1. private loans without co-signers

   rockabye06 replied to ltac's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   Bank One does not require a co-signer nor do they require school certification. However, the catch with them is: you pay a 9% origination fee. That's pretty hefty. But in the long run, it's worth...

2. Acceptance 2+ yrs in advance

   rockabye06 replied to Kiwi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   I was accepted two years in advance and it has definitely helped me a great deal. At Rush, I was able to take about 10 classes before the program started. As a result, I am able to work longer and...

3. loans without origination fees?

   rockabye06 replied to tcrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   uh.. not so fast on the Bank One loan. I compared their private education loan (Education One loan) with Citibank's equivalent. For someone with excellent credit, there IS no comparison. First of...

7. Chicago anyone?

   rockabye06 replied to NCgirl's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   Dear NC Girl, Just curious, but why do you want to come to Chicago? I just got accepted to Rush Univ.'s Anesthesia program and I have to be here for another 2 1/2 yrs. I wish it were yesterday....

   rockabye06 replied to srna04's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   I think you have a good chance, especially if you can take a few of the online hard science courses like Pathophysiology I or II, Physiology I or II. If you take a few of these and ace them, I think...

9. New VA CRNA program

   rockabye06 replied to vaRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

   Be careful as well with the Army Strap program. If your program is longer than 24 months (and most are), they get you for THREE years for each year of school. That's right!! For example, with a 27...

    Does anyone out there know if the Navy has a similar program to the Army's STRAP program? From a recent post, I understand that in the Army's STRAP program, you get around $1200-1500/month stipend...
