  1. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) 2019 DNAP

    Shanimal replied to Robin185's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Unless a lot has changed in the last year, the interview questions are way more personal than clinical in focus. To be honest, I don't think posting the specific questions I was asked would be...

  2. Many interviews for school but continue to get rejected..is it age??? Please help!

    Shanimal replied to CCUnurse18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not entirely sure what you're asking, or why you assume it's your age that's keeping you from getting more acceptance letters. Admissions committees see your CV and transcripts when you apply, so...

  3. Villanova university Crna program interview

    Shanimal replied to doja's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    From the homepage, click on "Students" located at the top of the page, then scroll down to "Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist." That's the SRNA

  4. Question about letter of recommendation for CRNA program

  5. Extracurricular Reading to Prepare for CRNA

    Shanimal replied to jimmygionti's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ah, OK. I had the same amount of ER and ICU experience prior to applying. While I stand by my comment about anesthesia texts having limited value until you start school and are in an environment to...

  6. Extracurricular Reading to Prepare for CRNA

    Shanimal replied to jimmygionti's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    While I admire your gumption and it may not be the response you're looking for, as a current SRNA I've gotta say your time is probably best spent focusing on other stuff right now. If you're not...

  7. Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) 2019 DNAP

    Shanimal replied to Robin185's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm a first-year student in the etpDNAP program. The exact number of applicants who apply and the number selected to interview each year aren't public knowledge. That said, I heard from somewhere...

  8. CRNA Grad Paper help

    Shanimal replied to Gnpink's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi there. Most people in this particular forum are current or prospective nurse anesthesia students. You might have better odds getting in contact with a practicing CRNA in the CRNA specialty forum....

  9. GPA when applying for school

    Shanimal replied to cwilliams032's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've honestly never heard of a "W" being factored into a GPA. What point value is it worth in GPA calculations? You'll have to find that out from the school you took the course at if that's the...

  10. How old is too old?

    Shanimal replied to Tangielee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Too old? Technically, no, but don't overlook the fact that your age will have an impact on your financial future if you pursue this route--you'll be closer to retirement age than those who got...

  11. Is the flu slowing down where you are?

    Shanimal replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    Not slowing down here in southeast Virginia. Have had a handful of otherwise healthy patients in their 20s end up on ECMO because of

  12. Emory CRNA 2018

    Shanimal replied to WndrlstRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm curious. I realize it has a good reputation as a university, but Emory already had an anesthesiology residency AND anesthesiologist assistant program before launching the nurse anesthesia...

  13. Do CRNA Boards Care About Honors Societies?

    Shanimal replied to RachelP_CRNA2B's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This.

  14. ODU CRNA 2018

    Shanimal replied to MakeEmSayZzzzNaNahNaNah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm in a different program, but I know a nurse from the CSICU at Norfolk General and another in the ICU at VA Beach General who'll be joining you. Not sure if they're on this site though. Congrats...

  15. HELP! Online Graduate courses prior to starting CNRA school

    Shanimal replied to ekatz's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey there! I'm happy to offer whatever assistance I can but am hesitant to openly post my email address on this site. Members here can send private messages after making 15 posts and it looks like...

  16. HELP! Online Graduate courses prior to starting CNRA school

    Shanimal replied to ekatz's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not aware of any place that you can take those courses online as a non-degree student, but wanted to add a word of caution that many graduate programs will only accept transfer credits if they...

  17. Phlebotomy in the ER

    Shanimal replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I think I might get spoiled too if we had a dedicated ER phlebotomist. In the ERs I've worked at the RNs and ER techs do all of the IVs and blood

  18. Penn DNP-NA 2018

    Shanimal replied to wjsb's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No, that would require an NP

  20. New grad ADN Salary

    Shanimal replied to Beautiful_Beginnings's topic in Virginia Nursing

    The RN new grad salary in Hampton Roads area hospitals was around $20-21/hr five years ago. Not sure what it is now, but I suspect it's not much

  21. new nurse in nova

    Shanimal replied to kyhoward1989's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm from NOVA too and although I moved away about 5 years ago, I still visit often. Traffic is even more insane than it was then, so I'm not sure going into the city, to the mountains, or really...

  22. SANE on call pay

    Shanimal replied to Sabadudu's topic in Emergency

    All the SANE nurses are also ED nurses where I work, so the base pay was the same. They take 24-hour call and earn a whopping $1/hour, but if called in for a case they get time and a half pay....

  23. Please help me - dread going to work

    Shanimal replied to Newnurse8123's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ultimately only you can decide if this job is a good fit or not. Just know that all the anxiety, dread, and depression you're describing is unfortunately pretty common among new grad RNs, especially...

  24. CRNA

    Shanimal replied to newbie20's topic in Nursing Career

    There are several nurse anesthesia programs in New York, but the only one in NYC is through Columbia University. It's best to check out the website of each program you're considering for specific...

  25. Do I even have a chance?

    Shanimal replied to vet2bsn's topic in School, College Programs

    As they say, unless you try the answer is always no. I suggest you contact the school and ask what the average stats are for accepted students and what you can do to be a more competitive
