2. GRE questions

   Natef26 replied to mitch8lem's topic in SRNA

   I highly recommend the Kaplan GRE Math Workbok and the Kaplan Verbal Workbook. I diligently worked through each workbook over like 2 months (could have did both quicker) and I scored a 1240 on my first GRE attempt. Should run you about $35 for both...

3. Dell Laptop update issues?

   Natef26 replied to Special31's topic in SRNA

   I'm also in the market for a laptop. I was initially leaning towards HP but I quickly changed my mind when I read the reviews of their horrid battery life. 2 hours 15mins or so if you are lucky and very stingy with screen settings, etc. I HATE to hav...

4. USAF Flight nurse school and survival school??

   Natef26 replied to Natef26's topic in Government

   The unit stood up back in early April IIRC. They do mandate that you have 1 year of being a nurse before they'll let you join. I won't be joining afterall, due to some personal reasons. Pretty bummed about it as it looks to be a great unit. If you w...

5. CRNA vs. anesthesiologist

   Natef26 replied to jermaughan0814's topic in SRNA

   Well, how you choose to use your "5 minutes" is of course up to you, but for someone so seemingly frustrated and hell bent on measuring education levels ad nauseum, I would think some down time would be healthier. Maybe go outside and breathe some fr...

9. Kaiser Permaente school of Anesthesia-Cali??

   Natef26 posted a topic in SRNA

   I'm interested in applying to Kaiser-P Anesthesia at Cal-State Fullerton. I watched the info video and it definitely looks like alot of travel for clinicals. Curious how long each of these sites rotation typically is and how does housing work while ...

10. How do I stand out above the crowd?

    Natef26 replied to JettaDP's topic in MICU

    I would echo what others have said and definitely get into an externship into a local ICU for a capstone course. This will give you invaluable face time with a prospective employer/unit and allow you to really see if ICU is for you. I had a very si...

11. CCRN exam?? Experiences?

    Natef26 posted a topic in MICU

    I'm a new ICU nurse and nurse altogether and I'm planning to take the CCRN exam this Fall. Curious to see just how doable it is with my limited experience? I am studying a CCRN review book I purchased which seems great. The test is $325 so hoping to ...

    Natef26 replied to ColoSunshYne's topic in SRNA

    I'm also interested in applying to Sumner for the July 09 start date. They seem very willing to help with any info needed. I live in Colorado so the program was a Godsend in terms of family stability for me. Moving for my whole family is not an optio...
