   I have to admit that I was getting a little concerned during the past couple of days re: TCU's latest flamings. Many thanks to everyone with the positive vibes. Lord knows we need it. In the end I believe it comes down to attitude. As for me, I belie...

2. Typing service?

   LNsrna replied to badgernurse's topic in CRNA

   I applied to 4 programs for 2005. None required handwriting. I scanned all applications into pagemaker and filled my application from within pagemaker. It makes for a very professional presentation. It takes alot more time but it's worth it. My way o...

3. Chemistry??

   LNsrna replied to SaraB's topic in CRNA

   It will be pretty stressful being a rookie ICU nurse learning some pretty intense stuff and taking classes which require time and energy. It's possible if you're a natural A student. Depends on the individual. When I was a rookie some 13 years ago, I...

   By the way, I used Kaplin private tutoring. Very expensive but a good investment. Kaplin has many options for prep. I recommend you look into these options. Also, don't wait to the last moment to prepare. Need to start preparation NOW! September appl...

5. California CRNA Education

   LNsrna replied to Trixie36's topic in CRNA

   I, like you, dreaded the GRE. Because of this, I only applied to Kaiser last year. Unfortunately, I wasn't accepted into their program. I can tell that I was pretty devastated. Because of my dread of the GRE, I was not to be in the class of 2006. Aft...

8. Organ Harvest & Anesthesia

   LNsrna replied to Zinobile's topic in CRNA

    LNsrna replied to gwlillith's topic in CRNA

    Reviewing the CCRN Core practice questions from the AACN is the only way to go if you're interested in not wasting time and interested in not getting bored. I took the CCRN exam twice in 10 years and this method was perfect for me. Each question has...
