1. How to be a CRNA

   indecisiveRN replied to remeeislovely88's topic in SRNA

   I would start off by reading the 'sticky' thread at the top of this forum called "How to be a CRNA FAQ" (or something like that). It will answer a lot of your questions. You are likely to get a better response if you aren't asking general questions...

2. May be a silly question..does an intermediate unit count as 1 year requirement?

   indecisiveRN replied to nuwbee25's topic in SRNA

   No, it has to be ICU. Check with the school you're interested to be sure, but you won't get the experience with vents, drips or other equipment in an intermediate care unit that you will in ICU.

3. Has anyone taken an online pathopysiology class?

   indecisiveRN replied to iLovemyJackRT's topic in SRNA

   I didn't take it online, I am taking it in person. It is difficult in as much as it is a graduate level Advanced Pathophysiology, but it is not impossible. I prefer to take my sciences in person instead of online, but the same instructor teaches bo...

5. A day in the life of a SRNA

   indecisiveRN replied to rn326's topic in SRNA

   It is impossible to work full-time while in CRNA school. The general consensus is that it is not really possible or a good idea to work at all. Have you looked at the stickies in the CRNA and Pre_CRNA forums? There is a lot of information there th...

6. Online course for Physician Assitant

   indecisiveRN replied to bullseye's topic in CRNA

   Did you mean to post this here? I'm not sure why CRNAs would know anything about PA school. You could try looking here http://www.aapa.org/pgmlist.php3 to see if that helps.

8. ACNP without acute care background

   indecisiveRN replied to JDCitizen's topic in NP

   Just as a small point of clarification, acute care means hospital (as opposed to LTC), not ICU.

9. I'm in at Rush! Anyone else?

   indecisiveRN replied to indecisiveRN's topic in SRNA

   Hey, MICU, I guess we'll be in the same classes next quarter. I just met with my advisor yesterday and registered. Pegleg, I sent you an email a couple of days ago; not sure if you got it. In case you didn't, I work at Rush-Copley in Aurora. Are ...

    Congratulations! I'm not taking classes now, but I plan to take pathophys and physiology in the winter. Are you guys from the Chicago area? Do you work around here?

13. Rush or Mayo

    indecisiveRN replied to indecisiveRN's topic in SRNA

    What?! I'm assuming they calculated it higher than it really was? That sucks. The admissions committee met yesterday, so now I'm (im)patiently waiting for a letter. Sorry that happened to you!

14. Case Western

    indecisiveRN replied to TraumaSICU's topic in SRNA

    I know someone on another board has already received a date for an interview. I'm still running to the mailbox every day. When I emailed a couple of weeks ago, they said interviews were from October to February.

15. Paid during the clinicals?

    indecisiveRN replied to career180's topic in SRNA

    I believe all three schools I applied to provide a small stipend during clinicals. It is paid by the school, not the clinical site, and there is no commitment involved. It is considered taxable income.
