  1. "Must have's" for school and clinical

    NMB IVP replied to vikingirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am almost finished with my didactics. One of the best tools that has helped me through these classes a digital recorder plug-in for my Ipod. After you record it, you can sync it to I-tunes and it...

  3. slower pace CRNA program?

    NMB IVP replied to getinfall's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  4. Haunted by a couple of grades

    NMB IVP replied to xenonaut's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Depends on the school in which you apply. Some schools will take your circumstances into consideration. To be frank, some just don't care and go strictly by the numbers. My best advice for you is to...

  5. Samford Interiew

    NMB IVP replied to ctrutocrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Tuition and Fees comes out to about 7350 per semester over 7 semesters. That's about $51,500. Books for first semester will break your heart, but you really don't have to buy but a few after that. My...

  6. Samford University Anyone?

    NMB IVP replied to NMB IVP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My first day was Monday, January 7. As packed as the semester will be, I'm sure they will start on January 5. That's just my guess. First semester is pretty tough. Summer semester isn't so bad. I will...

  7. Must a BSN be completed before an application is sent?

    NMB IVP replied to zima's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Last Year I applied to a school while I was still in the BSN program. I interviewed in August 07 and got in. My BSN degree was still pending. I completed my BSN a week after the interview. I applied...

  8. Pharmacology Software for PDA

    NMB IVP posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Does anyone have suggestions for PDA software to use in the OR? Students at my school are currently using LexiComp. My class was asked last week to make some other suggestions. What are you guys...

  9. Samford University Anyone?

    NMB IVP replied to NMB IVP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Interviewing about 50 something and accepting about 25. Wonderful odds, but it is VERY competitive this

  10. CCRN exam

    NMB IVP replied to jls189's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I bought two books from AACN, but I can't tell you which ones they were. One of them was full of practice questions. I used that one a little bit. The best thing that I did to prepare me for CCRN was...

  11. online BSN prior to CRNA?

    NMB IVP replied to stormymemphis's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think that when it comes to a BSN, all that matters is your piece of paper. The things that matter to CRNA schools are you grades and past experiences. I have an online BSN degree, and I am in CRNA...

  12. Hospitals offering tuition for CRNA School

    NMB IVP replied to thyme39's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am currently on scholarship with a hospital that I used to work for. I am still happy with the decision that I made because of the circumstances. It would take me forever to explain. Basically, alot...

  13. Do I need a BS in nursing when I apply for CRNA programs?

    NMB IVP replied to autumn_sky's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think that you will be able to get in with a BA in sociology and Associates in Nursing. However, I don't know why you can't get into a BS program with a BA in sociology. There are tons of...

  14. Looking at CRNA schools in the Southeast

    NMB IVP replied to droopy1592's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got in with a 3.46, but it was from the alternate list. It all depends on your competition. It also depends on all of your other scores/credentials/references, etc. No one quality makes you a shoe...

  15. Confused 23 year old, needs some encouragement

    NMB IVP replied to GorillaRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am 24 as of today. I started CRNA school in January of this year. I can't wait to graduate. Since being in school, I have met alot of CRNAs. I have yet to meet a CRNA that dislikes their job. Every...

  16. SRNAs with young children

    NMB IVP replied to yeSICU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First of all, everyone is different. But, there are two girls in my class that have children younger than 1 yo, and they are doing fine. One of them actually interviewed on the day after giving birth....

  17. Where are you in your Didactics?

    NMB IVP posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This week marks the halfway point for me in my didactic year. I look back and wonder where the last 6 months has gone. 6 more months to clinical. I can't wait. To those of you that have been in school...

  18. Fall 2009 - Where is everyone applying?

    NMB IVP replied to lovegasRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    4 of the schools that I applied to required a "Goal Statement" "Statement of Purpose" or whatever else you want to call it. The first one that I did was about 750 words. There weren't any clear...

  19. Fall 2009 - Where is everyone applying?

    NMB IVP replied to lovegasRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you go back to the 2nd post in this thread, you can find where I am the one that applied to 10 schools. Is it insane? Absolutely not. If you are one that has a 4.0 GPA and really good GRE, there is...

  20. A day in life of front-loaded program

    NMB IVP replied to srna2008's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don't be intimidated by the high volume of exams. That just means that you have less information on an exam. I attend a front loaded program. It's great except for those times when you just need to...

  21. Not good in chemistry-Any good chance in surviving CRNA school?

    NMB IVP replied to rn2bn07's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No Problem. I took NO chemistry in High School. The only chemistry that I have had was a 3 week course at a community college. The only reason that I took that course was to apply to Samford...

  22. 'clinicals are on a rotating basis'

    NMB IVP replied to missjennmb's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's probably like my school. We go to a different site every 8 weeks. Some of them are local. Others are in different states. However, every clinical site that we go to has a call room that we can...

  23. RN -> BSN -> CRNA ..... Acceptable Path?

    NMB IVP replied to benjaminlox's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've done it. Several of my friends have done it. Where I grew up in South Alabama, there were several ADN schools around home. The BSN programs would require that you move. I graduated High School in...

  24. Samford University Anyone?

    NMB IVP replied to NMB IVP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You might get a clinical question or two. Be prepared. But the clinical questions that you get are related to your current clinical practice. Questions that my classmates and I got were all different,...

  25. Fall 2009 - Where is everyone applying?

    NMB IVP replied to lovegasRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That's great. Apply to as many schools as possible. It will only increase your chances. I applied to 10 schools and got into the 2nd one that I applied to. My advice to you for applying to this many...
