  1. Best "fast-track" advice for an older career changer.

    Ok then. How do you like me now?
  2. Not sure CRNA is for me

    So why don't you?
  3. Sad Boards

    Hey CrnaRose. I'm going to be starting school in a few months. Just wanted to say good luck. Don't get down on yourself. Hope the second time is your charm.
  4. Makes sense.
  5. Working while in CRNA school...

    You cannot work while in crna school nor would you want to. The workload is going to be insane.
  6. Paying for your program & living expenses

    I'm not an expert in this as I have yet to go through it myself. With that said, the students that spoke to me during my interview stated that your disbursement will total $10,250 every 4 months, which will leave you with approximately $2,000 extra a...
  7. Jane Fitch MD, prior CRNA, now Anesthesiologist elected president ASA

    JWK, you should reread the posts that you conveniently disregard in your argument. You are wrong. Yes, physicians are very well-trained, but so are nurses. The two disciplines come from very different starting points, but this doesn't mean one is bet...
  8. PRE CRNA

    The DNAP sounds great and is a source of pride, but from everyone that I have asked, which includes MDA's and CRNA's, there doesn't seem to be any benefit in doing the DNAP at this point. As a doctoral prepared CRNA there is not a greater pool of job...
  9. I finally made it!!!!

    So cool. Congrats!
  10. Steps to become a CRNA?

    To get into CRNA school you only need to complete your ASN and become an RN. After that you are golden for gettting into a CRNA with a pharmacology degree, assuming you have the grades.
  11. Barry CRNA Starting 2016

    Most applicants are applying with ICU experience. They accept a lot of students meaning more than most other schools. If you have ICU experience and a decent resume' you have a good chance to get in, but the program is very difficult so make sure you...
  12. Boston-area and GRE

    Magoosh worked great for many friends of mine and myself. It's all online. Used it for a few months and took it. It's not that bad. Don't know anything about those schools, though. Good luck.
  13. wbtcrna, I totally agree with you. If you're going to put out information make sure it's correct and not wrong. Whoever said $200,000 yearly for pharmacists wasn't even close. This goes to keeping with professionalism and that's what we are trying to...
  14. Recommendation Letter after only 1 year?

    You may want to wait a little before applying. It's going to be tough to get into a decent program with only a year under your belt unless you nail the GRE and your GPA is stellar. With that said, if you're dead-set on applying now I would try and ge...
  15. FIU interviews 2014

    Salutations, your GRE score is outstanding. Take the CCRN and knock the interview out of the park and you should be fine. I had 3.7 last 60, 156/153, CCRN, 2 years CVICU. The interview was friendly. All the staff and SRNA's were very informative and ...
