  1. MSN vs DNP

    m1lkofamnesia replied to TBLV4's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My $0.02 and why I chose MSN...you're grandfathered into the career as an MSN CRNA. You're earning money 8 months sooner than you would doing a DNP (so, say your salary is 160k annually...that's over...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to mchsstudent2's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Market no longer flooded. Even with so many CRNA programs, there are TONS, I mean TONS of jobs in Florida. Take that for what it's worth. Also, pay has been going up over the last couple years. New...

  5. CRNA vs. MD

    m1lkofamnesia replied to weareone26's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Logistically, it would probably make sense to go CRNA if you are already an RN--that's half the battle. Are you working in ICU

    m1lkofamnesia replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Unless you're working for quite a while before school, have a rich spouse, or have rich parents that pay for it, there's no way you can make it without loans. I worked just over 2 years as an RN and...

  8. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

    m1lkofamnesia replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Not myself personally, but I know of 2 people. Most programs DO NOT accept NICU. Your clinicals will be ~95% adults. Right now, only 40 peds (10 of which must be under 2 years old) cases are required...

  13. Do CRNA Boards Care About Honors Societies?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to RachelP_CRNA2B's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got multiple invites, but never joined any of them. Didn't want to spend my precious loan money on 'em. Still got into CRNA school. Those societies are just another money-maker

  15. Preparing for the SEE, NCE.

    m1lkofamnesia replied to deroth1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    All you need is Apex. I personally would find it difficult to go through 2-3 review programs, let alone one. Just stick to one, it'll make your life easier and less damage to your

  18. Becoming a CRNA

    m1lkofamnesia replied to honeybee19's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lol I'd love to hear of CRNA schools that are throwing money at students! Yes, you will have debt. More than $100k most likely. That being said, it's possible to pay it off quickly on a CRNA salary...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to peterchris's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No idea. I'd call/email the schools you're interested in and ask them. I'm sure they take it on a case-by-case basis. How long have you been a nurse? Are you in the ICU yet? Taken the GRE,

    m1lkofamnesia replied to JAG-'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This sounds like a good ICU position to me! If they offer, accept, get into the ICU as soon as you can. I worked Neuro ICU (had lots of overflow MICU as well) and was accepted into CRNA school along...
