Dallas, in general, isn't very CRNA-friendly with the exception of Parkland. However, you'll work your butt off at PMH. Methodist can be brutal for new grads, not too sure about Baylor.

The lesser-known group in Austin....not currently hiring CRNAs though. http://www.aagonline.com/

I had the same problem with Wesleyan taking so long, but as soon as I found out I got in at TCU I ended that. Someone mentioned the staff that was the core of the TWU program for so long is now at TCU. The fact that TCU is a new program is a little...

Sounds like you're in a tough spot, but you can do it. Here's some advice, take it for what it's worth. Try to downsize as much as you can and be prepared to be extremely tight during school. You can take out huge amounts of $$$ for school, I took...

This is an interesting topic. You know I conducted a little informal poll in my unit, and I'm not sure of the reliability. It seems that females GENERALLY dislike sputum/suctioning/etc. more than males and that males GENERALLY dislike cleaning s..t...

ZERO extra where I work!!!!

The men generally have more soreness in their backs!

I currently live in Grand Prairie, but will move a little closer (to an apt.) this month. Getting excited.

I'm going to buy a Palm, but was looking for some info. I know in my interview they mentioned that the Annie Richardson Bass Building was now "wireless". Does this mean that Wi-Fi is supported. I'm thinking of the Tungsten C, which has Wi-Fi capab...

I actually called the computer help desk and they told me that the building is Wi-Fi compatible. You just have to register your MAC # from your device with TCU. There's a whole web page that explains in detail. Look under the Information Commons l...

I must admit the money is one of the primary reasons for me going the CRNA route. In fact, I said that in my interview. There are a LOT of people I know with the same rationale for becoming CRNAs. There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to ...

I work in Dallas at a large hospital. I'm PRN and get $30/hr. You don't get any benefits as PRN, I'm on my wife's insurance. If your husband is going back to school, not sure if this is an option for you. You could buy your own insurance. That's...

Just my 2 cents. You CAN make a lot of money being a nurse. I made $107K last year, but I did work quite a bit.....probably averaged somewhere around 52-54 hours/week. I'm PRN, and I work nights so my night diff. helps some. That said, I'm start...

See you soon Maggie and other TCU goers!!!!

Like myself, I know a few people he visit here will be in the TCU program this August. I just wanted to get into contact with some of my future classmates to discuss what awaits us. What's up?

TCU--Fort Worth.

Yes, the CRNA program. I live in Grand Prairie--right in the middle of Dallas and Fort Worth.

Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone. I was just conveying my personal viewpoint. I know that TWU has a very productive and renowned program that has been around for a while. I'm sure all programs are wonderful or wouldn't be accredited. Again, so...

I am very seriously considering signing a contract with the hospital in my hometown. It's a very small rural hospital with about 25 beds. There is 1 CRNA (who wants to retire), 0 anesthesiologists on staff. They want me to sign with them; I think ...

I agree 100% with you. TCU had a better feel overall for me. I really liked the director at TCU. Can't wait sto start!

If you're talking about Texas Wesleyan, they're supposed to be letting people know around April 20. I called because was accepted to TCU and needed to let them know, so wanted to check my status at TWU. They told me 4/20, I told them nevermind.

Actually, a "big need for personal trainers!!!!" indicates that people are using them. If Texas are so out of shape, then apparently the trainers aren't being used. THEREFORE, no "big need for personal trainers!!!!". SIMPLE LOGIC!!!!:rotfl:

Hulk, I just found out today that I got accepted!!! See you in the fall.

I'll see you guys in August, I just found out today!!!!!!!!:rotfl:
