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

    Everyone pray and cross your fingers for me getting into TCU! I've been having PVCs the last couple of days, worrying about my letter. Congrats to everyone who got in. I'll keep you posted and...

  3. Nervous about telling co-workers

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

    I think it really depends on the culture of your unit. Everyone I've told is really happy for me and sad to see me go, including the physicians. I've made it clear to my colleagues that I do not think...

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

    blas311, I got my letter from TWU on Friday. I was actually told at the interview that I got in, but I didn't want to talk about it on the forum until I received the official letter and after...

  5. ICU experience: full or part time?

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

    serengeti, Would you be able to do part time in both positions until a full time ICU spot opens up for you? Working ICU and becoming a CRNA will undoubtedly be worth it. You may want to ask Quigly...

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

    Maybe it's a good thing I haven't heard from TCU yet. I have a half marathon tomorrow morning, and if I don't get accepted, I know that would really get into my head during the race. So, I will enjoy...

  8. Nervous about telling co-workers

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

    I love RTs and I tell them how paramount they are to the well-being of the unit! My nursing school taught us to have a great respect for RTs, and it definitely stuck with

  9. ICU experience: full or part time?

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

    Have you thought about working part time days in the ICU until a full time day position opens up?? I think the sooner you get in, the better. Schools do ask your supervisor (clinical lead or whatever...

  10. need advice

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

    You DO NOT NEED TO WORK MED-SURG before going into the ICU. New grad positions are posted for a reason. They should have a decent orientation program and work you into more complicated patients as...

  14. Chances of getting in ? Barry and FIU

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

    Hey JeremyMcClary, your numbers are great, and the fact that you've taken care of pts on those drips, CVVHDF and IABP should get you in. Sure your GPA could be a little bit higher (also remember they...

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

    Neurogeek, dude! I will be thoroughly shocked if Wesleyan and TCU aren't knocking down your door asking you to go to their school in the fall. I was just reading that you have your CNRN and CCRN...

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

  18. Where's everyone working and what's it like?

    californianurse posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm a pre-CRNA student for 2010. I've been accepted into one program and am waiting to hear from others. I'm just wondering if you would mind describing your new-grad experience. I know that CRNA 2007...

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

    californianurse replied to crna2b2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  25. Is the GRE as hard as it looks?

    californianurse replied to mommy2BCD's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think it really depends on how well you take standardized tests. A review class will help show you shortcuts and will force you to study/learn a little bit. The people I know who did well studied a...
