Hey Just wanted to let everyone know about an awesome NCLEX review. It is called the HURST review. Anyone from the South already knows this, but I want to get the word out to the rest of the nation. They guarantee that you pass the first time! I ...

Does anyone know what type of questions have been asked in interviews for admission to school. I have never had a problem in the past, but i am just wondering what type of things have been asked in the past.

I am about to enter clinicals like you. Don't worry. There are all types out there. Just be thankful for the good ones, know that you don't ever want to be like the bad ones. The more our "chops" get busted the better it'll make us anyway! Good l...

Dude...summer totally bites! I hear you lucky folks have had it quite nice. Good luck at clinical.

I have a feeling i may be familiar with your situation and even the school you are at. All the #'s are adding up. First of all in response to one of the posters, no one "gets flunked"....they flunk. (I do realize that there are exceptions to this a...

I just took what i didn't need and did a 6month CD. After 6 months i needed a bit of it so i took that out, then renewed the CD. Better to earn a little interest than to just let it sit there. Plus if you see that big amount in your bank account y...

I have always been pretty independent as well, however with this material you will come to see that sometimes you need to discuss it with someone. So, this is how i have done it. I have a good friend in my class and we study seperate. When one of u...

I am about to finish my first year of school and I 2nd that statement. The volume of material is overwhelming, but with sacrifice and hard work it is possible. When i was in nursing school i thought it was hard, but i had NO idea what difficult was...

I must say i am with you on this one Brian. I do think sometimes people can come on a little strong on here, but sometimes it is deserved. Hey Brian, how do things look for CRNA's up there? I am thinking of moving that way after graduation. I am ...

I have seen RRNA and SRNA quite often here and just wondered what you all thought of the 2 titles. I like RRNA myself. They way they explained it to us at TCU is that it can ease some pt anxiety when they see SRNA they are thinking oh my goodness a...

3.0 GPA is your overall GPA that is on your transcript from your college. After this they will usually take your nursing and science courses and would like to see that at atleast a 3.0 if not better in those courses. Hope it helps.

More than demand for anesthesia provider statistics, i'd look at the ages of our population and the fact that the baby boomers are getting older, sicker, etc and there is a very large number of them. The need for anesthesia providers will be increas...

It's just like school days again! Wear whatever you want. You'll be in class a bunch so make sure you're comfy for all day!

I did the wells fargo way early all you have to do is get a fax from the school or something with their letterhead on it that says you will be enrolled full time, etc. If you have been accepted your school should be able to give you this without a p...

I lived in Austin before attending school and what i saw was pretty MDA dominated. The cost of living is UNREAL. I'd like to go back, but refuse to pay that much property tax, etc. Capitol is the one group and a friend of mines boyfriend just grad...

It would be nice however most schools want references completed on a form from the school. Just be organized and have everything ready for the people writing your references (prepaid envelopes, already addressed, etc) and they will not mind filling ...

From what i hear (from someone who was involved with the ranking process in the past), it is pretty much a political thing and a popularity contest. I hear it's not even based on facilities, instructors, or pass rates. Is there anyone who can have ...

I am in CRNA school now and it is random testing here. We were tested on the first day of school actually.

Welcome to you all. I am in the middle of summer session and i am ready for you guys to start because it means i will finally be in clinical! It goes really fast! Good luck to you all. Make sure to take some time off before school starts...you'll wi...

you will not be able to work full time and go to school. it's not like you just have class once a week. cut bills and concentrate on school. you owe it to your future patients that you know the material being presented. i know afew people who tried t...

Let the way that they are handling this situation with you be a little insight on the program. IF you are not satisfied with the way they are treating you now, things may not be any better when school starts. I'd maybe consider some of the other sc...

Just wanted to let everyone know DO NOT rent/lease with a company called Prime Properties. I won't say anything more than that, but rent at your own risk. My husband and I just got totally screwed by them and what good is this board if we can't warn...

Thanks, not worried about that because i have paid them all they say i owe, etc...they just have too much and i want it back....so did what i was supposed to! Thanks anyway

Wish i could help but i don't have the school insurance. Better call the office. I am sure they know the down and dirty. I haven't heard any complaints, but they would probably hear more about that than me anyway. Good luck

The suprise is mostly the the overwhelming amount of information you are expected to know. None of the concepts are sooo difficult that you can't understand them, it's just the amount. And you think you knew about time management as an ICU nurse?? ...
