   kuhRN replied to OscarRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   My advice, having recently moved cross country. Price how much it will cost you to move and then value your stuff and decide how much it will cost you to replace it. We were lucky because my husbands...

2. Front-loaded vs. Integrated--PROS and CONS

   kuhRN replied to OscarRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I am in a front loaded program. When I was looking at schools I really felt this was the better option. I liked the idea of having most of the "textbook stuff" out of the way. Honestly, now, I wish...

3. Loma Linda Interview - Starting Fall 2012

   kuhRN replied to bmobSRNA2015's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   There really is no way to prepare for the HRT, I think if you google it you may be able to find a practice test just to get an idea about it. The interviews are conducted in front of a very large...

   kuhRN replied to Papoya's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Don't forget about getting your CCRN. Also, take a graduate level stats course, admission committees like that. And get involved with a research project if you

5. Curious about CRNA programs

   kuhRN replied to Devilee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   As you already know ICU experience is a must, at least a year and a lot of programs require 2. Get CCRN certified before you apply to schools. The advice I give everyone who ask me about going to CRNA...

6. Is ADN worth the wait?

   kuhRN replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I think that depends very heavily upon where you live. When I graduated from nursing school most people had ADN degrees, that was the norm in the area, so no one had difficulty getting a job. Now, I...

7. A Blessing and Maybe A Curse

   kuhRN replied to BxRN0808's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I am in a similar situation. I decided to get a PRN job so I only work one day a week. This way, I keep up with my skills, I get to get out of the house a bit, and we have a little extra money to do...

10. Will a mandate requring RN's to obtain BSN's contribute to a shortage?

    kuhRN replied to Sarah96's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sarah, I did the ADN with the RN-BSN completion. My school had both programs so I did the ADN and my last semester I took BSN courses as my electives. I didn't miss a single semester I went straight...

    kuhRN replied to mttzakr87's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am going to share my two cents on this subject. I think that it is very important for nurses to have BSN degrees. We are a group of professionals and I think that in order to be seen and respected...

14. Competitive GPA for CRNA Programs

    kuhRN replied to chillax63's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would say at least a 3.5 GPA to be "competitive". However, your GPA most certainly isn't the only thing admission committees look at. If you don't already have it get your CCRN. Take the GRE and if...

    kuhRN replied to mpink74's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is very difficult. I remember questioning my choice to become a nurse several times while in school. When the going got really tough I just reminded myself why I wanted to be a nurse in...
