  1. To all my Union TN SRNA's (housing question)

    I live in Camelia trace. Several other students in my class do as well. I love it. Some live in Cherry Grove, but they say it can be loud.
  2. Internal (facility) issue and questions

    Is this in Birmingham? I know several practicing CRNA's in Alabama and this isn't happening anywhere they work.
  3. CRNA School

    You may want to think of a different career direction then. If you don't have the motivation to be a CRNA you won't make it through school. A good living won't be enough motivation. If the change to a doctorate puts you off this much then you probabl...
  4. What Most Prepared You

    The best thing that I can say is get your time management down. Once you have your time managed well, you will be able to handle the high volume about to come your way. Before you start school take time off and relax!
  5. Greetings

    I took the very unconventional route of lpn>adn>bsn and now in a DNP program. Also from the OR to ICU. Anything is possible. Good luck, you got this if you keep your eyes on the prize.
  6. Choices (looking for CRNA's advice)

    I am a student at Union right now. I'm in the DNP program. I love it! The teachers are awesome and very easy to get in touch with. The students ahead of me say they get around 1000 cases before graduating. We go to Memphis and Vanderbilt for the big ...
  7. Union University BSN to DNP- CRNA Fall 2014

    I think they said in February. I'm not 100% sure but I believe that's when they are doing the next one.
  8. Union University crna interview

    Congrats everyone!! This is very exciting. Union is a wonderful place! You'll love it here.
  9. Union University crna interview

    If I remember correctly you'll get a phone call within 2 weeks if you are accepted. Good luck!
  10. Union University BSN to DNP- CRNA Fall 2014

    I have class in the afternoon. I'm going to be helping Tuesday with interviews.
  11. Union University crna interview

    I remember how I was before the interview. You don't have to prepare for anything. They asked about a certain pump and I'd never used it before. I was just honest with them. Don't be too confident, they like humble.
  12. Union University BSN to DNP- CRNA Fall 2014

    It's great! I go to class 4 days a week right now. It's a lot of work but I'm learning a lot also. I would be glad to mentor you.
  13. Union University crna interview

    The only clinical question I had was, what kind of pumps do you use?
  14. Union University crna interview

    I think they look for people who will fit in there with their beliefs.
  15. Union University BSN to DNP- CRNA Fall 2014

    I sure do. I'm in the DNP program as we speak. They have students wait with you before you interview so you can ask questions. Everyone is very nice, you will love the instructors.
  16. Union University BSN to DNP- CRNA Fall 2014

    Good luck to you all. I will be there the 12th during the morning. The interview is laid back so just be yourself. It's a great school, you'll love it!
  17. Nursing and then medical school?

    Union university is also a DNP. I am attending here as we speak.
  18. If you had it to do over again.....

    Check out Dave Ramsey. Follow his steps and you'll be good.
  19. Nervous about starting school?

    I hear you missnurse. I've taken off the whole month of July and it has been great!! I've worked and went to school at the same time since high school. I won't know how to handle it.
  20. Nervous about starting school?

    Detroit, I'm glad you're confident. School will be challenging with a child. Anything worth doing is tough though. I'm as prepared as possible. I've been out of school for 2 years though so i'm dreading the grueling school work and study hours.
  21. Nervous about starting school?

    What are you going to do about insurance. My wife and I talked about her moving up with me but we need insurance.
  22. Nervous about starting school?

    Right here! 1 kid and wife staying behind in home state. A mortgage and rent plus utilities in both places. $26,000 a year in tuition. All this plus, you know, actually going to school. This is what we signed up for though. I am excited too!!
  23. "Anesthesiologists are gaming the system"

    I believe you guys are correct. I was confusing the wording. I'm man enough to know when I'm wrong.
  24. "Anesthesiologists are gaming the system"

    It really is semantics. This has gone way off topic anyway.
  25. "Anesthesiologists are gaming the system"

    You guys are killing me. The point is if there is need for anesthesia someone is doing a case. Also, I've circulated a bunch and when an mda does a pain block he is the "surgeon." In the ER if they are performing a procedure they are the "surgeon" on...
