1. Anyone hear from Samuel merritt?

   gongju replied to SRNA2B's topic in SRNA

   Congrats... how was their interview...a lot of clinical questions? Which school is your first choice? Just curious, u didn't apply to Kaiser? At least you'll be more relaxed for your USC interview now that you're in. :)

2. CTU/CVICU orientation?

   gongju posted a topic in CCU

   I have always been interested in working with open hearts... I'm wondering what type or how long of an orientation you usually go through to work efficiently on these units? I've been working about 3 years in the Trauma-Neurosurgical ICU, but have n...

   gongju replied to ICURN2CRNA's topic in SRNA

   Congratulations! I'm glad someone started this thread :) I think this will be a good way for everyone to become acquainted with one another. Hopefully, our class will all get along and not be overly competetive with one another.

   Congrats! I live in Orange County now... starting to look for places in Pasadena- need a roommate? :)

5. First Job as a CRNA...

   gongju replied to TheLemur's topic in SRNA

   I am curious about this as well. It seems like (around here in southern california at least) that the big teaching hospitals that employ CRNA's will give you great experience and the ability to work with a lot of traumas, but do not pay as well as t...

6. Any Kaiser students out there?

   gongju replied to ICUDOUCME?'s topic in SRNA

7. Please Advise..need help

   gongju replied to edynjoy's topic in Neuro

   What exactly about your neuro ICU experience are you having problems with. If it's the clientele you're dealing with you may want to try another ICU specialization like CVICU or SICU. I'm one of those people who love neurosurgery ICU; although, I g...

8. Any USC Grads or Students??

   gongju posted a topic in SRNA

   I've done a search already on these forums and couldn't come up with an answer... I was wondering what USC's (University of Southern California) interview is like? Is there a panel of people who ask you questions or just one person? Do they ask bot...

9. Why is Physics a prereq course?

   gongju replied to gongju's topic in SRNA

   Is that it? Just for gas laws? I would think that wouldn't require a whole semester to learn.

10. Why is Physics a prereq course?

    gongju posted a topic in SRNA

    I know not all CRNA programs require Physics before admission, but why is it a prereq? I've been trying to think of why and cannot come up with an answer. Perhaps some CRNA's can shed some light

11. Kaiser Permanente or USC??

    gongju replied to gongju's topic in SRNA

    I've applied to both programs so I'm aware of the prereqs and differences in tuition. I was just wondering if anyone had any insight on differences in the programs themselves, say for example if I happened to be accepted to both... what a great prob...

12. Kaiser Permanente or USC??

    gongju posted a topic in SRNA

    I've heard nothing but great things about Kaiser Permanente's School of Anesthesia Program here in So Cal, but hardly anything about USC's CRNA program. I've heard only one thing about USC's program from one person and that was their clinical experi...
