1. "PRIVATE/ALTERNATIVE" LOANS for SRNAs

   destined4CRNA replied to msnursealot's topic in SRNA

   Hmmmmm, keep negotiating. I know that credit history plays a part, but as a student, banks often are graceful with loan rates. My school's financial aid letter puts cost of attendance (per year) at just over $75,000. I'm going to let my spouse work :...

2. CRNA vs AA

   destined4CRNA replied to grifftith's topic in SRNA

   I don't quite understand why a CRNA would talk so negatively about the AANA. I mean, if you don't like what they're doing, why not speak out in their meetings? Why not become politically involved in the AANA and help to ameliorate their problems - ...

3. Albany, Anyone?

   destined4CRNA replied to destined4CRNA's topic in SRNA

   Greeeeat. I look forward to the hike. Anyone else have anything to add...maybe about the CRNA program?

4. Albany, Anyone?

   destined4CRNA replied to destined4CRNA's topic in SRNA

   Any current students at Albany have any advice? Either on the program, the clinical sites, or the interview / interview process? I would surely appreciate that. And thanks, Psalm. Freihofer it is. :-)

   Anyone in at Albany this summer? Any tips would be appreciated. In fact, any insight would be great. DFK? I'd PM you, but I don't think I can. Thanks all, in advance!

6. How long did it take you to get ICU experience?

   destined4CRNA replied to Spartan05's topic in SRNA

   I was actually mostly joking, Krzysiu, as the thread's title made me laugh - "How long did it take you to get ICU experience?". But you're right, there IS a difference....working in a facility that has one IABP machine (where the average nurse gets m...

7. How long did it take you to get ICU experience?

   destined4CRNA replied to Spartan05's topic in SRNA

   It took me about 2 years to get 5 years' experience. See? All that mandatory overtime is good for something.

8. Anyone Interview at Columbia?

   destined4CRNA posted a topic in SRNA

   Hi! Has anyone interviewed at Columbia yet? How'd it go? I understand there are two parts -- a clinical Q & A and a formal interview? Is that correct? The admissions team seems like a straightforward bunch...but I can't help but feel nervous. An...

9. Columbia, Anyone?

   destined4CRNA replied to destined4CRNA's topic in SRNA

   I've only applied to Columbia at this point; it's where I'd really prefer to attend. I have a friend who graduated a few years ago and she's had only good things to say about the program. Ditto a current SRNA there, whom I've befriended. And it's ...

10. Columbia, Anyone?

    destined4CRNA replied to destined4CRNA's topic in SRNA

    Or maybe SRNA's at Columbia? Or even recent grads? What sort of timeline can an applicant expect? Thanks so much!

11. Columbia, Anyone?

    destined4CRNA posted a topic in SRNA

    Hooray for my first post! Boy, Columbia applicants are surely quiet! Who applied this year? What have you heard so far? I'm running out of patience!
