Many teachers will give you the syllabus ahead of time. What is wrong with catching up on reading?

More tests is better. Gives you a chance to increase your grade if you bombed one.

If you got the syllabus of any classes pick the class that you think you will have the hardest time with and start reading. Will be easier for you in the long run.

Wakeup at 6:30. Eat breakfast out the door by 7:30. Drive for an hour. Sit in class for 3 hours. Study at the library for 2-3 hours. If exam for 5 hours. Then go home relax and study more. We had about 3-4 quizzes a week and an exam every week as well. All in all not that bad. Weekends would relax do some work go to the beach...

I was planning on applying for CRNA school in May 09. I already took my GRE and my ACLS cert. I went to the Director of the program to ask a question about my transcript and she notified me that the program still had a few spots left. She told me to apply! My heart jumped into my throat... I went home that day full of hope. Filled out the application and handed it in along with my transcripts. Got an interview shortly thereafter and the acceptance letter. This was the best sequence of events that has ever happened to me. It made my year to get into anesthesia school!! (especially since the deadline for applications was nov 07 and I came to talk in January of 08!)

You got accepted for an '09 program? :uhoh21:

You misunderstood my question. I am not interested about anesthesia school for the army or navy. I am interested about the role of a CRNA in the various branches and how they compare and contrast.

Hey everyone, Is there a real difference between being a CRNA in the air force vs army vs navy? I am assuming that a CRNA in the Army can work in a Forward Surgical Team while also operating in a standard army hospital. How does the job differ for AF and Navy CRNA's? Thanks, rich

Interesting!

Some job descriptions i have seen say stuff like ICU?: Sometimes. So it must be somewhere...

St Raphaels has spots available and they take new grads into the ICU's. How do i know... hrmm ;-)

I know St. Raphaels starts new grads with BSN @ 26.00 and Bridgeport starts new grads with BSN @ 26.50.

From CNN / Money Best Places to Live 2006 Both Top 100 finalists City Population Fairfield 57,800 Stamford With Fairfield taking rank # 9. Talking about Crime. San Fransico has about 7,000,000 less residents than New York and has a HIGHER crime rate. (Not to get off on a tangent ;-) ) And that is courtesy of city-data.com.

Wow way to generalize the entire state by 3 cities out of many. We have a few towns ranked in the top 100 towns to live in in the country. Many towns have very low crime and a nice New England feel. And it is close to the best city in the world, new york city!

I am in a new grad in the CSICU @ a large facility, and I love it. Great experience, great people, and real acute. Some days are slow and some days are non stop you never know what will happen. I say go for it :)
