    How much a CRNA really makes ?

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

    I already have. You need to go to the AANA website and view the annual compensation and benefits summary. That source is probably the most up to date and inclusive database for CRNA salaries and...

    ACNP Transition to CRNA

    wtbcrna replied to CCNP-FL's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Imagine how much easier your course load would be if you could have got rid of 3-6 of didactic classes

    ACNP Transition to CRNA

    wtbcrna replied to CCNP-FL's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As long as you kept in the critical care field you should be able to find CRNA schools that will accept your experience, and since a lot of CRNA schools have switched to the consensus model you should...

    How much a CRNA really makes ?

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

    It is way off. I would advise sticking with the AANA annual compensation and benefits survey. IMO it seems to be the most in depth and accurate information about CRNA

    How much a CRNA really makes ?

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

    There isn't any rule that I know of that AAs have to work under a 2:1 direction. The only time I know that 2:1 supervision is mandated is when supervising anesthesia residents/SRNAs/AA students, if...

    How much a CRNA really makes ?

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

    You have nearly 50,000 CRNAs in the United States. There are about 10-20 CRNAs max that post on here. It is unrealistic to think you can get a meaningful idea of what CRNAs make by such a low number...

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

    You will never get an accurate or even semi-accurate idea of salaries by asking people on here what they make. You can go to the AANA website and get their annual Compensation and Benefits report and...

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

    When AAs are interchangeable with anesthesiologists in the deployed setting as CRNAs are then you can rant and rave about AAs excellent training. AAs are not trained to work independently as CRNAs...

    Masters or Doctorate in Anesthesia?

    wtbcrna replied to commonsense's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think the most important things to look at are attrition rates, clinical sites (location and type; there should be a significant amount of time spent at independent CRNA clinical sites), average...

    Independent practice for APRN's, unfair to MD's.

    wtbcrna replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Advanced Practice

    What the article is speaking to is anti-competition and is illegal in almost every instance. There is no evidence to suggest that APRNs are unsafe or provide lower quality of care compared to their...

    Which hospital is better for admission?

    wtbcrna replied to Jcurious's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am not trying to start an argument, but to my knowledge there has never been shown clear link between type of nursing experience and/or length of experience and how well SRNAs do in anesthesia...

    That is not true. There is no state legislation that I have heard of that has even started to address that issue as of yet. Any talk on whether a doctorate will be mandated for CRNAs at the state...

    Happy CRNA Week, what did you get?

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

    CRNAs in Colorado

    wtbcrna replied to Pgcrna222's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Colorado is a partial opt out state. It allows direct billing by CRNAs for Medicare in rural hospitals and CAHs so in that regard it is CRNA friendly. I haven't worked in Colorado, but from the job...

    CRNA certification after DNP?

    wtbcrna replied to guest1216's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would assume that if the school accepted an MSN they should accept the DNP for the certificate programs. I could be wrong but it wouldn't make sense to me to accept one and not the
