1. GRE Preparation and Study

   SRNA-Halothane replied to seanpdent's topic in SRNA

   Don't sweat the GRE is my advice. If your package is good but your GRE score is low they will still take you. I scored like 910 or something that was close to minimal and never studied for it and still got in to my school. Though in my case my pac...

2. University of Cincinnati

   The best advice is be yourself. If you don't know the answer simple state you don't know or can't think of it right now but you would look it up. They expect you to a little nervous. If you try and B.S. your way through they will know. As far as q...

   In my case I have only had adult ICU experience. The only PICU/NICU experience I have ever had was in nursing school and when I was in Iraq/Kuwait which was OJT (on the job training). I believe most schools really want adult ICU over peds. Granted...

   SRNA-Halothane replied to poja_18's topic in SRNA

   Read this link from my other posts on military CRNA: https://allnurses.com/forums/f16/any-navy-crnas-out-there-10631.html Look you are going to have to decide for yourself. Getting into a military CRNA program isn't any easier then a civilian progra...

5. University of Cincinnati

   SRNA-Halothane replied to Quiet1's topic in SRNA

   I am coming from Virginia and I picked UC for a couple reasons. 1. Heard great things from the CRNA's & Anesthesiologists I work with. 2. It is close to my wife's family so when I am to busy with school work she can go visit family and friends....

   I am in the same boat as you. I also have a big move to make from Virginia and not really looking forward to it. The school yes, the move no. We have a friend who lives in northern Kentucky and is gathering info for me. When I receive it I will b...

7. Rank upon entry

   SRNA-Halothane replied to KAINETX's topic in Government

   When I joined the Navy I had three years ICU experience with one & half of those years as a traveling ICU nurse. I was only a ENS/O-1 for 6 months until I put on LTjg. I believe it is actually better for someone to come in as a ENS or a LTJG in...

8. Any Navy CRNA's out there?

   SRNA-Halothane replied to nilepoc's topic in CRNA

   Don't get me wrong guys I love the deployments but the Nurse corp it self is another issue. Disgruntled with the Navy = NO. Disgruntled with nurse corps= YES. Called in on phone watches, collateral duties that you are expected to do on your own ti...

9. Any Navy CRNA's out there?

   SRNA-Halothane replied to nilepoc's topic in CRNA

   I know this thread is old but for anyone out there wondering: jacyRN is right about deployments. I am currently in the Navy Nurse corp and on my way out next July. The Navy has a great program but THEY OWN YOU while you are in school and after sch...

10. Villanova Interview

    SRNA-Halothane replied to montrn's topic in SRNA

    When I interviewed in October it was for the Fall 2008 class. I was accepted but declined due that it started in 2008. I wanted to start right away in Fall 2007. Plus I got my first choice school closer to my wife's home. So to those who got ac...

    SRNA-Halothane replied to Quiet1's topic in SRNA

    I also thought my interview was awful at first. Then as I analyzed it on the ride home and I realized I didn't do to bad. I was prepared for real in depth scenario questions like my past interviews and didn't get one. Anyways I also got the accept...
