   stunt362 replied to bmobSRNA2015's topic in SRNA

   Nothing!!! Relax, rest, spend time with your family & friends, read for pleasure, sleep! In all honesty, studying before school will not be very helpful & they are going to teach you everything anyway. You are about to have 2.5 intense years,...

   National University is located in Fresno, not LA. The schools in California are USC, Kaiser/CSUF (based in Pasadena), Loma Linda, National University (Fresno), and Samuel Merritt (Oakland). You can go to the specific school websites for more detai...

3. Loma Linda Interview - Starting Fall 2012

   stunt362 replied to bmobSRNA2015's topic in SRNA

   As said before, the clinical component of the interviews are based completely on what you put on your resume and application. If you say you worked in a neuro ICU, expect neuro questions. If you say you were a heart nurse, prove it. If you say you...

4. Anyone applied to or currently attending a CRNA program in California?

   stunt362 replied to rcon's topic in SRNA

   I am a SRNA at Loma Linda. As a clarification, the tuition is about $95k, the program is 2.5 years long, and my class has 14 people. The incoming class will be 16. It is a more expensive program, but you get your moneys worth. It is a really stron...

5. Labor and Delivery Experience with ICU for CRNA school?

   stunt362 replied to hokieicurn's topic in SRNA

   Your L&D experience will not count at all towards the critical care requirements, regardless of the acuity. The requirements are specific in that you need a minimum of 1yr ICU experience (typically adult ICU). Schools usually allow you to apply...

6. OR/floor nurse before CRNA school?

   stunt362 replied to Dre2416's topic in SRNA

   I started in ER and then transferred to ICU. Definitely the best option as you will get a lot of practice with your skills in ER (IVs, foleys, codes, etc.).

   Sounds like everyone's interview questions were different, but they are based off of your experience listed on the application and your resume.

8. Anyone got accepted to CRNA school with a low GRE score???

   stunt362 replied to nurse_crna2b's topic in SRNA

   Did you end up retaking it and/or applying? Have you looked into schools that do not require the GRE?

9. How do I get into CRNA School?? Help!!

   stunt362 replied to evarg006's topic in SRNA

   Definitely get your CCRN. While most schools list this as recommended, it is better to think of it as required.

10. Science GPA help please

    stunt362 replied to Boostisadrug85's topic in SRNA

    I would definitely contact the specific school you are applying for, as there is not a standard answer for this. The science classes included vary. My school included all science courses taken. No math or statistics included. GPAs in question wer...

13. Loma Linda Interview - Starting Fall 2012

    stunt362 replied to bmobSRNA2015's topic in SRNA

    I think there would still be a chance for 2nd interview, unless the other applicants are just more qualified. Hoping for good news, as this is definitely what I want to do and the program seems really great. Either way, hopefully we will find out s...

14. Loma Linda Interview - Starting Fall 2012

    stunt362 replied to bmobSRNA2015's topic in SRNA

    In our group, there was only 1 person (the other local) who is an employee at LLU. If I don't get in, I'll just reapply for next year. But hoping I don't have to worry about that!! Have you applied/interviewed anywhere else? What did you get on y...

15. Loma Linda Interview - Starting Fall 2012

    stunt362 replied to bmobSRNA2015's topic in SRNA

    I was one of the closest from the group I met. I met 3 from LA area, 2 from Atlanta, and 1 other local. I will stay where I am, because the commute is not bad. I am married, so it would be easier for myself and my husband to stay put. What about ...
