Damn, she's married.

Running joke on crna boards was she would have finished first i MD (A) (I hate that term) delayed her start cause she had to wait for him to come sign off first.

 

[Psai]

Very impressive. As we all know, crnas have been running marathons for 150 years before lazy anesthesiologists were running their coffee machines.

 

[GlowInTheDark]

Forget the marathon...

26 and a CRNA? I’m a 30 year old PGY1...I guess I chose poorly.

and way less debt than you have!

 

[Noyac]

I’m impressed.

I also think we should be professional. This person achieved a great feat. Congratulate her and move on.

 

[Southpaw]

Amazing accomplishment!! Good for her!

 

[gaspasser127]

Congratulations to her. A great feat indeed.

I got winded from my last round of chest compressions during a code.

I'm seeing a lot of SRNAs age 24-26 these days. It's the norm for 1/3 to 1/2 the class.

Total Bad-arse and the accomplishment of a lifetime at age 26.

Weber State University! I was there the same time as her... But I guess I was too busy with school and work to ever have heard anything about her.

It’s not like track stars are the Big Man/Woman on campus.

True, but I also didn't know anything about Damian Lillard until the draft.

Running joke?

 

[epidural man]

I love this story and this runner.

I love that she has a moral objection to first class. That is wonderful.

When you are over 6ft you have a physical objection to economy.

Usually the gate agent takes pity on me and moves me to an exit row when I ask nicely.

If you’re a DO do they refer to you as the DOA? Cause that’s bad juju.

Offer a deal. "You don't say MDA, I won't use the terms midlevel, physician extender, anesthesia nurse"

 

[Psai]

Offer a deal. "You don't say MDA, I won't use the terms midlevel, physician extender, anesthesia nurse"

But anesthesia nurse is exactly what they are. Midlevel is also an accurate description. MDA is a nonsense term.

They feel the same way about those terms as we do about "MDA"

 

[Psai]

Except we didn't invent a term to purposefully try to be derogatory. It's very different. Anesthesia nurse is their job title.

Follow up bump. Comments are full of trolls saying she must have a disorder because she works hard to achieve her goals. That is the sad state of our society.

Perfect insight. This is like when people think there is more crime, just because they see more on TV. (Psst! It's actually much less. Just don't tell the dumbists.)
