Accepted to U Penn!! Now in need of syllabus

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

Hey everyone... after being on this site for years and slowly making my way through the Nursing student board, to the graduate nurse board, to the MICU/SICU board,.. I can now say that I belong on the SRNA board. :D I just got my acceptance letter from U Penn, though I haven't replied yet. :lol2:

I'm looking to get started ASAP into preparing myself. I know everyone says to enjoy my time and blah blah,.. and I will, but I also don't want to waste a YEAR if it means getting some slow leisurely studying done on some basic topics.

So I'm asking for syllabi from your first year of school. Pharm/ Intro to Anesthesia/ Anatomy and Physiology/Physics/Pain Concepts/Chem/Math etc...pretty please... they will make a world of a difference to me.

Here's an update: Went on the interview, I don't think I did so well. I was very nervous and I know I answered the research question inappropriately. Praying they saw past the nerves ( being interviewed by 4 people is new to me). How long did it take for UPenn to get back to the interviewed?

Specializes in Medical/Telemetry. Now ICU.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!:):yeah:

Does anyone know what student nurse anesthetist are doing for finances while in school in addition to loans?

Specializes in Transplant/Surgical ICU.

Nada! Saved up some and liquidated some investements

Specializes in Surgical ICU.

about 4 weeks I think. And with interviews you never know. I had one job interview and thought that I did stellar, we branched off on so many different topics, he fed into it by whipping out research that he was doing, .. it just so happen that I had done a pseudo-research capstone project in college on that same exact topic and to present it to hospital board,... so we had lots to talk about.... did not get the job. Every other interview that i've been on in life,... lil to alot nervous, doubted that I did well... always got the job/position/admission. Its just one of those things...

Specializes in Anesthesia, ICU, OR, Med-Surg.

Congrats on getting in to U Penn. I got accepted to . I'm not too familiar with the area but I think U Penn and Drexel are very near each other. I'm also looking for cheap apartment as well. The school has grad dorm for only $900/month with all utilities included but the rooms are only 10" x 10". That's really small but the dorms are located right across the street from the school. The only issue that remains is parking. They charge so much to park in Philly.

I too got accepted into Upenn's program for 2012. Besides the thread posted about some of the details of the program, does any one have more info about this program??

Ok Update: I did not get in. I had the feeling I didn't when I left the interview, so it wasn't surprising. However, I have another interview, so experience is now on my side. Congrats to all who got in!!!

really sorry to hear that. Don't let that get you worried and nervous about your next interview. Like you said, just use it as an experience.

Yeah is actually very close by. Not even a 5 minute drive. And you're right. Parking is ridiculous!! I've been so spoiled by having a car for so many years, unless you wanna spend all that extra cash, we might have to look into public transportation,.. at least some of the days.

I haven't even started looking at apartments or neighborhoods yet.
