  1. making forum better

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

    This is an excellent idea. Posters should try to be as specific as possible when thinking of a title for their thread. "Interview" or anything this generic is not very specific and has less of a...

  2. interview

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

    I would just say loans...I would say I have worked hard to pay off my bills, etc and will take out loans for the rest, etc. (I would suggest working a bunch and paying down any debt that you may...

  3. Early Interview!

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

    I had an early interview as well. Not at your school. I don't know how they are different really. From what my interviewers told me the students who get picked for early interviews are excellent...

  4. EMT to RN

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

    EMT to RN here as well. Get into a program ASAP or find out a school where you can take prereq classes that will go toward your nursing classes, chem, etc. Good grades will get you into a program...

  5. Nursing student interested in CRNA and needs reply

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

    Check out the stickies at the top of both of the forums. That may answer a lot of your

  6. Fentanyl Vs. Alfentanil in Acidosis

    TexasCCRN replied to soliant12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It does depend upon the lipid solubility, but at 6.5 it still may be a weak base. Just because it has a little lower Pka than Fentanyl doesn't nec mean that it will become less ionized in a more...

  7. ADN with previous B.S. enough?

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

    Yes it's possible. Just depends some schools want a BSN. There is a guy in my class right now who has a BS in biology, got an ADN and that was

  8. CRNA Shadowing Tips

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

    If no one has sent you a PM I hope you find someone. If you don't end up knowing anyone just call the hospitals and ask for the surgery director or who the head CRNA is, etc. It should not be a...

  9. Competitive pharmacology grades

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

    Don't worry too much about having to have an A. Actually someone with a 4.0 may have a problem with school. IF you have all A's makes you look like just a book worm and that you have no other life....

  10. interview

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

    Sorry I don't know anything specifically about Georgetown, but I agree with preCRNA that you will need a car. Unless you live within walking/bike riding distance of the place you will do clinicals,...

  11. Racemic Epi vs Albuterol, Which is better?`

    TexasCCRN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Why would you choose RE over albuterol? Would it be to stimulate B1 as well. I know albuterol will do this too, but I was just wondering if there are any other clinical applications that I am...

  12. Racemic Epi vs Albuterol, Which is better?`

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

    Thanks everyone for the info. I am sure we will get to this shortly at school. I just had to ask the question while it was in my very tightly squeezed brain! Thanks

  13. What's the difference?

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

    CRNA programs like you to have diverse experience I think. If looking for a first job and you know you want to go to CRNA school, I would choose the hospital/unit that will allow you the most...

  14. Competitive Pharmacology Grades for CRNA Admission

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

    Notice the new sub-forum above this one. This question should really be in there for future

  15. Competitive Pharmacology Grades for CRNA Admission

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

    Don't think it matters so much. I think I made and A in one and B in the other. Nice to stay out of C territory when you can. Think they look at the whole picture more than just

  16. Should I apply now?

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

    Every school has a different start time, deadline, things they want, etc. You just have to get on the schools website and check it out. You sound very motivated. I am sure you will have all your...

  17. Should I apply now?

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

    I would say just settle down a bit. I really would not recommend applying now. Most folks who apply have lots of experience and are top notch critical care nurses. If you think about it what do you...

  18. Living While in CRNA School

    TexasCCRN replied to sonofsatan24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am lucky and have a spouse. I do know that those who are single live off of their school loans and any money that they have saved prior to

  19. RRNA or SRNA for title, What is your opinion?

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

    Right

  20. RRNA or SRNA for title, What is your opinion?

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

    I agree that DO's are more looked down upon because it is easier to get into school and you are right, some do it as a back up when they don't get into medical school. They do function the same as...

  21. CRNA Degree which title is better?

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

    As a CRNA it will not make a difference. There are some differences in classes required, thesis options, etc. It will really vary by the

  22. Will switching jobs affect admission to CRNA school?

    TexasCCRN replied to cutiejen2's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I only had about 2 yrs experience. If you are moving it's no big deal. Not like you are job hopping. With that said I hope that you are moving closer to where you want to go to school. Would hate...

  23. Starting clinical; need new shoes! Please help!

    TexasCCRN replied to KiwiAngel_18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I like my birkenstocks. They are slip-ons as well and you can get them in just about any color or leather. You will pay over 100.00 for them but they last forever and can be re soled if they are...

  24. Hello.

    TexasCCRN replied to SJIAMRN69's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would try to get a hold of a CRNA in your facility and follow them for a day. Read the stickies and search the forum for your questions as most of them have probably been adressed. Good luck and...

  25. Question about NHS

    TexasCCRN replied to SCmomof3's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I wasn't a member of anything either. I think they look at your personality and experience more than any honors clubs. Most of my friends who did get into these dropped them after the first year...
