    If you get an acceptance letter from somewhere else you can call them and they will give you an answer before that time. I ended up choosing Wesleyan last year but when I told them I needed an answer they delayed a little but I did receive one before...
  2. Opinions on BIS Monitors?

    Ya'll are crackin' me up! We have used the BIS monitors for quite some time and the company has come and had several educational programs for us. However, for most patients, the BIS monitor simply does not work, IMO. Some patients are extremely accur...

  4. Pregnant

  6. ER not considered Critical Care?

    I too am in awe of ER nurses for putting up with the BS while waiting for the good thing to roll through. I work a Trauma Intensive Care Unit in a Level I hospital and we crack chests, open bellies, and all the juicy stuff more often than I can coun...
  7. organization and life in school

    I am right with you. If you want, we can alternate apts! I am not sure where you are living but mine is on Bryant Irvin. Anyway, I have the whole drive situation too, so I bought a digital voice recorder to make CDs, and I plan on taking my treadmill...

  10. TCU vs. TWU can anyone tell me differences and similarities? PLEASE?

    TWU: -Larger class size -slightly cheaper TCU: -smaller class size -more expensive That's really all it boils down to. But you can pm me if you want. I was accepted to both and chose TWU because it was a better fit for me. Good Luck!

  14. Why the high pay in Texas?

    5 of the top ten fattest cities in the US were in Texas. Houston ranking number 1 I believe. So if being a CRNA does not work out for ya....there's a big need for personal trainers!!!! :rotfl:
  15. Why the high pay in Texas?

    Texas is not all dry & brown though. East Texas is fairly "hilly" with lots of beautiful green trees and lush landscapes. Not to mention, it houses the rose capital of the world!
  16. What can I do . . .

    I am one of those over-achievers that did anything and everything to make myself stand out from the crowd. I have a BSN, made good grades, retook classes that needed to be current, became an ACLS instructor and then an ACLS Director, TNCC Instructor,...

  19. Question for SRNAs about laptops

    I have a Toshiba satellite and the keyboard is nice and quiet. Less noise than pages turning in a spiral lol. But really, I start my program in the fall, and even though I am a good typist, I don't think I will be able to type fast enough to take not...

    Congrats! We will be classmates in the Fall. The online class won't be available for several weeks I hear. I am already taking an online refresher chem class because I did not know about the other, but oh well. See ya in the Fall!
  22. old pre-req grades for CRNA program

    Definitely check the programs. Some programs just require you to have chemistry within 3-5 years of starting their program. That means you can audit the class or take a class without a lab. But check with the programs you are interested in first. I m...
  23. Wesleyan Bound, Anyone?

    I too will be your classmate Xigris. I am nervous with anticipation. The whole moving thing and leaving my home behind is quite sad. But alas, it must be done! Look forward to meeting ya'll in person!
