  7. University of Pittsburgh CRNA Spring 2023

    Living2Learn replied to Living2Learn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    From my understanding there is a priority deadline and an actual deadline. Several schools have similar timelines, essentially like an early admission. I’m unsure of how many people submit by the...

    Congrats! I hope you get in! Is it still virtual or did you go to campus? Also, you mind sharing your stats and some insight on the interview process? (Clinical vs. emotional questions, format,

  11. Community College Versus University

    Living2Learn replied to Guest 1191353's topic in School, College Programs

    There are a few factors here. The first we should get out of the way is the stigma that BSN prepared nurses are superior to ADN prepared nurses. This is simply not true. We all learn the same subjects...

    Living2Learn replied to Ladycinder's topic in First Year After Licensure

  15. 1 month into Residency and I want to Run!

    Living2Learn replied to Sunflower1194's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One of the things that they don't really talk about in school is speediness. They talk often about time efficiency and time management, but when you're an actual nurse (esp on the floor), you do have...

    Living2Learn replied to hopefulnurse311's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A refresher course would be helpful for employment (and likely helpful for your overall skills and confidence). You may not qualify for many codified new graduate programs, but you can certainly find...

    Living2Learn replied to StudentRegisteredNurseofAnesthesia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am looking at this school for next year. Any idea how they calculate it with retakes and such? I retook Anatomy to go from a B to an A & I was enrolled in a micro course in which I didn’t drop...

  23. CHLA RN Residency March 2020

    Living2Learn replied to nikkiim226's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here is some clarification - Their pay is a little odd. So, the starting base is about $34/hr, which sounds very low compared to other hospitals. But, whenever you’re working a 12hr shift, you get...
