Soooo, that incentive for the contract position in radiology is, all of a sudden, not so attractive.

Hi guys. I'm new here. I'm so glad that I found this site. Lots of good info here. Here's my situation. 2 years in OR. Just finishing RN-BSN program. GRE verb 490, analy 660, quan 550. GPA 3.2. Started CVICU 6 months ago, but was demoted to ...

Quick, while it's still FRESH on your mind. Which study guides in terms of books are best for the boards. AND good luck to you. tae

I'm at my wit's end. I am one of the CRNA hopefuls that has been broken by the competitive admissions. I have very good GRE scores, 2 years experience in a level 2 inner city trauma center ICU, and 3.2 GPA. I did interview at VCU a year and half a...

Thanks to everyone for the encouraging replies. You all have given me lots to think about. No, I stopped applying because I knew that I had infertility issues therefore wanted to concentrate on getting pregnant and IT WORKED. I have a beautiful (d...

This is also on my mind heavily right now. I've wanted to be a CRNA every since I started my nursing career (circulating in the OR). I recently had a baby and decided to start a local FNP program. I've only been in school for 3 weeks now and I'm p...

C-thor, Good luck in your clinicals. I'm sure you'll do great. You definitely seem to have it all together. I'm hoping to hear from VCU by next week. Dontae

I don't know how to solve your question, but when I saw your heading, I thought you might be in my shoes, because I'm about to have a TIA waiting to hear from a school that I interviewed at a little over a month ago. I'm about to burst and just need...

Congratulations!!! But come on now, you know we wanna know where you got into, and what your interview was like. I have my first interview this week and I'm sooooooooo nervous. Again, congrats to you.

Cheekyteeka, I commend you for taking the initiative (sp??) and utilizing the web to get ready to re-enter this field. zrmorgan gave great paramaters and I'm sure someone at your job will help you get reacquainted with your responsibilities.

That does sound like a great interview. I hope you get in. Gooser, I'm interviewing at VCU. I am so excited. It's my first interview and it's also my first choice.

We're waiting................ I can't wait to hear about your interview. Mine is next Thursday. I am experiencing short periods of extreme confidence coupled with periods of extreme nervousness. I wish you all the luck Dontae

Yes, VCU is Virginia Commonwealth Univ. I'm not sure what got me an interview. GPA of 3.2. GRE =1730. I currently have about 10 months of SICU/CVICU experience at a large teaching hospital. ACLS & PALS certified. Whatever it was, I hope it'...

I just got my first interview ever and it's at my 1st choice, VCU. I would love to hear from people who have interviewed at VCU. What was the interview like? I'm really worried about clinical questions. Do they concentrate heavily on clinical? Pl...

I recently overheard some nurses at work making statements that they could never do anesthesia because it was so boring. My first thought was to ask if they had ever shadowed an anesthetist. But my better mind just smiled. Those are two less appli...

Kim Q I am very interested in Marshall. I would love to know what your application and interview process was like. Is there anything you can tell me to help my application. Dontae

2 questions 1. Does anyone know of a school in which I can take statistics and organic chem (without a lab) online this coming spring. I know my 1st choice CRNA school doesn't require the lab. Do you all know if most schools want you to have the o...

Thank you all so much for your information. This is exactly what I wanted to know. I do work in a level II trauma center, and I've seen signs for the TNCC course. I will be starting there next. Again, thanks so much for your info. Dontae

Would you mind telling what school is requiring you to do this. I'm currently applying to CRNA school I, too, haven't read anything about interviewing for a clinical site. Thanks

Congrats to all of you. I totally understand using the ICU as a motivation and reminder of why you're doing what you're doing. Let's face it, people do things for their own personal reasons and it is nobody's place to judge them for it. On a light...

I agree. It does bring a stigma. Who cares? NOT I. I have a beautiful tattoo on my shoulder. You can only see them when I go sleeveless which is never at work. I show them off at times. I appreciate identifying people who judge me by them. I ...

Thought I'd help the person who is answering the phone at U of M in Baltimore's nursing program out. She said that she's had hundreds of calls, but they have not started the program yet. She said that there is a strong possibility that they will,...

Wow, I really think that this got out of hand. In Angel's defense, I must say that when I read her posts, I don't see where she stated that she had a problem cleaning patients. She really did just ask a question and it took about 5 replies before ...

I recently talked to a CRNA who said that in the near future, SRNA's will only qualify to sit for certification if their degree is a Masters of Science in Nursing. I think I've noticed that many programs actually grant different degress like Masters...

Thanks alot for the clarification. Now, I just have to get into one of those schools.
