4. Do CRNA's miss out on patient interaction?

   luvkyaking replied to aCRNAhopeful's topic in CRNA

   I was worried about that too, but I can tell you that this has been THE best career decision I have ever made. I actually have a much higher level of satisfaction with my patient interactions than before. You do get to interact with them before and...

   Man I'm sorry, and I can understand your stress, I'd be doing flip flops with my stomach too, but when I took Valley they told us that a certain percentage of people do go the distance to 170 and doesn't mean they failed. I know it's very easy for m...

8. Flunked out and gotten back into school?

   luvkyaking replied to crenche's topic in CRNA

   First of all, I'm sorry you had problems. I've been there. I failed a class with an 82 (we have to make an 83 to pass) and our program requires us to start the ENTIRE program over again if we are allowed back in. Needless to say it's been a long t...

    luvkyaking replied to lifesabeach08's topic in SRNA

    I'm graduating in Dec. I commuted for my first year of school which was all didactic. I had an hour drive each way. It was really hard. It was hard to study with other people, hard to get in good study time at the end of the day, and a killer in ...

    luvkyaking replied to jin00005's topic in SRNA

    Well, what i've learned is, they don't care anything about you or what your past experience was. They don't want you to ask questions or do anything that isn't their way. You are basically an idiot the minute you walk in the door, and if you want to ...

14. Things you must have for CRNA school

    luvkyaking replied to zozzy777's topic in CRNA

    Before you even start, make sure you have the financial resources (loans, helpful family, etc.) to be in school without working. I'm in the didactic portion, about to start rotations, and I can tell you there is no way to do this and work. We have ...
