  1. MAC vs PC for SRNA

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

    Right there with you vinny! I just completed my first semester and i have a powerbook. I love it and don't have 1/2 of the problems that any PC users in the class struggle with. My hubby uses...

  2. What do you like/dislike about your program?

    TexasCCRN replied to sn2bcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As opposed to the other poster I like that my program is front loaded. We do most all of our classroom work in the first 12 months. I want to be going into clinicals with at least some knowledge of...

  3. study process/SRNA process

    TexasCCRN replied to rose234's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can say without reservation or agenda that anesthesia school thus far has been fantastically stressful, entertainingly draining, and as intellectually, psychologically, & physically challenging...

  4. How are practicing CRNAs Fighting for our profession??

    TexasCCRN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi All, I know I should probably just stay in my little nurse forum, but I can't help but wonder over to SDN and see what they are chatting about. The last few days have been interesting. I won't...

  5. How are practicing CRNAs Fighting for our profession??

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

    I am enrolled in a CRNA program right now, but my plan is to teach! I ssooo look forward to it. I really enjoy teaching. It is true we need more CRNA's in

    TexasCCRN replied to mitch8lem's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was an EMT basic then went into a BSN program. I got the same grades as you in A&P in undergrad and am making A's now in CRNA school. Do your EMT so you can make some money and then go...

    TexasCCRN replied to mitch8lem's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think it will hinder your chances at all. There is nothing wrong with a B. I know, I had them. I actually made a C in A&P I and a B in A&P II. I am in CRNA school right now and...

  8. Md's Against Crna's?

    TexasCCRN replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I didn't read back to see who originally posted this bit of info, but does it suprise anyone that the med errors are lower for these QMA's. (Don't know if this statistic is right?) If all you had to...

  9. Md's Against Crna's?

    TexasCCRN replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    BEA as well as on SDN and here enjoy your posts! TXANESTHETIST/TEXASCCRN Keep it up. Folks like you are good for the profession. Power in #'s is right. Where are you in school at if you don't mind....

  11. Best area to work prior to CRNA school

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

    Ditto...multiple, drips, vents, invasive lines, I would tend to stay away from anyplace that is strictly CV, this will limit you and allow you to only get focused on the heart. I would work somewhere...

  12. Md's Against Crna's?

    TexasCCRN replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ok don't let things get out of hand here everyone! Heart makes a good point here that there is a difference (although I have never heard of a QMA so i really can't speak to it). Regardless of their...

  13. So, why do you want to be a CRNA?

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

    Good

  14. I'd Love to be a CRNA but...

    TexasCCRN replied to 30andconfused's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was an EMT as well and however many years you have of "stabilize and move them to the ER" does not give you what you need to deal with school or as an ICU nurse. I can speak to this because I have...

  15. Md's Against Crna's?

    TexasCCRN replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    As someone said earlier it's all about money, power, politics. If CRNA's were incompetent then we would have been gone a long time ago. If they would just study up they would realize that CRNA's...

  16. So, why do you want to be a CRNA?

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

    I am guessing you are referencing the interview question. Just be honest. They will be able to see if you are sincere or not. My reason was that all of the aspects of my job that i like are in...

  17. young children and CRNA school

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

    We are the same age and i just started school. I have no children and have purposely waited to start a family till school is done. From my view if you can make a choice you should put school first,...

  18. Retake A & P classes?

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

    If you have time go for it. It will only help you to take a basic physiology class again. If not I made a C in one and a B in my other in undergrad. I got into school, and I actually have an A...

  19. CRNA Management Best Practices

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

    There is a book on the AANA website that may be helpful. Sorry can't remember the name. But you won't have to look through too

  20. What to wear (for women)?

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

    Suit is the way to go. I got mine last year at Express. Grey with a nice colored shirt underneath. Wear shoes your are comfortable in. You will be nervous enought without having to worry about...

  21. Question for an assignment: Why did you become a nurse?

    TexasCCRN replied to megamoo1979's topic in General Nursing

    COMFORTABLE CLOTHES, COMFY SHOES! Time off is good. I like another poster always enjoyed biology, etc. Was not focused enough when I was young to go to med school. Now doing CRNA and glad things...

  22. Please answer for my class research paper

    TexasCCRN replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

    I am truly a dog lover and I hate to think of anything bad happening to them, but as the other poster said if it is the only thing closest to a human response. Good luck with the project. You will...

  24. New guy here, a question and brief intro.

    TexasCCRN replied to scott07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I went straight to icu as a new grad. It can be done. It does help like the previous poster stated to be a tech in ICU as soon as you can. Just to get used to the bells/whistles and learn as much...

  25. Away from family during school

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

    School #2 sounds like where I am at. I also have no kids and was lucky the hubby wanted to move with me. I do know some others who are in your situation. It is hard on them and their families....
