hey - i went last year, and i'm going this year. as a poor senior srna, i plan on wearing either shorts or cargo's and a nice shirt to the lectures. a suit, no tie, to the party with a purpose. sandles out drinkin'! that's it. no tux, no tie. gc.
well athlein brings up some good points, i would not say it is all that. the first 2 semesters in my program were very busy, and i did not see the family too much. different programs are structured differently. my program is a partially front loaded ...
hi. as a current srna, having a supportive family is crutial to getting through the program. it is so difficult sometimes but the end result is worth all the sacrifice. if you love this person, you need to seek help together and work this through be...
just a thought, have you attempted to approach someone at a hospital you are working at or rotating through? the face to face approach is great for any project, or any concerns you may have. gc. :melody: good luck
:balloons: congrats on getting in !! :Melody: hi. yeah i can relate. i do not think it set in until i moved and started the core courses the summer semester before i started the program. i was very excited at first finding out i was in, then after ...

hi yoga, that's terrible! the md should come clean and stand up for his actions. (i bet that's a different story though). i do have one q and i'm not pointing my finger or anything but i am wondering why did you let him do it? as i am new to the OR...

hey - being a srna is awesome. when you work c the same preceptor for a while, they know you, you know them. it's the tits. there are a few drawbacks though... basically - wag your tail, it's what they told us first day, and we tell each other every ...
hey - i too started this semester and with final less than 2 weeks away i can say the motivation really kicked in once the clinical rotation began. there is NOTHING like sitting @ the head of the table bringing a person to the edge of life sustaining...
hey - as far as the prereq - i would not worry too much. you must have @ least general chem and college allegbra. the only math you "really" need is the calculations you learned for drug calculations. as far as the classes to prepare - chem - whet...
hey srna2be - the program i'm in did not require any more chem than a general class. i, however, would recommend taking @ least an organic chem class. we are taking a crash course in organic and biochem. not taking the class has been a challenge wit...
