  4. Highschool student help

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

    My main suggestion is please, just enjoy being 16 right now!!! I suggest you find a CRNA or MDA to talk with and possibly "shadow" them for a day and see if you really are interested the field. And...

  5. Were you turned down?

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

  7. SRNA Senior Project Ideas

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

    Thanks y'all for the couple of suggestions. I'll look into them as I flip through my Cottrell Neuro book (in all my spare time), before my mentor gets on my case again! :chuckle

  8. CRNA Program Requirements

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

    Unfortunately, I think you will have a difficult time getting accepted with your GPA. I got accepted with a 3.3 and an average GRE score and I know of one other classmate who had similar numbers to...

  9. Missing a week of Classes

    SproutRN replied to bwt02's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have to agree that missing 5 days of lecture would be anesthesia school suicide. I was so blown away after my first week of school I wondered why in the world I left a perfectly good job. Even...

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

  12. didactic books

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

    Have you tried E-bay? A couple of my classmates have purchased nice, barely used anesthesia books, for cheap! It's a good option or look at Half.com for used books. I purchased 2 books from them at...

    SproutRN replied to alansmith52's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I kmow what you mean Alan. I too survived my first semester in school and all of my class has made it too. We had a couple we were a bit worried about, but when Jan 5 came around we were all back in...

  14. I got in!!!

    SproutRN replied to Trauma Tom's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Way to go, Tom! I remember the day I got my acceptance letter from Samford. After 5 months of school, I still can't believe it! It is great. I am 35 and the people I study with at school range in...

    SproutRN replied to heimanb's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know you asked about UAB; however, you may want to check into the new program at Samford University in B'ham. I am in their first class which started this past fall. It is a great program started...
