1. may you help me

   duluthrn replied to um hamed's topic in SRNA

   CABGx4, that is a pretty rude response. To the OP: there are many discussions on here about the requirements for CRNA school. Maybe start by reading them, researching on Google, and posting again with a more specific question.

2. plz reply!! About the G.R.E. test and CRNA program in Georgia

   duluthrn replied to MedicalMinded's topic in SRNA

   It might help your GPA if you improved your spelling. I recognize this is a forum and not a classroom, but getting into a good habit of spelling things correctly will help you in school. (Yes, it has a ch not a k).

3. anyone worried about where first job will be?

   duluthrn replied to missnurse01's topic in SRNA

   I have the same thoughts and fears as the OP. Ideally, I would like to stay in the area for a couple years after school is done (put down roots, get some intense Level 1 Trauma Center experience, etc) before moving to a rural practice. However, there...

4. Not Including all Transcripts on CRNA Application

   duluthrn replied to AngelPower's topic in SRNA

   I agree with the above posters, honesty is the best policy. You will hurt yourself more by not sending in all the required transcripts. On the up side, some schools will allow you to submit an addition statement if there are any extenuating circumsta...

5. paying for CRNA school

   duluthrn replied to jmeng's topic in SRNA

   premaseeker-Do you have any more information on the job market in the Twin Cities? I have been accepted to MSA, start in August, and I'm hoping to be able to work in the area for a couple years after graduation. Are students getting job offers from c...

6. Why Not Perioperative Experience?

   duluthrn replied to RNJohnny23's topic in SRNA

   Since you don't (and I'm assuming have never) worked in an ICU, it's going to be hard for you to compare your OR experience to what it's like in the ICU. Just because you know the tools does not mean you know how to use them on patients. There is a b...

7. First job out of CRNA school

   duluthrn replied to MSICUNurse131's topic in CRNA

   Maybe you would get some responses if you moved this post to the CRNA or SRNA forum. However, I'm not sure how to do that.

8. CRNA Schools No Experience Required

   duluthrn replied to utahskiier's topic in SRNA

   To the OP: I hope you have learned an important lesson, do a little digging before blinding posting questions. Five minutes of searching "CRNA" on google and you would have found that the minimum ICU experience (not just RN experience) is 1 year. Som...

9. CRNA Applicant - help? Do I have a chance?

   duluthrn replied to smithbd1's topic in SRNA

   I was accepted to a program with a BSN GPA: 3.45 and a science GPA: 3.82. Now, I took upper level undergrad science classes after my BSN, so the GPA of my last 60 credits showed improvement. If you don't get in on the first try, or have time this sum...

10. CRNA becoming Doctorate (need better understanding)

    duluthrn replied to Nataayy's topic in SRNA

    In addition, not all schools will have switched to a doctorate level program by 2015. Schools that are not associated with a school of nursing have until 2025 to switch.

11. Help I think the charge nurse wants me out

    duluthrn replied to AJ1980's topic in Relations

    OP, have things gotten better? You began this thread a month ago, have you taken any advice given on the topic and how did it work? Hope things are better.

12. This really makes me angry!!!!

    duluthrn replied to Seda8OR's topic in CRNA

    If you are truly unable to let it go, I think an option is to call the school and let them know students are stealing tests, so that it can be prevented in the future. But I agree that there is nothing that can be done to the students from your class...

13. Most important undergrad classes for admission

    duluthrn replied to PavementRN's topic in SRNA

    I was just accepted to a CRNA program, my BSN GPA: 3.45, science GPA: 3.82, and the program didn't require the GRE. When I interviewed, they mentioned that they liked I had taken upper level classes in chemistry and biology, specifically biochemistry...

15. Average age of SRNA?

    duluthrn replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in SRNA

    I will be starting school in August 2012 at the age of 27, and finish right before my 30th birthday. At least I will still be 29 when I graduate! :)
