Anyone know of a good online organic chemistry class?

my questions were all personal. 1. why do you want to become a crna? 2. tell us about what preparations you and your family has done to prepare for the rigors of crna school? 3. why should we select you over all the other candidates? 4. tell us about...

It really depends on when your school interviews. I have heard of others who apply with only 4 - 5 months experience. By the time they interview in January that would be about 6 - 8 months and by the time school start in August you would have the min...

no one was born a nurse. we all were new at one point. i will tell you that even though i am fairly new to the icu, i feel i have acquired a lot more knowledge than some of the nurses that have been there for years. one cannot easily dismiss determin...

There are many in Fl and GA!!!

See my previous post in this thread!

I have to disagree with the above quote. You are applying for a CRNA program not an MD one. I think references from RNs/CRNAs way heavier than from an MD. However, in the end it really matters what the person writes about you. Get the person who know...

I never lost my nursing skills by going to the OR. I do believe if you go straight out of school into the OR, it would be a disadvantage later on if you decide to go back to the bedside. In fact I was a better OR nurse because of my prior experience ...

as a nurse who has worked in med-surg, or and icu, i feel i can speak to this topic. first....... or nurses are not go fors............. that is insulting to a specialty that is legitimately known for being a catalyst for numerous changes that affect...

The 790 is impressive! Verbal usually needs to be over 500 but that is sooooooo close. How much did you get on the writing portion? Not sure I would take it over.

Congrats:balloons:

I can finally post it here .......... I am in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Medical College of Georgia - Class of 2010.:w00t:

Are you willing to move? If so apply to Barry as well. Mercer is hard to get into but worth a try. Also apply to MCG. The key is to have great LORs, GRE >1000 and be outstanding in the interview. Being black has nothing to do with it in my opinio...

Stop worrying ............ your stats are good. I would not retake the GRE. I have seen MANY get into Barry with less stellar stats.

:balloons:Congrats Nuerogeek I told you I had a feeling you would get in. (even though I don't "know" you. I just knew you would).

Anyone waiting to hear from Mercer or MCG?

Very realistic to get in with only 1 year.

Same in Georgia and Florida so please discuss with your family ...... in the end THEY not YOU have the final say.:redpinkhe

huh?

Go directly into an ICU. Take it from someone who has been there. I worked in the OR as a staff nurse then as an OR Educator. I LOVED IT!!! When I decided to transition into critical care it was somewhat challenging. NMs were suspicious and thought I...

Just a quick update for those who are interested in MCG. I interviewed there yesterday and overall it was a great experience. On my way home I had all the right answers but don't believe that I gave those answers in the interview.Oh well. They will...

I wouldn't say a word unless you want to rub it in and then ...... what would be the point of doing that? I think you gain more inner satisfaction from them not knowing. Your own little secret ....then in August ... Adios amigos!

Keep looking until you find the ICU manager that is willing to train you. I heard the same crap when I was trying to transition from the OR to ICU. Most places are now suspicious of nurses changing speciality to go to the ICU. One recruiter even told...

Way to go nuerogeek. I told you I had a feeling you would be okay.:yelclap: I have my interview at MCG Thursday and I hope to feel the way you do after. Goodluck!!!
