  1. FIU CRNA interview help

    Nishas..... I am so happy for you! That is awesome. I haven't received anything yet, but I didn't feel too confident with my interview at FIU. I felt much better about my other two interviews. It seems like a great program and I would be happy ac...
  2. FIU CRNA interview help

    On a side note.... I received an invitation for Gooding Insitute in Panama today! I spoke with the director for almost an hour on the phone. They seem to have a great program and really down-to-earth, for those who are interested. So far I've inte...
  3. FIU CRNA interview help

    I agree with Nishas22. Programs will accept you with minimal ICU experience, but it's rare... To supplement your GPA, definitely do well on the GRE. According to the director at FIU, studies have shown a strong correlation between high GRE scores a...
  4. FIU CRNA interview help

    I will definitely post as soon as I hear! I was keeping my fingers crossed for a Thanksgiving present from FIU... but nothing :-) Maybe we will hear something within the next week.... patience hurts sometimes..
  5. SRNA Loans for 2011

    SRNA 2011, Thank you for your reply. I have looked into the GradPLUS loans. I think my best option is to get the Stafford, GradPLUS, and a 15k private loan. I have a family, so I need roughly 35-40k per year to get by. It will be tight, but well w...
  6. SRNA Loans for 2011

    Any help would be appreciated.
  7. FIU CRNA interview help

    Zaphod, I have considered applying to UM. From what I hear they seem to have a great program. I have a friend of mine that is in first term at UM. My concern was the cost. From their site it looks like their tuition is about double that of other ...
  8. NIBP monitoring on same arm as the a-line?

    I agree with ZCOQ72MEHS.
  9. NIBP monitoring on same arm as the a-line?

    In an ICU setting I think we develop the habit of being overly particular to every detail.... which is a positive thing. In a critically ill patient it is important to ensure that the readings you are documenting are accurate. An a-line has so many...
  10. SRNA Loans for 2011

    Hello everyone! I have recently applied and interviewed at a few CRNA programs in Florida. I'm currently waiting to hear back in reference to my status. I'm having difficulty finding succinct information on the availability of loans for new SRNA stud...
  11. FIU CRNA interview help

    Nishas22, Good luck on the inteview at Barry. I've heard mixed reviews about their program. I am keeping my fingers crossed for good news from FIU. It would be awesome if we would hear something next week, but that is probably a stretch :-)
  12. FIU CRNA interview help

    Hey Nishas22, I definitely think having the CCRN helps filter out some of the clinical questions. I think most of the questions were simple enough, but the stress can come into play. It was my first interview of 4, and so far I feel my others have ...
  13. FIU CRNA interview help

    I interviewed with FIU today. It seems like a great school. The interview wasn't horrid.... I just felt ignorant by the end of it after drawing a complete blank on a question. I got questions about treatment of sepsis, difference in Levo and Neo, ...
  14. RN TO BSN looking for community volunteer ideas

    I'm in a RN to BSN program in Jacksonville FL. I need 30 clinical (volunteer) hours in the community. Does anyone have any ideas of some areas or programs I can look for volunteer hours. We cannot attend support groups or anything in the hospital....
