  1. Why would anyone do the ARMY/NAVY CRNA program?

    MayisontheWay replied to ThePrestige's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I crunched the numbers before deciding which school to choose...I had a choice. The Army Program and my civilian program were absolutely EQUAL as far as money. My choice was made for me when my...

  2. Difference between Nurse Anesthesia School and Nursing School???

    MayisontheWay replied to prosperouschick's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A Snickers bar has 323 kcal or 323,000 calories. 1.1kcal really isn't that much, and it won't make you

  3. Has anyone gone through school WITHOUT loans?

    MayisontheWay replied to Raas4555's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There are probably many people that could go to school without loans, myself and my friend included. But I'd rather leave the money in savings...(now's a good time to invest BTW) and use loans for...

  4. Bet my GPA is lower than yours. . ugh!

    MayisontheWay replied to Claymor's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Is your degree a Bachelor's? 120 hours or so? It would take another 80 hours of course work making straight a's to get to a 3.0, which really is near the minimum considered...and that doesn't mean...

  5. GRE exam

    MayisontheWay replied to 2008el's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There are many, many, many threads on this subject. Try doing a search!

  6. CCRN or Organic Chem?

    MayisontheWay replied to CVICU05's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The Organic Chem class will increase your GPA by exactly .02 points, assuming you have 120 hours of credit from your Bachelor's. If you have more credits than that, it goes up by even less. Your...

  7. HIV positive nurses

    MayisontheWay replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    I worked with a guy that was HIV+ (RN) in my last ICU. He did direct patient care every night. He chose not to take respiratory patients that required isolation. There were no restrictions imposed...

  8. Nurses expectation of a unit clerk

    MayisontheWay replied to ChobeeStudent's topic in General Nursing

    My favorite clerk makes me a copy of the orders so that I can get started on my job while she enters them. I never have to ask. She also does not leave orders hanging in the wind if she doesn't know...

  9. GREs

    MayisontheWay replied to Special31's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Seriously? Maybe you should rethink your career plans! Just kidding! I think everyone bombs the first review...that's why you need to study. I don't know anyone that did "very well" without...

  10. GRE score

    MayisontheWay replied to MBCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What did you do to prepare for the GRE? If you took it without adequate preparation, I'd suggest redoubling your efforts and retaking it. It actually isn't a horrible score, just not competitive for...

  11. ICU Requirement

    MayisontheWay replied to cherrysky's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's not unheard for schools to accept NICU/PICU. If you know where you are going to apply, it's best to ask that school directly. As for years of experience, I had 2 upon acceptance. The range you...

  12. Non anesthesia provider providing anesthesia

    MayisontheWay replied to EMS/ICU/SRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My husband says it would be no problem. But he doesn't fly F-15's...just this old

  13. Is graduating from a community college looked down upon?

    MayisontheWay replied to levy44's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Community colleges do not grant BSN's. As for the other schools suggested, I'd tread carefully in that territory. You need a BSN from a fully accredited school.

  14. Gre For Graduate Nursing Programs

    MayisontheWay replied to JPHILL9507's topic in General Nursing

    JPHILL, Search in the preCRNA forum for information about the GRE. There are numerous discussions about how to tackle the test. As for my advice, buy a book of tests from ETS, the company that...

  15. how to prepare for CRNA application

    MayisontheWay replied to poppy07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I start school in August... Definitely have letters from writers that know you well! I called to thank one of my references when I got my letter of acceptance. She told me she was called by the...

  16. How to get good grades in nursing school?

    MayisontheWay replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Here is a trick...and it forces you to be honest with yourself. It is VERY time consuming. Instead of rewriting your notes (or in addition to rewriting your notes), turn every single note into a...

  17. Is my boss committing fraud?

    MayisontheWay replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, Tweety. I'm not sure who I'm arguing with anymore. And you're right, it is a shame that some NM's do this. That's why it ticks people off so much. It's straight up

  18. Is my boss committing fraud?

    MayisontheWay replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing

    No misinterpretation. It even provides an example. Again, I didn't make the rules, but the rules are very

  21. Is my boss committing fraud?

    MayisontheWay replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing

    The only time I've "waisted" on this topic is here with you guys today. If it meant that much to me, I would've done something months ago. I don't really care what I sound like to you. I'm a rules...

  22. Is my boss committing fraud?

    MayisontheWay replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. We know what we see. If, occasionally, she would raise a finger to help AT THE BEDSIDE we could feel better about her defrauding the AACN for a

  23. Is my boss committing fraud?

    MayisontheWay replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't make the rules...the rules are clear. X number of hours at the bedside during the previous year. She simply doesn't do it, hasn't done it since I've been there and has never been seen doing...

  24. Is my boss committing fraud?

    MayisontheWay replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing

    Because if she isn't doing it WITH us, who is she doing it with? She sure doesn't lift a finger to help when we get slammed with

  25. Is my boss committing fraud?

    MayisontheWay replied to wabisabi's topic in General Nursing

    My NM did exactly the same thing. She has never, ever, ever done a single bedside thing in my presence and yet she sat for and passed the exam. It irks me...I have the same certfication. Every...
