1. what type patient to discuss for an interview.

   11SAnurse replied to sleepeasy's topic in CRNA

   Go with what you know--depending on the program, they will go into depth about it or just skim. One interview, I was asked to describe two with minor questions...the other I was quizzed by the patho teacher from the med school (who also taught the C...

2. book list for CRNA school

   11SAnurse replied to mnurse13's topic in CRNA

   For brevity: Richard d. Urman's pocket anesthesia is a great book. Focuses on specifics without detail (good reference after reading Barash) Mass general is a good clinical book that you can carry with you. Those are the two I use in clnicals, you'l...

3. information about crna, reliable information please

   11SAnurse replied to chelseaxlove's topic in CRNA

   paindoc, in your numerous years of experience, have you witnessed much rural health care. I ask this because I am planning on going back to a town of 10000 people to work at the 2 OR hospital there. In towns like this, you are 'forced' to interact ...

4. male nursing students are suffering

   11SAnurse replied to namzy's topic in Male Students

   Sadly, I know what you are talking about. It wasn't as blatently obvious where I went; my instructors weren't 'mistreating' the male students, but there was definite favoritism--although this is seen to a degree everywhere. My advice is to not focus...

5. How did you choose your school?

   11SAnurse replied to missnurse01's topic in SRNA

   I'm starting in august, and was accepted into three schools. I chose after going to the interviews for each and meeting the faculty and asking questions. I guess I have to say that I just got a 'feel' for the schools then as I had researched the th...

6. Where to live in Augusta for MCG

   11SAnurse posted a topic in Georgia

   Hi everyone, I'm heading to CRNA school in august, and I was just wondering where good areas are in Augusta to live. I'm coming from a large metro area, so I know how crime can be, but I've heard some things from friends who are already in Augusta a...

   I'm interviewing, but at the Dothan module. I have no idea how many they take at each module, but cross your fingers as this is my first time applying!!

8. University of Alabama Nursing

   11SAnurse replied to YGPHNM's topic in Alabama

   The last post on here disturbes me for one main reason, and that is the idea of South not preparing students. I recently (6 months ago) graduated from their accelerated BSN program and I have to say that I feel I was very prepared for work. When I ...

9. What's harder? NS or your first job as new RN?

   11SAnurse replied to scastillo1's topic in New Nurse

   I am in my second month as a new nurse in a MICU, and I can say that they are both hard, just different. Nursing school was just time consuming to me; not overly hard because if you put the time in to study and didn't procrastinate, you'd be fine. M...

10. Whats the BEST university for BSN?

    11SAnurse replied to HisGrace06's topic in Alabama

    I just graduated from that program at USA, and they do accept out-of-state applicants. I came from Ga, and we had many people that graduated out of state (miss. state, lsu, Iowa and so on..). I do want to warn you though, be prepared to cut ties wit...

11. How hard is an accelerated BSN program?

    11SAnurse replied to iluvchocolate's topic in ADN/BSN

    While I did not have children while I went through my accerlerated program, I can say that it is very, very material intensive, and if you 'like' to study (i.e. have to geta certain amount of study time to feel comfortable or confident before testing...

12. took nclex 1/10/08

    11SAnurse replied to 11SAnurse's topic in NCLEX

    Yea--I didn't pass this time, so it was obviously a good indicator of how I did. From the looks of my test, everything was either above or near the passing standard, so it's just time for me to buckle down a bit more and study the areas I need. Goo...

13. took nclex 1/10/08

    11SAnurse posted a topic in NCLEX

    My question is if the bon where I live has changed my temporary permit to null and void, but I have not received any word from them...does this mean I failed or that they just received my test (because it will be null and void whether I fail or pass)...
