  1. Meyers Brigg, Have you done it?

    I'm an ISFJ! I have worked in various-specialty adult ICU for almost 4 years now.
  2. Kaiser anesthesia (kpsan) 2018

    I was told during the phone counseling session that there would be less spots if the program did indeed transition over to DNP. So there will definitely be less than 40, probably closer to 30 or even less!
  3. Rush University CRNA Program 2018

    Has anyone gotten their RUConnected student portal access fixed yet? Or gotten their financial aid package? I thought I saw in an e-mail we were supposed to get our packages a few weeks after admission.. Thanks!
  4. It is perfectly normal to worry about not making it in ICU. I started as a new grad into a Neuro/Trauma ICU, as do many brand spankin' new nurses. You will gain SO much medical experience from being in ICU, and your 10 months of psych experience can ...
  5. Part time RN pay for Night Shifts at Kaiser Richmond

    Out of curiosity, how much was the pay? Currently looking at a job at Kaiser in NorCal. Thank you so much!
  6. shocking news about Kaiser's program

    They mentioned this during my counseling session. If you are applying, you must have gone through the same counseling session. But yes.. I guess it's really happening! Still one of the most affordable programs.
  7. How much did you save before CRNA school?

    Everyone, I just wanted to say thank you so much for your answers so far. I was REALLY nervous and starting to think there was no way I could go to CRNA school if I had to take out just about everything in loans/financial aid. I feel so empowered and...
  8. How much did you save before CRNA school?

    50k? 100k? 20k? 10k? Nothing? I'm going to CRNA school next year and I've heard all over the spectrum.. some people paid totally out of pocket (I applaud you), whereas many borrowed up to the total cost of attendance (tuition + living expenses). The ...
  9. Preparing families for EOL

    Hi guys! I have a question for you Hospice nurses out there who probably deal with a fair amount of end of life/withdrawal of care situations. I am an ICU nurse. I have learned over time that I am extremely awkward with families when it comes to EOL....
  10. Duke CRNA FAll 2018

    Hi guys! I received an invitation to interview as well. Has anyone heard anything about Duke's financial aid packages (if they're competitive in general and in comparison to other CRNA schools)? Thanks :)
  11. Duke CRNA Fall 2017

    Hi everyone! Congratulations on getting in to Duke CRNA program, that's so incredible!! I've been asked to interview for the 2018 program. I'm curious to know how competitive Duke's Financial Aid package was both in general and in comparison to other...
  12. Rush University CRNA Program 2018

    I'm from California so it would certainly be nice to work a few more months and not have to pay rent during that first summer, but of course being able to lighten the load makes a lot of sense, especially with such a big transition! Are you from Chic...
  13. Rush University CRNA Program 2018

    Omg. AMAZING feeling. A feeling I've dreamt of for years now. Can anyone clarify -- I think someone told me the summer start option is optional. Is that accurate? That you can take some classes during summer to lighten your load but otherwise you can...
