  1. I feel compelled to share my experience over the last 48hrs as a post of hope for those who are in the midst of their wait, or who are about to take boards. On 12/28/16 I took NCLEX. Awful is an understatement. I received 110 questions, and virtuall...
  2. How often do you do nerve blocks and PA Cath insertions?

    Throwing in my two cents of observation because I'm interested in the responses too: The CRNA phone is the one we call when we need a central line in the unit (20bed) -and that's fairly often. When I worked as a PACU tech, a lot of the patients had P...

    Friend of mine just texted that she received a letter... Sounds like some of us might be finding out today!!!

    KL emailed me the info after I asked her advice last semester on ways to increase my chances in the future; she told me to take Micro and and Art Appreciation over the summer, gave me some feedback on my transcript, and sent me the changes as sort of...

    Yes! It's changing a lot! The focus is moving primarily to the TEAS (it'll be something like: score 83-86 on your composite score and get 8 points, 87-89 you get 11 points , and 90-95 is 15 points). That's an example. There's a few other things (like...

    Maybe this will help explain: I was told, when applications were first turned in, that they wouldn't be getting to them until the first week or two into fall semester (which would be about now). She said something about changing buildings and offices...

    Hopefully everyone's having a good start to their semester! I'm now VERY ready (though, I've been very ready) to get a packet/letter in the mail! I just thought I'd throw that out there; patience certainly isn't my strong suit.

    I love that you shared this!!!!! It helps knowing a more narrow range than "six weeks"!
  9. Weatherford College Spring 2015

    Haha! Well, thank you! I concur: hopefully, in a few short weeks, we'll be getting those packets (and NOT letters )! Don't sweat not coming to WCWC for Nutrition. I've had a number of classmates who've taken Ibe, and they swear he's a genius. It sou...

    This coming semester looks like history and government exploded onto my schedule; I am taking every history I need (1302, 2306, and I'm retaking 2305 for a better grade --I took it online the first time which turned out to be a mistake, and it jacked...

    Haha! Too funny! It sounds like you have the Discovery Channel LIVE at your house LOL! It's interesting, to me, that even though you explored teaching, you're still pursuing a career field where you're influencing others --which I find quite powerfu...

    Firstly, don't take it personal, I think that's partly just KL's nature. At first, I kind of thought the same thing. But I've had interactions with her about the program since I enrolled as a student at WC, so I've been driving her crazy for a while ...

    I'm sure there have been at least a few more. I was at the WCWC testing center retaking my TEAS yesterday, and they said they had been "swamped" with students taking TEAS all this week --although, to note, WCWC is a smaller campus so one can only gue...
  14. Did You Know You Wanted to Do Anesthesia Before...

    Amen!! You can do this!! In my opinion, so much of it comes down to dedication and tenacity! If you want it bad enough, you can do it!! Good for you! Kudos!!! Your post makes my morning -keep after it!
  15. Should I pursue CRNA or Med School? (Help)

    I typically just read this forum and absorb like a sponge rather than posting. However, after reading this conversation, I thought I’d throw in my two cents: I agree with the previous posters Mully and SoniaReb: Go with your passion! Honestly, I thin...
