  3. What to wear (for women)?

    jenniek replied to RNNJ's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm assuming you are talking about your interview for anesthesia school? You want to dress to impress. Head to Casual Corner, Ann Taylor or a similar store and let them know what you need and what you...

  5. Away from family during school

    jenniek replied to chaosRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am eight hours from home, but only for the fall semester. I have no kids and hubby wasn't able to relocate due to work. I'm living in the dorm, so I won't have a lease to break. We have no children,...

  6. making forum better

    jenniek replied to berry's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good idea. If anyone has questions about a specific school...start a thread and go from there. I'd be willing to offer info on the school I'm attending and the other one I interviewed at.

  7. CRNA Degree which title is better?

    jenniek replied to CI-PLANTOGAS's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes, the one that you get accepted to and graduate from. "Good" is a relative term and it is better to ask if you want a front-loaded or integrated program, master's of science or master's of...

  8. Should I apply now?

    jenniek replied to thunderpal's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would apply and schedule your GRE if you haven't already taken it. By the time you start a program, you will have had a year of experience in. Good

  9. New school in NC?

    jenniek replied to rnbeauty's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Try calling the COA number from the AANA website. I did that to find out about a proposed school in Wisconsin a few years ago and they were able to give me info if there was work on a school. It's a...

  10. CRNA Degree which title is better?

    jenniek replied to CI-PLANTOGAS's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If you have any desire to pursue a doctorate in nursing, you should pursue a master's in nursing rather than a master's in science. If you have no desire to continue beyond master's level education,...

    jenniek replied to yoga crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  12. If you can't say anything nice...

    jenniek replied to wallyballie_golf's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm probably in the minority here, but I was up front with my manager of my intentions to attend CRNA school, and was hired at the end of the interview. The philosophy is that they will have a good...

  13. Can I join AANA?

    jenniek replied to Kiwi's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Actually, it's $20 for program length!!! Even better than $20 per year! I did the same at my program, filled out the paper work on orientation day. If you know a CRNA or student, ask for their...

  14. gre in less then 30 days

    jenniek replied to rn91's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Follow the advice already given. It's stupid test, but one that is a requirement for admission. As long as you interview well, and are otherwise a well rounded applicant, it won't be weighed as...

  15. Goal to become Nurse Anesthetist

    jenniek replied to mrod's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Missy, If you haven't already, read the sticky notes on the top of the messages. They share a lot of information. Some programs accept you with a bachelor's plus associate degree in nursing, but you...

  19. Excelsior College and CRNA

    jenniek replied to deannicholas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You are probably right. It wasn't even an issue for me, just that I was on track to graduate this past May.

  20. Excelsior College and CRNA

    jenniek replied to deannicholas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    good advice, though if the program is NLN certified, then there should be no problem. I received my BSN from UW-Green Bay this past May. It was entirely online, except for a few classes which I worked...

    jenniek replied to gasgiver's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
