    nrsmelissa1 replied to mror44's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I work at a busy heart hospital where we frequently see IABPs. At times we may have 3 IABP pts on the unit. Only the unstable IABP pts (multiple gtts and lines) aren't doubled. I am yet to see a...

  7. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

    nrsmelissa1 replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The letters were sent out last Wednesday, so maybe your mail is SLOW! I live in Kansas and haven't received mine either. I would think you should get it in the next day or so, because everyone gets...

  9. Galatia Heart Hosp. or Kansas Heart Hosp.

    nrsmelissa1 replied to Happeetxn's topic in General Nursing

    Kansas Heart is a wonderful place to work. The ratio is 1:2 in the ICU and 1:4 on the telemetry unit. The hospital stands by this policy, too! They will close to admissions if their nurses...

  12. TCU Interview

    nrsmelissa1 replied to TxTraumaICURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    nrsmelissa1 replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I interviewed yesterday at TWU with Dr.Reinke and Charles Waller. Things went really well. I was a pretty nervous going in knowing that Dr.Reinke would be one of my interviewers, but it wasn't bad...

  14. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

    nrsmelissa1 replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It looks like TCU is going to busy interviewing a lot of us on Monday Jan 7th. Maybe they will decide they don't need to have anymore interview days, because all of us are so qualified and we all...

  15. Anyone interviewed at Newman University CRNA program.

    nrsmelissa1 replied to BSN14John's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My interview went the same way. You don't know how you are doing, because they give you no feedback and they never smile. Everyone I know who has ever interviewed there walk out feeling terrible. I...

    nrsmelissa1 replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just got my interview time from TCU. I will be interviewing Monday January 7 at 5:00 pm. Maybe they will be so tired from interviewing all day that they will go easy on me. I can only hope! I...

    nrsmelissa1 replied to jennlm3665's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You will need to brush up on CCRN material. They are mostly a clinical based interview. Know lines, gtts, hemodynamics, and ABG's. I have heard of interviews being stopped after a few minutes if...

  25. ICU experience

    nrsmelissa1 replied to studentrn1008's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't believe special care nurseries meet the requirement for most programs. If you really want to become a CRNA adult ICU (SICU/Trauma/MICU) is your best bet. If you can stick it out for a couple...
