   gastoker replied to retuRN's topic in SRNA

   I think you misunderstood what I was saying. I know someone in this most recent class at UC to graduate.... 4 students from their class plus 2 others from the previous year who were given another shot were "let go" from UC. That makes 6 total from 1 ...

   Oh, it has and I know a guy who was in that class. It included 2 other students from a previous year. All in all it ended up being 6 students total. On average UC loses 2-3 per class. They find the "weak link" and they get rid of them. That's the way...

   Of course a graduate is not going to complain about the attrition rate. Why would they? What about the poor soul who gave up his/her job, moved to a different city or state, and went into a tremendous amount of debt. What about the time they spent aw...

   UC's attrition rate is terrible. Anyone who has a 6-8% attrition rate is not good. Compare this to Akron which has less than a 1% attrition rate over 15 years!! UC can't even come close to this. So essentially every class that UC has they lose 2-3 st...

   "The small class size allows each student to get personal attention and individually-tailored clinical experience, as well as build lasting relationships with faculty members and classmates. " I have to also comment on this. Most CRNA programs have s...

   gastoker replied to BuckeyeNurse12's topic in SRNA

   I would NOT attend UC's program. UC has an attrition rate of like 6-8% which is terrible for any program to have. There should not be attrition rates this high at any graduate level program. Especially one where someone has quit their job in an inten...

   I got in at Akron! I'm excited to begin. It was a tough interview but I hung in there. You can't over prepare. That's the best thing to do. Good luck to everyone!

9. University of Akron Interview

   gastoker replied to johnson.2614's topic in SRNA

   johnson, I was trying to send you a message but not sure how to do that. I am applying to Akron this year and wanted to see if you could give me any words of wisdom on the interview, the classes thus far, teachers, etc. Everything you can would be gr...

10. University of Cincinnati CRNA

    gastoker replied to retuRN's topic in SRNA

    I personally would look elswhere for another program. I have a friend who went there and said the program is not that good. The only reason they get the "ranking" they do is because of the clinical experience. They are in a huge transitional period w...

11. Mountain State University CRNA/SRNAs

    gastoker replied to FINDURPASSION's topic in CRNA

    I am currently a student at MSU and I must say the program is very challenging from all aspects. It is not easy and there are some problems that need to be addressed to make the program run smoother. We do have a new director in which the old one res...
