  1. January 2012 Barry University CRNA program

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why provisional. If you don't need your CCRN, don't get it. You can read baby miller if you have nothing else to do, but most stuff will be taught. Other books may be too difficult until you actually...

  2. Non Degree Seeking Graduate Student

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

    You can find them online. I know the university of new england offers some, I think University of North Carolina offers some, but they are expensive. Have to google around to find, or research a bit...

    Sounds great! I know a couple of us so far. PM me. Are you in the headstart program? There are a couple of us in the headstart and just met some at the FANA mtg this weekend. Getting close to really...

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Basic stuff. Good GRE, good experience, good grades, hone your interview skills. Get advanced chem under your belt, shadow several times. If you have time, some recommend getting graduate level...

  7. CRNA APPS--UM/FIU/BARRY

    fyrace replied to Nishas22's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm in Barry with similar stats, less experience and no CCRN, however have other perks that helped. You should be fine at least for an

  8. online intro to organic and biological chemistry vs. classroom

    fyrace replied to 34nmotivated's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you are just trying to refresh, then online may be okay, but organic and biochem is tough. Is it online where you have a teacher lecturing, or is it online where you read and figure it out...

  9. How do schools view/accept classes which are retaken?

    fyrace replied to Hartley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not so sure you should hold up applying to retake this class, especially at a community college level. If you were to retake them to show you are motivated, I would retake upper division or grad...

  10. Quickest Route Possible

    fyrace replied to Pitt2013's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think the average nurse with one year experience won't get into school anyways, so it is essentially a moot point. Competition is fierce and you have to have something that stands out above the...

  11. January 2012 Barry University CRNA program

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What I mean is that there is so much work in this program when you start full time, you will be busting your butt and have no time. A very hard program and I was told taking the headstart

  12. What do schools really look at in applicants?

    fyrace replied to scott brown's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Retake your GRE. Some schools don't even touch you with less than 1000. Some weigh other factors besides GRE, but it still is a standard you must

  13. Quickest Route Possible

    fyrace replied to Pitt2013's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You are looking at only the partial picture. I got in with one year ICU experience, but had Org I, II, Biochem, good GPA/GRE and 15 years as a medic. Its doable, but you have to have other supporting...

  14. January 2012 Barry University CRNA program

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was told by the end of your first year you will be running your own room. Means you run the surgery, just as if you were employed, you are on the schedule, you get vacation...etc. You move fast and...

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have not. Sorry. Only thing I heard was no books for the Prof Aspects. Did you get a syllabus or anything? Which cohort did you pick? I'm Orlando. Anyways, if you pm me you email I can let you know...

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Getting registered today for the Chem and Prof Aspects classes. I will be working full time through the fall but it is with the fire department so I shouldn't have any issues. My last shift on the...

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am wondering the same, more so to get my room and board in order, however I was told, unofficially, by a current student it starts the second week of January, but again, I don't have an exact date....

  20. low undergrad gpa?

    fyrace replied to nursemastermike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Some school, like Barry, weigh the last 60 credits more favorably, knowing your early years may not have been good. My first year out of college I was in the mid 2.5s with my GPA, just graduated with...

  21. Applying for FIU/UM CRNA program

    fyrace replied to Nishas22's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your stats look good, just don't limit to two programs. Problem is what do the other competitors look like? You will probably never know. I say apply and get your interview skills in order and good...

  22. Lying about wanting to become a CRNA to Managers?

    fyrace replied to Hartley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You want honesty or to run the risk of not getting into school? After you get passed up two or three times for being "honest" and you wind up years behind your colleagues who are finished with school,...

  23. Lying about wanting to become a CRNA to Managers?

    fyrace replied to Hartley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Keep it to your self or say you are just going to continue with education and work towards a masters degree. You are not lying, but telling the story as you want it told. Some places black ball you...

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    For those of you recently accepted was there any word of when paperwork needs to start being filled out? I am curious so I can tell my employer I am resigning and I want to make sure all the paperwork...

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Need at least 1000 for most schools. Grad level courses would help, just depends on what they are. Get your basics, do well, get your experience, do well, CCRN which will help, shadow and get some...
