  3. What went wrong????

    californianurse replied to heartrn35's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Tell them that! What you just wrote. You may want to call up Pitt and ask how often you can check to see if an alternate spot opened up. I've heard of people doing that which worked well in their...

  5. Aana & Tcu

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

    ...Almost! My deposit check cleared, so it's beginning to feel less and less like a dream. Once I have my TCU ID, student loans and a place on campus, it will feel real for me. Oh yeah, and that whole...

  7. What went wrong????

    californianurse replied to heartrn35's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    HeartRN35, Did you make alternate at any of the schools? I agree with all of the above posters, especially with contacting each program and speaking with the directors. They will let you know why you...

  12. I'm in... with one year experience

    californianurse replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey Just, Sorry if I offended you. I had a few moments during my night shift and wrote that at 2:30 am my time. I realize that AANA requires critical care experience, vs. my comment of ICU experience....

  14. I'm in... with one year experience

    californianurse replied to Forrest Forrest Gump's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just curious One_CRNA, why do you think that CRNA school requires only one year of ICU experience in order to gain admission, if it's so much more beneficial to have 3-5 years of practice? I wondered...

  17. tuition reimbursement

    californianurse replied to MJB's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I thought that there were some hospitals that do a student loan "forgiveness" (or whatever they call it) after you become an employed CRNA there. So, part of their "sign on bonus" would include money...

  18. TCU or U Penn?

    californianurse replied to valerinna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    By the way, does anyone know of a website to find all board passing rate stats for NA school? I went to AANA.com, COA, CCNA resources, Wikipedia, Google, etc and I can't find such a website. I would...

  20. Maintaining certifications

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

    Someone from AACN just called me back. She said that hours worked in the role of the nurse anesthetist o of a student nurse anesthetist count toward certification, as long as you have 432 hours of...

  21. Good Reasons to Become a CRNA

    californianurse replied to FockerRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You could always say something like, "I'm looking for more of a challenge, and I enjoy the culture of the OR". You can definitely answer that question "do you want to get out of bedside nursing" in a...

  22. Need Advice...Preparing to apply

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

    Laura, you are phenomenal! Have you thought about calling each school and telling them what you just wrote on this forum? I've found schools to be very honest with candidates. If they think you need a...

  23. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

    californianurse replied to jrec's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    :tku: all for your stellar support! We'll have to get together for a meal/drink a few days before orientation. I can't wait! Oh, and, we should definitely do a "class night" where we go to at least...

    californianurse posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm about to turn in my application to Samuel Merritt College's CRNA program located in Oakland, CA. I was wondering if anyone has had experience with the school and what that was like. I read the...

  25. TWU Attrition Rate?

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

    You weren't rude at all! I didn't even know TCU's attrition rate, so I must have misheard the information at TWU in the DVD. Attrition rates did not come up in my personal interview. Honestly though,...
