1. FIU CRNA starting 2016

   Salutations replied to Salutations's topic in SRNA

   I am also awaiting a reply. I am hoping to be wait listed- I know I need more clinical experience. I only applied to FIU this year, but will be applying to UNF, USF, and FIU next year, if I don't get in this time. I'm looking to move out of Miami e...

2. FIU interviews 2014

   Salutations replied to srna520's topic in SRNA

   Submit everything else, if you have it. I was told that there was *some* leniency on the LOR getting in on time.

3. ICU RNs floated to floors?

   Salutations replied to jamisaurus's topic in Critical

   There was a time that I was being floated every other week to either tele or the ED, which was very frustrating. It's been several months since I was floated to tele, and when I was floated there last week, the cobwebs were firmly in place! It all...

   Salutations posted a topic in SRNA

   Anyone apply for FIU's CRNA program for January or August 2016, or been through the application process in the past few years? I just received my invitation to interview email and am exceptionally nervous and excited!

   GaMommy- Were you able to get everything in? I am still waiting on the LOR from my manager, but everything else is in. They're already scheduling information sessions with interviews!

   When is the deadline? I had some very serious family health concerns, and was a little out of it. I'd love to apply this round though.

   That's awesome, MatyIce! Congratulations. Would you be willing to share anything about the interview experience or about your application stats? I just took the GRE, and scored a 161, 161. I'll have about a year and a half in the ICU by the time I a...

9. New Grad/Hate My Job/Life is Miserable!

   Salutations replied to Ruby Vee's topic in New Nurse

   I really needed to see this today. I'm a few weeks away from my "nursary," and feel like I can keep my head above water. . . most days. I still have so much to learn!

10. Staff ratio, dangerous situation

    Salutations replied to Salutations's topic in Safety

    Thank you all for chiming in. My unit has been going through a lot of changes - the ICU director and nurse manager were just replaced, and the CNO was replaced a few months ago. The suggestions are great- we currently get our own blood as we have (...

11. Staff ratio, dangerous situation

    Salutations posted a topic in Safety

    I am a fairly new nurse (this month will be 1 year), but I am starting to notice things in my unit that concern me. As a for instance, this week: 3 ICU units in the hospital, each 8 beds. My unit had patients (one code bed for the hospital). Three...

    When are your interviews? I am going to be taking the GRE at the end of this month, and starting the application process for next year. I'd be very interested to know what the interview process is like, and what your applicaitons looked like. :)

13. MDC *Generic F/T* Fall 2011 ;-D

    Salutations replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida

    Just an FYI on vitals. I was a little confused by how the lab instructor in my class explained patient body positioning for BP. It's completely outlined on page 104 in Nursing Interventions & Clinical Skills. Amongst other things, the patient'...

    Salutations replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida

    I hope everyone enjoyed their first day as much as I did! All that stress, and I am quite comfortable with our first two professors. I even purchased two uniform tops for 1/5 of the bookstore price. I'm hoping tomorrow goes as smoothly as today di...

    Salutations replied to on eagles wings's topic in Florida

    Hey guys- I too have been trying to work as much as possible in order to save for the 16 months to come . . . I'm going to continue working, but they scared me into cutting back on hours during at least the first few months. I have a few questions fo...
