CRNAMASTER

I am going to TCU this fall. :chuckle

Boy can I relate, leaving my job of 17 years and scared to death. Everyone comes up to me also and says are you excited? I respond most of the time scared sh** less. I also have just bought books sold my yukon, bought furniture for my apartment, a...

Hey, I am 49 energetic and will be going to TCU this fall. I spoke with a CRNA once because I was worried about it also and she said the average age in CA was 45 when she attended. If you have the desire to go I would say go for it. I was also c...

ya know you would be surprised at how many MD's with good hearing have let a murmer get past them and lo and behold the chick with the hearing problem finds it in the recovery room, if i couldn't hear the lung sounds on my pt I wouldn't be in patient...

i have seen many a crna with a hearing aid and it does not make them any less of a nurse. any one who would have a problem with it has not seen it and as long as you can hear well enough to do your job don't worry about it. i worked in icu and pacu...

3.58 GPA 4.0 all science classes 17 years of ICU/PACU experience, unwavering desire to succeed, CCRN, CPAN, PALS, ACLS, ECPN I took the miller instead of the GRE this time 54 on the miller should have taken more than once but still got in. I think ...

there are 67 slots at this time which could change due to clinical sites ect. gc

Hey glad to know someone is already down there. My hubby and I are coming to Fortworth on springbreak to look at apartments. cya in the fall. My site is El Paso

I was 44 when I started working on my BSN after working as an ICU nurse then a PACU nurse. I have been accepted as a TCU student for this fall prior to that I was a KU alternate so it is never to late as far as I am concerned. I am now 48 will be 4...

If you really want to get in let them know at the interview that you would be willing to go to EL PASO, I had only chosen Tulsa not knowing that site was now disbanded so they sent me a regection letter. I then sent them an email stating i would go...

Well I just got accepted to go to the El PASO site, good luck to you all. GC

Well after many tears of joy my family and I will be moving to EL PASO with the TCU program. Thanks so much for this forum it is so helpful. You are never to old to fulfill your dream. I am almost 49 and cannot wait to get started. GC

I am looking for an IV drip calculation program that I could install on my Dell pocket pc. I have the Davis Drug program but it tends to hang up occasionally. If you guys have any ideas they would be appreciated. (Drips like Amio, ect just want an ea...

Thanks for all the help!!!!:)

Hey everyone hope you guys had great holidays. I have a question for the TCU interviewees. How many of you guys have received your acceptance letter and how many have had good/bad interviews? They told me I would not find out until Feb 28th and e...

Hey thanks for the info, oh its not that big of a deal I just am VERY impatient. I am trying to get in the Tulsa clinical site due to my family situation. They told me this year that the only reason I did not get in last year was because I had only ...

Traumnurse, I appreciate your point of view. I am sure there are rude people on both sides of the fence. I can say I wish it would get better but there are always going to be people who are resentful and jealous. Thanks for your response

Ok guys, how is this for a scenerio. CRNA and circulator bring pt into PACU. Both start talking at the same time (all the while you are trying to hook up your pt) I don't care if he is stable awake or having a larngospasm as a courtesy you should ...

My interview went very well and I think I have a really good chance at getting in. My question is I don't have organice chem or any physics background, do I really need a class in either or will I get what I need in the program.

so you are in the tulsa clinical. tell me all you know. when you got in did they do the same thing to you as they did texasccrn and I about just hinting around you were in but not rellly this is driving me insane to have to wait 3 months. Read abov...

Tulsa, you know they said the only reason I did not get in last year at the beginning of my interview was that i had only selected Tulsa and they gave every indication that I was already accepted but did not come right out and say that. They even t...

Thanks

Ok, I need lots of adivce. First, has anyone else had an interview at TCU in the last couple of weeks? Second, Where can I find all the news about politics between docs and Crna's I know they will ask that question and third any and all advice is...

That was what they asked last time.

Hello everyone, I have the TCU interview coming up in a couple of months and was wondering how to keep from being so terribly nervous. I have the knowledge, experience, and the desire it is the interview process I keep screwing up on. I went to an ...
