1. WCU CRNA Summer 2023

   corn1 replied to AEller10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Happy to help! At some point in the Spring you'll get matched with a junior and senior mentor who are great for bouncing questions off/telling you what to expect, etc. It's a little stressful in the...

2. WCU CRNA Summer 2023

   corn1 replied to AEller10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Your classes will follow a normal university schedule. Clinical runs straight through, but you get a week off at Christmas and occasionally will get another day off (if July 4 falls on a week day you...

3. WCU CRNA Summer 2023

   corn1 replied to AEller10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I interviewed the last day of interviews, and got a call at the end of the business day. I would imagine all the initial acceptance calls go out pretty quickly. That said, if you don't get a call,...

4. Western Carolina University CRNA Class of 2025

   corn1 replied to 22ICUnurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Yeah, the 2000 hours comes easily. Not sure exactly what the final number is, but my guess is somewhere in the 2400-2500 range. The regional training is great. Although I can't speak for other...

5. WCU CRNA Summer 2023

   corn1 replied to AEller10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I don't want to say exactly what they questioned you on (and it probably varies year to year). I will say that some of it is geared towards your experience - they want to know how well you know your...

6. WCU CRNA Summer 2023

   corn1 replied to AEller10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Congrats on upping your GRE! The program is somewhat front-loaded. First (Summer) semester is a bunch of classes that are required for accreditation (EBP, stats, economics) and isn't anesthesia...

7. WCU CRNA Summer 2023

   corn1 replied to AEller10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   No advice on the GRE specifically, I know they look at it, but I don't think it plays a huge part of their decision. I didn't do a mock interview, but it isn't a bad idea if you want to. I was...

   corn1 replied to AEller10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Hi all, I'm a current SRNA at WCU. It's a great program (not easy, but none are). Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about the

9. Western Carolina University CRNA Class of 2025

   corn1 replied to 22ICUnurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Some people say the 2nd year Summer is hardest. Some say it's the 2nd Spring, it's different for different people. As the clinical days ramp up, your classroom learning drops off, so by...

10. Western Carolina University CRNA Class of 2025

    corn1 replied to 22ICUnurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi all, I'm currently in the program, used allnurses before getting accepted to the program and figured I'd reach out to those in the upcoming class to see if anyone had any questions about the...

11. Wake Forest CRNA to start Fall 2021

    corn1 replied to FrmrArch's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I never heard anything from them. Last I heard was maybe in October I got an email saying they'd be looking at applications into the new year. Im very curious what their stats for acceptance were this...

12. Covid Vaccine

    corn1 replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The way my hospital has pitched the vaccine is not particularly reassuring. We're told we need to be monitored for 15 minutes after the vaccine, and should not get it if we've had reactions to...

13. Nurses and other staff refusing to Treat COVID patients

    corn1 replied to Mena2015's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think something happened during the HIV crisis and some sort of legislation was passed to prevent nurses from declining to care for patients? It's not enforced at my

    corn1 replied to FrmrArch's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks! Tried to PM you but it's not letting me (says I'm allowed 0 messages per day), maybe because I'm a new member. Congrats on your

15. Wake Forest CRNA to start Fall 2021

    corn1 replied to FrmrArch's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congrats to all who got accepted. Do any of you mind sharing your GPA/GRE/experience? I applied for the Spring deadline, didn't get an invite and was told I might be contacted at a later date....
