  1. Laptops anyone?

    FLTraumaRN replied to TexnRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Check with you school. I know my school absolutely requires a lap top. In fact, all of our tests are taken on our personal laptop. I bought myself a new one a couple of months ago. I wanted a mac,...

  2. Location vs. Program Ranking

    FLTraumaRN replied to 2bcrna4heisman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    well... you could always study outside by the pool...or on the beach if you don't get distracted. I sit by my pool outside with some books at

  3. Car Loan?

    FLTraumaRN replied to mitch8lem's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That's a good question. Loans are hard to come by right now...especially private loans that cover above the costs of the school. You will have to look at your over all financial status...and look...

  4. Location vs. Program Ranking

    FLTraumaRN replied to 2bcrna4heisman's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think there are lot of factors to consider. 1- Review the curriculum. Front loaded vs integrated. Talk to the program or maybe students in the program. 2- Cost. This is really important if you...

  5. "PRIVATE/ALTERNATIVE" LOANS for SRNAs

    FLTraumaRN replied to msnursealot's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    hi all-- i have been doing my research on non-certified private loans and it's a little scary. i thought i would post some of my research. the six links below are all still offering non-certified...

  6. How Breast Surgery Killed A Florida Teen

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

    CoolHand- It is not standard procedure nor acceptable for a surgical center to perform general anesthesia without the correct amount of dantrolene. I work in a recovery room of a surgical center....

  7. Going to CRNA school with a MSN already

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

    HI there....I don't know how much I can help, but will give it a try. 1) I am guessing that you would probably have to. There may be a school out there, but none that I know of that would do some...

  8. Loans- How much were your CRNA school loans?

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

    Hi there- I am starting this fall at FIU in Miami. The total tuition will probably be less than 30,000. Not too bad. But, I would caution potential students to pick a school that fits them...

  9. front loaded didactic vs mixed

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

    Lovegas- I think it's a personal preference in which type of program you will do best in. I personally like learning hands on and feel I would do worse in a completely front loaded program. So, I...

  10. Excelsior College

    FLTraumaRN replied to yemiwalters's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I didn't go to Excellsior, but I did do an online program for my BSN. When I interviewed for school the program director actually said he liked the online learners because you have to be more...

  11. travel icu nurse

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

    Hello there- I am starting CRNA school this coming August and had many years as a travel nurse. During the interview you can point out the benefits of being a travel nurse. These include...

  12. How are my chances for CRNA??

    FLTraumaRN replied to curlysin's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would agree. You can't get around the 1 year of critical care experience. I would reccomend starting in a busy ICU and while you are getting your experience, make an appointment with the director...

  13. Not happy in the ICU - would I like CRNA?

    FLTraumaRN replied to raininghere's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think we all find aspects of our job that we dont' like or don't agree with. I think the same could be said for CRNA's. You need to find something that you like more than you dislike. CRNA may be...

  14. **Should I switch hospitals for better experience??**

    FLTraumaRN replied to SoReady4CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would definitely look into it. If your goal is CRNA than a busier ICU will definitely help you in the application process. Plus, it's a good answer to the typical interview question "what have you...

  15. Professional dress

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

    Your goal in the interview is to sell yourself. To convince them that they want you in their program. I say go for the suit. Look and act professional. I wore a suit to my interview and trust me I...

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

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

    Shaun- There is no quick route to becoming a CRNA. You have to be a RN with at least 1 year of ICU experience. It would probably take you 4 years or so to get your RN degree and then you have to...

  17. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

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

    Who's going to Anesthesia school??? I AM!!! Can't tell you how excited and how freaked out I am. Glad I have a couple of months to go. I am accepted at Florida International- Starting fall of...
