  2. CRNA Practice in Houston

    SigmaSRNA posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just wondering how CRNAs practice in the major medical centers in houston (Ben Taub, Methodist, Hermann, St. Luke's, LBJ) as far as; 1) who decides on the anesthetic plan and 2) The ability to do...

  5. Anesthesia and Me

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

    The sadest part is that if you ask an anesthesiologist what percentage of your job perioperatively can a CRNA do most would say at least 95 to 99%. I guess I can't blame them for trying to be so...

  6. What to know BEFORE school...

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

    If you can go to a library and get a medical physiology book and start reading on membrane potential and some cell physiology, it won't be too foreign to you while they are pistol whipping you with...

  8. propofol

    SigmaSRNA replied to popbob's topic in Emergency

    This post is scary. Having an ER background before starting CRNA school, I can relate to wanting to get the procedure as quick as possible without alot stress, but if it takes a pull on the shoulder...

  9. Cosmetic Surgery Death after RN (not CRNA) Administered Propofol

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

    I think he meant the patients in the ICU on propofol

  10. Sheridan Healthcare

    SigmaSRNA posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sheridan came to our school today and what they presented sounded really good to me. Just wanted to get other people's opinion on them. There is a hospital in miami (Baptist) that sounded like it...

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

    Arrowhead in colton,ca Harlingen JPS These are the 3 best sites. Most of the students who go to cali stay in cali. Alot of autonony. Alot of cases, regionals, lines. A friend of mine who now works in...

  12. Sheridan Healthcare

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

    I liked the fact that I could do hospital, outpatient surgery, and go to a ped's hospital all in the miami area. Plus, its miami. I have family in florida already. That's what sounded good to me. The...

  13. Sheridan Healthcare

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

    I forgot the name of the restaurant, but it was fajitas. They were pretty good. Most of their facilities are in florida. They have JPS in fort worth, 1 spot in colorado (pueblo), arizona, a couple of...

  14. Diverse CRNA school

    SigmaSRNA replied to asianrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Its also amazing to see in 2006 that people think racism doesn't exist. One of my classmates used the word "colored" in describing how cute some children were that she saw where she was from. In my...

  15. TCU/Wesleyan Interviews

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

    Actually, CSF travels from the ventricles in the brain (where its produced), out of two openings ( luschka, megendie) into the arachnoid space, multiple sinuses and cisterns and eventually in the...

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

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

    I agree with TexasCCRN. I can't imagine having class monday through wed. then have clinical thursday and friday. Having to study for tests in the classroom then having to prepare for cases all in the...

  17. Tuition reimbursement with first CRNA job.

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

    JWK....You work for Emory right? If so, do they offer a tuition discount if you want to get a degree from

  18. TCU Clinical Experiences

    SigmaSRNA replied to ou812day's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm a first year at TWU. Its really going to depend on where you do your clinicals at (considering we have 23 or so different sites and TCU has multiple sites also). If you do your clinicals in...

  19. CRNA program competitiveness

    SigmaSRNA replied to RARN2BE's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To the poster: I would say this. The only way schools will know if you can academically handle what they are about to force feed you is for you to demonstrate that you have the ability to understand...

  20. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    SigmaSRNA replied to srnabound3997's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    For those trying to decide between NP and CRNA, I'll say this. It depends on how much; 1) money you want to make, and 2) autonomy you would like to have. Also, I think NPs probably have a better sense...

  21. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    SigmaSRNA replied to srnabound3997's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It is a shame when that happens. But I will speak from my own program ( Texas Wesleyan University) in that they don't see color. I believe only 11 AAs applied and there are 9 in our class. As long as...

  22. Clinical Doctorate in Anesthsia

    SigmaSRNA replied to Lambert5883's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What university and in what area of study are you getting your PhD in? I'm interested in UTHSCH program in neuroscience when I finish school and work a little. Thanks in

  23. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    SigmaSRNA replied to srnabound3997's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I went to an HBCU and noticed the same thing. In my humble opinion, there are reasons why there isn't a large population of CRNA that are minorities. I will speak from an african-american perspective...

  24. Minority SRNA/CRNA's

    SigmaSRNA replied to srnabound3997's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What's going on everybody? I'm an African-American Man and currently a RRNA at Texas Wesleyan University ( Class of 2007 ). My mentor (who is also an african-american male) is a graduate of this...
