    AnesthesiaBound replied to Trauma Tom's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I thought this thread was looking for me! Congrats on the interview and good luck. I was lucky enough to have gone through the early interview process and was accepted. I got the same impressions of...

  3. Why Shouldn't I Tell?

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

    As far as reference letters and telling people of your dreams, use your best judgement. If you are planning on going to school, don't tell the manager until you've sent in your application and it's...

  4. Why Shouldn't I Tell?

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

    In my experience, the majority of negative attitudes toward my decision for a career in anesthesia was found in the "older nurses". Most younger nurses were excited for me and showed no negative...

  5. Different types of interviews....

    AnesthesiaBound replied to mommyof2grls's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I did meet with the director of the school in Chattanooga months before I even turned in my application. I met him, with transcripts in hand, to learn about the program to see how I liked it and see...

  6. many rejection letters crying all day..

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

    I think London88 has the right idea. I've heard that talking with the school's decision makers can only help. Usually they will be honest about their reasons for denial and give suggestions. As a side...

    AnesthesiaBound replied to athomas91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    As a side note to all of the CRNA school hopefuls, this book is excellent reading to prepare for the interview. I bought it about 6 months ago and used it to study, along with "Critical Care...

  8. Different types of interviews....

    AnesthesiaBound replied to mommyof2grls's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Unfortunately, I've only had one interview for anesthesia school to contribute. I don't think it was too stressful beyond the stress I placed on myself. I was asked to tell the places I have worked,...

  9. Giving Insulin

    AnesthesiaBound replied to SANDRA1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I can't believe I read this entire thread and there was no answer at the end! Did you pass or not and what answer did you end up with?

  10. ccrn exam

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

    I took the CCRN in September. It was tough, but not like I thought. I studied Pass CCRN and did the practice tests. I made note cards off of the answers to the post-test and I had Gasparis' tapes....

  11. Rejection Letter

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

    I'm very sorry to hear about your rejection letter. I think it would be a very good idea to meet with the dean or whoever you feel is in a position of power to discuss what affected your acceptance....

  12. SRNA's and CRNA's I need your help!

    AnesthesiaBound replied to Trauma Tom's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Hey Tom, this is Gaspassah's friend. I hope the info I gave turns out to be helpful. In relation to the variety of clinical sites and the advantage/disadvantage of travel between sites, I would like...
