  1. Anyone apply to St. Mary's CRNA 2019?

    FlyMurse replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Also if anyone is interested, I put together a map of their clinical sites: St. Mary's Clinical

  2. Anyone apply to St. Mary's CRNA 2019?

    FlyMurse replied to LifelongRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I applied the night of the deadline and was rejected late April. My dumb ass uploaded the wrong resume (I revamped it just for this app) so was frantically emailing Daniel and the generic email to...

  3. Puerto Rico CRNA programs

    FlyMurse posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There was a lengthy forum posted about the (then one) CRNA school in PR. Since then, 2 more programs have opened up for a total of 3 programs, just curious about what people have heard. Per the COA...

    Curious as to what happened after the hurricane?? Will they offer an economic stimulus package to move to PR? (in my dreams). Is the university still

  5. ADHD

    FlyMurse replied to Roxy0881's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have ADHD. Nursing school was very challenging for me- instructors singled me out and tried to make me fail because I didn't do things "their way". But I got through it and I can honestly say I'm...

  6. Confronting Doctors with Wrong Orders

    FlyMurse replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    We had a septic CHF pt. MD ordered 1L NS bolus AND 40mg Lasix. The guy wasn't truly septic yet, just SIRS at this point. His BNP was 2500!! I asked the doctor and he said yes. I asked some other...

  7. University of Arizona CRNA

    FlyMurse replied to CRNAhopefulIN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I believe just a BSN and CCRN are minimum requirements, but it may have changed. I remember that was one positive thing about the program- I wouldn't have to go back for any more classes to

  8. University of Arizona CRNA

    FlyMurse replied to CRNAhopefulIN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I didn't end up applying this year due to a number of reasons but would you mind posting your stats? GPA? Experience?

  9. Im 24 years old and I don't know what I want to be!!

    FlyMurse replied to LizMateo10's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I would say go to nursing school if you can. If you don't like bedside nursing you can literally do anything after a year of experience (it goes by fast. I'm on year 4 and it seems like I graduated...

  10. Reasons NOT to be CRNA

    FlyMurse replied to Terpole's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    THIS. Failing out and being stuck in debt with nothing to show for it is seriously my biggest fear. I'm already not sure if I can get in, let alone stay afloat for 2 years. I would not attend the 2...

  11. CRNAs in Critical Care Medicine

    FlyMurse replied to FlyMurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    A lot of universities offer an FNP or ACNP certificate for nurses with MSNs already. Would something like this be an option? It doesn't specify you already have to be an NP already. Again, I...

  12. Is CRNA school as difficult as people said?

    FlyMurse replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your integrated program must have perfected the system because the students I talked to here were having difficulty. Their lectures don't at all line up with what they're doing in the OR. But they are...

  13. GPA Calculation

    FlyMurse posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi all, Just wanted to see your different experiences with GPA calculation. I've heard of some schools just using the last 60 credits you've taken (which for me, would be my BSN program). Others want...

  14. CRNAs in Critical Care Medicine

    FlyMurse replied to FlyMurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes, I understand that. I am just wondering if an intensivist or hospitalist group would employ a CRNA, especially since MDAs are able to do the same. While most intensivists are pulmonology/critical...

  15. GPA Calculation

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

    Also thinking of taking a graduate level Pathophys course to up my science GPA since I had a C in A&P 2. Any thoughts on that?

  16. University of Arizona CRNA

    FlyMurse replied to CRNAhopefulIN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I still need more ICU experience but I talked to a girl who applied last year but didn't get in. She had a ton of research and committee experience and seemed very knowledgeable and well put together....

  17. ED nurse to CRNA

    FlyMurse posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi all, For the past few months I've been reading forum after forum looking for answers, trying not to start another "Should I be a CRNA" topic, but alas, I've given up. I've been a nurse for just...

  18. ED nurse to CRNA

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

    Thanks for taking time to reply CCRN! I want to be a provider and be in complete control of the patient. I am getting tired of knowing what a pt needs, but having to ask a doctor for an order. At...

  19. ED nurse to CRNA

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

    Anyone? I'd appreciate even a partial insight on anything

  20. Low census--what do you do?

    FlyMurse replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

    Yep! I'm in the north valley and we hardly slowed down for the summer. Flu/PNA/RSV season hit us hard last year. Holding admissions in ED almost daily. We need a bigger hospital! My first job as a new...

  21. University of Arizona DNP Nurse Anesthesia

    FlyMurse replied to Krush251's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Krush, I know, and I'm thinking about applying because I could, in theory, have the year of critical care experience by the time the program started. I am tempted to take a CCRN prep course and just...

  22. How do you survive?

    FlyMurse replied to CardiacDork's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am planning on a large amount of student loans, but I'm also considering one of the schools in Puerto Rico. Total program cost is literally ~$20,000. I think I can get out with less than 100k but...

  23. University of Arizona DNP Nurse Anesthesia

    FlyMurse replied to Krush251's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was considering applying and I met with the director, (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME) last year. She was very helpful and down to earth. The only issue I have is the lack of critical care experience and...

  24. Inter Amer Arecibo

    FlyMurse replied to luna0608's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I may throw in an app for PR just to see what happens. My main concern is taking the GRE. Arecibo is the only program in PR that doesn't require it. Does anyone know if they truly do have 110...

  25. Inter Amer Arecibo

    FlyMurse replied to luna0608's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you so much for your reply, ProgressiveThinking! That was exactly the type of feedback I had hoped to hear. I am considering applying to a University here but the program I'm looking at is brand...
