1. VCU Interview

   kirbybunny replied to Putu2Sleep's topic in SRNA

   Congrats on the interview. Were you sent a letter or email? Just curious. Also, you stated you work in a large level 1 CVICU in VA. Do you work at UVA?

2. Which ICU is BEST for Nurse Anesthesia???

   kirbybunny replied to SIGMACHIGUY's topic in SRNA

   While I usually agree that broad ICU experience will help you, I have to take offense when you say "you will never pass the CCRN with only CVICU experience". Absolutely not true. I have only worked Cardiac Surgery ICU, and passed the CCRN within 9 mo...

3. When EXACTLY does your ICU experience begin???

   kirbybunny replied to SIGMACHIGUY's topic in SRNA

   From reading this and other nurse anesthesia forums, it seems that schools do not really count the time you are in orientation. But the best way to know for sure is to contact the schools you are interested in and ask them directly. Good luck! ...

7. Lasalle, Montgomery Hosp. Program??

   kirbybunny replied to mocha12's topic in SRNA

   Hello, I applied there and was accepted, but turned them down. They pick classes WAY ahead of time - because they want you to have all the core MSN classes done before starting the anesthesia portion of the program. I interviewed in Nov, and was...

    OK, so when I didn't get anything in the mail today, I called the school. The secretary was very nice, told me my letter had gone out on the 6th. So it should have been here by now! Of course, the one piece of mail I've been waiting for gets lost in ...
