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

    Well, just looking at options now as I'm a bit older since I've been a chiropractor first. It looks like my local hospital is hiring in ER and CCU... however, if we move a few hours away, i can get...

  7. Does a hospital new grad fellowship/residency ICU program count?

    quick question, with fees isnt RSNA more like $42K for the whole program? And not the $20K the original poster was quoting? Thanks,

  13. How is total GPA calculated for CRNA schools?

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

    Thats a bit of an issue. It will be hard for her to get a job right out of school here, and tougher to get right into ICU as a new grad. The hospital is a level II trauma center not level 1 and i...

  18. TEAS, HESI, NET nursing entrance exams

    pamchris replied to movingforward3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I only had to take those 4 sections (not the A/P). There were some very basic A/P questions mixed in throughout bio but if you have to take that separate test you'll pry need to study a little...

  19. TEAS, HESI, NET nursing entrance exams

    pamchris replied to movingforward3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    oh okay.. thanks. The school's minimum requirement is 75%. I just took it yesterday so I thought I'd give some insight into the test while it's still fresh. I was mostly worried about the chem and...

    pamchris replied to movingforward3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I cant seem to find information anywhere on how the HESI A2 entrance exam score is calculated. For example, if you get a 96%, does that mean you got 48 of the 50 questions right? Or is it a...

  24. Chiropractor to CRNA advice

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

    Thanks for all your input. As for why I am not completely happy with chiropractic - it really has nothing to do with patient care. I actually very much enjoy that part of it, and if that was all I...
