  1. How do your guys calculate GRE score?

    cnmtocrna replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have to disagree about the sex thing. For one thing, life being a sexually transmitted condition would not exist without sex, so you wouldn't be here to lament the presence of your bothersome...

  2. ASN -> CRNA? NP? MD?

    cnmtocrna replied to babymeena's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Does your wife want to be a CRNA as much as you want her to be one?? Just wondering. All relationships are different, I know, but it does seem a little strange how much you think and write about the...

  3. few ??'s for CRNA's

    cnmtocrna replied to chaosRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    The beauty of being a nurse is that there are so many different things one can do....I was a labor and delivery nurse for a year, then a midwife for 11 years and now I am an ICU nurse gaining...

  4. few ??'s for CRNA's

    cnmtocrna replied to chaosRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    In response to the question as to whether the nurse anesthesia profession is like nursing in that there is always new stuff to learn......It IS nursing, advanced practice nursing. I'd be a little...

  5. BSN sophomore standing for CRNA apps

    cnmtocrna replied to MJB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Take a deep breath and calm down...I got tense just reading your post. Your goals are great and you are motivated, but you are not going to enjoy the journey as much if you stress out about this....

  6. Stamina, fitness & CRNA stress--how do you manage?

    cnmtocrna replied to Toby's mum's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes you absolutely can stay in shape, and you will be better for it. I went to midwifery school 13 years ago and watched the other 15 students gain weight. I would swim at the lunch hour for 1/2...

  7. Informal survey for those who have applied to CRNA school

    cnmtocrna posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    In a recent post someone mentioned that it is not unusual to spend 5 years in an ICU prior to being accepted into a program. Here is my question - How many years of ICU nursing experience did each of...

    cnmtocrna replied to cnmtocrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  10. What's a Typical day like for a CRNA?

    cnmtocrna replied to eng_nurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    To answer your question about why I stopped midwifery practice to persue anesthesia- and let me add to the GRE question - you could submit your scores if they are no older than 5 years. I became a...

  11. What's a Typical day like for a CRNA?

    cnmtocrna replied to eng_nurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Regarding the waiving of GRE for people with Master's - I have a Master's in Nursing and am applying to several schools. Two waive the GRE, one waives the MAT (does not accept the GRE), and one acted...

  12. Question for all you "gas passers"

    cnmtocrna replied to shodobe's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Mike, don't take this personally, but your logic is flawed. Advanced practice nursing is not pseudo-medicine. There is nothing wrong with getting a degree in nursing in order to become a CRNA or a...

  13. help please

    cnmtocrna replied to gooser's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Gooser - I sure can relate to what you are feeling. I am also in the process of applying (for 2005), and am now in the ICU gaining the requisite experience. However, I am not consumed by this...

  15. Grades, Gre Scores, Experience, etc...

    cnmtocrna replied to malraymal's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    FYI II - Please note that above-average numbers do not guarantee admission. I know a number of nurses with very favorable profiles that did not successfully negotiate the admissions game at one school...

    cnmtocrna posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I will be applying for the 1/05 class. I am meeting with the director 11/10, sitting in on a class and meeting with a student who went to my undergrad school (Emory). In general, I think this...

  17. Samuel Merrit College and everone out there(Read me) What do you think? Am I worthy?

    cnmtocrna replied to traumasrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't understand what (last 60 units) means in relation to the stated GPA. Does that mean that you could have an overall GPA of a 3.2, but the last two semesters were spectacular? I have...

  18. question re: accepted to your 2nd choice first

    cnmtocrna posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I hope this makes sense - My 2nd choice school sends out acceptances at about the same time my 1st choice school is conducting interviews. How does one handle this situation? I know the deposit is...

    cnmtocrna replied to SCB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am amazed at your thought process....no wonder everyone is flabbergasted at your remarks. "superior attitude" is putting it lightly...I think it might be more of a delusion of granduer. A smart,...

    In regards to the Master of nursing or nursing science degree vs. non-nursing degree I have something to add... I have a MN degree from my midwifery program from Emory. The nursing theory part of the...
