Just got offered an interview at VCU. Whoever has had an interview there or will be interviewing that has information please respond back. I am just wondering how their interview process is and what kind of questions I should be expecting. I know ...

all the books im lookin at on my iphone all say "this is a one year subscription which includes all updates and new editions" does that mean i have to pay $48.71 each year for Sota Omoiguis book or what?
First off, critical care experience as a RRT does not count as the critical care requirement that schools want as a RN. And as for the Bachelor's degree. Most schools just say a Bachelors degree in something other than nursing is ok, but you have t...
we will mostly do CRRT 1:1 but there have definitely been times I've had a CRRT patient and another patient. I've even had an LVAD Ventrassist patient and a Thoratec BIVAD patient at one time before. its not common but it does happen. what makes m...
idk, in my icu we do all the vent management for the post op hearts. the only time we use rts is if we need assistance bag suctioning or something. but shoot i would love to be 1:1 nursing for any vented patient
i find that just hilarious. unless the patient is fresh out the OR from open heart surgery or on a fresh VAD, CRRT (which we still pair sometimes), or an open chest that is unstable they are never 1:1. having a vented patient should never be 1:1 in...
for you only having a year of experience i find it hard to believe you are not learning anything or feeling stagnant. we get people in my icu that think they know everything after a few months and feel they can take the sickest of the sick patients ...

CCU is good experience. but really if you love the heart why not try the CVICU. you will get the heart patients and get the surgical experience that CRNA programs look for. CVICU you will get every patient vented and still get those post MI patien...
interviews are about 4 hours. they are laidback and just ask the regular questions, why you want this, how you've prepared. everyone was very friendly. had only one clinical question. still very very stressful but they are definitely not there to...
i would say you hold the ASA and the metformin. Usually ASA is held like 5 days prior to PCI and the metformin should be held because the patient was probably NPO after midnight anyway and won't really need it.
I have heard bad things about Georgetown and I've seen them accept individuals that I would never let touch me in the OR. The CRNAs I've talked to have said bad things about it and how the people coming from there are not as good as the ones coming ...

seriously there should be no question that getting a graduate degree is harder than an undergrad rn degree. search through these forums and you will see the amount of hours needed to graduate with a MSN in anesthesia
pretty much you will need AT LEAST 1 year of ICU experience. i do know that programs will accept NICU or PICU but they mostly prefer adult ICU. talking with many different CRNA's they say their programs really loved CVICU or a SICU
I got a phone call from VCU and they gave me the choice of two different days I could do the interview. But no I don't work at UVA, I work at Inova Fairfax Hospital
I applied to VCU, Univ of Maryland, Univ of Pitt, and Univ of Miami. Just got the call today from VCU for an interview. So damn excited. Just wish I knew what to look forward to related to the interview and the questions they're going to ask me.
