   clintcron replied to nursemastermike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   @sniffy, thank the good Lord that you didn't have to take the gre. It is without doubt the greatest scam ever, and it is by no means an accurate predictor one's intelligence. It is merely a formality....

   If it is any consolation, I know of a guy that is in with these stats: GPA-3.07, gre- 780, 2.5 yrs of icu, online BSN. The interview is the key. He is fortunate have gotten the interview; however, he...

   I couldn't agree more with real nurse. Icu skills? Hmmmmm. When someone is crashing do you give fluids or hang a pressor because that is what you were taught, or have taken the time to learn why your...

8. Still Safe?

   clintcron replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   True, but they will fail you at least twice on the clinical eval. You should figure an additional 6000 for this. I know this for a fact. I'm just letting you know. Secondly, a close friend of mine had...

9. Still Safe?

   clintcron replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   For what its worth, I do not believe the market will be saturated. A lot of new grads yes, but the profession itself has a very nice shortage still yet. You also have to remember the competitiveness...

    clintcron replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Let me set the record straight for you. Very few programs will allow an outside bachelors degree and those that do, generally require it in a science related field. I.e. chemistry, biology,...

13. Good CRNA applicant?

    clintcron replied to statABG's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but everyone is way too concerned with the prelims. Your stats are good enough to get you into an interview with 90% of the schools available with only a one year...
