    TheSameVein replied to TFuturecrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was told they had close to 300 applicants and interviewed about 120 students last year. I'm not sure what the numbers are this year. Did anyone not get a TCU interview or know somebody who

    TheSameVein replied to mbmathews's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you for sharing your success story! It is always great to read things like this and to see SRNAs/CRNAs supporting the next generation of SRNAs. I spoke with the program director of TCU a couple...

    I am applying to UT Health, Baylor, TCU, TWU, and LSU! I interviewed at both TCU and LSU last year and was accepted but had to delay school for a year due to family/personal reasons. But now I am...

  6. Tips for New Grad ICU Nurse

    TheSameVein replied to bootsandcats's topic in MICU, SICU

    Congratulations! I was also a new grad who went straight to the ICU. It is a big bite to chew and can be very overwhelming for the first year or so until you get your footing. Tips: 1. Don't be...

  8. LSU CRNA 2019

    TheSameVein replied to anrchope's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Are there any current LSUHSC CRNA students on here that would be willing to answer a few questions about being a student in this program? I was able to talk to current students at my interview, but I...

  9. LSU CRNA 2020

    TheSameVein replied to AMB1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was told that we should hear back by the first week of November, which I'm assuming means both acceptance and waitlist/not

  10. LSU CRNA 2020

    TheSameVein replied to AMB1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    @CCRNCalifornia I asked about weekends/holidays in my interview because their packet provided says you only get 28 days of vacation total for the program. The only rotation that takes a true night...

  11. Applying to CRNA Schools in NY

    TheSameVein replied to TRG's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    2.5 years of ICU experience is definitely enough to apply. Your nursing GPAs are on the lower side compared to other applicants (which I'm sure you're aware of), which may prevent you from getting an...

  14. LSU CRNA 2020

    TheSameVein replied to AMB1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Does anyone know LSU's attrition rate? I read online it was about 24% but I don't know if the website was credible. Are they somewhat of a weed-out

  15. LSU CRNA 2020

    TheSameVein replied to AMB1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. Interviews start next week and they still haven't notified everyone

  17. Is trauma for me?

    TheSameVein replied to LJ85's topic in Critical Care

    I am a Med/Surg ICU nurse, but our hospital has a Trauma ICU to which I have floated many times. The trauma patients are typically younger and have fewer co-morbidities when compared to the MICU. It...

  19. Texas CRNA Applicants 2020

    TheSameVein replied to JA_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There's a lot to consider and it's very individual to you - but if it were me I would consider: 1. Clinical site placement - Where/how far are you willing to move? Will you have the opportunity to do...

  23. How to Increase Chances of an MICU/SICU New Grad Spot?

    TheSameVein replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think everything you have done so far is great and should help your chances of getting at least an interview in an ICU. It's even better if you ended up getting that externship in an ICU. I'm not...

  24. CRNA for the older RN

    TheSameVein replied to Richard Michael Brett's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your age alone shouldn't be a factor, but it may take more time than you think to get your pre-reqs together due to the amount of time you've been out of school. Most programs want classes like...
