  1. CRNA's and pain mgt techniques/pain clinics

    TexasGas replied to sleepyrasrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I suggest you update your knowledge of how aggressive CRNA schhols, at least the ones I am in contact with, are about the pursuit of training in pain management. More and more fluro labs along with...

  2. All CRNAs need to READ this

    TexasGas replied to janecristensen's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    To the original poster, and all of those that ever took this thread seriously.... The first poster is no CRNA. If so this person lacks the confidence that I believe is necessary to make critical...

  3. Does which school I get my CRNA matter?

    TexasGas replied to MNNurseCorps's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree. Go with what fits you best. The COA has mandatory courses of study and required resident hours of each CRNA student, regardless of school. Congrats on getting 2 offers, now choose the one...

  4. CRNA/PhD

    TexasGas replied to bangwa's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not to spark debate, but As a poster mentioned abouve, Wesleyan will also have a DNP program in 2008. TCU will not even be the only program in the

  5. My chances, please reply with anything

    TexasGas replied to Putu2Sleep's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'd say your chances are great. I'd leave out the accomplishments of the hospital (The top 50 thing). The school will be interested in you and what your knowledge and responsibilities are. There...

  6. Why Do Anesthesiologists Despise CRNA's?

    TexasGas replied to DermNP2Be's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Anesthesiologists are only one facet of the huge array of MDs. There are surgeons, family practice docs, peds, etc... For the most part, resistance from MDs comes from young anesthesiologists and...

  7. how to survive anesthesia school

    TexasGas replied to e14lopez's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Take what people ahead of you say with a grain of salt. Although the next semester may be more intensie in study and might even increase in difficulty, peopl ehave made it. And they did it by doing...

  8. Those stupid GRE scores to count....

    TexasGas replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do not be discouraged. The staff at TWU (As I'm certain it is at most places) is open and honest. Practice themath problems. Study them for at least one month, to the point that you can solve...

  9. Ques. for those that applied to CRNA school with 1 yr RN experience

    TexasGas replied to 2bNurseNikki376's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  10. Is organic chemistry required?

    TexasGas replied to Nursing P.'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nursing Pimp, You can do the organic. It is a name that sounds fancy, but is easy when one applies themself. Organic is mostly memorization of structures. Your understanding of the bonding of those...

  11. Career change: Lawyer to CRNA.

    TexasGas replied to Riptide McGee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This statement could be no further from the truth. AAs do NOT have the same job description NOR scope of practice. AAs are very limited in their practice. They MUST be supervised by MDAs. CRNAs...

  12. Career change: Lawyer to CRNA.

    TexasGas replied to Riptide McGee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do you have an RN

  13. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

    TexasGas replied to paindoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You may have debt of $120-130k, but surely your program didn't cost a total much more than $50k. On top of that, medical school and residency costs some public monies that are not allocated to nursing...

  14. Delayed entry after admission?

    TexasGas replied to badgernurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Please take this for what it is, an opinion. But if you are applying for a school during a said class (year), they too are conducting interviews for that exact class. I view it that if you have...

  15. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

    TexasGas replied to paindoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Oh my. You have such an original idea. You mean you volunteer your services... for no charge? I should call HVO (Health Volunteers Overseas) and let them know you came up with the idea first. Many,...

  16. CNRA schools ranking

    TexasGas replied to middleageNP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh so true. That goes for nearly every type of school out there (law, med, business,

  17. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

    TexasGas replied to paindoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes, lets "get real". Supervision, regardless if you agree or not, is a CRITICAL difference when comparing the two professions. In our state, a 15 year old can drive under the supervision of a...

  18. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

    TexasGas replied to paindoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    But saying the EXACT same thing doesn't hold true. Not at all. The mortality/morbidity rates are compared between all cases of anesthesia, SPECIFICALLY including settings where the CRNA has...

  19. CRNA school without a BSN

    TexasGas replied to bman's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yup, most schools, not all, allow for entrance with an ADN and BS in a life science. I know, cause I did it. BS in Zoology and Chemistry with ADN. Good luck! I know that back when I applied, all 4...

  20. CRNA vs Physician Salaries

    TexasGas replied to paindoc's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    paindoc, You conveniently left off anesthesiologists' pay. I assume that you feel that the surgeon should be paid more than the gas man in all instances, right? You are barking up the wrong tree. The...

  23. Recovering open hearts--necessary?

    TexasGas replied to MayisontheWay's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with RedCell completely. I thought I knew a great deal when I was recovering hearts. I know that I was at least giving the right stuff or doing the right procedures, but CRNA school has...

  24. First Year @ Tx Wesleyan / classroom hours

    TexasGas replied to amandanurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The last fall was basically full days MWF, and you will have various assigned labs T and Th. With study time, I think most probably averaged about 60-70 hrs./wk. They made a great effort to schedule...
