  1. volunteering

    I volunteered over 400 hours in an ER and a PACU prior to starting nursing school. Although I was interested in anesthesia, the exposure to the nurses was far more valuable. In my opinion, you...
  2. Clinical Topics

    I agree there's not enough clinical dialogue in this forum. However, it's hard to deter the wannabe's. People who are interested in anesthesia (count me in) are going to pursue whatever information...

  9. Need scholarships

    I'm starting the same program in June at Hopkins and I'm a little nervous about the costs too... And like you, I've run into a lot of dead-ends when searching for scholarships, especially for...
  10. Unfortunately, there isn't 1 single characteristic to focus on. To be competitive (which it is here in the Seattle area), you need to have everything and you need to be strong in everything. You...
