    TexasCCRN replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    That's right and statistics to back it up! We all just have to keep trudging

  2. Respect!!!

    TexasCCRN replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    We need to reclaim our "territory" as CRNA's. You are right they need a history lesson on the history of anesthesia. We should all read up on our history (I recommend the book watchful care, which...

  4. Failed Nclex First Time---Still Want to go to CRNA School

    TexasCCRN replied to crnahopeful32's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    No one will know about your NCLEX score, nor will they care. You need to pass to get on with your life. I recommend contacting Marlene Hurst and Hurst Review services. I have first hand experience...

  5. did anyone get accepted with B's in undergraduate sciences???

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

    Yes, possible to get in with B's. I think they focus on your nursing courses, personality, abilities and accomplishments! Making A's is not the most important thing...it's being good at what you

  6. pt/nurse ratio?

    TexasCCRN replied to emsboss's topic in MICU, SICU

    This seems to be the norm lately where I am as well. Not a new grad though and it stresses me out...i feel for you. I'd start looking for a new job! Good

  7. Starting school...need to vent

    TexasCCRN replied to Amberlynn1181's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I assure you that I am just as fed up as you are. Unfortunately I am/was the main provider in the household, so i couldn't get called off all the time. Other than that I would surely do it! Don't...

    Nice to hear some positive feedback! Thanks and good luck with the rest of the

  9. Do CRNA programs favor male applicants?

    TexasCCRN replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't think the programs favor male applicants. I think more men apply. I think for many reasons, women are more willing to put up with the BS of bedside nursing. Also, men sometimes get married...

  10. Is anyone having trouble getting into a CRNA program?

    TexasCCRN replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I applied to all 4 schools in TX. Did 2 interviews. Alt at one accepted at the other. One school I didn't even get an interview. The other I got one but turned it down since I had already been...

  11. TCU Attrition rates

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

    CCRNMASTER, FYI I have heard that all of the TCU students booted out this summer have been readmitted. Just to let you know. I know I am nervous too since we will be classmates. It's not going to...

  12. 13 more shifts until I become a SRNA!

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

    Ok so things are continuing to get so bad with patient ratios that I just can't take it any more! I am just finishing out the schedule which ends in 2 weeks. I was going to work till August, but no...

  13. 13 more shifts until I become a SRNA!

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

    Counting the days as well! I can't wait to get out of the torture we call bedside nursing! My last shift is the 27th. It can't come soon enough! Congrats to all!

  14. SICU or CVICU?

    TexasCCRN replied to kiki9095's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I say go with the SICU, esp if you will get to train for CVICU as well. I worked at a hospital and started out in ICU...started crosstraining with cvicu and ended up doing both. I have no transplant...

  15. NICU or Med-Surg 1st?

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

    Step down is not the same as ICU. I could see working step down for a bit if they agree to train you in ICU in a few months. The point is get to ICU as quickly as possible. NICU would probably be a...

  16. Sedation by non-anesthesia personel

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

    My opinion is that an ER physician is trained in advanced airway techniques so I wouldn't have a problem with it. He/she is used to intubating, etc. Propofol esp has such a short half life that the...

  17. NICU or Med-Surg 1st?

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

    I couldn't disagree more. ICU and any Floor are totally different animals. There are two different types of organization and thought processes. If your goal is to become a CRNA don't waste your...

    TexasCCRN replied to suzanne4's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
