Last night at work , I heard a gentleman talk about a new CRNA school opening in Asheville, NC. HE dropped the patient off so quick...I didn't have time to inquire. Does anyone know about this?

I agree with Somei, I have been a nurse for 10 years with expereince ranging from Med-surg to critical care, and still find many things difficult in clincals. My class expereince ranges from 2 yr- 25 yrs. ( the average is about 4-7 yrs). I agree,...

Be sure to inform them about the inportance of maintaining good grades, especially science, while still young. So often, teenagers are not as focused that early and allow their grades to sink in the water; then 10 yrs later when applying to CRNA scho...

Hello I was not that great in Chemistry in HS or undergrad, however I took the opportunity to tackle my weakness when I decided to attend CRNA school. Before applying to school, I took a Biochem and organic chem class ALONE...with no other classes so...

INFIDEL...that is true however, you will not be consisitently cleaning poop...in fact it is quite rare. In contrast, an ICU nurse can almost be certain when he/she go to work they will be cleaning poop. I have yet to see a CRNA cleaning poop at my c...

Hello candygirl I am an AA SRNA in the Philly area and I have not had any problems thus far. There are about four minorities in my class of 21.....and I dont think the have any issues either. Our class is pretty cordial...I would not say close...but...

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!! WOW....he can't be serious:nono:

I dont understand why you think you will have issues becoming a CRNA if you didnt enjoy any aspects of ICU. I personally hated working the ICU...I didn't find anything appealing about it what so ever. THE poop, the annoying families at time, all th...

Good advice from the previous posters. I always arrive on time. I dont hang around between cases..Im always looking to help other CRNAs...maybe place their IV's, as if I can do their inductions, or turn theri room over for them. Regardless how your d...

I have the same issues with charting. seems I am always messing up the CRNA nice neat chart. So what i did was take an entire anestheisa packet home and studied thoroughly. It made me more comfortable as to what goes where, ect. Now after a month int...

Hi My day s a SRNA starts like this. Sunday night I go to the hospital and make a copy of the OR schedule. Go home research the cases and prepare a care plan. A care plan is basically what it sounds like....Choosing the anesthestic plan for your pat...

I just started my program and the oldest person in my class is 48. I just turned 37 last month...who cares...its just a number. People have kids and buy houses at any age nowadays. Besides 32 is young! and dont focus on what others are doing..... If ...

I started my program jan 3...first test this friday than one the following friday. The amount of information required is unreal......I mean I know people told me a head of time how it will be but literally...all i do is study. All day long with break...

Tonight is actually my last night working in the ICU. I have decided to take two weeks off before school. It is really bitter-sweet. I have mixed feelings right now. One side I am extremley excited to start this journey that I have been waiting for s...

Going to Drexel in Philly!

I will be starting Drexel in a few weeks. we actually start jan 3 and I am so excited. RNNJ couldn't have been more correct...you do not want to be bothered with the tedious classes. They require a lot of annoying time doing papers and researching i...

WOW I remember you were applying...boy how times fly. I am sure you did fine and soon you will be sending an update about where you will be working and how well you did on the boards. I am looking forward to getting there one day. Start school in 2....

I agree that SICU offers more variety than any other ICU. In fact, when I had one interview they ask two questions relating to surgery. ( Thank God for my SICU experience) You would never ever see trauma, open bellies, camino bolts with ICP monitorin...

Im 36. Start in Jan 08. When I am completed, I will be 38 or 39. I still want kids. Remember 40 is the new 30 these days. Who cares how old you are, follow your dreams. If you want it - do it. Period. Dont focus on anything else. Hell, I remember whe...

I know what you mean Ready. I am attending Drexel University CRNA program in Philly. Doing some core courses now but will actually start anesthesia in Jan. I will send you a PM.

Go to Univ of Md. A More recoginzed four year school. That's a no brainer.

Don't forget the rats and junkies you see in the city. yes, Fells Point is great for the younger crowd interested in bars and partying but if you have children , it's not feasible. the taxes are extremly high. You have to pay so much for a small tig...
