I currently have been working at Emory University Hospital for 2 years on a med-surg floor. I want to switch to ICU so I can work towards my goal of becoming a CRNA. I believe ICU experience from Emory would look benefical on my resume but I would ra...

I'd be curious to hear more about this as I would like to do the same.

Hi! I'm in CRNA school and wanted to get a more recent expectation of what is to come for graduates. My questions are: 1) How much debt did you have when you graduated? 2) How long did it take you to pay it off? 3) How did you pay it off? (Example: e...

Well the the problem is I also take out loans for cost of living. I'm estimating that by the time I graduate I will have approx $220k in loans which seems like a lot to me lol. I wish there were more loan repayment programs but I realize I'll just ha...

Just thought I'd update the progress on my application process. So far I've applied to 9 schools. I was rejected right away from 3. I interviewed at 2 (and got rejected after the interview at one, still waiting to hear from the other). I have anothe...

I plan on applying to CRNA school this year but I'm trying to figure out if I'll even be considered. I've been a RN since 2011 and started working in the MICU at a large academic teaching hospital last year in June. So here's what I have Nursing GPA ...

I finally got a call today!

I tried to call them on Monday to see if they were inviting people by email or mail. Didn't know they were doing phone calls. I hope to hear from them soon. This wait is awful!

I still haven't heard anything yet

No I haven't heard anything yet.

I sent you one

Hi! I have an interview on Aug 6!

Yeah I'm going to see if I can ask some of my coworkers who got in if I can see their letters they submitted. I think I've gotten better with interviews but I'll study hard and hope for the best!

Well that's good to hear. I was concerned after I got my GRE scores and saw they didn't meet the minimum requirements for some schools. I will def get the CCRN as soon as I qualify.

I'm considering taking an online chemistry class to open up more opportunities for other schools. I haven't taken chem I since 2007. I want to make sure I take an online class that I will get credit for when I apply to CRNA school. I keep seeing thin...

Ok I will check those out. I just want to make sure I don't waste my time and take a class that the schools won't accept. Thank you!

Ok thanks.

I am having a hard time getting over situations when family and/or patients get upset. I start to feel like a bad nurse and taking a different career path. I know I shouldn't get discouraged so easily but I can't stand when people are upset with me. ...

Does anyone know where to find a good nurse extern program? I live about 30 minutes from Atlanta. I've looked at Piedmont Fayette/Newnan, Grady, and Emory. But no where seems to be hiring any. I really want to get some critical care experience so I c...

I just start the nursing program at GCSU and I've been assigned to have my clinicals at MCCG. I just wanted to know what I should expect going there. How is it generally working at MCCG? I wasn't too excited because of the drive from Milledgeville an...

I have an interview for the ICU coming up at the Northeast Ga Med Center and was curious as to how the hospital is. I can't seem to find much on it so I wanted to get others opinions. Is a nice place to work? Are the nurses friendly? How is the pay c...

The north tower is nice. I didn't get a chance to tour the south tower. The floors seem to have some good technology. And it appears that the nurses were happy on the floors I saw.

That's too bad they finished interviewing for them this week.

Well that's good. I hope it's an enjoyable place to work. Especially if they offer me a job :-)

No one has heard anything or knows someone that knows someone who worked there?
