1. Help with CRNA admissions

   TomRN1 replied to giov's topic in SRNA

   I'm pretty sure you need a BS in Nursing, 1 year experience as an ICU RN. Your GPA probably depends on the program and how many applicants. While in school you must maintain (I think) 84%. 19 years old, are you sure this is what you want to do? It's ...

   I am starting too, Erica. I'm still in the dark about how long orientation is and where I'll be placed. I hope it's in downtown L.A.. Congrats to you! It was a long wait, but worth it. See you on the 31st.

   The medical exam is just a physical that includes hearing, eyesight, urinalysis for drugs and overall health. It takes about an hour or so and you need to fill out an inventory of your health history.

   Thanks for the post. I hope to get either a phone call or letter in the mail too. The medical clearance implies that we are hired, but need to wait for further instructions from the hiring department. It also says that if something happens healthwise...

   There is the oral interview, then the background interview, then the physical. I believe that would be 3 days minimum. Good luck!

   TomRN1 replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

   Well, congrats to you for finally getting to do something for yourself. I have been an RN for over one year now and can say that it was challenging but well worth the pursuit. I too am middle-aged and want to encourage you to not think of yourself as...

   Nothing yet! I did talk with a nurse who works at the towers and she said that after the physical it goes fairly quick, but who knows what 'quick' means. :) When did you receive your physical passing letter? I received mine on the 9th of Aug. I'm rea...

   Hi Erika, How did you find out about the orientation on Sep. 1st. I hope we can get into one of these quickly too. As far as I know, we're hired since we passed all the pre-employment requirements. Keep me posted! Thanks!

    Yes, I think orientation starts soon too. I hope it starts, I'm beginning to like working 3 days a week! I will like the 8 hour shift though! Erica27, I can't imagine they would put us through this process without at least trying to get us close to h...

    Hi, I received mine last week and am wondering too. Just waiting for the hiring department to contact me with further info. I hope that the job is in downtown L.A. since I live in OC. This has been a long process, but I think it will be worth it.

    I am waiting for my start date assuming I passed the physical. When is your start date? I think there is a month of orientation. Congrats again for starting! Did they say where you will work? Twin Towers?

    Congrats on your start date. When did you have your physical? I'm still waiting for a start date call. I had my physical two weeks ago, backgrounds are done. Let me know when you are starting! I don't know what it's like in the jail, but I've hear...

    Hi jin2003, I just had my physical last week and they told me I would know within 3 to 4 weeks the results. They told me the next step is to be approved by the hiring department and the CEO who approves the budget. How long ago did you have your phy...
