  1. Military CRNA School

    91CRN replied to poja_18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi, I really don't think anyone is going to be able to help you decide whether or not to go Army. It sounds like you have excellent credentials/experience, and are a viable CRNA candidate. I am also...

    91CRN replied to JourneyCC's topic in Emergency

    91CRN replied to jessicah67's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  5. Why SICU??

    91CRN replied to GregRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would certainly agree that SICU is the best experience. I have experience in almost every kind of unit. Every one has it's ins and outs. SICU is hands down the most relavent for CRNA training. A...

    Drifternurse, Thank you for your sensitive reply. I really do understand the issues regarding time and getting all the patients treatments done while trying to honor their needs and preferences. It...

  7. Dialysis patients who are incontinent

    91CRN replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been a dialysis nurse but my brother was unfortunate enough to be a dialysis patient. I've read thru some, not all of this thread--maybe I missed a few things. My overall impression of...

    91CRN replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    91CRN replied to jessicah67's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ICU, You sound like you have it all together. I wish you all the luck in the world. Where do you plan to apply? I will finish my BSN (hopfully) by July of 2007. I will apply to Samuel Merritt in...

  13. LPN's Role in the ICU?

    91CRN replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in MICU, SICU

    Dreamer, My history is very similar to yours. You were hired because you were talented and your talent was known based on your colleagues exposure to you. Most RN's are hired strictly by virtue of...

  14. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

    91CRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The point I have been trying to make in this thread is that if you really look at the course-work and clinical/case hours required to become a CRNA (in total) you pretty much have a doctorate. I...

    91CRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey--no fair. This is an on-line forum. I wasn't writing a paper/essay. You JUST SOUND MEAN. To be more to the point--as if the first sentence of my last posting didn't say it all---This is a...

  18. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

    91CRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I thought the conversation was about CRNAs requiring doctorate degrees!!! On your assertion that O-chem isn't that useful in the practice of anesthesia--FINE, I don't even practice yet, I'm still...

  19. DOCTORATE for CRNA's?

    91CRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey, I was just reading up the thread and realized that I repeated things already said--so do forgive--but glad to drive these points home. Also, I wonder why it illicits such anger when an RN brings...

    91CRN replied to VickyRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    91CRN replied to ashemson's topic in Online Distance Learning

  22. LPN's Role in the ICU?

    91CRN replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in MICU, SICU

    LINDARN--I've got to say, I think you are fabulous but I think you've been a little harsh on this one. I agree that LVNs should not be in the ICU but for different reasons--more political/business...
