  2. book recommendations

    WntrMute2 replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sota Omoigui's Anesthesia Drug Guide is great, It is available as a paperback pocket book and available in palm format from Skyscape. I have both and never a day goes by that I'm not looking...

  3. Question-Open Heart Anesthesia??

    WntrMute2 replied to zambezi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You know this topic strikes me oddly. We are taking some of the sickest people in the community, placing invasive lines in every opening and creating plenty of new ones, putting them into a drug...

  5. silly question just curious

    WntrMute2 replied to AshleyKay's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  6. about doubts

    WntrMute2 replied to B.T.H's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Brenna's Dad - I've been in clinical for over 2 years and it is still stressful so don't expect much relief with the constant evals and all. One of the CRNAs at the mother ship says being tired is...

  7. about doubts

    WntrMute2 replied to B.T.H's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have to agree w/Qwiigley, nusing school was academically pretty easy. Now that doesn't mean i did'nt put a lot of time in studying, just that the stuff wasn't that hard to wrap your mind around. I...

  8. age a factor?

    WntrMute2 replied to Coll's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Theoretically your age cannot enter the decision making process. I'm 46and am finishing up this December so I'm no spring chicken either. Go for it, what do you have to lose, only the application...

    WntrMute2 replied to gooser's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    WntrMute2 replied to ARobin's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  11. Required writing assignments

    WntrMute2 replied to ARobin's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  13. med school vs. CRNA

    WntrMute2 replied to ariel26's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I tend to agree with the sentiments above. However, you need to consider whether you are a nurse or a doc. There is a difference not just in who gets to do what as Tenesma & I debated quite a...

  14. Difference between MSN and MSA degree.

    WntrMute2 replied to szoozoo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Many days a week the first couple of semesters but as a senior I only see them 1X weekly. Beats many other options. Give the school a call for details, all are very nice and friendly. Wayne has...

  15. Difference between MSN and MSA degree.

    WntrMute2 replied to szoozoo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I happen to be at Wayne State currently (senior). I see you are in Toledo. Do you know you can do your clinicals there in Toledo and only come to Wayne for class? Great program

  16. Question for CRNAs and SRNAs

    WntrMute2 replied to New CCU RN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I happened to have loved my bedside nursing job. I worked in a very busy trauma ICU with great people, docs included. They listened to the nurses, respected us and worked along side us to save...

  17. Overwhelmed SRNAs

    WntrMute2 replied to loisane's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Most schools give real time off every six months, but your correct that semester breaks just mean clinicals 5 days a week instead of

  19. Overwhelmed SRNAs

    WntrMute2 replied to loisane's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Keep your chin up, the first 2 semesters were the worst, a bit better the third and the forth (wrapping up Friday) was not bad at all. I guess we'll see after finals. After Friday, 2 semesters to...

  21. Barry University in Florida

    WntrMute2 replied to Reg911's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I graduated from Barry's nursing school and have friends that went to Barry's NA program so I'll pass on what I know. First, the program did not have a good reputation when i moved 2 years ago. They...

  22. I got a C in pharm

    WntrMute2 replied to just graduating's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would suggest you take that puppy over. in my nursing class a C in a nursing course was not passing. Many, many graduate schools have similar requirements. 100-94% = A, 93-87 = B, less than that...

  23. inserting invasive lines in school

    WntrMute2 replied to MTM's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    in answer to Emeral'ds question, it is very, very common for hospitals to restrict CRNAs practice. State regulation allows you to do what you've been trained to do (generally) but they don't restrict...

  24. inserting invasive lines in school

    WntrMute2 replied to MTM's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My school does teach line insertion at some of the clinical sites. As I look at places to work, most do not want CRNAs doing lines. (A-lines are usually done by CRNAs). So I think that it is not a...

  25. Horrible experience

    WntrMute2 replied to Tia's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have to aggree with Global, very rude and unproffessional. All of my interviews had big panels (as big as 12) but very polite and interested in general with what I had to say. Find another program...
