  1. private loans without co-signers

    rockabye06 replied to ltac's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Bank One does not require a co-signer nor do they require school certification. However, the catch with them is: you pay a 9% origination fee. That's pretty hefty. But in the long run, it's worth...

  2. Acceptance 2+ yrs in advance

    rockabye06 replied to Kiwi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was accepted two years in advance and it has definitely helped me a great deal. At Rush, I was able to take about 10 classes before the program started. As a result, I am able to work longer and...

  3. loans without origination fees?

    rockabye06 replied to tcrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    uh.. not so fast on the Bank One loan. I compared their private education loan (Education One loan) with Citibank's equivalent. For someone with excellent credit, there IS no comparison. First of...

  4. Here's what AAs really think of CRNAs

    rockabye06 replied to Athlein1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have actually spoken to my friend about this issue, comparing AA school to CRNA school. He felt his CRNA program was a more comprehensive program and more difficult to get through. Obviously, he...

    rockabye06 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just wanted to drop a line to any one that cares. I got my letter of acceptance to Rush University College of Nursing's CRNA program on Friday. I was ecstatic. I will start in the Summer of 2004. I...

  6. I'm in!!

    rockabye06 replied to rockabye06's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I really don't know too much about Rush's post masters program in anesthesia. However, I tend to think that it is designed for those practicing nurse anesthetists prepared at the bachelor's level...

  8. Chicago anyone?

    rockabye06 replied to NCgirl's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Dear NC Girl, Just curious, but why do you want to come to Chicago? I just got accepted to Rush Univ.'s Anesthesia program and I have to be here for another 2 1/2 yrs. I wish it were yesterday....

  9. Rush University

    rockabye06 replied to srna04's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think you have a good chance, especially if you can take a few of the online hard science courses like Pathophysiology I or II, Physiology I or II. If you take a few of these and ace them, I think...

  10. New VA CRNA program

    rockabye06 replied to vaRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Be careful as well with the Army Strap program. If your program is longer than 24 months (and most are), they get you for THREE years for each year of school. That's right!! For example, with a 27...

  14. Financial assistance during school

    rockabye06 posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Does anyone out there know if the Navy has a similar program to the Army's STRAP program? From a recent post, I understand that in the Army's STRAP program, you get around $1200-1500/month stipend...

    rockabye06 replied to rockabye06's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Thanks Flying ED, Thanks for trying to help. It seems that not a lot of info is out there regarding this issue. I just want to get another source first before asking my recruiter as sometimes their...

  19. Honest Opinion

    rockabye06 replied to CRNAHopeful's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    In my honest and humble opinion, it sounds like you have GREAT experience, just the kind that nurse anesthesia programs are looking for. However, I think your academic scores are weak. A 3.0 GPA and...

  20. What makes an applicant stand out??

    rockabye06 replied to tcrn's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I don't think that this is too aggressive at all. If you can gauge from the tone and direction of the interview that it seems interactive and two-way, then by all means, ask the question!! It just...
