  1. How/when to reach out to prospective employers?

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

    The job you are taking sounds exactly like what I'm looking for. If you don't mind PM'ing me, I'd love to take a look at where it is. I want independence, blocks, lines, and 200 W2---and if there are...

  2. Can level 1 trauma IMCU/SICU Step-down experience get you into CRNA school?

    DreameRN replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can tell you that my school does. There is one kid in my class that has ER, and in the class above there's one, and at least one in the class below. By far, most have ICU, but my school at least...

  3. Advice for CRNA

    DreameRN replied to Mnurse18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can vouch for that. I also had subpar GPA due to goofing off my first couple years. I had a 3.5 BSN, but my pre reqs were mostly Cs, and my science GPA they look at was something like 2.7. I retook...

  4. Student Loans and Debt

    DreameRN replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'd say that is too high for a masters. I have a close friend with an NP that ended up with close to 175K and she is struggle bus-sing to make ends meet. Her job is 105k/yr. After...

  5. Want to confirm: AA's basically do exactly the same thing as CRNA's

    DreameRN replied to Jake355's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    AAs....monitor anesthesia and anesthesia under an MD physician supervision. The MDs will likely make the plan, push the drugs, and when all looks okay--will leave you to monitor the case, and then...

  6. Do CRNA's need to do any lifting or moving patients?

    DreameRN replied to Jake355's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can tell you just from being in clinical for about 2 months, that you will be on your feet a decent amount, depending on the day. Sometimes there will be a long 4-5 hour case that is stable and you...

  7. CRNAs: We are the Answer

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

    I hate the politics of this but for the sake of education, I will say what I have experienced as a CRNA student having just begun my 2nd of 3 total years. I have taken anatomy with cadaver...

  10. Lower GPA for CRNA school

    DreameRN replied to loouxoxo69's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    totally depends on the school. I had a terrible prereq GPA, something like 2.8. I goofed off a bunch prior, but got serious in nursing school. But my BSN was a 3.6ish. My science GPA was (after I...

  11. Go Fund Me

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

    Just heard about this the other day. Just about to finish up my first year as a student as well, so I don't feel like I truly have a voice or a sense of the history involved and definitely have not...

  12. Scared/feel unprepared for CRNA school?

    DreameRN replied to Rnso's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I felt the same exact way. I felt like I had somehow fooled them and I was not going to be up to the task. I even failed my first quiz in the program and I was terrified. However, I'm almost completed...

  13. Was CRNA worth it all?

    DreameRN replied to murse1293's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If it helps, I put him through his schooling before I went back, where I worked and he just went to school. Its building a future together and supporting each

  14. Was CRNA worth it all?

    DreameRN replied to murse1293's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My stats were average. 3.5 GPA for BSN, 3.2 for sciences. I goofed off alot before I went to nursing school and my grades showed it. I had to retake several classes and get As and pay for it myself. I...

  15. nurse anesthesia program starts soon...want to try CBD oil

    DreameRN replied to SRNAliving's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Personally I wouldn't risk it. IF you test positive, then it jeopardizes your license. I'm not positive about CBD oil itself, but since marijuana is federally illegal, and nearly all hospitals accept...

  16. CRNA School and Debt Advice

    DreameRN replied to PediatricCTICURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I feel you on this. I had about 60k in undergrad, and did travel nursing for a couple years to pay off most of it. I'm nervous about taking more out, but the salary is that much bigger and if you...

  17. Was CRNA worth it all?

    DreameRN replied to murse1293's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I will....have to let you know. I'm in first year, have several left, but I can tell you that i LOVE what I'm learning. And I start clinical later this year so once I get into that, hopefully I love...

  18. 1099 vs w2

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

    Oh the envy i have for the time you are in to have interviews! congrats! I've got 2.5 years left...6 months down. Just following this though because i'm just as interested and 1099 vs w2 is new to me...

  19. CRNA School with a young family

    DreameRN replied to ECRNICU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Agree. Most of the time I have enough time after studying to get the time that I want with my husband. However, this is the didactic phase, and that changes with my program with clinicals. Depending...

  20. Do SRNA/CRNAs have to participate in elective abortions and sterilizations?

    DreameRN replied to udmgraduate's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I actually don't know because I haven't started clinicals yet. I assume yes. this is a forum that discusses it several places, this is just one thread. I'm apprehensive about this myself....

  21. CRNA School? Is it too early?

    DreameRN replied to Kitkat222's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It can't hurt....and you've got that year in the ED as well. If it was a good ED, with sick patients, and you feel comfortable with the sickest patients on your unit after a year in CV, can't hurt to...

  22. Pre-CRNA course offered at BARRY

    DreameRN replied to tachymurse123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  23. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    DreameRN posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A conversation came up in my class today, about whether or not to use the title "doctor" after we graduate. We will have earned our doctorate, and my professor has their's as well, but mentioned that...

  24. Do you use the title "Dr."?

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

    *shoulder shrug* I tried to redirect it back to the original question, but alas, that attempt

  25. Do you use the title "Dr."?

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

    " It shows the level of education that I have acquired. I can see myself introducing myself as "I'm Dr. Dream, I am your nurse anesthetist that will be doing your anesthesia today. " For the record, I...
