  1. Interview at Baptist in Winston-Salem, NC-- any info?

    A friend of mine interviewed there last year. She said there were very few clinical questions if any, and that it was a get to know you kind of interview. I think they asked her what the last book she read was.... I do know that she was called a fe...
  2. Early Decision Schools

    If I am not mistaken, Samuel Merritt College in Oakland, CA offers early admission for students with high GPA/test scores. They allow some students to complete the non-clinical courses ahead of time -- it is all on the web site.
  3. Stupid Question

    Not that someone didn't already say this, but....the feeling you got was nothing but a normal human reaction. I do believe that the terrorists are getting what they want when people watch and have this reaction - they are terrorizing millions of peo...
  4. Difficulty in the CCU

    I have recently been there and done that - from midwife to icu nurse in a MSICU. It had been 14 years since graduating from undergrad program, and I felt very out of touch with bedside nursing in general. My strategy was to study on my own for a fe...
  5. SRNAs, How important is GPA vs Standard Test for the application?

    I for one can attest to the fact that you have expressed more doubts than you have expressed exuberant self-confidence. Your test scores are in the stratosphere, I think some people may be a little envious, and they may be wondering why you are worr...
  6. Starting school tomorrow

    I've told you this before, and I'm going to tell you again....I know how you feel, I said the same exact things about not getting in, having a plan, CCRN, etc. However, you really don't have anything to worry about, you have a strong application wit...
  7. When to apply?

    I also got accepted with less than a year in the ICU. I had 10 months at the time of my interview, and I will have completed 14 months at matriculation. I think each program is a little different, but it seems to be not unusual at all to be accepte...
  8. Essay

    Well, if they don't ask for GREs, then I guess they really can't even consider your score when comparing you with other applicants. So, it can't hurt to throw them in the envelope....Hmmmm....that's a real bummer because the score is so outstanding....
  9. Essay

    I just have to say....with your GRE score you will have little trouble getting accepted. I know scores aren't everything, but when they are that high they make you stand out as an applicant. My scores were quite similar and I was accepted on my fir...
  10. Essay

    I recently completed my essay for my application (I was accepted), I sure empathize with you...it is agonizing. In my own experience with writing I have found that doing it in stages and having someone objective edit it are helpful strategies. Wha...
  11. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    You have taken my reference to greed out of context. I was refering specifically to the issues between CRNAs and AAs. In Atlanta many CRNAs feel that the AAs have depressed the salaries. I'm not going to outline the whole thing for you here, you c...
  12. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    In reference to my recent post under "washington DC CRNAs," I will direct everyone's attention to the blatant GREED factor underlying this post. This post is also misleading. The hospitals here in Atlanta tend to give student loan reimbursement - th...
  13. Washington, D.C. CRNAS

    Would everyone please take a moment and get over yourselves!!! I am in Atlanta, there are AAs and CRNAs working beside each other every day. There are plenty of jobs. I have personally worked with all of them in my midwifery practice at Northside h...
  14. Pregnant

    Well, when I was in midwifery school a couple of women had babies along the way. In some ways school may be more flexible than a job when it comes to working around a pregnancy, delivery, recovery. You should be able to go back to classes after abo...
  15. CRNA Contracts

    u-r-sleepy - u-r-right too. No question about it in my opinion. I am a midwife, currently working as an ICU nurse (loving it) and planning to go to CRNA school in 2005. I worked as a midwife for 11 years and paid my student loans off over 10 years...
