hell000nurse I just started my first sem. of crna school. I am in my fourth week. I had five years exp. before application. I can tell you right now that you will start out in the very same place as a person with 10 years exp. It is a blessing to...

don't stop with your RN. Next get your BSN and keep going. The world is Nurses osyter. You can be everything or nothing. Just pray about it.

i think u r right. no one should sould do it just for the money, also if the job did not pay more then it would be less likely that a person would invest 75k and 3 years of their life. i like that it can go from something little to everything bad i...

maybe i was not clear. if a highschool student goes all the way to completing their BSN just because of a 1hr speech with some high pay $ in it then the speech was a total success. a person now is in a profession that will feed, house and clothe th...

LackeyRN, there is a score at the end of the test and some of the schools i applied to wanted to see it. one of the schools had a cut off score. if you scored above 100 then the interview was just personal. that means that if u did not make it in ...

rrt thats awsome, I needed something to take there attention away from my GPA.

some other ideas are job security, admired profession, you know highschool kids love money, well anyway good luck with the wolves.

I think if you take the CCRN and score 100 or better then they are less likely to ask hard clinical questions. I took my CCRN close to my interview dates so it was like studying for two test at the same time, without having to study two different ty...

nipa I start CRNA school in 4 days and my advice is to go ahead and take the CCRN. I think it verifies that your knowledge is up to par with moving on into higher education plus its just another in feather in you hat. Can't hurt, and the only thing...

Happy has the right idea. I start CRNA school this fall and have not worked since the end of MAY. I have enjoyed moving and getting settled before school starts. My wife is a L/D nurse and she took off a month before school started. We realized t...

hellooonurse I have the palm treo 680 with several programs for school in it and I think it works great. I know a MDA that had the 680 first and then with the new trend and bought the iphone. He used the iphone for three months and then went back t...

reformedlibarian what u wish to accquire is very much in ur reach. I finished my ADN with a 2.7. After two years of working I then obtained my BSN with a 4.0. My total average was 3.3. My last 60hrs was a 3.9. I start CRNA school in Aug. 08. If ...

ljmb Sounds good, just don't stop giving it your all. Try hard and PRAY harder.

jsteele99 I love the beach and lucky for u I love beer also. I could meet u there sometime in early August. I will bring my wife and kids if you will do the same. See ya there. I will call and get the condo.

radrn2001 I just moved from east tx to baton rouge a few months ago with my family.

I am from east tx, but now living in baton rouge, LA. I start AUG 15 for my first day as a SRNA. I think that I will not take any tution reimbursement or sign on bonus in trade for a higher hourly rate. Which will pay off during overtime hrs. Plu...

jls189 has the right idea, touch much time and money are invested when trying to get a license for every app. usually a school only requires a lic. before class starts, which will me at least four months after u r accepted. good luck.

radrn2001, it was calm and easy going. nursing and personal questions. class of 30 people. three interviewers who where all very nice. it is what u make of it. be on point. hard to remember certain ?'s but I can say that the ?'s were not simple...

what ?'s might u have. List them out and I will reply

ljmb I start CRNA school in Aug 08. I did not get to read my letters but I am sure they said positive things just like yours. My personal opinion is that a positive letter will not make or break u. It's the person doing the interview that has your...

agent, the truth is that the women luv the male nurses, it's so easy to make it through the day. I have been a CVICU RN for six years and have yet to wipe someones backside. I work a deal with the females. If I help them get there pts up, then the...

nor is my grammar very appropriate

vaccrn, I commend u but do not envy u, we all have different ways. If I have a free second, then I will put it to good use with the wife or kids. U are for sure a go getter.

Not sure what a pm is but if u have some ?'s feel free to ask, there are aren't any strangers here. I am not very savy with this site yet.

Great job ab28. If the school excepted you on 1.5 years exp. then they thought that you were wise beyond your years. Where are you going to school. I think that you will do great. I start at Our Lady of the Lake in August. Good luck and never fo...
