  1. Things to study up on...

    I personally am quitting work June 26th & heading to the beach for a mth. I am going to relax, spend time with my family, & I may look over some drugs while lounging.-doubtful, but maybe!!! Our department head said if we got in the program th...
  2. Bay Medical Center-Gooding Institute of NA

    Just putting my two cents worth in: I actually met the director of the Gooding Institute when I was looking at applying to schools for this fall. He was very laid back, nice, direct guy. I liked the staff & students I met there as well. No, it is...
  3. Missing a week of Classes

    I am starting my program this August, and I would not even consider taking time off in the beginning. You applied to school & should know what it takes mentally, physically, financially, & time wise. To ask for time off to go on a honeymoon d...
  4. CRNA Interview soon

    Know what you have been exposed to well, and do not try to B.S. the interviewers. Just say you don't know. This was the best advice given to me before I interviewed. They are not looking for the person who gets the most answers right-they are lookin...
  5. BSN??since ADN grades with C in nursing?

    I agree that the competition is tough, but you need to find out what schools you want to apply to. Some schools don't factor in ADN or prereq. grades. Some only look at your BSN grades, some look at BSN grades plus science, math, & statistics gra...
  6. I Got In!!!!!!!!

    congrats!! I just moved to Kansas from Alabama so I can start the crna program here in August. It is an adjustment, but I know it will be worth it. I am glad I moved early so my husband and I can get adjusted to the area before I get started. Good Lu...
  7. Srnas &crnas--advice Please!!

    I begin school this August, and I would like to be reviewing anything that may help me out prior to school starting. Any advice on what to review or a specific book that may help me? I don't want to over-do it, as I know I will be in for quite the lo...
  8. Any encouragement?

    First of all, congrats and goodluck in nursing school. The key to being a well-rounded, competent nurse is to have the desire and commitment to life-time learning. The medical world continuously changes, and nurses must strive to learn all they can....
  9. More on just getting in....

    I am with the elope. Got to Vegas or somewhere and get married. If family or friends want to come they can. Plus, it will be a great get-away before school starts!! CONGRATS ON BOTH & GOODLUCK. Marriage is great if it is to the right person, and ...
  10. Srnas &crnas--advice Please!!

    sweetdreams-I look forward to meeting you this August!!!
  11. Srnas &crnas--advice Please!!

    Thanks everyone for the advice. I have selected to attend Newman, and I am very pleased with the feedback from current and former students. It seems to be the small, friendly, and supportive environment I am looking for in a school.
  12. Pacemakers

    I am an EP nurse too, but soon to be off to crna school!! EP is a different ball game, and it is amazing what you learn in the lab! You learn about the heart in a whole different light.
  13. Florida Schools

    I have a friend in Panama City & she loves the Gooding Institute. I have met the director myself, and I was impressed with him and the program. Close knit group from what I gather-with no special treatment for people that work there or have "conn...
  14. Pacemakers

    Hey I agree there are many misconceptions out there. Mainly because people don't realize the programing details of these devices. I see many patients with a fib, mostly 2per day. The patients with pacemakers implanted for afib are usually ppm dependa...
  15. Anesthesia school here I come

    Congrats Gooser!! I know it feels great to have that weight off your shoulders. Lots of luck to you!!!:biggringi
  16. Pacemakers

    Just want to clear something up: Pacemakers ARE inserted for A-fib all the time. Whether or not they ablate the A-V node or not is dependent upon the pts condition and if they are chronic A-fib. We try to first perform ablations to the pulmonary vein...
  17. Pacemakers

    Hi there. I work in a lab where we put in pacers, defib, and perform ablations. Basically, defib. need to be programmed off when a bovie is used-it can set off the defib due to false sensing by the defib.-Not fun!! Pacers are another story. The pacem...
  18. Newman U

    Thanks everyone. I am beyond excited!!! It almost does not seem real to me right now. I cannot wait to get started. I know it will be stressful but enjoyable at the same time. I am canceling 2 of my other interviews and attending one other, but I am ...

  20. Newman U

    I got in!!!!!!!!!!!!Yea!!!!!!!!!!!I am very excited. got the letter today. They did not call anyone this year-I guess. So, good luck to everyone, and if you don't have a letter yet it does not mean you did not get in!!:roll
  21. Newman U

    Are you interviewing anywhere else? Hang in there-you will get in to a program!!!!! I do not think I got in either, but I will keep trying!!:)
  22. Newman U

    Hey trauma tom!! Thanks for the cheering section!! I am interviewing at Gooding and MCG too. Maybe we will meet up at one!! The interview at Newman was my first, and I was very nervous. I thought I did o.k., but I walked out not having a clue as to h...
  23. interview @ gooding coming up

    Hi GC. I interview at Gooding in Feb. too. I know they rate you by gre, gpa-etc, plus interview points. The top 14 get in-no discussions it's all based on top 14 app\licants points in the end. Seems to be a very fair system. You interview with them o...
  24. Should I retake SCIENCES??

    Hi Melrey11. I am not in school yet-just starting interviews, but I have spoken with many current students. I suppose it depends on the program(s) you have selected. Everyone has told me that there is a "refresher" course in A&P and as for chemis...
  25. HELP: Sedation RNs

    I have three years of critical care experience and I am currently working in a special procedure area where I sedate the patients as well as other things. I have been picking up in the units as well. I know rns sedating is not exactly well liked, but...
