  1. University of Cincinnati CRNA

    Wow, I had not checked this thread for awhile... A year or so out from finishing at UC I would say that my experience more than adequately prepared me for my job as a CRNA. I was indeed ready to go from day #1. I am privileged to do airway/anesthes...
  2. University of Cincinnati Interview

    Congrats!
  3. University of Cincinnati CRNA

    I am a recent UC grad. I would say that I may share some of your friend's sentiments. That being said, most of my didactic was strong--there are a few instructors who are not that great in class. Clinical is a very mixed bag. UC has traditionally...
  4. University of Cincinnati CRNA

    I just graduated from UC in Dec. 2010. I had not taken physics since high school and took the chemistry required for nurses during my BSN--chem/physics is not that bad in CRNA school. All of what you have planned sounds very good. Your ICU is a goo...
  5. Help with advice on CRNA programs

    I am a recent CRNA school grad. The key is to start working in an ICU as soon as possible. Get your CCRN. If you can become an ACLS instructor etc. it helps. Start educating yourself about what CRNA's do and read posts on here to prepare yourself...
  6. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

    Good rationale for choice. I am graduating from UC's program in a little over a week.
  7. University of Cincinnati students....any contracts available?

    Jump, UC senior student with 5 months left to go here. I took the basic chem included in my BSN. No physics. My GRE was like 1050-ish. No CCRN. No committee time. ICU time was same as yours. Chem/Physics in CRNA program was hard but do-able if...
  8. University of Cincinnati students....any contracts available?

    Natasha, As previously stated, there may well be contracts out there in the Cincinnati market, but they can be few and far between. I have classmates who have gotten them from B North, Good Sam, and UC (UC once they were in the program). The market...
  9. University of Cincinnati Interview

    Johnson, I am in UC's program and have about 6 months to go. There is plenty of info available searching these threads on the interview process...I posted alot myself...search and find it. I the idea of a pre-programmed attrition rate is far-fetche...

    Hi, I am a second year UC CRNA student. That should mean you are in...you will get the official letter (along with the list of 10,000 things you need to do prior to Fall 2010) this month. Good luck. PM for advice or questions. You will be assigne...

  12. University of Cincinnati students....any contracts available?

    Eileen, I like my program just fine. I am sure they are all challenging in their own ways--many the same...some different. While my didactic instruction has been pretty good, I feel the clinicals and the design of the program are really the main se...
  13. University of Cincinnati students....any contracts available?

    Eileen, I am a first year student at UC. Your GRE may well land you a 60%-ish scholarship, but I heard recently that they are re-looking at the current policy of using the GRE as an exclusive tool to award those scholarships--keep your ear to the gr...
  14. Map of CRNA schools

    Wow, That is a great tool for anyone looking into CRNA school. I it had been available when I was applying in 2007. B-dog
  15. Quick question, need some advice

    Focker, I am in the last qtr. of my first yr. in a good program. You do not get to choose which GPA they will look at--they are going to look at everything and there is no hiding from any past academic transgressions--they are going to get every tran...
