1. Loma Linda Interview - Starting Fall 2012

   Hartley replied to bmobSRNA2015's topic in SRNA

   I don't believe they favor local applicants more so. HSRT test was like any other IQ test, I think that most any applicant to Loma Linda regardless of the program has to take it. There is no way to study for it, so don't worry. The HSRT is pretty mu...

2. OG tubes......

   Hartley replied to ruler of kolob's topic in CRNA

   Okay okay, OG Tubes are a "best practice" type of thing is what I was trying to imply.

3. OG tubes......

   Hartley replied to ruler of kolob's topic in CRNA

   Only when they are intubated? Or is just everyone just getting tubes dropped into them? I would assume its protocol to have an OG thrown in with an ET tube to prevent aspiration of gastric contents.

4. Need Some CRNA Future Insight

   Hartley replied to JKearns87's topic in SRNA

   Sure I suppose you could say that, and in reality you could probably find some truth in that. However, you could probably say that about any profession. The bigger issue though is probably the changing face of healthcare and the shape of the economy ...

5. Psych NP to CRNA

   Hartley replied to DrZaphod's topic in CRNA

   If its any consolation im sure that you would easily get right into school after a year. Your biggest issue is going to be to convince your ICU unit to let you work there knowing that you will be leaving soon.

6. Cant stop thinking about it

   Hartley replied to JUSTanLPN's topic in SRNA

8. Organic Chem...Intro?

   Hartley posted a topic in SRNA

   I know it seems to vary from program to program but would anyone recommend taking an intro/survey of organic/bio chem class? Does anyone have any knowledge of whether this would satisfy CRNA school requirements. My BSN degree did not include any che...

9. How do schools view/accept classes which are retaken?

   Hartley replied to Hartley's topic in SRNA

   I do agree that retaking them would be to my advantage, yet i cant help but try and evaluate the whole picture, will these classes be the deciding factor in acceptance or not? Is it worth it to concentrate on these or try to pick up some organic chem...

    Hartley replied to Hartley's topic in SRNA

    They are undergrad glasses, im taking at kellogg community college here in MI. However they are online, so it seems that retaking them is actually possible while working full time, however, it they may require quite a large time commitment.

    I'm currently pursuing the CRNA route. I've just completed my BSN and my overall GPA around 3.5 or so. My question pertains to retaking of sciences classes, specifically Anatomy and Physiology. I'm enrolled to retake them both starting the September ...

15. Lying about wanting to become a CRNA to Managers?

    Hartley posted a topic in SRNA

    Well here is my question, i have a few ICU positions that have opened and have scheduled interviews with me. I am between a rock and a hard place, if i tell them the truth that i will begin applying for CRNA schools in 2 years, they may not hire me. ...
