  1. Tired of searching for CRNA Interview Questions??

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to crna2blg's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No, this is referring to Fairfield University. Sorry I thought I replied directly to the quote

  2. Tired of searching for CRNA Interview Questions??

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to crna2blg's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    They are pretty laid back with their interviews, not a lot of clinical questions for me- I think they base it on your experience because other people in my class did get asked some clinical questions....

  3. Recommendations for CRNA applicants

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to CRaus's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi CRaus, Generally, most programs prefer adult ICU. This includes any high-acuity ICU, including cardiac, surgical, neuro, and medical. There are a few programs that will accept NICU, and I'm...

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to puppies'n kittens's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I did read the entire conversation, if that's what you want to call it. I chose to comment on a single post because otherwise I would be here all day. Trust me, I have plenty to say, but my more...

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to Go-GetterRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    GoGetter, Here are just a couple of things (directly from their website) that jumped out at me when looking at my current program before applying: Selection ProcessThe Program accepts up to 14...

  7. Where did you go to school?

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to Go-GetterRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, all-crna-schools.com was my home page for quite a while. Very informative but verify information you see on there such as application deadlines. I found that some were not updated to recent...

  8. MSN SRNA vs. DNAP SRNA Schooling

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to RN_MEDIC's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am in my 2nd semester of a DNP program, and it is front loaded. My first semester was not easy (just the tip of the iceberg), but this semester is only DNP courses, so it's a nice break. The calm...

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to puppies'n kittens's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ok, I have to throw in my 2 cents. Are you serious?? This is your argument? Obviously this longwinded bundle of jealousy isn't going to respond appropriately to whatever information we provide him...

  11. crna loan payment plan after graduation

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to amber2brnbsnmsncrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can increase your COA, it just isn't easy. I am going to be about $8K short/year on student loans. I need 6 months of receipts to increase my COA and get more money. It's really scary to know...

  12. What got you into school?

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to RNextraordinare's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  14. Boston-area and GRE

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to AA012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I used Kaplan for the GRE. I interviewed at both Northeastern and Boston College. They were very similar regarding the interviews, I would say Boston College was a little more laid back than...

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to crna2blg's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Agreed, but not every icu has awesome people in it like yours. You have to be proactive (like Go-Getter), ask questions and do research on your own to increase your knowledge every chance you get. I...

  16. Tired of searching for CRNA Interview Questions??

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to crna2blg's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The specific clinical questions CRNA schools ask in interviews are usually based on what you claim your area of expertise to be. I looked up everything I could about the things I saw the most in the...

  17. New to forum and need some advice :)

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to sweettooth012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    sweettooth, The other posters are correct in that nursing is not the most flexible job in the world. But I have to disagree with some of it... If you work in a hospital, normally you work 12 hour...

  18. Im 24 and I want to be a nurse badly but my age discourages me!

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to M.C.P's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had those same thoughts when I was taking pre-reqs for my BSN program. I graduated in 2009 at age 28, got a great job too! I was never as happy as I was on graduation day. And now, at age 31, I am...

    SrNaOnMyWaY posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

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

  25. Is this legal?

    SrNaOnMyWaY replied to CRudlerRN's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Ugh, then it's pretty clear they don't want to hire anyone from that program. I'm sorry its not fair at all for them to judge all new RNs from a program based on a couple of "bad eggs". Move on, the...
