  2. CRNA and Military Service

    Go-GetterRN replied to Chief.Diego.Diaz's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am not a crna, but plan on applying to crna school soon. Ive been thinking a lot about serving in the military once I finish school. I love the thought of providing anesthesia to fellow soldiers who...

    Congrats, Glad you found a spot in the

  4. ICU Requirement: LTAC ICU

    Go-GetterRN replied to ArmyTwin's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Its worth checking out, but i dont think that ltac icu will have pts on drips or with PA caths. I would suggest the tele position or even the ER in the large hospital because you could get some...

  5. TCU CRNA

    Go-GetterRN replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm planning on applying to TCU this coming year. Would anybody be willing to give some insight on the clinical experience at some of the different sites? I'm willing to go anywhere, but want a site...

  6. Part-time opportunities for CRNA's?

    Go-GetterRN replied to allusernamesgone's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Have you heard anything about the schools in Missouri or Kansas? From their websites, it looks like a few of the schools in Missouri are putting out independent

  7. I need advice! DNP-A or MSN?

    Go-GetterRN replied to pink.berry's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Mully, would you mind telling me what program you are in? I plan on applying to schools this year and only want to apply to those that will prepare me to work independently. Pink.berry, which did you...

  8. ER VS ICU NURSING

    Go-GetterRN replied to Johnny1414's topic in Emergency

    My hospital wants nurses to have 1-2 years experience before working in the ER, so I would say it requires more experience of the two. Patients in the ER are a lot of the time 'undiagnosed' and you as...

  9. Discouraged from becoming and NP because I hate critical care

    Go-GetterRN replied to koster22's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    If you like working with "well" patients and enjoy educating them, then you would make a great FNP. Whoever told you that ICU is the only good experience for advanced practice nurses is wrong. ICU...

  10. SICU RN, I just turned in my applications

    Go-GetterRN replied to SRNA2017's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good luck on your interview. I know a guy that got accepted to TWU last year. He said they quiz you with a lot of clinical questions to make sure you know your stuff. I hope to be applying in a few...

  11. Value of acceptance to a nondoctorate crna program

    Go-GetterRN replied to Blueskies149's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You make a good point, I've never thought about it like that before. There are a lot of doctorates I'd rather have over a DNP honestly lol. But to be completely honest, I dont think I even care about...

  12. Value of acceptance to a nondoctorate crna program

    Go-GetterRN replied to Blueskies149's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Haha..maybe 1 crna supervising 3 or 4 AAs? I love what crnas do hands on in pre-op, pacu, and OR so I dont think I would want a role like that for a while. Some hospitals have chief crnas..what do...

  13. Value of acceptance to a nondoctorate crna program

    Go-GetterRN replied to Blueskies149's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not a crna, but I plan on applying to doctorate programs. I shadowed pharmacists in a hospital many years ago. Some of them had a PharmD, and others had a masters (they graduated before the PharmD...

  14. Is there any online programs

    Go-GetterRN replied to amos24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No, there are not any online crna programs. You gotta drop everything in your life for 2-3 years and dedicate it all to school if you want to be a CRNA. I, for one, appreciate this because I feel like...

  15. Recommendations for CRNA applicants

    Go-GetterRN replied to CRaus's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'd recommend adult icu, you will meet the requirement for every school in the nation. PICU would probably meet the requirement for 1/4-1/2 of the

  16. Most drips at once

    Go-GetterRN replied to delphine22's topic in MICU, SICU

    Levo, vaso, neo, epi, propofol, and versed drips, then protonix, and octeotride continuous infusions. Plus 12 or 13 blood products. Another time levo, neo, dopamine, epi, glucagon, and insulin drips...

  17. Pre-CRNA advice to a new ICU nurse. Please read!

    Go-GetterRN replied to blongor's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sounds like you some tough decisions to make. I agree with Da Milk that you should stick with CRNA over AA if you decide to do either. I chose to move away from home to a city and work in a large...

  18. RAnking of CRNA school

    Go-GetterRN replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for the detailed response! I'm most likely going to apply to Baylor and a few other places next year. Baylor is my number 1 option because I feel like they will be the best as far as the...

  19. Leaving Nursing School To Pursue My Dream for Elementary Teacher.

    Go-GetterRN replied to alayzhial's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on making the big decision and following through. Life really is too short to do something that makes you miserable. Nobody can ever make enough money to make themselves happy while doing...

  20. RAnking of CRNA school

    Go-GetterRN replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    SweetdreameRN, I am considering applying to Baylor next spring. I see that you have said that they are preparing you to be an independent crna. Have you got to do any clinicals with crna-only groups?...

  21. Advice from CRNAs out there??

    Go-GetterRN replied to hatchit's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Im not a crna, so take this with a grain of salt, but it looks like the job market varies from area to area. The classic example is Florida. There are 9 CRNA programs in Fl. That means a lot of new...

  22. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    Go-GetterRN replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We should have stopped all travel between the infected parts of Africa and the US. We shouldn't have to be worrying about an outbreak in the US, it's kind of a ridiculous situation. Anyways, I'm not...

  23. Pushing meds through NGT/OGT with the plunger

    Go-GetterRN replied to delphine22's topic in MICU, SICU

    For everyday ICU use, I use the plunger. The only time i have used gravity was on a peg tube. The doc ordered bolus tube feed q4, so i used gravity in order to avoid gastric upset. As someone else...

  24. TIPS for New Grads entering ICU

    Go-GetterRN replied to NurseJoy101's topic in MICU, SICU

    When you start your shift, do a good assessment on your pt, make sure all IVF are running at the rate that the previous nurse told you, check to see when these fluids need to be replaced (esp pressors...

  25. Part-time opportunities for CRNA's?

    Go-GetterRN replied to allusernamesgone's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh ok thanks! Guess I will just have to keep my eyes open as I go through school and once I start working in anesthesia. I may consider going to a school somewhere up in the midwest, as most of the...
