1. Family and CRNA??

   Fish O< replied to CheeseLover24's topic in SRNA

   I don't know about a woman's point of view as the student, but I do know as the wife of a student. We had our son while my husband was in nursing school and now he's in CRNA school and our son is 3. I wouldn't have it any other way. However, we wa...

3. Nurse Anesthetist Shortage

   Fish O< replied to meandragonbrett's topic in CRNA

   I think that when they say 23:1 they don't mean perfect people; however, they just mean people who meet the MINIMUM GPA, MINIMUM GRE, MINIMUM experience and school required.

   Fish O< replied to SBCHEV99's topic in SRNA

   Wow, I knew that when I brought up the AA thing it would get heated. My husband is the one going to CRNA school, not me. However, I have been obsessed reading about CRNA's in general. When he was applying for school he looked into an AA program. ...

   Fish O< replied to SBCHEV99's topic in SRNA

   It sounds to me like maybe you should think about being an AA (anesthesia assistant). They do the same sort of job with the same sort of pay. I don't think that you need a nursing degree to go into that. However, they can not practice in all state...

7. Help with Missouri State U interview???!!!

   Fish O< replied to Seattle26's topic in SRNA

   My husband's GPA was 3.9 and his GRE was 1170. So I think you have a good shot. He did take one of the courses in MSU's anesthesia program while he was applying and got an A, so that may have helped.

8. Help with Missouri State U interview???!!!

   Fish O< replied to Seattle26's topic in SRNA

   My husband is also starting at MSU in January. He applied for the Jan 07 class and didn't get an interview. At the time he had 1.5 years experience (not all full time) and his Bachelors degree wasn't official until after the interview deadline. Th...

   But if you don't end up working there, almost always another hospital that you sign on with will pay that off as part of your sign on bonus. (at Missouri State)

    Yes, he works in Neuro Trama ICU (not the flight nurse) but I bet you all figured that out. Congrats to you both. We are really excited.
