1. Any Northeastern University students out there???

   CAPRN77 replied to vitkev13's topic in SRNA

   I am in my final year of Northeastern's Anesthesia program so I can tell you a little about my interview. First, they ask you the basic questions, such as why you're interested in anesthesia, why NEU, etc. But, the biggest focus is on clinical scenar...

2. Army to pay for CRNA school?

   CAPRN77 replied to robertesteele's topic in Government

   Yes you are. You have to finish CRNA school if they expect you to be able to perform as a CRNA. Also, the deployments for CRNA's are 90 days "boots on ground" but it can be as often as once a year. That means that you spend 90 in the country to whic...

   CAPRN77 replied to summey87's topic in Government

   I have just re-entered the Army Reserves and officer basic is currently 25 days for reservists and its at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio. As far as the physicals, thats probably just what your unit does for "drill." However, as a reservist, there is ...

   CAPRN77 replied to MikeyJ's topic in Massachusetts

   I also forgot to mention that Cape Cod is not too far from here either. Also, there are some very nice areas of Rhode Island that are very close, such as Newport and Portsmouth.

   I live in Fall River which is in Southeastern MA, aka "Southcoast area". There are two main cities in this area which are Fall River and New Bedford. There are also several smaller rural towns in the area, most of which are very nice (Somerset, Swans...

7. Is a community college okay to go to?

   CAPRN77 replied to Chloe8043's topic in CRNA

   I went to a community college for my ADN and then transferred to a University for my BSN (just like you plan on doing) and I will start CRNA school this fall at Northeastern University in Boston. So no, I don't think it will hurt your chances at all.

   CAPRN77 replied to CAPRN77's topic in NP

   I would also like to know why you were unhappy in the CRNA role, especially since I start a CRNA program this fall. Thanks

9. CRNA Programs w/ Clinicals in one local area?

    CAPRN77 replied to Phishininau's topic in SRNA

    I'm quite jealous! I start my CRNA program in the fall and I am so anxious to get started so I can have that same feeling that you are having now. Congrats and keep it up!

13. ICU(as ADN) for CRNA?

    CAPRN77 replied to newbeginnings07's topic in SRNA

    I would say that it would be better to gain your critical care experience while working toward your BSN. That is exactly what I did. I am not yet in a CRNA program, but I do have an interview next month so apparently its not imperative that you gain ...

    A few days before Christmas I received an e-mail stating that I have been selected for an interview. However, I do realize that this in no way means that I have been accepted. I know that several people are granted interviews and are still denied adm...

    CAPRN77 replied to CAPRN77's topic in NP

    pinoyNP, I do have another question. Did you learn the "technical" skills such as triple lumen and Swan placement in school or did you learn them on the job?
