  1. Stethoscope for school. Input?

    TangoLima replied to lainith's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Some people in my class have used the Sprague throughout NS without any problems. If you don't have the money to spend, you will probably be OK with it. You will learn to tune into the different...

  2. I seem to know less the most

    TangoLima replied to Javeed's topic in General Students

    Make an appointment with the school you are interested in and find out "exactly" what pre-reqs you need to take. Find out when you need to apply. How many applications they typically receive and how...

    TangoLima replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    ...when you use your spring break, winter break, thanksgiving break, etc. to clean the house you've neglected for the last 4 months. ...when none of your friends/family can relate to how you're...

  4. Looking for Barry or UNF grads!!!!

    TangoLima replied to difficultdecision's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am a BSN student at UNF graduating this May. UNF's program hasn't graduated their first CRNA class yet, so you won't hear from any graduates. I don't know a whole lot about the program vs. other...

  5. grades?science?my plan

    TangoLima replied to ragdoll6's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Being a freshman in high school, you have a long time to decide what you want to do, and things tend to change over the years. You may change your mind many times about what direction you want to go...

    TangoLima replied to com4table's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi, I don't know anything about Western Carolina, but was considering applying there. Do you know anything about their anesthesia program? What is their reputation? Good clinical sites? Do you know...

  8. Columbia SC Hospitals??

    TangoLima replied to TangoLima's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your post. That gives me some good insight. I was really interested in Lexington due to it's proximity to where we want to move to. I wanted to know if it was a decent place to work. Do you...

  9. BS to RN to CRNA...more difficult than I thought?

    TangoLima replied to smf5083's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was 2 semesters away from a BS in Computer Science when I switched majors. I have been going to school since 1998, and I am 33 years old. I am finally graduating this May with a BSN and am also...

  10. Which path to take?

    TangoLima replied to forchunet's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You are in an enviable situation. To only be 19 and have all that time. To put it in perspective, I am 33 and graduating in May. I too want to go into CRNA, but will be almost 38 before finishing if...

  11. GUILT-RIDDEN: inputs needed

    TangoLima replied to godsgem's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I understand your feeling. I too have the same sort of struggle, but for different reasons. I am just finishing up my BSN program, so I have a couple years before I can even start applying. My son is...

  12. Is it okay to go to a community college?

    TangoLima replied to Chloe8043's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Of course, everyone has their own issues to deal with, so if you have to go the Comm College route, then by all means, go for it. However, in order to go to CRNA school, you will have to get a BSN...

  13. What is it really like?

    TangoLima posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hello all, I am a senior in nursing school and will graduate in May 08. Ever since I decided to change my major to nursing, all thru prereqs, application process, and nursing school so far, my...

  14. How old is everyone?

    TangoLima replied to TangoLima's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for your post. Sounds like we will be in the same boat. I particularly appreciated your comment about still wanting kids. I have a son who just turned 8 last week. I know I don't want to have...

  15. Anyone presently going to UNF?

    TangoLima replied to RN724's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Me again. Well, I forgot I was on the SRNA forum. I'm not an SRNA....yet. I am in the BSN program, but my intention is to go the CRNA route. I don't know a whole lot about the CRNA program itself, but...

  16. Anyone presently going to UNF?

    TangoLima replied to RN724's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi, I am currently attending UNF. I'm in 4th semester and graduate in May. I have had mostly good experiences so far. I don't have anything different to compare to, but I have been happy with the...

  17. Technical question for CRNA

    TangoLima posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm a senior nursing student hoping to become CRNA one day. I was in the OR a couple weeks ago observing pediatric patients, and had an anesthesia question. Should have asked at the time, but alas I...

  18. Technical question for CRNA

    TangoLima replied to TangoLima's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ok, yes, that sounds like it makes more sense. I really didn't think propofol did anything for swelling, but makes sense if the surgeon said "swallowing". Thanks for the

  19. How old is everyone?

    TangoLima replied to TangoLima's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks so much for the insight. I have been wondering what is a realistic age to which one can work as an anesthesia provider. I know life isn't over when one turns 40 , but wanted to know how long I...

    Hello all, I am a senior in nursing school and will graduate in May 08. Ever since I decided to change my major to nursing, all thru prereqs, application process, and nursing school so far, my...

  21. How is CRNA really?

    TangoLima replied to TangoLima's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you for your insight. I don't mean to make it sound like it's all about the money, it's not, and I do understand the seriousness of the profession. That's why I'm trying to get a better insight...

  22. What else do I need?

    TangoLima replied to nurselizk's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am so glad you asked this question. You sound very much like me. Although I have great GPA and expect to do well on GRE, I take a while to come out of my shell, so to speak. Although I get along...

  23. CRNA Questions

    TangoLima replied to gapeach427's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have been looking at 3 different programs. I don't know about NICU, but I do know that they don't accept PICU experience (and I really think they don't accept NICU either). They were looking for...

  24. Wondering if this was in my head...

    TangoLima replied to justme1972's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am looking at applying to 3 programs, and none require Chem to apply. Chem was a requirement for nursing school, so I think most programs assume if you are an RN, you have had Chem. Oddly enough,...
