  1. Anyone going to Pitt?? Looking for classmates

    COtraumarn replied to texas2pittsburgh's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi all. I am also starting in Fall of 2008 -(CrnaHeisman). Another company to rent from is Walnut capital rentals- they have properties in Sq Hill and Shadyside. Those areas are very pedestrian...

  2. Newman University KS???????

    COtraumarn replied to 2B_RN_2008's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I interviewed there. It seems like a decent program that has a high value on family values w/ some very nice people. The interview wasn't bad and Wichita seemed like a decent place. The school is very...

  3. Anyone interviewed at Newman University CRNA program.

    COtraumarn replied to BSN14John's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I interviewed there in Jan of 2007. Made the alternate list but did not get in. It was just like the other person described. About 7-8 people on a panel and they asked you the usual questions of why...

  4. UT Houston CRNA Program

    COtraumarn replied to TransplantGUru's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No. I didn't apply again as I got into TWU and Pitt. Decided to come to Pitt b/c it left me w/ the best impression. If you applied to TWU- all they ask is Clinical questions. The only one I applied...

  5. Did anybody get in with GPA 3.5?

    COtraumarn replied to maria s's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, I got into two schools w/ less than 3.5. One in Pittburgh and TWU. I did go to a big name school so that may have helped and I had decent GRE. If your experience is good that also helps and get...

  6. UT Houston CRNA Program

    COtraumarn replied to TransplantGUru's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I applied to UTH last year and did not get in. I remember getting a letter by mid Dec and did the interview mid- late Jan of this year. Like other people said, I had to send a couple of things in...

  7. Does prestigious univ + ACNP = NA program acceptance?

    COtraumarn replied to ThePerpetualStudent's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can speak only from my own exp. I know most schools don't require the CCRN, but there are some where it's highly recommended. It only helps though at all schools. As far as being an APN- I'd think...

    The type of neuro questions were pretty basic if you have experience w/ Neuro- They asked what you as a bedside nurse can do for high icp, assessing for a change in ICP,what kind of drugs inc...

  9. Shadowing a CRNA: what questions to ask?

    COtraumarn replied to deroth1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Shadowing a CRNA should be more fun and educational than anything. Ask anything you want to know about anesthesia- the gas machine, drugs, different roles etc.. I asked a lot of questions about the...

  10. CCRN Question

    COtraumarn replied to OpenheartAmy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have to agree w/ the majority of people on here- get your CCRN. Schools look very favorable on it and although I don't know of any programs that require it- some do say "recommended". If you can...

  11. Texas Wesleyan

    COtraumarn replied to joshcrna06's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I remember more pulmonary questions. There were a few cardiac- mainly related to pressors and swans. I also had a lot of neuro questions at the satellite interview and with a different school. Def...

    COtraumarn replied to heartrn35's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I interviewed at Pitt last year and I remember getting a call around late Oct. I interviewed in Mid-Nov. It was a great place to interview. The interviewers are friendly, they show you their...

  13. Texas Wesleyan

    COtraumarn replied to joshcrna06's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I interviewed there in Jan of this year. It was a panel of three that asked you questions. They asked me a couple of personal questions and then went right into the clinical questions. The whole thing...

  14. Texas Wesleyan

    COtraumarn replied to joshcrna06's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When I interviewed there- it was all clinical questions. They asked a couple obligatory personal questions but that was it. IMO, they don't really care about you as a person they just want to know...
