1. Online CRNA School

   statABG replied to tinm's topic in SRNA

   There are not online crna programs. There are some programs with distance learning programs, but all require that you spend a significant period of time on location.

2. Stay in MICU or go to STICU?

   statABG replied to Spoiled1's topic in SRNA

   I personally think you should go to the STICU. A different experience will not be looked at as a bad thing. You already have the required experience from the MICU. The only thing is getting good letters of recommendation from your new boss, being tha...

3. Is it worth taking MSN core classes to become a "competitive applicant"?

   statABG replied to Spoiled1's topic in SRNA

   It certainly wouldn't hurt, however, keep in mind that this is a way for the school to make money; and your acceptance is not guaranteed if you take the classes. There are a few other schools that out there that "strongly encourage" candidates to tak...

   They don't make final decisions until about April, from what I am told. Keep the faith!

   Just found out yesterday I was accepted to Case Western starting in Fall of 2013. I'm very excited and nervous! Anybody else out there hear anything?

   I agree with RealNurse. I would call.

8. Case/CCF 2012 Interview forum

   statABG replied to statABG's topic in SRNA

   Hey there, just had my interview today. Seemed to go pretty well. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Very general questions and only one clinical question (some people get basic math questions). Just relax and be yourself. I think that is the key....

9. Excela Health Interview

   statABG replied to malamutepants's topic in SRNA

   I was there on September 18th. It was an all day event, but they make it enjoyable. Start the morning with breakfast and a meet-and-greet with the faculty/staff and current/other prospective students. They give you a presentation on the school, the c...

10. New Grad applicant walked on a unit today...

    statABG replied to BotoxBaby's topic in Job Hunt

    As hard as it is to find a job these days, I don't think you did the right thing here. You can't just walk onto a unit unannounced and uninvited. I know you want to show that you are proactive and a "go-getter", but this is just unprofessional. It is...

    statABG posted a topic in SRNA

    hello all, I just received my notice for interview request at Case Western and was wondering if any other prospective students had as well. I'm also wondering if anyone knows exactly when interviews are being conducted this year. Based on what I have...

12. CCRN exam

    statABG replied to PActuRN's topic in Critical

    I just finished the CCRN and passed. Personally, I would recommend getting the book from the AACN. I actually had a significant number of questions on the CCRN exam that appeared on the practice exams in the book. The Pass CCRN! CD is nice as well. I...

13. Chances? Wait 1 or 2 years to apply?

    statABG replied to tsicuRN1's topic in SRNA

    The GRE is not as bad as you might think. Just study hard for a month or two and you will be fine. It is a frustrating test to study for because you get bogged down in the technicalities of it. I would recommend getting the Kaplan books, particularly...

14. Chances? Wait 1 or 2 years to apply?

    statABG replied to tsicuRN1's topic in SRNA

    I agree with everyone else. You should apply this year. Take it from personal experience, I was in your boat last year and decided to wait. I don't necessarily regret waiting another year and getting solid CVICU experience but as the saying goes, lif...
