  1. Going to CRNA school and surviving financially?

    MeTheRN replied to NYRN315's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, just re-do your FAFSA and fill out the requests for the exact same loans. There are rules regarding your financial aid eligibility though. For example, my school requires mandatory attendance and...

  2. Can I get into CRNA school?

    MeTheRN replied to NYRN315's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Some schools will accept you with a GPA lower than 3.0, but they'll admit you already on academic probation. You'll have to work very hard to get through CRNA school though already starting out with...

  3. Hospitals offering tuition for CRNA School

    MeTheRN replied to thyme39's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I decided against taking a stipend because I want to freedom to pursue any employment opportunities after I graduate. Others are fine with the "job security" provided with a stipend contract, but...

  4. Going to CRNA school and surviving financially?

    MeTheRN replied to NYRN315's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Although I agree with everyone's advice to reduce your debt, I would urge you not to prolong going to CRNA school if you can. You'll make much more money as a CRNA and can pay off your debt faster...

  5. Is CRNA school as difficult as people said?

    MeTheRN replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nursing school was a joke compared to CRNA school. I too studied little and graduated valedictorian of my nursing class. CRNA school will not be like that. In nursing school, you could sort of figure...

    I got in!!!! Wolford College Fall 2011 BABY! Very thankful for all the support/advice from these forums! The interview was a breeze thanks to the tips and anecdotes! Now to catch up on sleep! 29...

  7. ADMITTED!

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

    Living alone in Naples for a decent price is not easy. I suggest you look at places on or around 951, but be warned that these are usually income-restricted areas. Honestly the easiest thing to do is...

    MeTheRN replied to IHRCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congratulations! I'd recommend really looking at condos for rent. There may still be a few available, although with season in high gear most good things are rented by now. I'd contact a local leasing...

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

    Oh my goodness, it sure is something else! I'm taking 5 classes this semester. I go to class twice a week and study for the rest of the week. My class has 45 students in it from all over the country...

  13. My First Clinical, Nursing-Student Woes

    MeTheRN replied to nursingstudent85's topic in General Students

    Not to rock the boat or anything, but that is exactly why I can't see myself being in nursing for the rest of my

  14. My First Clinical, Nursing-Student Woes

    MeTheRN replied to nursingstudent85's topic in General Students

    Nursing is also not about burning yourself out. You have to be realistic. To me, a 3.5 hour commute one way would not work. That time could be smartly reinvested into studying or preparing for...

  15. Wolford College

    MeTheRN replied to IHRCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Most classes are broken up into anatomy I and II now. I think that's what they mean. If you have questions about your transcript email the school. They'll get back to you

    MeTheRN replied to IHRCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just because they had openings and I'm impatient. Umm I found out on the same day. They might take their time with Spring admission though, since the fall semester is only a few weeks

    MeTheRN replied to IHRCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The interview was very awesome and chill. The first thing they told us was "We already want to admit you, you are all qualified based on your applications. So no tests, no clinical scenarios. Just...

  19. How realistic are my chances?

    MeTheRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello everybody, this website has been unbelievably helpful through my years in nursing school and the beginning of my nursing career. I am here yet again to ask for advice. I would like to know how...

  20. How realistic are my chances?

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

    The best advice I can give is RELAX. If you are qualified, it'll get you an interview. At that point, they're already looking to admit you, so present yourself well and relax. I was intimidated when...

    MeTheRN replied to MeTheRN's topic in General Nursing

    Drank water like a fish with lemon/tea and gargled lots of salt water. My voice was passable today, still rough around the edges but not the most horrible. But good news! I was accepted! So I...
