    Wolford College lawsuit update 2014

    wtbcrna replied to OhioRN10's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You should be proud of what you achieved. That still doesn't mean it's appropriate to pair up SRNAs or that because some CRNAs did well that graduated from Wolford that makes Wolford a top tier or...

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

    You do realize that CRNAs do work independently?. There are several practices that are CRNA only either in groups or solo practice where you will never even see an MDA. There are also mixed CRNA MDA...

    Advice for career as CRNA

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

    I recommend getting 2+ years critical experience as a civilian. Then you can decide if you want to be in the military or not. You can go to a civilian program pay for it yourself and likely make a...

    Providence hospital 'let's go' of 68 crna's sounds fishy

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

    The CRNAs were being coerced into signing a vague contract that did not include all the details of hours, vacation/leave, compensation, and would have eliminated the ability to moonlight at other...
