  1. St. Mary's MN- Do you need to have a car?

    I will be starting at MSA in August and know the city pretty well. While public transportation is pretty good, I think that you will still need a car. I know that your clinical sites are spread out through out both Minneapolis and St. Paul. They a...
  2. Applying to CRNA programs

    I don't think that your time out of school had anything to do with it. There are several students admitted with 25 plus years experience. You have to remember that there are hundreds of applicants each year. I quickest most painless way to elimina...
  3. ICU Night Shift--Good or Bad?

    Here is the way I see it. As a new nurse, nights is the way to go. It is slower paced and provides more time for learning and understanding what is going on. As you get the basics out of the way, you should go to days. There is so much more going...
  4. I'm in... with one year experience

    I don't believe any of these last remarks to be true. The bottom line is that just like nursing, the average age of a CRNA is ever increasing. Thus, there will be many voids in the profession within the next ten years. Common sense tells you that ...
  5. I'm in... with one year experience

    Neuro, I am sorry for the misunderstanding. "Old Nurse" is more a state of mind then an age. I have a great deal of respect for people that have good experience. I use them often as resources and due value and trust them in time of need. What I am sa...
  6. I'm in... with one year experience

    Armynse, You have very quickly become quit the expert on the CRNA profession. Per your profile, you have 4.5 years of experience under your belt yet you write like so many of the old, should not be working any more, nurses that lumber through the IC...
  7. What was your GPA?

    That is why I posted. I have been following this site for 2 years. I remember the first time I saw a thread like this, everyone saying that their GPA was 3.5+ and that you didnt stand a chance with anything less. That is just not the case. Just l...
  8. What was your GPA?

    I have been waiting a while to post this. I have an over all GPA of 3.1 and a science GPA of around a 2.5. I have been a nurse for almost 3 years. My applications go as follows; Interviewed at University of North Dakota: Alternate List Interviewe...
  9. Minneapolis School of Anesthesia

    Has anyone interviewed at MSA yet this year or going to? I assume that format is unchanged and still very informal. Thanks, magno79
  10. Minneapolis School of Anesthesia

    Has anyone interviewed at MSA yet this year or is anyone going to? I assume that the format is unchanged and still very informal. Thanks
  11. I interviewed at Minneapolis School of Anesthesia and we had talked about that. They said that if you were dismissed from one program you would most likely not be accepted to another. I guess that your progress throughout the programs is tracked an...
  12. St. Mary's

    I got the same letter. I also though it strange, the wording and all. I really thought that I had a chance getting an interview having interviewed and been placed on the waiting list for MSA. Both you guys let me know what you find out. Magno79
  13. St. Mary's Mpls?

    Hey buddy, do you know what the time frame is for St. Mary's. Have you heard anything regarding the alternate list for MSA. I am still just waiting and dont know if I should move back to Minneapolis or try and stick out the summer in Phoenix. magno...
  14. Minneapolis School of Anesthesia interview?

    Very bad news. I just spoke with someone from MSA. I was told that everyone that had gotten an interview was placed on the alternate list. I thought that there was only 6-7 students on that list. It turns out there are 50+. I was also told that ...
  15. Minneapolis School of Anesthesia interview?

    Hey guys, I was also put on the alternate list. I guess that makes three of us for sure. I recall in the interview that there are six to seven placed on the list. It is so hard to just sit by and wait for someone to withdraw to make room for us. ...
