  1. What are peoples thoughts on crnas

    Try asking your question at www.nurse-anesthesia.com , you wouldn't have to deal with the random responses from people who are oblivious to the anesthesia world. It's a more focused forum for CRNA's, SRNA's, and Pre-SRNA's. Also try doing a search,...
  2. University of Cincinnati Interview

    Check your email. Yesterday I received a more formal email stating I was officially accepted. There are multiple attachments in the email, such as admissions acceptance form, critical requirements, and handbook. I was expecting to get snail mail, but...
  3. CRNA with low

    You just need to be well rounded. Make up for a low GPA in other areas such as GRE, Experience, grad classes. ALSO, figure out your last 60 credit GPA. My overall was 3.3 and BSN was 3.7, I put both on my resume and got interviews at all schools. Ive...
  4. University of Cincinnati Interview

    Thanks Perkizme, for everything. Do you have any recommendations, as far as what to do prior to starting (take stats, read over Morgan, mickhail, and murray). Any recommendations on places to stay in Cincy?
  5. University of Cincinnati Interview

    Got my Acceptance email from University of Cincinnati!!!! Such an exciting moment!
  6. Please look at my stats & concerns.

    I would definitely recommend applying to multiple programs. Applying to only one program is not wise. If you really want to go, apply to multiple places. I've applied to 3 of the top programs this year and received interviews at all 3. If I dont gain...
  7. im discouraged and need some advise please!!

    DNP/DNAP isn't 2015! Although there are programs that are already DNP or DNAP only and others in the talks of going to the Doctoral program only. http://www.aana.com
  8. I have interviewed for two different ICU's over my RN career. During both interviews I expressed my determination to become a CRNA, but what I really think got me the jobs was my extreme interest in learning and hard work. I personally would recommen...
  9. TNS or CEN?

    Yes I did take the CCRN and passed both CCRN and CEN first try. I as well found the CEN more difficult, BUT never working a day in the ER and working 3 yrs in ICU, it should have been harder. I do have TNCC is that the equivalent to Illinois's TNS or...
  10. University of Cincinnati Interview

    Thanx everyone!!! I'm from lexington, just a couple hours away, but prior to interviews I like to know where Im going, so I plan on going up the day before to look around.
  11. TPN HELP!!! (please)

    Also if your patient is on a propofol gtt, you'll want to make sure your not giving them too much lipids. If its already premixed in the TPN(3in1), your gonna need a new back of TPN, minus the lipids.
  12. TNS or CEN?

    Is the TNS still offered, if so by whom? I do have my CEN already, but I'm always looking for opportunities to increase my knowledge (and resume). Passed CEN without ever working a single day in the ED, one week of studying , but I did work in a le...
  13. potassium level and fluid replacement

    I agree with all from above, If you do have somone that is extremely dehydrated, BUN will be elevated, Crit shouldnt be affected too much (its more of an indicator of function). I have seen patients that were very dehydrated get 40mEq of K, and the...
  14. Resources for new CVICU nurses...

    Take a look at www.edwards.com , they're the ones that make Swan-Ganz catheters, look around on that website and you would find large amounts of info. You can even watch a video on the steps to place a swan. There's also lots of info on hemodynamics,...
  15. CCRNs -CMC exam?

    For those who have the AACN CME review on DVD, did you get the disk that has the 600 reveiw questions? If so, what do you think about it?
