  8. Whose going to Anesthesia School?!

    good luck at Scranton. I know quite a few people in the program now. Many who worked at Lehigh Valley Cedar Crest. I will be applying there this summer. The program is INTENSE, but they all have great...
  9. I have a solid 1.5 yrs in a medical/surgical ICU at a level 1 trauma center. 12 month travel contract at a level 2 medical surgical ICU. For the last 6 months I have been working in the critical care...
  10. I need some CRNA school advice

    Maybe take a undergrad biochem or organic chem course. But most of the schools, at least the numerous ones I've talked to, would rather see you take a grad level class such as patho or pharm than...
  11. Wow, you need you to seriously, seriously, research this profession much further than you already
  12. I sent you a
  13. I took the class with ****. Let me know if you want more info. Brooke Edited by traumarus: Please don't include instructor's names.
  14. I need some CRNA school advice

    I would recommend taking them at a community college. That's what a few people I know are doing. It will save you a ton of money. Also, for the GRE, yeah, you just got buy a book and pretty much start...
  15. I need some CRNA school advice

    I would start looking into taking classes to prove you can do work. My gpa is low as well and I took organic chem this summer and got an A, and right now am taking grad level patho, which I'm pretty...
  16. Thinking about CRNA as a career

    My friend works at UT in knoxville and lots of people she works with want to go to UT. I know it is extremely extremely competitive. I think they except 12 students a year. There is no easy school to...

  18. Thanks, Joss. I really appreciate you sharing. Sorry to hear your dilemma about getting pushed back till 2011. Do you know if the 2011 class if full? Also, one more question if you don't mind sharing,...
  19. completely agree with crna2007. Keep it to yourself. A manager will not want to hire you if he thinks you're only going to be there for a year before you leave. Also, the jealousy and resentment from...
  20. Jross, I would love to hear your stats if you don't mind sharing. I am applying to Penn for 2011. Thank you so much. Did you apply anywhere else in Philly?
  21. Stats that got you in?

    I think that's the way to go. An adult ICU will provide you with so many more learning experiences you probably couldn't get in picu. Good
  22. Stats that got you in?

    I'm pretty sure they are equivalent. Both critical care certs, just one for adults and one for peds. I mean, you could technically take the CCRN, but if you were randomly selected to be audited that...
  23. Stats that got you in?

    The best thing you can do is call schools you are interested in and ask. I would say apply with PICU experience and if that doesn't work switch to an adult ICU. Are adult ICU positions hard to get in...
  24. There are a few issues with your current situation. 1, you need a bachelor's to go to CRNA school, and 2, you need to get in an ICU asap. I believe there are very few (if any) schools that except PACU...
  25. Agreed with the above. Don't tell anyone. But, I wouldn't lie about it either. I just interviewed for a job recently and they asked me if I wanted to go back to school and my words were "it's...
