Hi jed, I am a soon-to-be-starting-CRNA-school person and came across your post and I was wondering if you made it thru CRNA school and how you managed all the studying.

NYNurse89, I don't understand this post. It seems to me this person is looking for legitimate advice. If a person was accepted, obviously they meet the stringent requirements for anesthesia school and don't deserve these snide comments that contribute nothing to the advice he/she was asking for. I agree with the rest of these posters (except NYNurse89 of course), stay humble and soak up all the experience you can. I have been exposed to a number of programs and can think of none that let you just come in and intubate, only to leave 2 minutes later.

Hey all, I interviewed and was waitlisted with conditions a couple years ago. I had to retake an undergrad science course because it had been so long since I was in school. I'm glad that I wasn't accepted though because I ended up getting into Wolford (now Keiser?) which was my first choice. I'm with the LDS church and there were a lot of people I knew in the Wolford program. Just wanted to let everyone know that they will both accept people conditionally and waitlist people conditionally. God bless.

Good one.

I didn't feel the need to code-switch in an unscholarly public forum simply for the sake of politeness, but since you insist. The word hate, in the context I used it, carried no inherent opinion on the morals or virtue of the individuals to whom I was responding. The state of nursing education in this country is abysmal at best, with nurse practitioners able to get their degrees completely online after handpicking their clinical sites, lending little credence to their academic legitimacy. Berating a person who has the desire to strive for the best possible experience in school, which is what I personally feel a number of people have done in this thread, is only discouraging a person who may have the ability to further the profession rather than contribute to the degree mill that has become nursing education in this country. I applaud your willingness to have an open discussion about this, free from malice or spite, but in the post directly prior the one in which you berate me for using the word mean, you called the creator of this thread naive (with an umlaut to make yourself look regal), is that not reducing the discussion to name calling?

Why you gotta hate on someone trying to learn? I think if this person wants to shoot for the stars he got that right. There's schools out there that don't compete with anesthesia residents but do manage to do with bigger cases. It's all about do your due diligence and finding the school that meets your needs. But telling someone not to "learn anesthesia" just plain mean.
