1. I know this is a common question, but: CCU/SICU vs. NICU?

   MNrun replied to MoLee228's topic in SRNA

   If you want to have a better chance of getting into CRNA school quickly...get adult ICU experience.

   Anyone else on this board going to RFU in March?

3. How do I find a CRNA to shadow?

   MNrun replied to Want2BeCRNA1123's topic in SRNA

   Call down to the OR or the anesthesia department at your hospital and tell them that you would like to shadow a CRNA.

4. im discouraged and need some advise please!!

   MNrun replied to jdonevan178's topic in SRNA

   You have 6 years before then in which you can make it through a program. Also, I don't think the DNP is going to occur in all NA programs until 2025.

5. I need some CRNA school advice

   MNrun replied to KateBSNRN's topic in SRNA

   Get your GPA up or you are not going to be competitive whatsoever. Many schools will not consider you if you can't meet the minimums, such as GPA, GRE, etc.

6. Path to CRNA

   MNrun replied to new2this101's topic in SRNA

   This is not the norm though, there is always the exception. Programs are taking a big risk by accepting a nurse with almost no experience off orientation. You can go and apply, and may get an interview, but most likely will not be accepted.

   I'm sure there will be. I have a feeling that commute is going to get really long! I talked with someone that is in the program now that commuted from there and she said it got really long when she had to commute for anatomy in the summer five days a...

   I received the form to send with the deposit. I haven't received anything related to class or books. Maybe all that will be coming once the spots are filled. Financial aid information is right on the website, and the office is very helpful. Are you g...

    Congratulations! The deposit is $500. Is RFU your first choice or are you waiting on some other schools? I think it will be a great experience. I recently talked with a student in the program and she said without a doubt she feels she will be more th...

11. Path to CRNA

    MNrun replied to new2this101's topic in SRNA

    You could apply for 2011, but you will most likely not be competitive and most managers are not going to write you a solid LOR at that point. If you start in the ICU in September of 2010, you would have to be applying for programs right away. You wil...

    MNrun replied to erin01's topic in CCU

    I bought a Master cardiology and I really like it....neccessary? Not really.

13. Resources for new CVICU nurses...

    MNrun replied to aCRNAhopeful's topic in CCU

    I admire the OP motivation. Bojar is a great resource. I started in the CVSICU right out of school and wanted to learn more than I was being taught and read all I could get my hands on. Take the CCRN. All the extra work I did payed off as I was accep...

14. Please look at my stats & concerns.

    MNrun replied to cak1219's topic in SRNA

    Just be willing to relocate and apply to a few schools and you should get in on the first time around from the looks of your resume...if you can interview well.
