  4. How do I find a CRNA to shadow?

    MNrun replied to Want2BeCRNA1123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Call down to the OR or the anesthesia department at your hospital and tell them that you would like to shadow a

  5. im discouraged and need some advise please!!

    MNrun replied to jdonevan178's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You have 6 years before then in which you can make it through a program. Also, I don't think the DNP is going to occur in all NA programs until

  6. I need some CRNA school advice

    MNrun replied to KateBSNRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Get your GPA up or you are not going to be competitive whatsoever. Many schools will not consider you if you can't meet the minimums, such as GPA, GRE,

  7. Path to CRNA

    MNrun replied to new2this101's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is not the norm though, there is always the exception. Programs are taking a big risk by accepting a nurse with almost no experience off orientation. You can go and apply, and may get an...

    I'm sure there will be. I have a feeling that commute is going to get really long! I talked with someone that is in the program now that commuted from there and she said it got really long when she...

    I received the form to send with the deposit. I haven't received anything related to class or books. Maybe all that will be coming once the spots are filled. Financial aid information is right on the...

    Congratulations! The deposit is $500. Is RFU your first choice or are you waiting on some other schools? I think it will be a great experience. I recently talked with a student in the program and she...

  12. Path to CRNA

    MNrun replied to new2this101's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You could apply for 2011, but you will most likely not be competitive and most managers are not going to write you a solid LOR at that point. If you start in the ICU in September of 2010, you would...

  13. should i invest in a new steth?

    MNrun replied to erin01's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I bought a Master cardiology and I really like it....neccessary? Not

  14. Resources for new CVICU nurses...

    MNrun replied to aCRNAhopeful's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I admire the OP motivation. Bojar is a great resource. I started in the CVSICU right out of school and wanted to learn more than I was being taught and read all I could get my hands on. Take the CCRN....

  15. Please look at my stats & concerns.

    MNrun replied to cak1219's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just be willing to relocate and apply to a few schools and you should get in on the first time around from the looks of your resume...if you can interview

  17. University of Cincinnati Interview

    I just received an invitation to interview via email today, so I would think you all would be hearing

  18. Rosalind Franklin

    MNrun replied to MNrun's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That makes sense. Yeah, we don't have any kids, but I imagine that makes it that much more difficult to be away. I have doubts about Mayo's program. I really didn't want to stay in Rochester as the...

    MNrun replied to MNrun's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congrats...yeah, the distance might not be fun, but I think it may enable us to get some more unique experiences in smaller community hospitals that are more autonomous to CRNAs. I'm at Mayo, where...

  21. I need some words of advice/encouragement

    MNrun replied to CCURN87's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why would they send you to the floor over a few mistakes? (as long as they are not major ones such as patient deaths). I would talk to your manager to get the real scoop and relay your concerns. Let...

    Great! How were the clinical sites? Did you get some good experiences at CRNA only sites? I had a good vibe after the interview and am looking forward to getting

    MNrun replied to ellimacja's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Go and get your RN and BSN...you won't be able to do much in critical care until then. You will need them to apply to CRNA school
