ArmyTwin CRNA

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone has any recent insight of the onboarding length for CRNAs in 2023? Also, are you happy with your decision to go to the VA as a CRNA? Compensation package? Pros vs Cons Any advice? I used to work ...

Very curious....I live in the Philadelphia/South Jersey area. Also, do you think it's professional to negotiate your first offer?

Thanks so much for sharing your experiences mwach!! If there are any South Florida/Hollywood SRNAs that can share their clinical experiences we would love to hear them [emoji5]️

Maybe you're on the wrong page because we don't have any pending requests.

Hi ICUNURSE Sorry I'm late responding...I didn't receive a notification...but ditto to what kbl said. If you don't use it you lose it and it's not used as a deciding factor for acceptance. Good luck to you!!

Congrats to all who have been accepted and are interviewing soon!! I think it would be a great idea for us to have a FB group. I just created a private group and I can PM a link to all those who have been accepted. Lets get to know the class of 2019...

Thanks! You can be accepted while your CCRN is pending. Go ahead and apply. We chose our preferred locations but are waiting for confirmation. I chose Hollywood.

You should be able to log in and see what's missing. I also received what appeared to be automatic emails periodically telling me what was missing.

Thanks!! No, I think that they're looking at your total package. I think you'll be just fine.

We received emails today. You can be accepted without PALS, CCRN, or their preferred GRE score as long as your achieve it before the start of the program. I have a 3.9 GPA (last 60), 3.8 undergrad, and 3.8 in sciences with 2 organic chems. 148/148 ...

Congrats classmate!

Accepted!!!

The interview went well...just nerve wrecking lol but they were really nice and tried to make us feel relaxed. Just trying to wait patiently for their decision.

I also received a call and email today for an interview. I accepted. I'm so excited! :)

I'm a OR nurse who transferred to the ICU without any bedside experience. I have been an OR nurse for 2 years and a scrub tech for many more. I actually made this big move from OR to ICU while relocating from NJ/PA to FL. I had no connections or affi...

The classroom training I wasn't too fond of. It reminded me of nursing school all over again...long powerpoints, lots note taking, and redundancy & contradictions among instructors. The classroom instruction was back to the basics with A&P (...

I did the ICU training program with HCA although it wasn't the STARN program. It was 4 days a week. Two 12hr shifts in the ICU each week with two 8 hr shifts in the classroom/ simulation lab. That went on for 8 weeks followed by 5 weeks of only ICU o...

And don't forget about those 10 paid federal holidays on top of the other paid days off as mentioned above. That's 49 paid days off a year! I loved it!

I went from an ASC to the VA and received the same comments from doctors and nurses about how horrible the VA is. I actually loved the VA and the OR in Philly. There were some kinks but what workplace doesn't? The benefits were great and the PTO is A...

I just graduated on December 12th 2012. I received my ATT on the 28th of Dec and scheduled my NCLEX-RN for today Jan 3, 2013. From the moment I graduated I began studying (for about 20 days) and I took the Kaplan course the very next day after gradua...
