  1. St. Mary's MN- Do you need to have a car?

    magno79 replied to coffeeluvinRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I will be starting at MSA in August and know the city pretty well. While public transportation is pretty good, I think that you will still need a car. I know that your clinical sites are spread out...

  2. Applying to CRNA programs

    magno79 replied to icunurse08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think that your time out of school had anything to do with it. There are several students admitted with 25 plus years experience. You have to remember that there are hundreds of applicants...

  3. ICU Night Shift--Good or Bad?

    magno79 replied to Summitk2's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Here is the way I see it. As a new nurse, nights is the way to go. It is slower paced and provides more time for learning and understanding what is going on. As you get the basics out of the way,...

  4. I'm in... with one year experience

    magno79 replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't believe any of these last remarks to be true. The bottom line is that just like nursing, the average age of a CRNA is ever increasing. Thus, there will be many voids in the profession within...

  5. I'm in... with one year experience

    magno79 replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Neuro, I am sorry for the misunderstanding. "Old Nurse" is more a state of mind then an age. I have a great deal of respect for people that have good experience. I use them often as resources and due...

  6. I'm in... with one year experience

    magno79 replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Armynse, You have very quickly become quit the expert on the CRNA profession. Per your profile, you have 4.5 years of experience under your belt yet you write like so many of the old, should not be...

  7. What was your GPA?

    magno79 replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That is why I posted. I have been following this site for 2 years. I remember the first time I saw a thread like this, everyone saying that their GPA was 3.5+ and that you didnt stand a chance with...

    magno79 replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Has anyone interviewed at MSA yet this year or is anyone going to? I assume that the format is unchanged and still very informal.

  11. Chances of admittance to CRNA school after previous dismissal

    magno79 replied to JaySRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I interviewed at Minneapolis School of Anesthesia and we had talked about that. They said that if you were dismissed from one program you would most likely not be accepted to another. I guess that...

  12. St. Mary's

    magno79 replied to badgernurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got the same letter. I also though it strange, the wording and all. I really thought that I had a chance getting an interview having interviewed and been placed on the waiting list for MSA. Both...

  13. St. Mary's Mpls?

    magno79 replied to brookesbuddy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey buddy, do you know what the time frame is for St. Mary's. Have you heard anything regarding the alternate list for MSA. I am still just waiting and dont know if I should move back to Minneapolis...

    magno79 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey everyone. I just found out today that I was granted an interview at the Minneapolis School of Anesthesia. I was wondering if anyone out there had interviewed there and what it was like. I would...

  15. Minneapolis School of Anesthesia interview?

    magno79 replied to magno79's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Very bad news. I just spoke with someone from MSA. I was told that everyone that had gotten an interview was placed on the alternate list. I thought that there was only 6-7 students on that list....

  16. Minneapolis School of Anesthesia interview?

    magno79 replied to magno79's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey guys, I was also put on the alternate list. I guess that makes three of us for sure. I recall in the interview that there are six to seven placed on the list. It is so hard to just sit by and...

    magno79 replied to magno79's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I thought that the interview process was very interesting. My first interview was with XXX. It was so chill. We just talked about hockey and the weather. The second was with XXX. This had a way...

  18. Minneapolis School of Anesthesia, what can I do to get in???

    magno79 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I graduated school for the University of North Dakota in December 2004 with a GPA of 3.1. From there, I moved to Phoenix, AZ and got a job at a 40 bed, level 1 ICU unit. This unit is not divided...

  19. Minneapolis School of Anesthesia, what can I do to get in???

    magno79 replied to magno79's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you for your advise. I appreciate your input and honesty. How are you liking MSA as a program and in terms of clinical sites? How was Abbott to work for and what specialty did you work in?...
