    rn29306 replied to JJRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Go with an open mind. No matter what your past experience, you are walking into an alien, fast-paced world. Realize you are starting from square one. And be OK with that. Try and see the BIG...

  6. Acceptance Grades for Pathophysiology

    rn29306 replied to Bwoods's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Get a C in general in ANY nursing classes and you have some 'splaining to do for the adcoms, ESP pathophys. Patho and pharm is the foundation of anesthesia. For our interviews, our folders were...

  7. CRNA to Flight Nurse?

    rn29306 replied to rn29306's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Thanks for your reply and good luck with school. When I was in EMS as a RN doing CCT on the ground, it was indeed very hard keeping up alphabet soup for a part-time position, thanks for bringing that...

  9. Extra Edge

    rn29306 replied to USAF0625's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    At my school and sitting for adcoms this year, circulating doesn't count for squat. Don't waste your time. CRNA programs know what circulating is and what it isn't - writing times, making sure...

  11. After graduation present.......

    rn29306 replied to gasgiver's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Land and a house, and I honestly can't wait. Had a great two years in a quiet single wide trailer at Georgia Southern University (hey don't laugh, it was during college and better than living in a...

  12. Successful CRNA students consider listing your school, GPA, experience, GRE et.

    rn29306 replied to Roland's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree it might be useful, but it ain't gonna happen. You will realize that anesthesia is an EXTREMELY SMALL world and no one is dying to identify themselves on the internet. I have already given...

  14. CRNA to Flight Nurse?

    rn29306 replied to rn29306's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I see your point, hope others don't think that way also. It couldn't be a full-time gig. I certainly hope there are part-time flight positions available after anesthesia school. Negatory on coming...

  15. Nasty medical students

    rn29306 replied to Tony35NYC's topic in General Nursing

    And you wonder where the attitude comes from? Follow this link and see what Canadian med students have to say about the nursing profession....

  16. CRNA to Flight Nurse?

    rn29306 replied to rn29306's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Man I appreciate the response. While anesthesia is the best decision I have ever done, you know how EMS is and it just doesn't leave your blood. I figured my past + CRNA education would put me pretty...

  17. Do CRNA programs favor male applicants?

    rn29306 replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Males in nursing traditionally go into the OR, ED, cath labs, and ICUs - where the paced is varied and usually fast. I think males are drawn to the CRNA environment for the same reasons, plus the...

    rn29306 replied to badass's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Moderators, please allow this link to stay up. I cannot type this again. I am not trying to incite a flame war on another website, but please don't make me type this again. It is an excellent response...

  19. Purchasing a PNS

    rn29306 replied to sonessrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You want an objective standard for testing a PNS? Tetorifice in the underarm area on a coworker on the highest rating. Try that sometime. Coworker did it to me and for 1 year had to wear the unit's...

  20. Typing service?

    rn29306 replied to badgernurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Handwriting conveys to the person reading it a sense of individualism and personality if pulled off correctly. Typing on a form is tacky and lacks individuality. Just my two cents. Your resume is the...
