2. Has anyone gone through school WITHOUT loans?

   Pedsccrn replied to Raas4555's topic in SRNA

   My husband and I have been working on our financial plan for about two years now, about the time I started to work hard on preparing my application. Although, I can't say that we payed for CRNA school in cash. I can say that due to the preparation, ...

4. Helpful PDA programs?

   Pedsccrn replied to AmandaSRNA's topic in SRNA

   Thanks for the post about the IPAQ 111. After shopping around, I decided that it really was the best device for information retrieval and haven't quit playing with it since. It was fairly expensive, but I bought it while it was on sale. I had the ed...

5. srna, pda's helpful during school?

   Pedsccrn replied to wildflower rn's topic in SRNA

   Casesrna, I am interested in knowing more about your IPAQ 111, what is it, where did you get it, and more importantly how much? I have been looking for a really great PDA that I won't have to "upgrade" during the next two years of school. Thanks in ...

   Pedsccrn replied to Focused&Determined's topic in SRNA

   yes, schools do prefer that you have adult icu experience. that being said, however, pediatric experience can be a real asset to your application. if you are really interested in pediatrics, try to find a childrens hospital that sees it all, especial...

10. Should you mention your kids in the application/interiew process?

    Pedsccrn replied to lovegasRN's topic in SRNA

    I guess that my opinion is vastly different from the majority that has posted here, but I feel obligated to share my experience. I was asked about family and even produced a picture (my good luck charm that I carry always) during my interview. I did...

12. Question about getting PALS

    Pedsccrn replied to jfk6668's topic in SRNA

    Just a thought....... If your hospital has a PICU and you would be willing to work some prn hours there, they may be willing to pay for your PALS class. Although PICU is totally different from adult ICU, it's really a great experience....... and kee...

    Pedsccrn replied to gasmaster's topic in SRNA

    Neurogeek, I'm glad that you had a really positive interaction with the MDA..... I recently had a lap chole and experienced the same thing, in fact was invited to shadow the same MDA after my surgery. I agree with FLAreN in that some are great, and ...

    Neurogeek, Many months ago, I was in the same dilemma about PDA vs. Blackberry. I went with the Blackberry and was assured that I could easily use it's PDA functions, but I have found that many of the programs I really want are not compatible to be d...
