1. Have applied for Barry last week, how soon to hear from them?

   jen123321 replied to Nancy C.'s topic in CRNA

   I interviewed @ Barry and was accepted last year, but I did not like their program one bit. Anyway, they sent letters in the mail, a lg packet if I remember correctly. They also used email and called me. You should definitely call them and verify ...

   Hello All...Was wondering if there are any CRNA's out there with hearing loss or have difficulty hearing in the OR with masks on. I'm an ICU nurse now on the 6 month countdown before anesthesia clinical starts. I have some mild hearing loss and I d...

3. "PRIVATE/ALTERNATIVE" LOANS for SRNAs

   I didn't see anything in that article that was talking specifically about the tuition answer loan?? It was all about Federal loans, not private.

4. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

   jen123321 replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in SRNA

   The cost of attendance comes from your school's financial aid office...it should already be worked out w/ sallie mae. I called and the loan officer told me my COA was about 55k (forget exact #) per year for my school, but the max loan is 40. If you...

5. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

   jen123321 replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in SRNA

   most places are offering prime which is 5.25% plus 1-4% based on ur credit score and debt vs income ratio. if you have a credit score above 700 and low debt to income then ur fine and would be dumb to go with the grad plus loan when you can get a lo...

6. "PRIVATE/ALTERNATIVE" LOANS for SRNAs

   jen123321 replied to msnursealot's topic in SRNA

   If your credit is that good, then the grad plus loan @ 8.5% may not be your best bet...you should get more info on private lenders and their rates.

   ETS states that it takes two weeks for GRE scores to be available....mine were available over the phone within a week and mailed to me like 3 or 4 days after I was able to hear them over the phone. I just took them this summer- There's NO way it take...

10. Anyone going to Drexel?

    jen123321 replied to tonyccrn's topic in SRNA

    Tony, No I'm not even going to interview...I'm already scheduled to work that day and I just really like my program overall anyway. I just have had really hard times with drexel during this whole application process...I think they have a good rep ...

11. Anyone going to Drexel?

    jen123321 replied to tonyccrn's topic in SRNA

    I applied for 09 and have an interview on 12/6, but am not really interested in drexel anymore since I was accepted elsewhere. The last few spots for 08 were filled at the interviews on 9/10 and as far as I know, there were only 3 spots anyway-and t...

12. 1099 vs standard pay

    jen123321 replied to tilz's topic in CRNA

    I thought you don't pay tax upfront w/ 1099, so have to allot for tax dollars, too? Is there some type of easy calculation to figure out what your actual take home would be compared to a W2 employee as far as the tax...I know other benefits, etc wil...

14. What route did you go?

    jen123321 replied to Conz3434's topic in CRNA

    BSN is alot of busy work, but nothing astronomical. I worked FT through this entire process. Get your ICU experience in the year or two while you're getting your bsn and start applying to anesthesia schools when you have like 6-8 months left of sc...
