1. Prodigy Anesthesia Review Course

   JacobSZ replied to WolfpackRed's topic in SRNA

   WolfpackRed, I know of several CRNA's who swear by it and just picked up a copy myself. I haven't started anesthesia school yet, but having mock board exams with detailed explainations along with all the other infomration provided has me really excit...

2. Multiple ICU Jobs? Good or Bad?

   JacobSZ replied to runningguy19's topic in SRNA

   Runningguy19, I too have multiple jobs even now awaiting my March start date for anesthesia school. Presently I have 3 jobs, all of which I work weekly (TSICU/CVICU, ER and FF/EMTP). I don't think multiple jobs is seen as a hindrance when applying to...

3. How many years ICU did most of you work?

   JacobSZ replied to mooremds's topic in SRNA

   Mooremds, I also was under the impression that in order to be accpeted to anesthesia school you had to be a nurse for many years in a top tier specialty, but now that I've been accepted and after speaking with other students I know quite a few anesth...

4. I got in!!! Rosalind Franklin 2013

   JacobSZ replied to SiCubaby's topic in SRNA

   maymoh & mikelita, i too interviewed at rosalind 2 weeks ago (july 12th)... which seemed strange since they offically don't start interviews until september so i've heard. i think their site stated at one point that they did rolling admissions an...

5. DNP required soon?

   JacobSZ replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral

   "have you ever wondered why it's so hard to get into medical school, or why medical school is notorious for being insanely difficult?" i've often wondered how hard it is to get into medical school, and i'm currently experiencing how hard it is to get...

6. Shadowed a CRNA? How did it go?

   JacobSZ replied to gwapo's topic in SRNA

   gwapo, Luckily enough one of my ICU preceptors husband is a CRNA at the hospital I used to work in the ICU at, so he was more then welcoming to have me shadow him. I wrote him a little resume letter, showing my credentials, experience and professiona...

7. What got you into school?

   JacobSZ replied to RNextraordinare's topic in SRNA

   ssrhythm thanks... I'm still up to the same old grind, happy to say I'm getting >95% in both of my MSN classes right now that I can roll into pretty much any Anesthesia program I applied to, so I'll have that going for me when and if I start schoo...

8. What got you into school?

   JacobSZ replied to RNextraordinare's topic in SRNA

   Thanks everyone... always open to advice, especially the encouraging kind. So I sent out another application to a CRNA program that does accept ER experience, the only down side is it's a 36 month program and 52K a year, but I'll probably be thankful...

9. What got you into school?

   JacobSZ replied to RNextraordinare's topic in SRNA

   I know the part time RN looks suspect, but the truth to that is I love being an Intensive Care Nurse, Paramedic and Emergency Medicine Nurse. Very few CRNA programs, with the exception of military ones look at ER experience kindly during review it se...

10. Rosalind or DePaul Northshore?????

    JacobSZ replied to choczrn1's topic in SRNA

    CRNA 2012, Like I asked choczrn1 could you look over my other post and give me some feed back on getting into CRNA school? And if you have any pointers on Rosalind's program I'm all ears. Here's the link... https://allnurses.com/student-registered-nu...

11. Rosalind or DePaul Northshore?????

    JacobSZ replied to choczrn1's topic in SRNA

    Well first off congratulations choczrn1! I actually interviewed at Rosalind for the same class as you and had the same impression of the program (maybe we even where in the same group?). I really liked the staff, but the program seems intimidating an...

12. What got you into school?

    JacobSZ replied to RNextraordinare's topic in SRNA

    Hello, I've been reading over everyones posts and their experiences with applying to CRNA school and was wondering do I have a shot at getting into CRNA school working an average of 24-36 hours a week? Truthfully I work two 12 hour shifts in the ICU ...

13. Did you become a CCRN before CRNA?

    JacobSZ replied to HighNursingGoals's topic in CRNA

    Hello, I was just reading through the post and thought the same thing in that getting my CCRN would help show that I was a "go getter" while applying to CRNA school. I believe it did, but I was still wait listed for the one program I applied to. I am...

14. Utah surgeons against AA's

    JacobSZ replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in CRNA

    as for my interview i only answered the questions i was asked, none of which dealt with my opinion. so i thought it went well (laughing). i'm still undecided about the whole experience, nerves got the better of me during my written test and then i se...

15. Anesthesia Provider Pay to Drop 60%

    JacobSZ replied to Screen name's topic in CRNA

    if you look at anesthesia in terms of mda's making 300k+ a year, after a 50% pay cut that would still put them ahead of crna's making 135k a year on average. what this whole initiative tells me is that mda/doa's salaries are too high in the governmen...
