  1. Low GPA for CRNA school

    Keep getting As in the other classes. I don't think it's overkill to redo anything you haven't received an A in, however it comes with a caveat. Have you asked an admissions advisor for whatever program you want to apply to what they think of your ...
  2. Scared/feel unprepared for CRNA school?

    Current TX Wesleyan SRNA here, 10.5 months to go. It takes sacrifice for sure, what you're doing is not that uncommon. Sold my house to fund school. I understand the anxiety and feeling underprepared, there's no way to get rid of that. Had my sha...
  3. TWU CRNA 2018

    Canookies, here's what I told another person: -Make sure you know your own field. I'm a CT nurse, so talking about post op hearts, complications, interventions, medications, etc was important. They want to see how you think. Prepare a few patien...
  4. TWU CRNA 2018

    Congrats to those who got a spot in Denver! Ive worked at U of Colorado for the past 5yrs and its a great place to work. I thought both interviews were less intimidating than I expected. Being able to chat with current students prior was super hel...
  5. TWU CRNA 2018

    Dec 12th for me.
  6. New Grad starting in CVICU SOS

    Nice! Sounds like my unit. You said it's a residency, how long do you have being precepted and what kind of support do you get? Classes etc? A good place I think to start would be reviewing all of the normals for hemodynamics: PA, svo2 etc. De...
  7. Any jobs that male nurses are "not allowed" to do?

    Typically speaking, no. However I always think about my patients, their privacy and include them as drivers of their care when Im able to. If a patient requests a female to help them toilet, etc then I dont take offense to that and help.
  8. Reinventing Myself (Career Change from IT to Male Nurse)

    Do it. Never too late to follow your passion and desire to give back. Second career nurse here, started an accellerated BSN when I was 31.
  9. TWU CRNA 2018

    Congrats to the other ppl with an interview in CO. Ill be interviewing at both sites in December. Looking forward to it. Got my email from TWU on 11/9. Id imagine they have maybe 20 or so interviewing but who knows. I emailed Lisa back to confirm...
  10. Trying to decide best schooling path for me.

    I'd rec what most were saying and just apply to several accelerated programs. Do not go for an associates or any of that with a BA already. I was a 'non-traditional' student, 2nd career RN. First degree, Chemistry, 3.0gpa barely. If you did poo...
  11. new RN/BSN - where to work for the most experience

    I guess it depends on what you mean by 'most experience'. Do you mean just seeing lots of different things, patho, patient populations? If so, then Step-Down / Progressive Care is the way to go. Worked my first 2yrs at a high acuity med/surg step...
  12. Career switch to Nursing

    Very cool! I made the transition from banking to nursing at 30. It can be done. One, if not the best decisions I've ever made. Will you be doing a traditional BSN or accelerated? Just curious. Regardless, good luck to you, and welcome.
  13. Questions on Portfolio/Resume/Letters of Reference.

    Without a doubt, I'd take the time to set up a portfolio. I'm a new grad, so mine was relatively simple to set up. Divided it into sections one each for my resume and references, letters of recommendation, transcript, certifications ( including pri...
  14. commute to UCH from...

    Hey Cardioverter, welcome to Colorado. I too will be in the UCH new grad cohort on 2/19. Stoked! Sunnyside would be a straight shot on i70 East to i225 south. I'd guess about 20 minutes. Traffic can get congested at the intersection of 70 an...
  15. UCCS Acc BSN program begins Summer 2013...PLEASE ANSWER!!!

    I graduated from the UCCS ABSN program last August. My recollection of the process was a phone call in January for those selected for interviews. Nobody was accepted into the program until the end of February, beginning of March. Can't remember ...
