  1. For All SRNA's/ RRNA's

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

    Started my second semester at TWU. First exam this past Friday, second exam this Friday, and one about each week until finals in May. I'll finish December 2007. For fun....go to the club house for a...

  3. Starting TWU Fall 2006?

    jenniek replied to lonestargas's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You won't regret attending TWU. I'm in my second semester and have no regrets at all! Congrats and welcome to TWU.

  4. What to know BEFORE school...

    jenniek replied to denverlover's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good point, Focker. Try to calculate your financial needs. As far as learning anesthesia related stuff, relax. You will be pounding the books when you start school. Enjoy your freedom now.

  5. Tuition reimbursement with first CRNA job.

    jenniek posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My husband and I are trying to plan our finances for the remaining two years of my CRNA program. I did a search on this forum, but did not come up with my answer. I realize each employer may be...

  6. ICU experience for CRNA school

    jenniek replied to Katie612's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Some schools will accept you with peds experience, others won't. Check out the schools you are interested in applying to and see if they specifically state "no peds experience accepted' or if their...

  7. twu clinical sites???

    jenniek replied to mumbatex's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not at a TX clinical site, but I've heard the Harris is quite good. I've heard the same of JPS. I have not worked/lived in the area long enough to know what is the best, but hopefully those two...

  8. Sheridan Healthcare

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

    Sigma, We enjoyed the talk from our distance sites...are they only located in Florida? I missed a portion of the discussion. Was the food good? They are wooing you guys good. have a beer at the...

  9. Hey, you CRNAs!...Any former Surg Techs?

    jenniek replied to LuvMyGamecocks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I finished my BSN in May 2005 and started anesthesia school in August 2005, so it's possible. The only concern for me was if I was on track to finish. I did have 6 years of ICU experience during my...

  10. Hey, you CRNAs!...Any former Surg Techs?

    jenniek replied to LuvMyGamecocks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have worked in the OR as a scrub/circulating nurse. It will help as far as knowing how to respect the sterile field and how things work in the OR. Remember you will need to have at least one year of...

  11. What do you like/dislike about your program?

    jenniek replied to sn2bcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Another thought regarding integrated vs. front loaded programs. If you are a marginal student or are worried about being overloaded with full-time class work, an integrated may benefit you. It cuts...

  12. High School Student Looking for Input on CRNA's

    jenniek replied to KarlaSue's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Kiteman, by chance have you strolled over from the doctor

  13. High School Student Looking for Input on CRNA's

    jenniek replied to KarlaSue's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    AANA required one year of critical care experience. The students in my program have anywhere from a year to 20 years. I have 8 years of experience, 6 in critical

  14. Any good Radiology site to practice CXR's.

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

    This site is pretty cool, not only for radiology, but gross anatomy. http://www.netanatomy.com/ You can click on the 'labels' icon to show identifying anatomy on the x-rays.

  15. TCU/Wesleyan Interviews

    jenniek replied to TX ICU RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes. I interviewed at two different clinical sites for TWU (these clinical sites do the interviews rather than at Fort Worth). It is a learning experience, like nothing I've done before. You are...

  16. Tuition reimbursement with first CRNA job.

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

    That is my plan. I WILL NOT sign on with a group...but am wanting to know what type of tuition repayment plans CRNA's have at their current jobs.

  17. Question re Post-Op Amnesia

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

    The blood could actually be betadine from being prepped, often when it dries it looks like blood. Or if you had a central line placed in your neck, it could easily be from that. As far as your...

  18. Tuition reimbursement with first CRNA job.

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

    I'm hoping to have loans in the amount of tuition only, so I think I will be able to swing it. I have friends who have signed on for $50,000 to work over five years, with $10,000 a year for loans,...

  19. Does anyone work?

    jenniek replied to KannRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would not recommend it, at all. School is a full time job and even if you don't think you will study all the time, you need some down time. Work wouldn't be down time for me.

  20. Classes conducive to learning anesthesia?

    jenniek replied to Ekklesia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As long as your grades are competitive right now with your regular classes, I wouldn't take any more classes. That's my opinion, others may have more insight! Good luck,

  21. Nursing process and CRNA,and stress level?

    jenniek replied to aaac's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not stupid questions at all. I suggest shadowing a CRNA at your hospital or a local hospital to see what their day is like.

  22. Tuition reimbursement with first CRNA job.

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

    I'm not planning to sign up with a group now, as I do not know where we will end up moving when I'm done with school. What I'm wondering about is when I'm negotiating for my first job as a CRNA (in 2...

  23. TCU/Wesleyan Interviews

    jenniek replied to TX ICU RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    wannab, Do a search in this forum on "interview" We've all been there or will be there. Just be yourself. They expect you to be nervous, but not so much you throw up in your mouth a little

  24. Age and CRNA Admission

    jenniek replied to sanibel's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lower in the first page of the Pre-CRNA forum, there is a age and SRNA thread. Hope it helps.

  25. Age and CRNA Admission

    jenniek replied to sanibel's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi, This was recently discussed...and I think the consesus was that age is not a factor if you are a well qualified applicant. A search should bring up this thread. Good luck,
