  1. Need answers from current CRNAs or current SRNAs!!!!

    SigmaSRNA replied to nursern20's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm in my first semester of CRNA school now and I have to say that I'm having a really good time. I know it sounds completely insane but its true. If you really like to learn why you do the things you...

    This is for the poster. I'm currently a 1st year RRNA at Texas Wesleyan University. I will say if you decide to come here it will be the best decision you can make as far as your education. Probably...

  4. Md's Against Crna's?

    SigmaSRNA replied to LLL123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    First of all COOM BY YA!!! Second of all. Texas doesn't have QMAs so I can't speak on what they do but I can see how they can be an extremely valuable asset. EXTREMELY. However, apaisRN is right....

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

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

    Why can't there be a separate forum for people interested in

  7. RRNA or SRNA for title, What is your opinion?

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

    I don't believe any other graduate program in nursing at the master's level calls there students residents. On the other hand, no other nursing specialty does as much call or clinical work as nurse...

  8. Realization

    SigmaSRNA posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It took roughly 4 to 5 weeks of being in nurse anesthesia school to make me realize how little I really knew as a nurse. For instance, the action potential. I was really intimidated by this as a...

  12. Clinicals in CRNA Program

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

    The program you were probably looking at was Texas Wesleyan University where I start in 11 days. It really depends on where you do your phase 2 at (clinical phase). If you go to fort worth, your...

  13. What is TWU like...

    SigmaSRNA replied to dlchap78's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    TWU is definitely in the hood. No doubt. The workout facilities as far as the weight room is garbage at best. The anesthesia building is state of the art and really nice; big auditorium and we have...

  14. Could it be that an ICU job is easier to get just after graduation?

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

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

    Alot of the bigger teaching hospitals here will give any nurse will to go into the ICU the opportunity to enter an internship program and most do require time after that as payback, which is what you...

  17. Could it be that an ICU job is easier to get just after graduation?

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

    Most older nurses will tell you that you need med-surg experience. I went straight into the ER and then latter in the ICU without any significant problems ( meaning I didn't kill or damage anybody )....

  20. Got in school, now anxious

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

    I know if one more person ask me, " so when are you starting school?", I'm going to scream. Its funny how GOD can put you in situations and places you never thought you could be in. That's why I know...

  22. Which schools are "hard" to get into

    SigmaSRNA replied to blee1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Personally, I think everyone here needs to relax and ease up on the poster. Its not like he was asking which school could he/she skate through. He/she just asked which schools are easier to get in,...

  25. California CRNA Education

    SigmaSRNA replied to Trixie36's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I see it like this. If you can pass the NCLEX, you can do well on the GRE. Rationale: With all the NCLEX reviews and review books that you go through, all you basically do is answer questions until...
