   SCVICURN replied to wannapassgas's topic in SRNA

   Expensive!! $50,000 a year. All the info on cost is on their website.

3. I'm in at case western 2010!!! Anyone else??

   SCVICURN replied to SCVICURN's topic in SRNA

   It takes up to 4 weeks to hear if you are going to get an interview or not. You first have to meet the requirements of getting into Case to pursue grad study there, and then your application is off to the anesthesia department. Hang in there! :)

   This time is super anxiety producing! The waiting for the call is really tough.. then waiting to get a letter is so much worse, but it is all worth it! I would love to welcome you both next year!! Hang in there and take a deep breath!

   Hi. Good luck with your application process! I have been a nurse since 03. I have worked only critical care in SICU, MICU, SCVICU, NICU. I worked at CCF for 4 years in ther open heart ICU, and did some agency travel as well. I took the MAT not the GR...

   SCVICURN replied to SCVICURN's topic in SRNA

   That is true and I feel a bit worried about getting enough aid to survive the entire program. The money at CCF is not appealing enough to put up with the BS and torture they put the students thru for a few extra bucks. The current students I have spo...

   I have been having the same issue. Looks like loans is what I will be needing to find. Wells Fargo still does private loans but the interest rate is really high. I have been told the school does a good job in the fin. aid dept to make sure we get wha...

   CONGRATS!!! I know that wait is awful!! Have you thought about where you will do your clinicals?

   I met with **** and ****** when I shadowed at CCF. ****was at the interview but **** was not. There were 6 or 7 there from Case and they put you at ease pretty quickly. I was able to joke with them and that really helped to relax me. Go early if you ...

    SCVICURN replied to SCVICURN's topic in SRNA

    I dont think that any of the nurses I work with think that the residents are used as a crutch. We are taught to use critical thinking skills and we work together with the residents and interns. I think any nurse would benefit from a large hospital th...

    I agree with you and I am 34... so we can be the old ones together!! I look forward to meeting you in Aug.

    SCVICURN replied to SCVICURN's topic in SRNA

    First of all it sound as if you don't like Case very much so I am wondering why you would even apply there if you feel they are so awful? Second, your facts are a bit off. I know numerous students that are well over 30 that are in school now and that...

    Lyela, Hey!! So since I can't PM you I will just answer you here. The deal with CCF clinicals is that you will get $1000 a month plus health insurance and PTO time. After you are done with school, they will offer you a job and you will make their sta...

    Did you get in elsewhere? All CRNA programs require some kind of stats within a specific amount of time, and they all have theory. Yuck! When do you have to send in your letter of accepting their admission?

    SCVICURN replied to SCVICURN's topic in SRNA

    I have many friends that did the CCF clinicals and it isn't true about the pay. You owe them 30 months of service after school and will get paid the starting salary not a reduced rate. The school will send out a wish list when they start to assign c...
