    Advice how to get into a DNAP program in CA with low GPA

    Defibn' replied to Anastasiaax's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Biochem is a tough degree. I agree with Progressive that if you get great grades in nursing school you should be competitive. You have had harder chemistry courses than will be in CRNA school. As to...

    Threw out back, what’s next?

    Defibn' replied to Lightning Rose's topic in General Nursing

    It cracks me up seeing all these people dissing chiropractors. I've been to them many times and have had great experiences. Most physicians don't know what to do with back pain except medicate it. I...

    Should I resign, or wait it out?

    Defibn' replied to Aliens05's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you so fearful of being fired? It sucks, I get it. But, if you resign you're still not going to be rehire-able there and any company that calls them to confirm employment will be told

    SRNA hopeful with some years to go

    Defibn' replied to ConnorPlz's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's certainly possible for you get into CRNA, but it will take a lot of work. My first piece of advice is to quit taking classes at a school that uses the plus/minus grading scale. Second, it will...

    What would you do?

    Defibn' replied to Hunt er's topic in General Nursing

    If you find yourself getting annoyed a lot with customers, it will only be worse in the hospital. Some patients and families are so great that I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to take care of...

    Airway Maintenance During Seizure w/Trach

    Defibn' replied to MILakeGal's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Luckily, the pt with a patent trach & cuff has a protected airway. I would not worry about suctioning the mouth until the seizure stops. If they have copious secretions coming from the trach,...

    Defibn' replied to S3682's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What do you mean by all the advance sciences in your master's degree? What classes are those? Like the standard MSN classes? Your B in chem is not awesome but not terrible. A lot of people probably...

    CRNA school with 1 year ICU Experience

    Defibn' replied to heythatsmybike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    IMO with an average GPA & an average GRE score coupled with the 1.5 years of Neuro ICU experience that you have, you have an average to below average chance of getting in. It doesn't hurt to...

    University of North Florida (UNF) CRNA 2021

    Defibn' replied to NurseSAP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got waitlisted at UNF last year too. I got in somewhere else and didn't reapply. I was very impressed and almost moved down there (before I got accepted somewhere else) even though I didn't get in...

    How to Afford School

    Defibn' replied to JRoss's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The amount you can borrow is up to the school. Yes, you may be able to take out a personal loan on top of the COA but I would recommend that only as a last resort. Bust it now and save yourself from...

    How to Afford School

    Defibn' replied to JRoss's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just started school, so keep that in mind. When I found out that I got accepted to school, I had mixed emotions. I was ecstatic to be in but also anxious about the finances. My wife and I have two...

    Sign prescription for MD?

    Defibn' replied to TXERRN84's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's silly. As far as the legality/liability - yes, it is illegal. IMO it's not that big of a deal. It's an annoyingly dumb problem. I wouldn't sign it. Technically you can call in all legend...

    To me, that is a big red flag. Idk how you found out that information but I would run when I heard that. Sounds like they deal with some oppressive

    CRNA Question

    Defibn' replied to Owen Arave's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Be certain that anesthesia is what you want to do. In nursing, anesthesia may be the most attractive specialty because of the pay and cool stuff you get to do. It is rather distinct in that aspect. In...

    A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

    Defibn' replied to RN_2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You must not understand what goes into transitioning from a master level to doctoral level as a program. So what? Again, so what? Many, many CRNAs and SRNAs have high academic/career achievements....
