  1. Critique my application

    Screen name replied to SIguy_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don't sell yourself short. Apply to schools that will give you the best experience and enable you to market yourself versus your physician counterpart. If some of those require GRE, I would get it out...

  2. Best place to apply

    Screen name replied to Ferndale3's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You look to be pretty competitive. It's a bonus to be willing to move in order to gain the best experience. Just don't sell yourself short. You can pick which school you think will be best. Apply to a...

  3. Raleigh School of Nurse Anesthesia Clinical Experience

    Screen name replied to scgamecock's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would still like to know how many cases are performed and to what

  4. Best place to apply

    Screen name replied to Ferndale3's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    One shouldn't base their decision on solely the potential to get in. You also want a school which will make you a competent anesthesia provider. Placing lines, blocks, etc... You don't want to get...

  5. Average work week/on call hours?

    Screen name replied to msuspartan's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'd honestly like to know who has better. There might be others you consider about equal, but in the end we're all working our 40, right? My wife, an NNP has a horrible schedule, but she loves it so...

  6. Chances? Wait 1 or 2 years to apply?

    Screen name replied to tsicuRN1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You look good on paper. Based on the information you posted I think you'd get interviews. However, half the picture is missing - CCRN, GRE and references. I think if you nail those three you won't...

  7. Yes, another question about CRNA pay?

    Screen name replied to wannabanrnin2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Damn... that's pretty

  8. Need a little critique of my plan...

    Screen name replied to kbl7td's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ^^ I love that I'm not the only one who "just wanted to get into CRNA school". Great

  9. Average work week/on call hours?

    Screen name replied to msuspartan's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think I need to explain it to you, of all people :) All in the eye of the beholder I

  10. Average work week/on call hours?

    Screen name replied to msuspartan's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It would depend on where you work and the type/size of the practice as well as other factors. Could be no call. Could be every weekend. Could be voluntary. You won't know until you apply for jobs. And...

  11. Yes, another question about CRNA pay?

    Screen name replied to wannabanrnin2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Air traffic controller Petroleum engineer Network/ IT manager Real estate broker Investors Certified landman The master tech / shop foreman at Infiniti (where I worked before nursing) made 6 figures....

  12. AA student contemplating CRNA track...advice?

    Screen name replied to tangeorine's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Probably not. Because AA's to CRNA's may still carry with them an alternative agenda. Can you imagine, not that it would happen, but an AA becoming a higher up in the AANA? Much like CRNA's who become...

  13. Anesthesiology Assistant

    Screen name replied to Peanut&Buttercup's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why would you limit your opportunities and play the ***** of an MDA all day long? I doubt it'll ever be widely accepted. They've been around for decades and continue to lag in jobs and expansion......

  14. Need a little critique of my plan...

    Screen name replied to kbl7td's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Perfect. I wouldn't be too worried. You'll more than likely get

  15. Yes, another question about CRNA pay?

    Screen name replied to wannabanrnin2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What if the experience is good. What if you can't find another. What if you have to move. What if... Not a fun way to live life. What if you could make great money, have great benefits, be close to...

  16. Yes, another question about CRNA pay?

    Screen name replied to wannabanrnin2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not sure what is going on in South Bend, but there is an MDA job posting there for 130-150. However, other parts of the state have postings for MDAs up to 600. In contrast, other areas of the state...

  17. Yes, another question about CRNA pay?

    Screen name replied to wannabanrnin2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wouldn't think a CRNA would take a job paying 105. Why sell yourself so short? The MDA isn't making 105 while doing the same

  18. Need a little critique of my plan...

    Screen name replied to kbl7td's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have a few questions to better understand... They way I see it you'll have 1 year CCU and 1 year ICU experience when you apply - are these at a level 1? What type of ICU is it? Which of the courses...

  19. Letter of recommendation (LOR)

    Screen name replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Haha! I would have thought it's implied that you request recommendations from those who can give an accurate and detailed letter. I made it a goal to recover those sick patients that the head surgeon...

  20. Letter of recommendation (LOR)

    Screen name replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Is this still for TCU, or are you broadening your application range? I agree with badgernurse - you need quality letters from 'bigwigs': Directors of surgery/units/programs - just looks good for...

  21. Letter of recommendation (LOR)

    Screen name replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Right. So with the form I had them check the boxes and for comments they put, "Please see letter". I had actual letters to go along with the forms. If the school wanted 3 forms/letters I was sure to...

  22. Feeling hopeless about future after only 6 weeks into Nursing school

    Screen name replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ^ Excellently written. One step at a time. Don't shoot for CRNA if you can't see yourself being an ICU nurse for

  23. no CCRN...even worth it to apply?

    Screen name replied to RNnomad's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yikes...

  24. Realistic chances of being accepted into a CRNA program

    Screen name replied to RN2486's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just apply. Why would you let anything stop you? Can't have that

  25. GRE scores

    Screen name replied to icu_rn88's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Correct. There was a study some months back in the AANA journal which concluded that undergrad GPA is a better predictor of grad school success. And the GRE could, or could not be reliable. Most...
