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

    Treo 600 or 650 is the only way to go. Everything is moving toward phone/pda combo. You will have enough stuff hanging from your waist...might as well combine what you can. I started my class as the...

  3. Military vs. Civilian CRNA's

    are-in replied to RE Agent's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well let's see... Considering the average CRNA salary, I would imagine that if the only thing that the CRNA did was to monitor the PT in the OR for the MD, then the field would be overwhelmingly...

  4. Medical school?

    are-in replied to sonessrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    At times I do worry that when I am finished w/ CRNA school, I may become incontent with my position and wish to keep going. I worry about this because it is what I have always done. I am 32 now and...

    are-in replied to jewelcutt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    are-in posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I will be starting CRNA school in January (nail biting has begun!) and am looking for answers to some questions I have. Question: Do CRNAs have prescriptive authority? I am not specifically speaking...

    are-in posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Can anyone comment on the accuracy of a CVP through a PICC vs HD cath (like a quentin) vs a central line. All IJ or Subclavian of course. Thanks,

    Sandyman... I don't really understand the whole pre-administration bit???? But anyway, there was no negative publicity...just providing information to an interested party seeking answers about...

  12. Experience ~ Charleston/MUSC

    are-in replied to poja_18's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    sandman, if you take the time to read the other posts, you will find that my post actually is relevant. i believe the question was whether or not the same qualifying admissions requirements remain in...

  13. Experience ~ Charleston/MUSC

    are-in replied to poja_18's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually, I was told a few years ago that they did not even look at applications from those with less than 3 years experience. That proved to be a false statement. Actually, they have admitted people...

    A full day beginning with a 3 hour introduction to the program. Then they have a 4 hour block of time for individual interviews. These last about 20-25 minutes each. There was a panel of 6 people...

  17. Who went straight to ICU after getting your BSN

    are-in replied to UpwardMobility's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Regarding two individuals that I know, it is somewhat bothersome to me when I hear of others wanting to go to CRNA school and in the same breath, they immediately talk about salaries. I fully...
