2. ICU experience for CRNA school

   CCRNRCIS replied to Micu 2020's topic in SRNA

   I will add that I work in a CVICU, and IABPs rarely get used at my hospital. Cardiologists or CV surgeons usually opt for an Impella or LVAD. All that to say...IABPs are not worth leaving your home base.....in my opinion.

3. CRNA school chances

   CCRNRCIS replied to BSN_1620's topic in SRNA

   *Take your GRE and maybe even retake some sciences to get your science GPA up. *Don’t limit yourself to just a few schools. Apply to several and spread your net wide.

   CCRNRCIS replied to 2015RNgrad's topic in SRNA

   Yes. Have you tried getting help from a friend or past professor? There are even places online that can help as well. Expand on what you’ve learned or how you better prepared yourself in the past year? Did you learn more about hemodynamics? Did you ...

8. CRNA for the older RN

   CCRNRCIS replied to Richard Michael Brett's topic in SRNA

   I’m finding that to be my case. I’ve got high GPAs (3.6 overall and 4.0 science), 7 years experience, and stellar LOR. I definitely feel discriminated due to my age (mid 40s). Obviously there is no way to prove it. But when younger kids with only a y...

9. Anterior MI's

   CCRNRCIS replied to NurseMelchi's topic in CCU

   I'm sorry for my misinformation @offlabel. I guess all 7 of the cardiologists that I work with on a daily basis are wrong in teaching me what I wrote.

10. Did you disclose your Plans for CRNA school

    CCRNRCIS replied to BSN24's topic in SRNA

    I feel sorry for those of you that have to keep things on the DL about your plans for CRNA school. I work in a 60 bed unit and pretty much everyone knows my plans. I do occasionally get the SI or the screaming DKA but I look at as an opportunity it s...

    I reached out to Dr Black on Aug 31 and she said that they were still in the notification process. Once they completed the process then they would be able to give feedback to those that requested it on how to improve their application for future pro...

    Surely there are other people waiting to hear something???

13. Do I stand a chance?

    CCRNRCIS replied to Millenial nurse's topic in SRNA

    All I can say is apply to more than one school and see what happens. Even when you check off all the boxes for one school's qualifications, you still may not get accepted while others do get accepted who don't have all the qualifications. If you don'...

14. Will a good GPA outweigh lack of experience?

    CCRNRCIS replied to mchristy12's topic in SRNA

    No GRE required if you already have your CCRN. You could always email the director or AD and ask if you are qualified to apply with your experience. They have been super helpful and quick to reply to my questions. My advice is to sit out another ye...

15. Curious: What do you like and dislike about the selection of scrubs on the market?

    CCRNRCIS replied to May893's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I love me some good broken-in OR scrubs. If they could make those in Navy (already broken-in and soft) then I would be happy. I don't need super tight, stretchy, polyester scrubs. That's prob why I've stuck with basic Urbane and Blue Sky scrubs.
