    Should new CRNA students work?!?

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to nurse_KK's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I worked a couple shifts here and there during my first 2 semesters. Right now, It's kinda impossible. So at first you maybe able to, but later in the program you may not want to, not only because...

    Does the 1-3yr CC experience have to be full time?

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to Ultraposh's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    it takes like 1800 hrs or something like that to sit for the exam. Which is essentially 1 year of full time ICU work. Honestly, with no ICU experience the answer is No, I'm pretty sure they do not...

    What Most Prepared You

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to WhiffOfGas's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to justin.d.duff's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A CVRU is what? Is that like a CTICU or CSICU ? If it is..I would def take that one. Most school will accept neuro, but i think the knowledge base you will gain from a CTICU/CSICU/CCU is considerable...

    Da_Milk_of_Amnesia replied to phetheR's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I mean, maybe someone, somewhere has gotten into CRNA school with a GPA less than a 3. But I honestly doubt it, unless someone else here who says they have. Remember, you're competing with what is...
