  2. Funny this should get brought up. I am studying for my first "Professional Aspects" test now. Gotta love all those dates, as if I dont have enough else to study already. DNP's for CRNA's according to...
  3. CRNA Questions

    UAB takes either or and Erlanger in Chattanooga takes just the MAT. I took the MAT. My mind was just geared towards the way it was testing and I knew I could do well on it. I did, I'm in I recommend...
  4. Samford Info

    A buddy of mine just started Samford this past June. First semester under his belt, he is very much enjoying being at Samford. When he interviewed, it was with four different individuals. He met each...
  5. CRNA class size?

    I'll be at UAB in a week and half. My class has 63 (thats how many email addresses I counted on a emai to "all"). I was told UAB takes up to 75, but we have 63 for sure in my

  7. CRNA/SRNA Studying Techniques?

    What he said. Thats pretty much how I have studied for the last 100 years and it works well for me. The knowledge stays with you forever like that. Strangely enough by the end of a semester, I could...
  8. LOL I was just thinking the same thing! I am married and starting a CRNA program this fall........I thought I'd be going months at a time without any sex......There is hope! WOOHOOOO.
  9. Yea, I am. I have two, but they are older. My son is 16 and my daugher will be 14 when I start. I'm very involved with both of my kids and what they do. However, come Aug 22, I will be MIA for 27...
  10. Future CRNA income

    That is true but you are talking local. On a national level the shortage will be felt. Here at home, we have 2 schools. The market is inundated with anesthetist and salaries have declined slightly b/c...
  11. Acceptance from alternate list.

  14. Online BSN

  16. gpa 3.2

    NICU, that is awesome, congrats on Bay Gooding. I have always heard UAB was a bit political and that most people don't get in on the first try but maybe the second. When I worked PICU, my charge nurse...
  17. Gooding Institute

    I am not going there but I know CRNA's that have and they have nothing but good to say about it. I like how they put you in the OR fast. I think that is cool. I wish the one I will be attending did...
  18. Erlanger Acceptance Letter

    Tenn, my Erlanger letter just arrived. Made alternate. Good thing I got in elsewhere! I like how they worded it though. I made alternate but last year they took several from the alternate list so I...
