  4. How do I find a CRNA to shadow?

    Call down to the OR or the anesthesia department at your hospital and tell them that you would like to shadow a
  5. 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. 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

    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...
  8. Path to CRNA

    I started applying to schools in June
  9. Rosalind Franklin

    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...
  10. Rosalind Franklin

    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...
  11. Rosalind Franklin

    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

  18. Rosalind Franklin

    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...
  19. Rosalind Franklin

    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...
  20. Rosalind Franklin

    I sent in my deposit today, anyone else
  21. 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...
  22. Rosalind Franklin

    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
  23. Aspiring Anesthetist
