  1. iphone as PDA

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to hell000nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well I just found out that my program requires you to enter all pt data into Typhon and it only accepts Windows Mobile or Palm OS as far as phones go. Guess I will be switching from an Iphone to a...

  2. iphone as PDA

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to hell000nurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have also been looking at this as an option. So far it looks like I will need to get a Palm or similar since I cant find the software I need for my Iphone. Should I get a Palm with Windows or Palm...

  4. 2.5 GPA for BA in English

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to reformedlibrarian's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    They primarily looked at my past 60 hours (thank goodness!) - because I spent my two years of college partying and having a good time. I brought it up before they even had a chance to ask in the...

  5. Should I retake some math classes?

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to sarahneeyah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You make some very, very valid points and I feel I may have been a bit flippant in my first response. I think a good starting point is to take the free online exam on the ETS website to get a rough...

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to Want2Bgasman's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  8. Should I retake some math classes?

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to sarahneeyah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Definately a waste of time and money. Most of the math is from high school believe it or not! You need to focus in on the specific GRE math. I used GRE for Dummies and did fine (1180 and

  10. Is the ETS GRE practice test accurate?

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to jfk6668's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  12. CCU experience sufficient for CRNA school??

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to SoReady4CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Also make sure you arrive a few minutes early for your shift and ask the charge nurse making assignments to please give you the sicker patients. Ask for the vents, swans, IABPs, BiVads, etc. I am sure...

  13. Am I too old for this?????

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to jlcole45's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You have been a nurse for 20 years and you have at least 20 more years to go until retirement. This means you are only half way thru your working life. I know that I am hoping for the second half of...

  14. ASU Jonesboro applicants

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to CCRN-CMC-CSC's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  18. "Accepted" with only a year of experience?

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to brazuca's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  20. "Accepted" with only a year of experience?

    CCRN-CMC-CSC replied to brazuca's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Another bonus would be if your one year of experience was working in a busy, advanced CVICU/CVPACU situation. This is one of the preferred areas of experience. I have been a nurse for 14 years so my...
