  1. CRNA school with children

    ellarose replied to crnastudent1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You ARE being judgemental. And, as someone else posted, don't judge someone unless you've walked a mile in their shoes. I like to think that this forum is a place where we can get advice and support...

  5. Rush University Accelerated BSN programs

    ellarose replied to krzysiu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ok, so maybe 10 times more intense, or even 2 or 3 times harder. It was just an exaggeration to make a point. I still don't see any undergraduate nursing program being close to the difficulty and...

  6. Rush University Accelerated BSN programs

    ellarose replied to krzysiu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ellarose replied to krzysiu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Panel interviews are meant to try and intimidate you in the interview. That is not necessarily how they will treat you in school. Just remember, it is how you handle yourself in a difficult...

  8. Science Pre-requisite grades!??

    ellarose replied to roosevelt127's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  9. Shadowing: Hitting a Brick Wall in Central TX

    ellarose replied to ORaddict's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ellarose replied to hojimma's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just write the truth and how you really feel. If you are motivated and excited about going to school and becoming a CRNA, express that in your letter. Don't try to BS anybody, they will probably see...

  15. Am I wrong to say?

    ellarose replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Carolinapooh, I agree with you completely, but unfortunately there is a "stigma" surrounding nurses who want to go to NA school. It is not the same for nurses who want to go for their NP or CNS....

    ellarose replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A lot of nurses will get offended when you tell them you are becoming a nurse soley for the purpose of becoming a CRNA. For some reason, many seem to take it as an insult that you are using their...

  21. Any ideas for affordable Health Insurance during school?

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

    I'm still in search of a good, reasonable plan. Where I am, Kaiser is over $1000 per month for a family of 4!! So, anything less than that is reasonable. Florida doesn't have Kaiser, so I'm not...
