New SRNA @ Northeastern University Any Helpful Pointers

skipaway · Mar 1, 2005

Are there any helpful pointers I can get from any current students in any CRNA programs or CRNAs themselves...I am a little nervous about the whole Chemistry and Physics in Anesthesia...any suggestions

Check out whether your senior students have notes from class they'd like to share to supplement your own. Keep in touch with your professor if you feel like you're getting behind.

Katie, don't worry, we're all terrified!

What helped me was study groups. We met almost as an entire class immediately after class, and worked chemistry and physics problems similar to the ones we were learning in class. We bothered our professors incessantly for example problems (not from the test, but like what we might see on the test).

Once I figured out how to work a particular problem, I'd do several of that kind of problem on my own at home, over and over, until I had the process down.

Thanks for the advice...just a little worried about this class...I am not being paranoid or anything...just concerned...you know..you work so hard to get to this point and you really don't want anything to get in the way
