   Books I found helpful were "Cardiac Surgery Essentials for Critical Care Nursing" by Hardin & Kaplow and "Manual of Perioperative Care in Adult Cardiac Surgery" by Bojar. These books are great for reference, but I agree that the best kind of trai...

   RNpjm replied to seamang2's topic in SRNA

   Hi seamang2, If you are a nursing student now and would like to gain clinical experience to eventually become a CRNA, I would suggest going to whichever hospital is bigger, or is a teaching facility. You mentioned a Level 1 Trauma Center, so that sou...

   RNpjm replied to aquaphone's topic in SRNA

   My interview w/ UMDNJ was very similar as well. I wasn't sure if they read over my resume and credentials beforehand, so I took it upon myself to mention them again as I was speaking. But yes, it was very short & brief- lasted about 10 minutes. W...

    RNpjm replied to ANNIENURSEANGEL's topic in SRNA

    My best advice is to take MSN courses or even Master's level Organic Chemistry, Physics and excel in them-- get an A! Get your CCRN, and maybe a high GRE score may help as well. Work in a high-acuity ICU that will give you great clinical experience. ...
