Look into Kidz First or West Jackson Baptist Church for daycare. ?

Hey guys! I’ll be starting in August as well. I’m from the area if anyone had any questions about where to live and such. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Congrats to the ones that got invited for an interview. Unfortunately I didn’t get an invite this year. I was wondering if you would be willing to share your gpa and ICU experience so I can have a goal for next year.

Has anyone received an email yet?

I was told this is not acceptable.

Rent around here ranges from $700-1000 for apartments depending on how many bedrooms you are interested in. You can rent a small 3 bedroom house for around $1000 as well. Not sure how much on campus housing runs.

I would look into Camilla trace or Post House Woods apartments.

Are you looking to stay in an apartment?

Hey yes, that's right. If you stay in North Jackson, you should be fine. But I can show you around sometime if you need.

Mjonesrn Yay! I'm glad to see I'm not the only one! I feel like I def have some knowledge of anesthesia just by being in the OR. Obviously there is a lot more to know than just what we see but I believe all those years give us an advantage when it comes to the flow of the OR. I can't believe they said that! I would have been stunned.

What day is your interview? I believe I work on the 13th but have the other days off.

If any of you would like and I am off work, I am happy to show you around the area when you are down for interviews.

Yes I agree! I think a diverse class is good for everyone in it! We can help each other with our different areas of expertise.

Sorry, I did not realize my post was misleading. Happy to clarify. CNOR is comparable to CCRN but in the OR. You have to be an RN and have 2 years of experience intraop and 2400 hours. RNFA was another intense online program that I took over the course of 2 years as well. It consisted of didactic coursework as well as 130 clinical hours in which I had to turn in a transcript of every surgery case I participated in and what I assisted with in the case. I'm not eligible for CCRN since I just started in the ICU but I do have plans to take it when I am able. My OR experience is very different from the traditional route that many students take but I did not know that I wanted to be a CRNA until I started in the OR. I do have many CRNA friends and know many MDs as a result of my OR experience. I also have a lot of leadership experience within the OR and precepted many assistants. I understand that the route I took is not traditional but we all have different experiences in our career that will be helpful in different ways. I hope everyone gets in if this is your dream as it is mine.

No I'm not a new nurse. Sorry if it was worded wrong. I do believe my OR experience will be helpful in some aspects for sure.
