's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with SIGMA here. Those are excellent sites and I am at TCU. I would stay away from Harris, the coordinators there are very overbearing, don't have much autonomy at all. I would not want it...

  14. Waive right to access letter of recommendation?

    TexasCCRN replied to Dreamweaver2be's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I did not waive my rights to see my letters, but with that said i knew people were going to give me good recommendations. The only reason i did not waive my rights was to be able to see the nice...

  15. Books?

    TexasCCRN replied to JiffyGriff's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I suggest reading a book called Watchful Care. It is the history of America's nurse anesthetists. It is only about 25.00 on the AANA website. It will encourage you and get you excited about the...

  16. PO2 corresponding with pulse Ox formula??

    TexasCCRN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi Does anyone know how to figure out if your pulse ox is like 77-80% what should your PO2 be. I know there is a way to do it but i can't remember the formula. Thanks

  17. Anesthesia and Me

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

    Just another great reason to give money to the AANA and to be politically involved! I am getting out my

  18. Apple/Macintosh compatible PDA's?

    TexasCCRN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I know the PDA issue has been addressed previously, but I don't think it has gotten this specific. Does anyone know of a good PDA for anesthesia software that is Mac compatible.

  19. PO2 corresponding with pulse Ox formula??

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

  20. TCU/Wesleyan Interviews

    TexasCCRN replied to TX ICU RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    TCU accepts around 60 and interviews a couple hundred. TWU you can double the acceptance number and I imagine they interview a couple hundred as

    TexasCCRN replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Someone who is in my class who is from FL said that it's just flooded and no competition. Think about it..lots of old folks, lots of hospitals. Thats just the way it seems for that

  22. Apple/Macintosh compatible PDA's?

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

    Very helpful, thanks so much. I will look into it. Are there any other programs besides epocrates that you like for anesthesia?

  23. Sheridan Healthcare

    TexasCCRN replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The fajitas rocked! I see if you already have family down there and that's where you want to be I understand. It just sucks that the pay in FL sems so low compared to other states. Do you know why...

  24. Sheridan Healthcare

    TexasCCRN replied to SigmaSRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am at TCU and we got the same presentation you guys did. Didn't sound that great to me at all. From looking at the pay scales FL seems just a little below the rest of the nation. Being from...

  25. Does anyone work?

    TexasCCRN replied to KannRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know some schools prohibit working, at least when you start clinicals. I think that it would be unsafe to your patients to work every weekend and do clinicals all week. I did know some in my front...
