  1. astromorph injection ?

    jenniek replied to lisa41rn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with athomas 91. Make sure it's in your scope of practice. If you do not get answers from your hospital, check with your state board of nursing, either online or call them. They will know....

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

    Lisa, My mom must passed her RN boards, she's in her mid-50's. Not that it's the same as anesthesia school, but it can be done! My delay was getting my BSN. There is always something!

  4. Age and travel while a SRNA

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

    jenniek replied to sonofsatan24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    jenniek replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can do a search on loans in the CRNA and PRE-CRNA forums. This has been discussed recently. If you want to do it, the money will be available to you.

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

    Head on over to http://www.aana.com and check out the accredited programs site. Look at each individual school entry requirements. Programs that offer a master's in science (rather than nursing) may...

  9. Choosing the right school poll

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

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

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

    What were CRNA considered prior to the change in title? In other states, I've always noted that CRNA's included in the APN rules and regulations. It's interesting to learn that it's taken this long to...

  15. Admission to CRNA Program

    jenniek replied to Britt.MSN2b.Drexel'11's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  16. Best area to work prior to CRNA school

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

  18. Money for school

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

    Sounds like you found a good stipend and it's working for you. I can't blame you for taking it. I'd do the same if I did not have my husband and his insurance coverage.

  20. Money for school

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

    I plan to use stafford loans for the cost of school. My husband's salary should cover our remaining expenses. I do not feel a stipend would be logical for me as I'm not sure where I will work when I'm...

    jenniek replied to 30andconfused's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

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