1. Shadowing a CRNA

   ICUsleep23 replied to icu2crna's topic in SRNA

   I actually started by contacting the career advancement department at my hospital who then directed me to the manager of the OR via email. She was more than happy to coordinate an opportunity for me to shadow a CRNA, and helped me schedule a time to ...

2. Greetings

   ICUsleep23 replied to Robb911's topic in SRNA

   Two people in my class are flight RNs! Depends on the program. I contacted a few program directors a few years before I applied, and I kept up my rapport with them. I was accepted to the best program for me. Keep those contacts up and start thinking ...

3. Pre-CRNA Coaching needed. I graduate BSN in May!

   ICUsleep23 replied to blongor's topic in SRNA

   TU RN: you sound a lot like me, and I was accepted to CRNA school this year. The first round of applications I sent in a few years ago was a big learning experience for me and all the rejections were very disheartening. However, I was determined not ...

4. Interview attire

   ICUsleep23 replied to wannapassgas's topic in SRNA

   My written interview subject was an ICU case study. It wasn't anything that I needed to study for, it was based on ICU knowledge and critical thinking skills that you already have as an ICU nurse. It wasn't bad. The questions I was asked at two diffe...

5. Best CRNA programs

   ICUsleep23 replied to muesli's topic in SRNA

   The best advice is to speak to the program director and to students from the programs you are interested in. Every program is different in what they expect from applicants. The general AANA requirements are just the tip of the iceberg for some progra...

6. Interview attire

   ICUsleep23 replied to wannapassgas's topic in SRNA

   I went to two different interviews and in both EVERYBODY (guys and gals) wore a suit, boy was I glad I had splurged one one too! I know if I had walked into a room full of suits and wasn't wearing one myself it would have temporarily knocked my confi...

10. "Expiration" dates on pre-requisite courses?

    ICUsleep23 replied to HenryH's topic in SRNA

    This is a very program-specific question. Research the program or programs you are interested in attending and use that as a basis for your decision-making. Some programs do not have science class expiration dates, they just want to see that you perf...

11. considering crna school after bsn

    ICUsleep23 replied to JessyPaige_93's topic in SRNA

    Agreed (about the misinformation part). Where I live, NP's in general practice areas make less than I do as a staff nurse. I work with a lot of nurses who are in NP programs right now, and though a portion of classes can be online, there is still a l...

12. Need Advice Please-CRNA vs. NP situation

    ICUsleep23 replied to Lady With The Lamp's topic in SRNA

    You sound like you already know you would regret not becoming a CRNA. Though I know it seems scary to have to choose between your career and a promising relationship; you need to think of yourself first. I agree with the first commenter, relationship...

    ICUsleep23 replied to nurse111's topic in SRNA

    I'm sorry to hear that. That seems early for a rejection letter from Rosalind Franklin already, did you interview early?
