  1. Franciscan skemp

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Ijlindsey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I used to work at the U of U, the other trauma I (NCCU). You know the U is better right? J/K when it comes to hearts, IMC is the king. I just moved from Utah in June. We will just miss each other....

  3. Franciscan skemp

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Ijlindsey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's just the 3 of us. We are all in! :) Seriously though, I forgot to ask how many they are interviewing this year. Did you

  4. D5 water and Cerebral Edema

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to hodgieRN's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    Both of the trauma I Neuro ICU's I have worked at do not use D5W. We use H2O in the gut. Different facilities have different protocols, but the ones I have worked at view dextrose fluids in a negative...

  5. Critical care experience

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to bcrawley's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    University of Utah. Also never mention CRNA school in the interview. No one will hire

  6. CCRN Practice Tests

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I am a neuro ICU nurse. I passed the CCRN first try after 1 year. I just studied from the Kaplan CCRN review book. I did get to do an intership though that taught me about all of the ICU's in our...

  7. Critical care experience

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to bcrawley's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with what Fumanchueday said. Also, look for ICU residency programs. I was hired into a 5 month ICU internship at a trauma I with an associated degree, and no CNA experience. I believe there is...

  8. This is a discussion on Working in the GI Lab, Hoping to Become CRNA in the Future

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to zhapatoot's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Like the post above me said..... you need ICU. OR, cath lab, PACU, GI lab will pay the bills, but will not get you into CRNA

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am interviewing on Friday at

  10. Westminster College in Salt Lake

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got a call from them today but I was sleeping after working a graveyard. I will call them and schedule in the AM when I get off work. Good luck to

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Ijlindsey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I will be honest, I do not remember. You are not at interviews with the other applicants. It is a time slot just for you, so you do not see the other

  12. Okay, SRNA's, enlighten me.

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to crichards00's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am not a SRNA yet, but I wanted to throw in my 2 cents. If you decide CRNA may be too intense (meaning you have to give up too much family life to make it worth while) have you considered NP? It is...

  13. Why do some nurse judge?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to relondnah SNKC's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with you. I have been a nurse for 3 years, and I still feel the way you do. I had a situation where a nice nurse was not thinking while we were cleaning a BM on one of my pt's. He was talking...

  14. The humbling rejection letter.... what to do about it.

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to ahSICURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Did the letter indicate where your weaknesses were? If not, I would attempt to contact them and ask in a constructive way what you could improve on for next year. that shows you took it well and want...

  15. Westminster College in Salt Lake

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to CPhT2RNstudent's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It sounds like she is in her BSN right now, so she should be done in less than 2 years. I don't think it is too early to be looking around. Back on topic, has anyone scheduled an interview with...

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Ijlindsey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good luck nurse Sandy. Where are you coming

  17. Taking a man beating in the OR

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Glorifiedwaiter's topic in Operating Room

    Time for a new job. If the jobs all around you are really worse (I doubt it) then it is time to move. If you get canned because people are lying about you It will be difficult to explain to a...

  18. Franciscan skemp

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Ijlindsey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I interviewed last year. The interview went great. I had not finished my BSN yet (I would have been done before the class started, but it would have been close) so I did not get in. I am done now...

  19. Franciscan skemp

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Ijlindsey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It is a pretty small program. About 10 students accepted per year, thus not very many graduates around. It seems like a great school! It is a comfortable interview (they do not try to intimidate you)...

  20. Pay Grade: Having an AS vs. a BS

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to MsAlba's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do the assoc. degree, then finish the BSN online. Where I used to live there was no difference between ASSOC. RN and BSN. So I moved and I get $5/hr for having my BSN + CCRN. That is in addition to...

  21. CCRN needed for SRNA?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to ShoogleBear's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would take it. Everyone wants to stand out. You could be edged out for someone with similar qualifications +CCRN. It could be the difference between getting in and having to wait another year. The...

  22. Are student loans haunting you?

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    If you can get a Perkins, take it! You can have them forgiven for working as a nurse over a 5 year period. No payments will be due during that time. Also, look into IBR (do a search for ibrinfo to...

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to Ijlindsey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I currently reside in Albuquerque. What day will you be interviewing

  25. CRNA vs. Perfusionist

    CPhT2RNstudent replied to rexy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I found this site on google. It lists schools, costs, etc. I did find the tuition listed to be inacurate. Perfusion Training
