  2. CRNA school?

    Screen name replied to ecruz1820's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your question is so broad. You need to list some schools your interested in. Some let you work part time, some don't. Some offer housing, some don't. Some offer certain financial help, some don't....

  3. Preparing for GRE

    Screen name replied to Stormy8's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I studied a bit and took it early, leaving myself enough time to study more and take it again before deadlines. This also gives you an idea of your weak areas on the actual exam. Its an expensive way...

    Screen name replied to Tara0219's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Very interesting. If all this is true, then good riddance. Definitely doesn't sound like a school that's producing quality

  5. CRNA school?

    Screen name replied to ecruz1820's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    How about you list some pros and cons of each through the research you've done thus far? Give us an idea of where you're coming

  6. TCU CRNA

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

    They do take into account where 'home' is. They try to keep Texas people in Texas. Reason is, they have clinical sites in Alaska... they have people from Alaska who apply. The people from Alaska want...

  7. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

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

    Again, the pay is not only the result of the responsibilities, but also politics and extra hours put in by those before you. The pay can easily disappear with a new law or a re-write of legislation...

  8. TCU, weslyan clinical sites

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

    I'm sure someone else has had a totally different experience, but here's what I know... TCU you rank on the application. Example 1 - Ft Worth, 6 - Alaska, 3 - Tulsa, OK and so on. They take into...

  9. Those who have started an independent agency...

    Screen name replied to rolexcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I simply asked if you had gained any insight somewhere else to share... if you got bad advice or not substantial enough? I'm not the one being a ''my way or the highway''

  10. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

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

    Dollar signs are great and all, but its hard for people who aren't even in nursing school to grasp the challenges of anesthesia. Not just the acceptance into a program and the long hours afterwards,...

    Screen name replied to rolexcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  12. How to get accepted into CRNA prog.

    Screen name replied to Atmorrison1995's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Because the more paper chasers, the less involvement, the more the field suffers as a whole. People need to understand if it's worth going

  13. Those who have started an independent agency...

    Screen name replied to rolexcrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Didn't you ask this on another forum as well? Why not just take the advice there from others who have done

  14. Hospital policy: no letters of recommendation?

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

    I would jump ship. Doesn't sound right. How can anyone progress within, or out of, the hospital if they aren't "allowed" to write references? Imagine how restrictive they are on their CRNA's. I bet...

  15. Revised GRE

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

    I studied for a week, did worse than you, got interviews, and got accepted. It's a hoop. There are articles in the AANA Journal that show GPA and Cum. GPA are better indicators of SRNA success and...

  16. Any Advice for interviews at Texas Wesleyan and Newman University?

    Screen name replied to BlondieRN0912's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lots of info out there on TWU's interview process. Clinical orientated. Not sure about Kansas, but I assume someone who has interviewed has made a thread before. When is your Wesleyan

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

    You can get an actual letter written if you want to - I did. But visit some schools you are interested in applying to. They have recommendation forms on their website. These are pages of boxes your...

  18. Asking for letters of recommendations

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

    Get in there and see who would even be a good reference. You might work nights and have the night supervisor give you a reference rather than your manager (who wouldn't witness your abilities on a...

  19. what grad degree are you guys going to pursue?

    Screen name replied to edwindelahiggins's topic in Men in Nursing

    Just got into CRNA school and relocated. My wife is also a nurse, and while job searching there are about 5 NP and PA jobs for every 2 critical care nursing jobs and every 1 CRNA job. I have a feeling...

  20. How to get accepted into CRNA prog.

    Screen name replied to Atmorrison1995's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You need to like nursing first. Have you shadowed an ICU nurse (not a CRNA)? There is no guaranty you will get into CRNA school... ever. You need to know that its possible you will be an ICU nurse for...

  21. Crna job market

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

    OP, don't let "the market" dictate what you want to do. If you think you'll love it, want to be part of it and be involved in it - go for

  22. Crna job market

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

    I gave my 2 cents related to the OP's question. As someone who has been a member here for a number years, I was just expressing my thoughts and what I had seen over those years. I'm sure OP...

    The future is always uncertain. Money in the top 5 is fine. If money is at the top, I feel sorry for you. "Mo money, mo prollems" - Biggie Smalls. PS - I would answer "yes" to would I do it for free....

  24. Crna job market

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

    Every market is getting saturated. A lot of people have gone back to school during these harder economic times and business have started to cut jobs or look at how many of each employee they need to...

  25. Accepted to the first school I interviewed at, but still interviewing at others

    Screen name replied to BlondieRN0912's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It just depends on how you look at it. I was asked in my interview. I told them I had only applied to that school. Of course, they asked why and I told them it wasn't about bettering my odds of...
