1. See Exam Advice

   trekrRN replied to Nathon's topic in CRNA

   The SEE is a self evaluation exam. Some of us had (or have) to take it, some not. We had to take it during our first clinical year, and during our second. None of us really studied, and were encouraged not to. That way you would know how well your ar...

2. Gonzaga interview advice?

   trekrRN replied to TSG's topic in CRNA

   I know the person who posted about that interview last year, and it sounds like it was brutal, but the person got in. I seem to remember something in the post about the chief anesthesiologist questioning why nurses belong in anesthesia, and then him ...

3. anesth. techs

   trekrRN replied to blee1's topic in CRNA

   Not sure what your ultimate career goal is, but if you a currently working toward your BSN, I don't think it would be worth your time to go to school for anesthesia technology. Its been several years since I took the cert. exam, but with some basic ...

4. anesth. techs

   trekrRN replied to blee1's topic in CRNA

   Check out asatt.org sometime. They are the certifying body for anes. technicians and technologists. I was a tech during nsg. school and ended up getting my certification. The experience definitely made up my mind for a career in Nurse Anesthesia. ...

6. Attention Barry Students!!!!!!!

   trekrRN replied to csojet's topic in CRNA

   cso- at my university, Organic I was required before you could take Biochem. Biochem builds on a lot of stuff learned in Organic. I tried to take Biochem twice a few years after Organic, and had to drop both times. It had been too long since I though...

7. CCRN prep

   trekrRN replied to preCRNA's topic in CRNA

   Most of the prep that my girlfriend and I used involved stuff from Laura Gasparis. We attended and 3 day prep course by Robin Dennison that helped some, but we thought Ms. Gasparis' audio tapes and study manuals helped the most. She is very knowledga...

   trekrRN replied to kestrel1121's topic in CRNA

   Way to go Cheryl!!! I finally found you on this board. I knew you would do great. That really sucks that they gave you such a hard time in the interview, but I've heard that Gonzaga is like that, and has been for years. Anyway, all of the CRNAs I'v...

9. CRNA programs

   trekrRN replied to moni rn's topic in CRNA

   I too had a difficult time finding the US N&WR article on the web, and it appears that they want you to buy it. I did go down to my local university library and found it. At first I thought I would put a lot of weight in my choice of schools base...
