  1. HELP please! Your thoughts on applying?!

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

    Correct me if I am wrong, but when you graduate from anesthesia school, you get an MSN, so don't you need a bachelors in nursing first to obtain a masters in nursing? Also, I agree with everyone who...

  2. Connecticut CRNA friendly?

    zozzy777 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hi all. I am currently an SRNA and have about a year and a half left in school and would like to move to Connecticut when I am done. I lived in Connecticut for about 3 years but was a staff nurse...

  3. Crna Programs Without Gre Scores

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

    If you think the GRE is hard, if you actually get into anesthesia school, you will wish you had the GRE to study for. It is so much easier than anything you will encounter in anesthesia school. If...

  4. Letters of Recommendation for CRNA Applications

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

    When I applied, I used a previous nurse manager, a coworker and a nurse educator. I believe they just filled out the form. I applied to Case Western and got in, so I guess the forms were good...

  5. GREs

    zozzy777 replied to Special31's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Take a look at the GRE for Dummies book. I used it primarily and it did wonders for me. Not only will it help you learn the basics, but it will teach you how to take the test, what pitfalls to avoid...

  6. Funding the dream

    zozzy777 replied to Quiet1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sallie Mae has a private loan, i forget the name of it, I took it out for 40,000. Keep in mind, the private loans are much higher interest rates, even with great credit. But with that said, peace of...

  7. Should you mention your kids in the application/interiew process?

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

    I would say more than 50% of my class of 28 have kids. It will come out in the interview most likely when they ask about your support system. You should be honest from the start. It is unrealistic...

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

  10. CRNA program while raising kids

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

    I can't even find time to work 8 hours a week and I don't have kids. You should plan on not working at all. I know it is said over and over how busy anesthesia school is, but I cannot emphasize it...

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

  12. travel icu nurse

    zozzy777 replied to 2008el's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When people write that travelers don't get the sickest patients, they really don't know what they are talking about. I was a traveler for almost 8 years and the experience I had was so much more than...

  16. How's everyone's semester going?

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

    I am so jealous you get a day off. We don't! Once the semester was over, our lclinicals went from 2 days a week to 5 days a week over Christmas. And I agree with the others, I am soooooooo tired!...

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

    Burnt2- I tried to PM you, but for some reason it won't work. Some people took some of the core classes ahead of time but most of us didn't. There are pros and cons to each one. The biggest...

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

  23. Good shoes for people with high arches?

    zozzy777 replied to jab41910's topic in General Nursing

    I have found Birkenstock to be the best. They make a white, all enclosed shoe. The thing about Birks is they come with a generic cork insole that molds to your foot with wear. It takes a couple of...

  24. Student loan repayment from hospitals in SW Ohio???

    zozzy777 replied to Deb123j's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Those are pretty good deals. Most hospitals have some form of repayment, but they are not going to be much higher than what you have found. Good
