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

    I can feel the excitement in everyone's post! Only 10 more shifts for me! I was able to leave work 4 hours early today! Only 2 of our 4 ICU's are open right

  5. Specific Schools

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

    I know that at Mayo, the nurse anesthesia students may be passed over for cases in order to give them to the MDA residents. I used to work there and rarely saw anesthesia students in the heart rooms....

  6. Should a rejected SRNA applicant reapply at same schools or different ones?

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

    You could call the schools and find out how to be a more desirable applicant, you could even call the schools that you interviewed at and ask how to improve your chances for next year. You could gain...

  7. 13 more shifts until I become a SRNA!

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

    Wohoo! One less shift. I started work at 7am, left at 11am for low census and hope I can stay home at 3pm. It would suck to go back in at 3pm for 4 hours. And I want to play in a couples scramble at...

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

  10. GRE-Are my scores good enough? HELP!

    jenniek replied to MS._Jen_RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It depends on the school. Some just require you take the exam, some have a minimum for entry into the program. I'd look at the schools you are interested in and go from there. 1000 seems to be a good...

  11. Class Websites

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

    Sounds great! I wonder if this would work with a Yahoo group. I might have to look into that as I start school this fall. Anyone from TWU starting this fall interested in this?

  12. What was your chemistry base when accepted?

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

    I'm not sure if anyone can take it or only TWU students. I will start the program this fall. The class is four weeks, with four exams every Friday. Go to www.twu.edu then to the anesthesia program. T....

  13. What was your chemistry base when accepted?

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

    TWU required entering students to have a chemistry class within 3 years of starting the program. I will be taking chemistry for nurse anesthetists offered online from the TWU chemistry professor next...

  14. GRE x2

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

    Some schools don't require a specific score, just that you take it. Don't give up and check out what schools you are interested in list in their admission info. Remember, like others have stated, it's...

  15. How hard is it to get in?

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

    A few words of advice. Don't try to BS your way through answers during an interview for grad school....if you don't know the answer to a questions, admit it. They will not expect you to know...

  16. Future of CRNAs

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

    I think it is. I have friends who practice in a WI. The hospital they are employed at tried to get a program started, but met resistance from the MDAs and had trouble finding clinical sites. My...

  17. Any CRNA's who were RRT's out there?

    jenniek replied to tenman11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Some schools accept a bachelor's plus a RN degree (diploma or associate's) Check out the top thread for more info and www.aana.com to find school's that allow a BS degree.

  18. Which schools are "hard" to get into

    jenniek replied to blee1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Personally, I would think that the number per school is pretty consistent, but the number of people reapplying to the same school the second time may be low. I would look at board pass rates, and...

  19. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

    jenniek replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I will start CRNA school this fall. My reason for going is not the money, though it is nice to know I will be compensated. I have worked in the ICU and OR, and will be able to do what I love in an...

  23. Which bank is best for alternative loans?

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

    I am wondering the same myself. I've submitted my FASFA and am waiting to hear back from TWU what I'm eligible for. I will start school mid-August, so plan to applying early August for a loan. I need...

  24. TCU & TWU - front loaded or not?

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

    Front loaded means that you have class room time before you start clinicals in the OR. At TWU, you complete one year of class time before starting clinicals. Integrated programs incorporate clinical...
