Hi Sarahlannie and kwalrn! I also live in the Atlanta area and I've been attending some of the Diversity in Nurse Anesthesia Mentorship Program functions. I work at St Joseph's Hospital and Dekalb Medical Center. I attended the lucheon in March in NJ which was extremely beneficial and inspirational. I also was fortunate enough to attend one of Lena's Anesthesia Airway Workshops this past July in NJ also. Lena took us into the OR, we got to intubate a mannequin, we went over spinal anesthesia and watch some of her recent grads/SRNAs use it on a simulation mannequin, we went over the anesthesia machine in detail, we learned how to set up our OR each morning, and we went over the difficult airway cart. WE LEARNED SO MUCH THAT DAY AND I REALLY GOT TO GET TO KNOW SOME OTHER PEOPLE IN OUR POSITION that are hoping to get into anesthesia school someday. A lot of us that attended the airway workshop are all gonna meet up in Miami at the next luncheon. If you get a chance you should really try to attend one of her anesthesia airway workshops so you can really get some hands on and impress the admission comittees when you apply! I can't say enough about Lena, she is a remarkable woman and a God-send as far as I'm concerned. I am applying to like 8 - 10 schools including the 2 in GA. I am also in the process of applying to Univ of Miami so that my application will be complete when I talk to their representatives at the luncheon. (Hopefully they will remember my face when they see my app.!) You guys can hit me up anytime if you have any questions, HOPE TO MEET YOU IN MIAMI BABY! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
