I started CRNA school at 27. I will be 30 when I graduate.

Yeah I'll be there. You?

I'll be there :-) Currently living at Bermuda Islands Apartments. It's super nice here. Moved here a few months ago from out of state. There are several current Wolford students who live here as well. It's minutes from campus and the beach!

I'll be attending there. Also have a friend that will be attending. I currently live in Naples already. Moved down here a few months ago because my fiancé began working down here at the local hospital. We live in Bermuda Islands and my friend is ...

Hey guys. Feel free to ask any questions about anything. I wish everyone the best of luck with their journey to CRNAville as well.

I actually looked for a school that was around some of my family members and that's a big reason why I chose Wolford College in Naples, FL. I was living in St. Louis but didn't have any family there so I was looking to move. Luckily Wolford is a CR...

Hey! You are right you will need to first get your BSN and then your ICU experience. During school I would definitely focus on getting a good GPA. After graduation just focus on getting great clinical experience. Look at schools that you are inte...

I applied for Spring 2012 and have interview in September. Does anybody know what the Wolford interview is like? Thanks for any advice :) :) :)

I took the NCLEX-RN this morning and it stopped at 87 questions. I had 7 SATA, 2 exhibits, and 2 dosage calculations. I feel like 87 is such a weird number the the exam to end at. Have you or anyone you know passed the NCLEX-RN with a "strange" am...

Yeah! I passed!! PVT worked :-)

It is true. Starting in April of 2010 the new format began. There is an increase in percentage of medications that you will be asked as well as they are testing the new "audio" format. If you receive an audio question it does not count against you as...

I took NCLEX-RN this morning and got 87 questions. Had 7 SATA, 2 exhibits, 2 dosage calcs, lots of priorty and a few isolation. I got the "good pop up" when I got home when trying to re-register on pearsonvue so I feel more at ease now. My prepara...

I got the "good" pop up so hopefully that means something! Ahhhhh!!! Saturday morning can't come fast enough!!

Hey everyone! My question is regarding trauma centers. Does your ICU experience have to come from a Level I, II, or III trauma center? Has anyone ever gotten into or know someone that has gotten into anesthesia school and their ICU experience was ...

I got kinda of lucky because there is a student in my BSN program right now who's parents are both CRNA's at local hospitals by me. I just asked the student if it would be "ok" to contact one of the parents and ask to shadow. It worked and now I sh...

For everyone who has taken orgranic chemistry, I was wondering if you guys had to take General Chemistry I, General Chemistry II, and then Organic Chemistry? I've been noticing that there is a chemistry pathway for the "health professions" and then ...

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I saw that both St. John's and Barnes offer a fellowship program in the ICU/CCU. I'm going to keep my eye on them and maybe try and get a tech position with one of those hospitals during school. Thanks again!

Ha, how did you guess that I have CRNA in mind :) Dealing with the heart is the most interesting thing to me, so it works out kind of nice that CRNA schools prefer experience in the CVICU! Thanks for the advice and I have a friend who just finished...

Thank you very much for the information that you provided :) I will most definitely check into it as it as it has been a bit difficult finding some online chem classes. Thanks again!

Becca, I have interest in going into an ICU type position after graduation and was wondering if you had any insight into how I can make this happen. I've heard it can be difficult to get an ICU job right out of school but at the same time I've seen ...

Oh yeah! I just found out that I have been accepted into UMSL's Traditional BSN clinicals starting in Fall 08'. I'm super pumped and ready to begin :) Anybody else out there find out that they will be starting in Fall 08' too? LET THE GAMES BEGIN :ye...

Congrats on getting into the accelerated program by the way! I forgot that I still have to take that junior level writing class and that with the A&P 2 was why she didn't want me to apply because that is alot of work to squeeze into an accelerat...

I applied for the Fall 08 clinicals and my advisor (Susan) called me on Friday and said the letters will be going out this week for acceptance. I'm really nervous and hope that I got in, as I'm part of the new admissions policy where it is solely of...

Kittyn, It shouldn't really matter as long as you do well in the class, like getting an A :)

Neurogeek, There are a couple of schools (Missouri State, Barnes-Jewish) that I'm interested in that do require at least 3 credit hours in o-chem. Plus, I believe that it will better prepare me and also allow me to stand out from other applicants, s...
