  1. CRNA interview

    naptime14 replied to caseybrianne04's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just be yourself. If you don't know something they are asking, don't make it up. Just politely say, "I don't know the answer to that but will be willing to research and look it up." Know why you...

    naptime14 replied to Cardiomegaly's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    naptime14 replied to RealNurse419's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi! Did you interview for the CRNA program at Case? If so, is it for the class starting this August? We already have 28 people in our class, so I'm assuming if they have any last minute drop-outs,...

    naptime14 replied to Shijo's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  9. CRNA gpa. Am I to far gone?

    naptime14 replied to ava_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don't lose hope! Most of us were young and dumb when we first started college (and if you weren't.....i'm sorry, you had no fun). I think most of the programs realize this. Like some others have...

  10. CRNA willing to allow me to shadow in or near Savannah, GA

    naptime14 replied to snbell's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think the first step would be to shadow a critical care nurse in an ICU. I see that you have a background in chemistry, but this unfortunately is not what it takes. To be a CRNA, one must possess...

    naptime14 replied to tswim's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would recommend staying where you are. Get your CCRN credentials if you don't already have them. I've heard of people getting into CRNA school with community hospital experience. Seems like you...

    naptime14 replied to naptime14's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got my letter in the beginning of September and they didn't call me until the end of October to schedule the interview. So I would give them a good 5 to 6 weeks (at the latest) to call
