   Just left there in Dec. I had the time of my life, but the hospital can be difficult at times. I would highly suggest doing a 3 month not a 6 month. You will get island fever and be ready to be back in the states after 3 months. One other HUGE su...

   CRNA, DNSc, I realize you serve on the decision making committee of one of the schools, I just wanted to clarify. Do you mean that they cannot accept "applications" until the requirements are met or simply a school could not admit anyone who had no...

8. New Grad interested in CRNA

   CRNAwannabe replied to TennRN2004's topic in CRNA

   Do you have to have one year experience at the time of application or just by the time you enter CRNA school? E.g. if I graduated in May 2005 could I apply in the fall of 2005 to enter CRNA school the Fall of 2006? I had a school tell me that across...

9. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

   CRNAwannabe replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

   I know they work in Alabama. I have worked with them before. I thought they did a great job from the limited scope of knowledge I know. The MD comes in at the beginning and at the end, but otherwise not seen much.

    No Pain, I have the catalog from this school, and I do believe they require you to take a class on religion. It is to be taken the first three quarters of school. This is a quote from the catolog describing the class: "begin with a devotional read...

    I have a question on what type of restrictions are placed on student's personal health and the medications that are restricted. For example, I have heard that anti-depressants are frowned upon. The reason I am asking is that I take Adderall. I tak...
