   JenniferCCRN replied to Elbajista's topic in SRNA

   I am currently in CRNA school, in my first semester. I have a very young family consisting of me, my husband, three children and another one on the way (due in two months). Before school started, I explored financial options and took out the loans I...

3. Shadowing a CRNA

   JenniferCCRN replied to NurseLay's topic in SRNA

   I think that the really important thing is for you to pay attention to what is going on. It is always appropriete to ask "why" when you see something new. My first time shadowing was when I was still in nursing school... I wasn't even working yet. ...

   JenniferCCRN replied to rn326's topic in SRNA

   I am in the middle of my first semester of CRNA school, and am trying to juggle school, studies, clinicals, finances and family. It is a big job. I must say that I seriously spend well over 60 hours a week dedicated toward school. This is much mor...

   Hi! Yes, I'm at VCU right now enjoying all the wonders of the first semester. It really is a good school, although it is very challenging. What makes school extra difficult for me is that I am 7 months pregnant right now. I'd be happy to fill yo...

7. Did i shoot myself in the foot with past grades, or is there still hope?

   JenniferCCRN replied to Mannursemike's topic in SRNA

   I had a GPA of about 2.8 as a music major 10 years ago. This accounted for about 100 credit hours of poor academic performance. When I went back to school for nursing, my GPA was about 3.8. I worked really hard to make up for my past grades by gettin...

    Adonai, I signed up for the medicinal chemistry course last week. I'm still waiting for my password before I can get started. They told me that it will take a couple of weeks to get it. I'll let you know how it goes. If the chem class goes well, I'll...

    I took the princeton review online. I did all the lessons and really worked hard on it for about 2 months. I got 1300 combined score and 6.0 AWA. I definately think it's worth it to take a review course. Don't sell yourself short on this one. Jenni...
