Fatty Patty posted:anyone a Nurse anesthetist or going through the CRNA program? A coworker of my wife's is about to finish his first semester. He is a BSN with over ten years experience in ER and ICU. He has pretty much disappeared due to the workload. The minimum standards for the program aren't crazy high, but the competition to get in is intense. Also, in the program I'm talking about at least, you cannot work as a nurse (or at all really) while in the program. So that's 2 years minimum that you won't be earning.

My wife is an ER nurse, and recently she's been talking about joining a DMAT (Disaster Medical Assistance Team). These are regional teams that can be activated by the federal govt during a national disaster or other emergency. They were sent to Katrina, and I've heard second-hand that a lot of the people on these teams got very sick due to exposure to all the toxic poo poo in the flood water. Wife is a little weird, and hanging out next to piles of rotting corpses is an experience she might enjoy, but I don't want her to get sick doing it. Anyone here ever served on a DMAT? I'm curious about actual experiences being deployed, I've already read wikipedia.
