  2. SICU RN, I just turned in my applications

    Mully replied to SRNA2017's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It adds a lot that you have done well in your most recent science classes. Prepare for the interview as in prepare to answer the obvious questions you know they're going to ask. You should definitely...

  3. Working while in CRNA school...

    Mully replied to JustForToday's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My school allows you to work, but it highly discourages it. Certainly you can't work full time. Here's a good example; one person in my class kept his job in the ICU per diem which only required 1...

  4. SICU RN, I just turned in my applications

    Mully replied to SRNA2017's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What were your grades in Orgo/bio chem? Honestly, but with love, your GRE, GPA, and experience are all quite average. Nothing about this profile stands out very much. It is good that you have your...

  5. Required to keep CCRN when accepted into school?

    Mully replied to rcj23's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  6. How are you supposed to survive while going to CRNA school?

    Mully replied to meganlee614's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Honestly, the money is there. If it wasn't, people wouldn't be going to school. Government loans have been more than enough for me so far, and should be for the entirety of my program. Focus on paying...

  7. Admitted! Now how do I pay for it?

    Mully replied to dressagerdr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh, I've also had the thought that if I run out of money near the end of the program, I'll get one or two no-interest credit cards that they're always spamming me with and run a couple bills up on...

  8. Admitted! Now how do I pay for it?

    Mully replied to dressagerdr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Generally most people can get by with just the loans from the government - especially those in your situation (single, no kids). Turns out you spend waaaaaay less when in anesthesia school because you...

  9. I need advice! DNP-A or MSN?

    Mully replied to pink.berry's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I went to a MS-A program rather than a DNP program because I really have no interest in the things that the DNP offers. I just want to be a great clinical practitioner. Plus I figure I can always go...

  10. What can I do this year to improve my chances?

    Mully replied to seamel's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do well on the GRE - time yourself when you practice. Also 4.0 your statistics. Otherwise you look very competitive. Prepare your typical interview questions because you should get

  11. Advice to Improve

    Mully replied to callisto1013's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You should get interviews at more than half of the schools you apply to. Then you gotta nail the interview. If you'd like something to improve, I'd retake the Biochem and get a 4.0. That's the only...

  12. One semester left and I'm scared I'll fail!!

    Mully replied to firechalice's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard...

  14. Torn - CRNA or not?

    Mully replied to FilAmICU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah that sounds more

  15. Torn - CRNA or not?

    Mully replied to FilAmICU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You spent 110K in one year? Do you have a family that you're supporting? And how much is your tuition? That seems like a ton. But my tuition is about 20k/year and I'm

  17. Tips on acceptance to UT Houston

    Mully replied to WalterWho's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You're doing all the right things. Just continue to follow the advice that blankets the internet. Get a job in a SICU or CTICU at a level 1 trauma center, learn all you can, do great on the GRE, get...

    Mully posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I recently went to a job interview and one of the first questions I was asked is, "When was the last time you wow'ed a patient?" Up until this point I thought the interview was going pretty well. I...

    Mully replied to Ali22's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It sounds like you've got two things that are really making you have these feelings. 1) Anxiety in general. It sounds like you've got a lot of anxiety about making a mistake and causing harm. A small...

  23. Shadowing CRNA

    Mully replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You definitely should shadow. I got rejected when I called the hospital HR dept. Then I called the school I was applying to and asked if they had any advice. They immediately set me up with someone at...

    Mully replied to elixRN's topic in General Students

    A one way ticket to Hawaii seems to solve a world of problems. I may have to try that sometime. Great story! Man you did have some challenges come against you! I wanted to scream for
