  1. Dealing with non-believers!

    For those that are going to work, full time, part time or casual ....PLEASE READ THIS and have your parents or family members PLEASE READ THIS as well. I have my finals next week (I'm almost done with my 1st semester at Columbia University's CRNA pro...
  2. Lying about wanting to become a CRNA to Managers?

    It's not a question about honesty or not...you don't need to share EVERY single one of your thoughts, dreams, hopes and desires, favorite color, if you want to have children etc. What if someone wanted to have a baby (and take off for 6 months on mat...
  3. Lying about wanting to become a CRNA to Managers?

    4-5 years time for you to be there is ridiculous. Many facilities could care less about their nurses and would give someone the boot without a moment's notice. DO NOT share your desires and intentions. Only say that some time in the near future, you ...
  4. Columbia University SRNA's question about admission

    I am also in the CRNA program at Columbia and I disagree with my colleague. Columbia is highly numbers driven ESPECIALLY the GRE. Getting an 830...well..that's just a really bad score...incredibly sub standard for most schools...especially Columbia. ...
  5. Dealing with non-believers!

    Let him know that sometimes schools expressly forbid you to work and actually have you sign something to that effect I'm just completing my 1st semester and already 2-3 people may be let go after finals next week due to poor grades (who thought they ...
  6. For those of you who are already in CRNA school..

    I just started this summer in Columbia University's CRNA program. I would definitely get your ccrn, take organic chem...and do well on your GRE...1000 is not competitive for Columbia, but it's ok for many schools..better to shoot higher...try and bre...
  7. No disrespect meant but if you give people information, you should check first to make sure it is correct information. First, the minimum is 1 year of ICU experience. Most have more. I will have almost 2.5 years ICU experience before I start my progr...
  8. I would be looking for jobs in other states as well. Basically once you have your 1 plus years hospital experience, it will be significantly easier to get a job. Good luck!
  9. What got you into school?

    If I were a member of the admissions committee, I would be curious to know why, if it is your desire and dream to be a crna, do you not work full time in an ICU? If I were you, I would do the firefighter/paramedic thing part time and do ICU full time...
  10. Registry, Per Diem or Part Time in NYC

    Thank you ! Do they place primarily in the city?
  11. Can anyone tell me what the per diem and registry climate is like in NYC? Are there jobs available? I will be starting Columbia's nurse anesthesia program in June and need 1 or 2 days a week. I am an ICU nurse with 2 years experience and I have my CC...
  12. CRNAs and bathroom breaks...

    It's probably a good thing you haven't posted for quite some time. I always have to laugh when I hear the "holier than though" tone from senior CRNA's with experience. I must say you sound EXACTLY like the types of MD's that nurses complain about. EV...
  13. Excela Health Interview

    I also found out I wasn't accepted by letter in 2 weeks. I'm happy I've recently been accepted to two programs though!
  14. I'm trying to decide between several programs and would like some feedback on your experiences within Columbia's nurse anesthesia program? Are you taught under a restrictive practice or are you taught how to be autonomous practitioners? Do you get to...
  15. Columbia University Admits - June 2011
