I am think about joining the military, AF to be specific, and have a question about anxiety. Can someone be commissioned with a history of anxiety attacks, history of taking anti-anxiety medication, or still be taking anti-anxiety medication? Also, a...

I noticed that the army does not require organic chem for the direct access program, but the USUHS requires it for admission. Is this waived, because i thought that the Navy, AF, and Army attend this school? Or do you still have to have it? Does the ...

I would really like to join the AF and go their route for the CRNA program. From my understanding is that is the school that they attend. Justing see what all the requirements are. I have only had to take chem 1 for nursing school. So if i have to ta...

Is there a difference "paying off loans" that they offer when some sign up and the GI bill? Or is this what they use when they sign join and we'll pay off your loans/

Hello, I have been reading some of the post about AF CRNAs and had talked to a healthcare recuit. today. I have been getting mixed messages and was wondering if could get some insight on what was true and what was told to me just to get me to sign....

Hey, Well i was trying to look for more hospitals jobs since i did not get my first choice for a nurse extern and just trying to find anything that is still pt envoled in the units that i am interested in. But anyways i saw this listing for a anest...

Here is the thing, i have another student in my class that is a CRNA hopeful like me and has heard that the last 60 hrs is the main factor for GPA in our area. So what he/she has done is waited for the next to the last semester to take 30 hrs of basi...

The one thing that i did not like about the article was that it stated, "contrary to the shabby, shuffling junkie stereotype, the anestesiologists most at risk of addiction are the best in the business. They tend to be young, ambitious, highly talent...

We have one girl that said that she want to go to CRNA school in my program. But, some may have not said anything b/c of fear of being treated unfairly b/c some of the older nurses feel that it is not a real nursing profession; more of an M.D. I do n...

Wallyballie_golf, I was wondering if any CRNAs actually did any pro-bono work? I come from a family that has been luckly to succeced and able to do pro-bono work each yr. and i would like the same if i was to enter this profession. Any replies of h...

I agree with JJRN, it would be great that one state is actually "CRNA friendly" but i comes down to where you work. Great ex. Texas (DFW) is not the most CRNA friendly, again not the most friendly. But if a CRNA works down toward the Houston area it ...

I know that GPA has been an issue on this site and i have read most of them. But i just finished my first yr of nursing school and i got two B's and it has made me feel like i now i am going to not make it in to CRNA school. I guess i am looking for ...

Just wanted to thank all that responed. I guess i just need to vent after this first semster and after seeing all of the replies that state that they just had one "b" and were put on waiting list made me stressed. Thanks again. Wallyballie_golf

If you still have the box that it came in use that. My box came with pading and the box is really not the big so i can keep it in my bag along with my books. Wallyballie_golf

Quick question, Just wondering, how do ya'll keep resp. function while doing surgeries like laryngotracheotomy, asenoidectomy, or any other surgery that may not allow a resp. tube? Thanks, wallyballie_golf

I had my nursing professor talk about how OB MDs can now a day get sued forever if they messup during the devilory, and it just made me wonder about how often CRNAs get sued. Whether you are rual or urban either way i am just looking for what is it l...

I have always wondered what what with the tape over the eyes and other areas? I always thought that some of the areas that the tape is in place would be a key place to tell the state of the pt? So, if anyone would like to shed some light about the us...

I just want to thank all that replied to my thread. Your replies were insightful and informative. Thanks again, wallyballie_golf

I am hoping that i started this thread in the right place? I am a, like many, a hopeful crna. I just came a cross some info that stated that crnas are on call most of the time. I can understand being on call, but i just wanted to make sure that it is...

During one of my undergrad. course one of my teachers stated that she was granted around $750 a month through some fed. loan service. Has anyone hear of this, and know the name of the grant? I know that it is not a lot but is some aleast cover gas an...

I am looking for any guidence for a BSN student that is wanting to pursue a career in the MICU/SICU right out of school. I have heard that most employers want some work exsperience (internships, externships, etc.). Should i have atleast my ACLs, PALs...

I am currently in a BSN program and was wondering if it is visable to state that i am want to pursue a career as a CRNA. The reason for asking is that i have heard of professors, RNs, etc. ridicual against students pursueing this profession. I do not...

Thank you all for responding to the thread.

I have read the replies to your thread, i found that "heartICU" was most helpful. As you said that they won't teach you certain aspects and will be, in so many words, less helpful, I just could not believe that this was actually going on. I even ha...
