    MEDRN89 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm about to finish up my ASN in a couple of weeks with a 3.3 GPA overall, but a 2.9 in nursing school (made a C during one semester). I had a 3.8 in all pre-req courses. I have been a paramedic for...

    Yeah, I plan for 2 years at least. Maybe 3. I think I can get hired in an High acuity ICU as a new grad where I live. Nurses are in high demand here and there seems to be a major shortage. Most of the...

    So I assume you recommend doing an RN-BSN at the school that I plan to go to CRNA school? That school has a RN-BSN program but it isn’t the highest rated in the state. Would it enough of a benefit...

    Nothing was really explained to us until our first tests in school and everyone was scoring poorly... no one told us “knowing the material is only half the battle now”. But yes, I get it now. And...

    I would say “I managed to pass while dealing with the stress of working 60 - 96 hrs per week on a critical care 911 ambulance. Isn’t that more impressive than your slightly higher GPA’s that did...

    MEDRN89 replied to MEDRN89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The difficult part for me was the question style and getting use to answering those type of questions. We found that you could know the material like the back of your hand, and still do poorly on the...

    MEDRN89 replied to MEDRN89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Did you go straight to ICU as a new nurse? how long after starting did you work on your own? Did you initially have a hard time transitioning to doing basic care for patients? The stuff we never have...

    I would like to pick your brain on the process you experienced when transitioned from paramedic to ICU nurse. To say I'm nervous is an

    MEDRN89 replied to MEDRN89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I guess I'm missing something. I have no idea what attitude I'm giving. I used the "fantasy" to describe the test style questions in nursing school and it's been quoted so much on this thread I feel...

    Thank you... yeah you can’t comment anything without these babies getting their feelers hurt. As if they don’t know what I’m talking about. It’s difficult going into these RN programs with a...

    When they say they mainly look at your last 60 hrs of course work, and your science GPA, Aren’t they referring to your BSN work and Chemistry courses? The websites and what not are so vague but...

    MEDRN89 replied to MEDRN89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I still have around 69 credit hrs to get my BSN and Chemistry courses required for CRNA. A’s in those should bring me to a 3.69 based my calculations. Maybe I’m
