4. Mountain State University Program Change

   ivypetals posted a topic in CRNA

   I've seen lots of post regarding MSU and their CRNA program. Everyone has an opinion. My best advise to anyone that is going to sink 6 figures and several years of their life into a program would be to get the facts. See the link below for actual num...

5. Mountain State University CRNA/SRNAs

   ivypetals replied to FINDURPASSION's topic in CRNA

   Dont go to MSU. For those in the program it is hell. Not because of the studys or work...because of the actual program and chaos. See link http://crnaprogram.mountainstate.edu/

6. Mountain State University CRNA/SRNAs

   ivypetals replied to FINDURPASSION's topic in CRNA

   I regret the day that I applied to Mountain State. Honestly, consider other programs. MSU has a ton of problems...and they all slide down hill to the student. You would not believe the things that are going on unless you were actually in the program....

7. Mountain State University CRNA/SRNAs

   ivypetals replied to FINDURPASSION's topic in CRNA

   I want to defend the comment in regards to how good can you be? This program is NOT AN ONLINE PROGRAM. You will be there more than once every 3 weeks. You must publish a thesis. You must study your butt off to make it through...and it isnt getting ea...

9. Anesthetist programs that DON'T require ICU experience

   ivypetals replied to EnergizerNurse's topic in SRNA

   As an ICU nurse at a level 1 trauma...it is of the utmost importance for all prospective srna's to go to ICU....You don't know how much you haven't learned until you go! You will be better prepared for CRNA school.

11. acceptance stigma?

    ivypetals replied to piper_for_hire's topic in CRNA

    I have kept my secret to myself...just because I knew there would be a big change in how my co-workers treated me....its a small fact that lots of nurses seek out ICU because they have future plans....just as I did....however, make no mistake the wor...

13. Whose going where?

    ivypetals replied to ivypetals's topic in CRNA

    I actually moved here to WV so I could go to CRNA school. I am impressed with MSU's program and am willing to take a chance on the "newness" because for one they are certified by the AANA and the instructors all have long professions with tons of exp...

    I am not a new grad and have just entered ICU..feel like I have just started all over again. My game plan? I come home and read-read-read. Get a good but thin Critical care book and show them who is who. I have been eaten..even if I didn't give repor...
