  1. Why Am I Putting Myself Through This????

    I am about to enter clinicals like you. Don't worry. There are all types out there. Just be thankful for the good ones, know that you don't ever want to be like the bad ones. The more our "chops" get busted the better it'll make us anyway! Good l...

  3. SRNA with a problem, need some help fast!

    I have a feeling i may be familiar with your situation and even the school you are at. All the #'s are adding up. First of all in response to one of the posters, no one "gets flunked"....they flunk. (I do realize that there are exceptions to this a...
  4. after the loan disbursement

    I just took what i didn't need and did a 6month CD. After 6 months i needed a bit of it so i took that out, then renewed the CD. Better to earn a little interest than to just let it sit there. Plus if you see that big amount in your bank account y...
  5. to study group or not..

    I have always been pretty independent as well, however with this material you will come to see that sometimes you need to discuss it with someone. So, this is how i have done it. I have a good friend in my class and we study seperate. When one of u...
  6. Compare & Contrast Please

    I am about to finish my first year of school and I 2nd that statement. The volume of material is overwhelming, but with sacrifice and hard work it is possible. When i was in nursing school i thought it was hard, but i had NO idea what difficult was...
  7. Is Med surg experience accepted for CRNA?

    I must say i am with you on this one Brian. I do think sometimes people can come on a little strong on here, but sometimes it is deserved. Hey Brian, how do things look for CRNA's up there? I am thinking of moving that way after graduation. I am ...
  8. Admission GPA

    3.0 GPA is your overall GPA that is on your transcript from your college. After this they will usually take your nursing and science courses and would like to see that at atleast a 3.0 if not better in those courses. Hope it helps.
  9. +/- Demand For CRNA's....

    More than demand for anesthesia provider statistics, i'd look at the ages of our population and the fact that the baby boomers are getting older, sicker, etc and there is a very large number of them. The need for anesthesia providers will be increas...

    It's just like school days again! Wear whatever you want. You'll be in class a bunch so make sure you're comfy for all day!
  11. SRNAs-- loan consolidation?

    I did the wells fargo way early all you have to do is get a fax from the school or something with their letterhead on it that says you will be enrolled full time, etc. If you have been accepted your school should be able to give you this without a p...
  12. CRNAs in Austin Texas

    I lived in Austin before attending school and what i saw was pretty MDA dominated. The cost of living is UNREAL. I'd like to go back, but refuse to pay that much property tax, etc. Capitol is the one group and a friend of mines boyfriend just grad...
  13. reference letters

    It would be nice however most schools want references completed on a form from the school. Just be organized and have everything ready for the people writing your references (prepaid envelopes, already addressed, etc) and they will not mind filling ...
  14. Program ranking?

    From what i hear (from someone who was involved with the ranking process in the past), it is pretty much a political thing and a popularity contest. I hear it's not even based on facilities, instructors, or pass rates. Is there anyone who can have ...
