Hey everybody, I was wondering what a good GRE score is for CRNA programs What do/did your classmates get?? what do I need to get to be competive. I am going to call the schools I am interested in and ask them but I wanted to hear from you all befor...

CatskillNP, your right not all CRNA's will be NP's our school had designed its curriculum specifically so it would met criteria for the students to become NP's (there by grandfathering in to APRN status) My understanding is this was done because t...

just graduated from a NY program, and yes CatskillNP, we were also just made NPs and CRNA's. NITECAP, CRNA's in the state of NY were not previously known as APRN's they were not recognized AT ALL by the DOH who regulates CRNA practice in NYS. How d...

our name badges say our name, srna, grad student. over the last 25 months I can't tell you how many times pts have had that look of terror, "what a student is going to be doing my anesthesia?" for many people the word student is associated with me...

I also worked as a AT as i went to RN school, all the CRNA schools I applied to loved the fact I was a AT, huge bonus for me. it is a drag to have to leave the OR for the ICU as a RN. my hospital also payed for my undergrad because I was an employe...

the CRNA schools I interviewed at loved the fact that I had worked in an OR and had been a tech. big +

contact the hospitals you are interested in and ask there HR department and maybe their OR. I was a Anest tec as I worked on my RN, My Hospital required you to be a nurse's assistant, everything else was on the job training. I actully volunteered...

I've got a question for everybody, I am heading off for a CRNA program. I would like to buy a new laptop. I have one now, but its 4 years old, big and heavy. What would you all suggest, I plan on taking it to class and to the library, so size an...

1. call the program and ask, I have a couple of CRNA/SRNA's tell me they got a "mixed up" letter. 2. apply to other programs, different programs have different ideas something is not matching up

If your up for a move (I was, Idaho has 0 programs) Albany Med (2 hrs to the west) has an outstanding program we got several Mass students. Boston is a great place to visit thats for sure.

I also looked into the program was very impressed, I called and spoke w/ the director. Several of the CRNA's in Idaho, attended and spoke very highly of it. I would have pursued Mount Martys more but I had a year and 1/2 of ICU and the director said ...

Hey, not a CRNA, in school (SRNA) still but lived in Logan and worked for IHC, let me give you the scoop, IHC have very few or no CRNAs in the SLC area, other hospital groups do use them in the area ie HCA. Ogden has CRNAs @ Ogden Regional, CRNA's ...

Well coming from a long time windows user- Get the PowerBook G4!! a mac was not even in the picture, when I was looking for a new laptop last summer I wanted something: 1 light 2 long battery life 3 at least a CD-burner 4 not bulkly (I wanted ...

Take the GRE w/out it, it limits your school options. one of my buddys decided not to take it and he was very limited in the schools he could apply to. The quality of your experence, your gpa, how well you interview those are the big factors good l...

I'll try: "What is Right Angle Endotracheal Alex?"

I'll try: "What is Right Angle Endotracheal Alex?"

some of my thoughts you don't need a BSN for CRNA ( your schools will be limited but you will have to attend a school that is a MS rather than MSN). extremely optimistic CRNA projection, assuming you have a BS. ASN 2 yrs. ICU 1yr CRNA ...

No and ...No I just got off the phone with the Nursing department. I heard the same rumor 2 yrs ago except it was about U of U. I was pretty excited because that would mean moving only 200 miles instead of 2000 miles for Anesthesia school. I call...

good luck I'm sure you will do great, let us know how it gos for you. did you do Valley review or R&R? another year and I will be in the same hot seat

call or email the programs your interested in, they will let you know what types of ICU's they like. good luck

love the program...because 1 integrated curriculum 2 Very well organized 3 excellent professors 4 MS rather than MSN 5 Tons of regionals and line placements 6 Short (26M) 7kinda spendly for tuition but lots of extras included (review courses, etc) 8 ...

CRNA all the way but... I want to live in a rural area, not many MDA's there. I was in the same boat several years ago, I chose the CRNA way, and so far so good, I will say CRNA schooling is no walk in the park, its tough, my program is 26m...

16 months ICU in a large regional center 2 yrs as a scrub tech/LPN Effort: lots, I knew my app was short on the "years" of experiance, so I studied hard for the GRE and spent alot of time on the Resume and "goal statements" I got interviewed/accept...

What about Albany New York?? I am attending their program, its very good, close to Boston (2.5 hr), cost of living is not bad, some very nice areas. close to alot of cool stuff.

shodobe: my hang-up is the underlining subconscious attitude, not the questions you asked. not only by you but also by other RN's. EMBITTERMENT: I got so tired of the "older veteran RN's" being so bitter and angry to me as I told of them of my plans...
