1. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2016 Cycle

   AnesthesiaSlider replied to tjones57's topic in General Nursing

   I'd go as far as to say that you cannot trust the phone reps at all. They may or may not be correct in what they tell you. The reason? When you call you are not speaking to an employee of HRSA. It is a separate customer service company subcontracted ...

2. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2016 Cycle

   AnesthesiaSlider replied to tjones57's topic in General Nursing

   I think I've given up hope. While my facility score is 18, my D:I ratio is only 115%. Not an NP. Not faculty. No credit check. Looks like all that "trying to be responsible" by turning down loans so as not to get into too much debt has backfired. I ...

3. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2014!

   AnesthesiaSlider replied to NY1984's topic in NP

   Regardless of the funding available, there are people with a lower debt:income ratio posting here that they were awarded. If you were in fact in a teir 1 facility, then either something is seriously broken at HRSA, or there was some other issue with ...

4. Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2014!

   AnesthesiaSlider replied to NY1984's topic in NP

   Malibuems and phosphorus, your comments or a little disheartening. But they're also very confusing. Malibu,if what you're saying is correct then they clearly do not award the money in the way that is delineated in the guide. It says very clearly that...

5. How do I get accepted into Texas CRNA school?

   AnesthesiaSlider replied to jbull86's topic in SRNA

   Look, a lot of these issues are non-issues! CCRN, which ICU you work in: things like that matter NOTHING to a practicing CRNA, and that's who will make the decision to accept or not accept you. The truth is, your GPA, your certifications, your experi...

6. CCNA Exam & Valley Review Honest Information for Passing!

   AnesthesiaSlider replied to LadyCRNA's topic in SRNA

   A note on Prodigy's "PACES" program: It is a great idea and a lot of work has been put in to it. But not enough hard work. It looks good, and you'll like the way it works. Questions are good and rationals are given with references. The tools for anal...

7. CRNAs in NM

   AnesthesiaSlider replied to DM74LA's topic in New Mexico

   I know this is an old dead thread, but I wanted to post to make sure that no one read it and got the wrong impression. There are plenty of CRNAs in NM. The NMANA was formed in 1956 with 37 members, and there are were 130 members as of 2006 (state has...

8. Is it true that CRNA programs want at least 5 years of experience?.....

   AnesthesiaSlider replied to JoeAnaesthesia's topic in SRNA

   You have to round out your application. If you are weak on academics, you need more experience. You have great transcripts and test scores? You will find programs that will interview you even if you will only have the minimum 1 year ICU experience (C...

9. Baylor Losing Paperwork

   AnesthesiaSlider replied to erc512's topic in SRNA

   Just FYI: I don't believe Baylor's office of admissions is run by the CRNA program. It is a department that services the various programs, including the Department of Allied Health (which includes the CRNA program) and the medical school. Office pape...

    AnesthesiaSlider replied to jlrrn's topic in SRNA

    Crazy! I work at the Heart Hospital in the CVICU. Where did you work?

14. Who else is in Baylor?!?!?

    AnesthesiaSlider replied to jlrrn's topic in SRNA

    Congrats! I got the call too - It still hasn't sunk in completely. Have four and a half months to get everything in order, figure out what to do with my condo, etc. I'm stoked! I was in the Monday interview group. Tell me about Houston. Where should ...

15. Moving to Albuquerque

    AnesthesiaSlider replied to trainer2070's topic in New Mexico

    The above post is fairly accurate, but I have to disagree about the climate. It's cool to cold in the winter (snows 1 to 4 days a year in the city, almost always melts within 48 hours. Skiing/snowboarding are reallly big here). Spring is cool, it get...
