1. money involved in becoming a crna

   vadrn replied to ccunurse123's topic in SRNA

   As far as cost goes, it will depend on the program itself. Some schools, i.e. private vs. state funded will be considerably more expensive than others. The norm IMHO is about 100k in debt. Most CRNA's that I know did not have a problem paying the ...

   vadrn replied to kyrn1's topic in SRNA

   As far as I know sreece is right. The class beginning in Jan. is full. That being said, when I interviewed last Nov., I was offered a spot in 2006 two days before school started. Unfortunately I had to decline and wait until 2007. So even though ...

6. Anyone take out $50,000 per year to live?

   vadrn replied to ellarose's topic in SRNA

   First of all, not all CRNA's have to pay their own malpractice insurance. If you choose to work for a large group, usually malpractice is covered. Second of all most groups these days will pay off all or part of your loan if you sign a contract to ...

7. The Wait.....

   vadrn replied to Miss Von's topic in SRNA

   I know how you feel. I don't start until January of 2007, but the issues on my unit seem to bother me less and less. It will be a little "different" not doing bedside nursing after almost nine years, but I will not look back. I've enjoyed my job a...

8. OR to critical care?

   vadrn replied to Pitbullgirl's topic in SRNA

   I don't think that you have pigeon holed your self at all. I'll have to disagree with your OR preceptor. You won't need the same skills in ICU that you gained for the OR and vice versa. Although you won't get the hemodynamical monitoring experienc...

10. Ark State Univ.

    vadrn replied to rayman's topic in SRNA

    Obviously I am partial to ASU because I had a pretty good experience and was accepted. Just understand that everyones experience or perception of the interview process will be different. I'm sure people came out of ASU with a bad taste in their mouth...

11. Advice on GRE prep

    vadrn replied to MmacFN's topic in SRNA

    To my knowledge the scores are not averaged. They take your highest. If you take the GRE and you don't think it's competetive you don't have to send that score, but I'm not sure if all scores show up when you do finally send one in. The schools un...

12. Advice on GRE prep

    vadrn replied to MmacFN's topic in SRNA

    The book GRE for Dummies helped me imensely. I can't speak for everyone else but after going through a couple of prep books, this one fit me best. It gives a lot of tips on how to pick up on the tricks of the GRE. It has a very good math review in my...

    vadrn replied to rayman's topic in SRNA

    I start the ASU program in 2007. As far as I know they are still trying to fill spots. I know of at least two nurses that I work with who are interviewing this month. Their interview is not bad at all. They do a very good job at making you feel w...
