SRNA Resources (especially for meds)

Hi all!

I was accepted to CRNA school and I start summer 2017, just a few short months away. I want to get a head start on understanding some of these anesthesia meds at an in-depth level. My drug resource books from my undergraduate are very much lacking.

Does anyone know of any good online resources for studying and reference?

The only one I am aware of is openanesthesia.

Congrats on getting accepted!! You are in for an exciting and challenging journey ahead! I used this youtube channel for studying a lot! ----> Michael Bentley

- YouTube It has plenty of good videos on basic pharmacology (induction agents, gasses, etc) and understanding MOA at a deeper level where you are expected to know. Best of luck to you!

I know you want to get a head start, and I admire your initiative, but I'd recommend enjoying your time off before school. You'll learn it well enough then. What you won't be able to do then is relax.

If you're adamant about it, search YouTube and there are some anesthesia pharm lectures.

My classmates and I use these flashcards Flashcards4Anesthesia. We got them as a class and when you buy them in bulk, you receive a fairly nice discount. You may just want to wait. There are some amazing apps out nowadays as well and the go-to app for most of us is Vargo. Good stuff!

Search cram dot com for anesthesia pharmacology. Tons of flashcards on there that others have made. I made a ton myself, it was a great way to study for me. You can do flashcards or make multiple choice tests or matching game out of every set. Loved cram! Good luck.

Instead of memorizing drugs you should really just start with the MOA and drug classes (alpha agonists, beta, etc etc)

I saw a link to a CRNA school in central CA earlier this week. They were having an open house and giving tips about interview skills and the profession. Does anyone have any information about this? I can't find the link!
