Just finished my statistics course and waiting for August to roll around for school to start. Anyone else get in to LSU CRNA program 2010?

Ryan, If you do decide to apply to LSU make sure to turn your application in as soon as possible. I turned mine in in Nov. and was accepted in early Jan. before interviews were even suppose to begin. The interview is formal but still relaxed. Make...

yes, i found that info and am picking up my physical tomorrow and mailing it off. i'm a bit paranoid when it comes to dead lines for paperwork, registration....and so on. (moderator edit of name/initials) told me the same thing so, i guess we just ...

"La-a" was the name and it was pronounced la-dash-a. Yeah that's right. The "dash" is not silent.

I'll be starting with you. Taking a trip to France for two weeks then moving to New Orleans. See you in class!

I'm moving from Houston in the next couple of weeks to attend LSU in NO and I wanted to meet as many classmates as possible. There doesn't seem to be to many of us on this site. I've been searching for feed back on the program but have not had much...

Hello, I will be starting the CRNA program at LSU in New Orleans 2010! We get time off for Mardi Gras . Got to love it!

I've been accepted to the CRNA program at LSU and start this August, and I like you failed a class, Med Surg II. I applied to 9 schools, was granted 7 interviews, and only Wesleyan Univ. asked about the class I failed. They wait listed me but I was...

In Houston: we closed down our CV ICU on Sunday and Monday morning because of a low census. This is the first time this has happened in the three years I've been here. I must say, it was nice to be off for the International Fest.:)

I work in a CV ICU and I have never seen a Doc yell at a nurse or been yelled at. I've heard of Doc's yelling, but I've never seen it in the ICU. I have had incidents where a Doc got mouthy with me but I did not let them get away with it. I stood...

I agree with all previous post and would like to add that when your NM is writing a letter for you you can also give her a copy of your updated resume and copies of other recomendation letters from charge nurses, staff, instructors and so on. I did ...

Good luck to you and I would recommend trying to find a job in MICU or SICU at night. The pt ratio is 1:3 or 1:2 and the night shift allows you to acclimate to your new job. Once you find the right place, you will be happier.:)

Suit and tie is the way to go. You want to look professional and confident. And make sure to shave and get a hair cut, and polish your shoes.

The attractive students do have an advantage because they are nice to look at but conducting yourself in a positive, confident manner and remembering to smile goes a long way. Make sure to prepare before you go on your interview ( "knock em dead" bo...

I think you should go speak with the manager from the baby unit at the hospital that is 20 miles away and let them know that you are interested in working on their unit even if there isn't an opening yet and that you will be taking a position at the ...

I received my BSN through Jacksonville university online and highly recommend it. I also was missing some classes like statistics, chem, and nutrition and they still allowed me to start the program. Hope this helps.

When I was getting ready to inteview I checked out the book "knock em dead" and read over how to prepare for an interview and found that they had great recomendations including wardrobe tips.:)

I agree with the previous post. All BS programs for nursing are in Science, so they are all BSN and that is all you need to go to CRNA school.:)

I'm pretty sure you have to have a BSN to apply for all the CRNA programs. When I interviewed with LSU they noticed I had a BS in Theatre and Fine Arts and they thought it was interesting. I did get accepted.

I was accepted in Jan. into the LSU CRNA program for 2010.

I completely agree with the previous post and would like to add, that if something feels wrong in the pitt of your stomach, you should go with it. When I was a new nurse there were many times that I saw things I didn't "feel" were right and I spoke ...

When I was interviewing at LSU for the CRNA program we discussed the big push to make CRNA entry level a doctoral, but they said it wouldn't happen till 2025. In preperation for that change they now offer a Doctorate in Nursing Anesthesia. I also h...

I am about to start CRNA school and am not deterred by the prospect of pay cuts. I enjoyed working in the OR and felt that I had more to contribute to the care of patients in surgery. That's one of the main reasons I wanted to persue this career an...

I completely agree with the previous posts. Having your CCRN before you apply for CRNA school makes you more attractive to the schools and it also alowed me to become an RN III and receive a pay raise at my hospital. Totaly worth the study time and...

Had a patient call me in his room to change the channel on the TV. I showed him how to use the call bell to change the channel and then left. A few minutes later he called me in again to change the channel.
