  1. What's the difference?

    jen123321 replied to jen123321's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No one has any

  2. GRE.. pointless exam??

    jen123321 replied to cvicu80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To all of you that don't know...after october the GRE is completely changing. The test will be much longer and will not be computer adaptive...will be less user friendly and reviews say that it will...

  3. BS + ADN chances?

    jen123321 replied to sum07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'd go the ADN route if I were in your shoes. ADN doesn't necessarily=higher GPA. I specifically chose the ADN route out of highschool b/c I didn't want to go away for college and the major...

  4. Drexel

    jen123321 replied to wnabsrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You can interview before you have all of your ICU experience. I am interviewing with 1 1/2 years, but by the time I start I will have more than 2 years. So yes, they really don't bend on the 2 year...

  5. Have you heard of anyone being accepted.....

    jen123321 replied to radrn2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Drexel told me it was fine 6 months before graduation, not 6

  6. Have you heard of anyone being accepted.....

    jen123321 replied to radrn2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am currently finishing my BSN, and have 1 semester left. I have been working in critical care for about a year and a half. I have 2 interviews in August...most places will accept you contigent...

  7. Ques. for those that applied to CRNA school with 1 yr RN experience

    jen123321 replied to 2bNurseNikki376's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Asking for a letter of recommendation after being in the unit for a year should not be a problem as CRNA school admission doesn't happen over night...most schools want your application materials at...

  8. Ques. for those that applied to CRNA school with 1 yr RN experience

    jen123321 replied to 2bNurseNikki376's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think it's absolutely ridiculous that NM's won't give their nurses letters of recommendation. When I interviewed for my unit after my ICU internship, I made it clear that I was very interested in...

  9. What did you do?

    jen123321 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    i searched the sticky and asked a ? and got no responses! hoping to figure some things out...i see that pretty much everyone gets approved for the federal loan for 18,500 per year. as far as private...

  10. Question of the day

    jen123321 replied to zozzy777's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You'll always find people like this so I say who cares!... Someone striving for the minimum and always trying to bypass things probably won't get accepted, and if they do- they probably won't make it...

  11. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

    jen123321 replied to ArkyCCRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Quick ?, I've never taken out loans for anything and I've read every post and do not see an answer: Many of you are saying 'I got approved for $XXXX PER year from whichever bank.' My question is,...

  12. Gre

    jen123321 replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks guys. Think I'm just going to take a week off and forget about the whole thing and then start studying again if that's what I need to do. Hopefully, I won't have to take them again, but...

  13. Gre

    jen123321 replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I feel like an idiot!!...took the gre's today verbal-380 quant-510. HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!! I guess my vocab was not up to par. Called the schools I applied to, they said OK, need to wait until...

  14. Is there a Doctor in the house? Working a code without one in an LTAC

    jen123321 replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    how can someone say it doesn't make sense to call EMS? Are you going to throw the pt in the back of your car and take them to the ER? When someone is coding, there's a reason for it. Mainly,...

  15. Me vs. the charge nurse

    jen123321 replied to RachelRN25's topic in General Nursing

    There's no problem with an ischemic CVA pt. being in the 160-180 range...if you just started PO meds, the MD isn't going to do anything else...it's basically unsafe to bring the pt any lower...they...

  16. Help!!! My Interview For The Anesthesia Program Is In 1 Week. Any Last Minute Tips?

    jen123321 replied to NEE-NEE GIRL's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That sounds pretty good...the interviewer's comments sound promising. I don't think they say that to everyone. I hope to be in your shoes soon!! Taking GRE's next week and then interviews will...

  17. Gre

    jen123321 replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I take GRE's in a week and have no clue what to expect...I've reviewed vocab/math etc...but not hardcore studying. If I don't know it now, then I guess I'll never know it...they say if you're getting...

  18. Gre

    jen123321 replied to gasmaster's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I take gre's next week....what should I be expecting? It's the last thing I have to submit to the 3 schools I've applied to...I'm pretty nervous about the

  19. Taking orders from a medical student

    jen123321 replied to platon20's topic in General Nursing

    I think some people are getting confused between med students and residents...they are two different things. Med students cannot write orders, residents

  20. Which pressor to use???

    jen123321 replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in MICU, SICU

    Ok the CVP argument is getting old!...whether you have an order or not...Dr's and certainly residents (do you work at a teaching hospital?) don't know it all and forget things too. If you are actively...

  21. TB Masks

    jen123321 replied to fiestygirl's topic in General Nursing

    Basically, that sucks...but, yes you will have to wear a weird apparatus that looks like a space cadet outfit. It's better than getting TB, though. They aren't saying your face shape is abnormal,...

  22. contact precautions questions

    jen123321 replied to stayingoutoftrouble's topic in General Nursing

    I totally disagree with that...MRSA lives everywhere and definitely is not just contained to the wound persay. That's why theres such a thing as contact

  23. Question for Charge Nurses

    jen123321 replied to mom4josh's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe different for me, but personally I don't like when anyone signs off my orders b/c then I don't really know what's going on...I have to go back through the chart and look at them anyway so I'd...

  24. Which pressor to use???

    jen123321 replied to cardiacRN2006's topic in MICU, SICU

    Tranducing CVP's is a nursing judgement where I work...all you have to do is set up the pressure tubing and hook it up, you really don't need a dr's order to do

  25. Drexel/Villanova

    jen123321 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Has anyone interviewed at Drexel or Villanova recently? Really looking for advice on what to expect.
