  1. Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

    Quiet1 replied to deeDawntee's topic in General Nursing

    I am a PICU nurse and have been there for about 4 years. I am yet undecided about the timing of the test--there is a lot of stuff on the test that we NEVER see in the PICU. I want to take it mostly...

  2. Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

    Quiet1 replied to deeDawntee's topic in General Nursing

    Sooo... I just got done reading this entire thread from beginning to end, and I am so excited to really start studying for CCRN! I have been toying with taking it for about three years now. I think...

  4. Applications with Pictures

    Quiet1 replied to Biotechnology's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have not had to send photos in with applications, but I have had my picture taken while at the interview... I suppose it is because it is easier for some people to remember faces than

  5. NICU/PICU acceptable?

    Quiet1 replied to newbeginnings07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got into school with only PICU experience. It can be done. I have seen several others leave here to go directly to anesthesia school, as well. We don't do post cardiac or swan gantz. It just...

  6. How to deal with out-of-state tuition??

    Quiet1 replied to lacedmm1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think that all you can do is realize that paying out of state tuition for the first year is the reality if you choose an out-of-state school. Lots of times, you have to pay it the first year, but...

    Quiet1 replied to Quiet1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My ICU experience is all PICU, but I had a couple years on the floor working with adults prior to joining the PICU. The people who have left my unit to do anesthesia school have said that they felt...

  8. Please straighten me up

    Quiet1 replied to Nursing4Sure's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    They don't tell us why unless we ask specifically, and I guess at this point I don't care. My first choice school for the quality of program accepted me and that is where I will go. I am not...

  9. Mayo letters

    Quiet1 replied to mnhawki's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Got my letter Wednesday (as expected, one week later than the acceptance letters) and it was indeed a rejection letter. Hope you did better than I did. When I called, they told me that it was mailed...

  10. Please straighten me up

    Quiet1 replied to Nursing4Sure's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have heard that this is the case...sometimes. I would say that you should look for the job that will give you the best ICU experience in a place you don't mind living. I came from "inside" one...

  11. Mayo letters

    Quiet1 replied to mnhawki's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I called the school today and asked when the letters might be going out. The person stated that they would go out this week. Interesting. That makes it sound like the letters are not out yet...or...

  12. University of Cincinnati

    Quiet1 replied to Quiet1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for the encouragement. I am very excited about being accepted. Now that you have been there for a while, do you have any suggestions regarding where to live? Do you have any idea what the...

  13. Seeking Advice: Which Job to Take?

    Quiet1 replied to AdonaiLoveable's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am no expert, but if it were me and I were planning to leave after only one year, I would take the job with no contract. Experience is experience. You may find, though that you will want to work...

  14. Mayo letters

    Quiet1 replied to mnhawki's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Let's just say that it is terrible to open the mailbox and become disappointed when all that is in there is Christmas cards. Isn't that sick? I do wish that someone would hear something. If the...

    Quiet1 replied to Quiet1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congratulations to all. Now that the official letters are out, it is really beginning to feel real. I am looking forward to taking this giant leap in my career... But I am also very nervous. There...

  16. Mayo letters

    Quiet1 replied to mnhawki's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good luck to you. Still nothing in my mailbox, either. I guess one has to be happy that the interview itself was extended. It can be looked upon as a great honor. Think of those people who were...

  17. Mayo letters

    Quiet1 replied to mnhawki's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for the info. I, too, was beginning to get really nervous, as I have another school that offered me a position and the acceptance deadline is in less than 10 days! I spoke with a current...
