  2. Do CCRN scores matter?

    lovegasRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey everyone, just wondering if the end score that you get on the CCRN matters or do schools just care that you passed? I have several friends who have taken it recently and some just barely passed....

  3. Do CCRN scores matter?

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

    Thanks everyone for all of your input, I appreciate it. So, I took the test and passed but wasn't thrilled with my score because it was less than 100. According to californianurse, a good score is...

  4. MSN vs MS

    lovegasRN replied to linemen30's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    From what I have read on these forums you will not need to get your DNP if you are already a CRNA before 2025, you will be grandfathered in. So unless you have something specific that you will do...

    I know that Midwestern in Arizona doesn't require it and I think one of the schools in Minnesota does not require it either. Sorry, I hope that is at all helpful. Good

  8. Going to CRNA school with a MSN already

    lovegasRN replied to TX_ICU_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would get on the schools you are interested in websites and see if they offer programs for RN's who already have their masters. I am pretty sure that I have seen it while perusing websites but I...

  9. Best GRE study guide?

    lovegasRN replied to sepsis's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've looked into this as well. I found a thread where several people really like the Princeton Review online. It ranges from $99 to $500 depending on how much help/time you want to use it. Hope...

  10. Letters of Recommendation Ideas and Concerns

    lovegasRN replied to michigan nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Are you in good with your nurse educator or any of the charge nurses? I called a couple of schools and they said that by immediate supervisor they mean anything from NM, NE, CN or coworker. Just...

    lovegasRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    lovegasRN replied to 2008el's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Most schools state that they want a reference from your nurse manager and/or immediate supervisor, someone who knows you well clinically. My only concern would be getting the references that you will...

  13. The same question everybody keeps asking...

    lovegasRN replied to jspacegirl's topic in MICU, SICU

    I agree that med surg is a great starting point. I did 2 years of MS before going to the SICU and it totally helped me with time management. You can take care of 6-7 pts with no problem and when you...

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

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

    Do you guys mind if I ask what programs you are in? I just got a bad feeling about combined programs from another thread I read awhile ago so I was kind of trying to stay away from them but you two...

  18. Am I heading in the right direction?

    lovegasRN replied to ali2ala's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think everyone on here will tell you that you will need ICU experience. The OR, although a great experience will not count towards the ICU requirement for admission. I think if you want to pursue...

  19. Nurse Anesthesia or Pharm D????.......

    lovegasRN replied to tuchiha's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well, those are two totally different professions. I would suggest that you shadow a CRNA for a day and a Pharmacist for a day and see which you prefer. Only you can decide which one is the better...

  20. Am I the only one??

    lovegasRN replied to fungirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Could you give us more details on why you are feeling like quitting so those of us who are aspiring to get into school can have a realistic expectation of clinicals? What do you mean you enjoy...

  21. Professional dress

    lovegasRN replied to Becky423's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    lovegasRN replied to cfarley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey guys, I'm confused, maybe one of you can help me out. I called TCU and they told me that you don't travel for clinicals, that they are all in Texas. What you guys are saying seems contradicting....

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

    lovegasRN replied to Mannursemike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It seems like most schools state on their websites that they mainly look at the last 60 hours of your grades. They of course will also look at other things like your GRE scores and you could always...

    lovegasRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
