Hi. I've successfully completed my Phase I didactic portion and am now 4 months into the Phase II clinical residency which lasts a total of 16 months. I feel very blessed and fortunate to be where I am and have come so far. However, these days I'm ha...

Thank you all so much for your constructive replies. I hate feeling like an idiot all the time, but I truly do want to learn and be the best CRNA I can be. The responsibility is enormous and a bit frightening at times. I hope that everything will com...

Hello. I have a question regarding Decadron. The facility I will be doing clinicals at uses Decadron to prevent PONV. I have always known Decadron to be a great anti-inflammatory drug but never knew it to be utilized for N/V. Can anyone enlighten...

Thank you all so much for this information and for taking the time to respond! It was very helpful.

I start in 3 weeks and I'm scared to death!! Reading these posts has certainly not helped alleviate my anxiety either. Darn.

CRNAs are board-certified to practice independently. The degree of MD supervision is facility-specific only; in other words, although CRNAs can and do practice 100% independently in many settings, specific facilities may require Anesthesiologist su...

Hi everyone. I know there have been several posts in the past regarding the future of CRNA jobs. I am beginning CRNA school this fall and was a bit concerned when one of my facility's highly respected pulmonologists told me tonight that the CRNA fi...

Hello. I'm starting the CRNA program at TCU this fall. I think I may need to ask for some help here. I'm starting to panic a bit as I am going to have to relocate to Fort Worth from Tulsa and still have no idea where I'm going to live when I get t...

Thank you, Gypsynurse! I will definitely consider that option...sounds a lot more reasonable than so many others for sure! I appreciate your feedback. Thanks again and good luck to you as well!!

YEA!! Can't wait for this new chapter in my life to begin! Can't wait to meet all of you! Angela

I'll be there April 30! Not really sure what the Expo is all about, but I'll be there nonetheless. See you there!

Present and accounted for...I'm starting CRNA school at TCU this fall as well. Nice to meet you guys! I, too, am trying to figure out where to live for that first semester. I am moving from Tulsa. I have no clue, but plan on driving down there in...

Yea!! I, too, received my acceptance letter today (I live in Tulsa)!! Congratulations to all that have received their acceptance letters! For those of you that have not yet received yours, I'll bet money it will be waiting in the mailbox tomorrow!...

Would anyone be willing to give me information on how they felt their TCU interview went? I (like everyone else I'm sure) sat before three interviewers. They were all very friendly and polite. I was quite nervous but not overly so as to where I th...

That's definitely a decent score in my opinion. Usually anything over 1000 is competitive, as I understand it. I only scored a cumulative 1010 on my GRE, with a writing score of 4.0 and I received interview letters from all 4 schools I've applied t...

jwcyclone...I was told pretty much the same...180 interviewees for about 80 slots. Good luck to you as well! I'll keep you posted. Right now, I'm just nervous. Two weeks seems like forever to wait!! Ha! Ha! I have an interview at TWU on Monday ...

My interview with Newman isn't until the 30th of this month, so I do not have any insight as of now. I have heard it is a fairly difficult interview where your clinical knowledge is tested fairly extensively (not unlike many schools). I have also h...

Thanks! I did get my Newman interview letter on Dec. 17th. Whew...I was getting a bit nervous there! Congrats on your interview! And good luck!!

I did....have not heard from them yet. Anyone else receive an interview letter from them yet?

I only scored 1010 on the GRE and still somehow managed to get an interview at TCU. Thankfully, they utilize multiple factors in determining whether we are "interview worthy." YEA!! I'm so excited! Good luck to you!
