1. Working during CRNA school/ surviving

   Oneeyedester replied to Jesusforever's topic in SRNA

   My program is integrated but I can absolutely tell you that none of us have any extra time to work. I would spend my entire weekends studying. Health insurance was provided and required by my school at a reasonable cost that's billed like tuition.

   Any other USC Class of 2020 members out there?

3. Would you accept the FIRST program that extends an offer to you?

   Oneeyedester replied to icuCCRNurse's topic in SRNA

   Most schools give you a very short window to decide and send in the deposit. I think it would be unwise to say no to a done deal and possibly be out some money to later not get accepted at all. I was very blessed in that I was accepted to my top choi...

   Oneeyedester replied to JWOkStRN's topic in SRNA

   Dang. They must have perfect grades, experience, and interview well to get accepted before half of the applicants were interviewed. Good for them! I interviewed the second week too. Our SRNA guides told us they heard in about 3 days last year.

7. Non BSN GPA 2.6, ABSN GPA 4.0

   Oneeyedester replied to BikerRN25's topic in SRNA

   The way your grades recovered while working on your BSN speaks more for your ability than the grades for your first degree. Be prepared to answer questions about those grades but do not let them hold you back.

9. Psych RN Considering CRNA

   Oneeyedester replied to Zyprexa's topic in SRNA

   Many people apply and get in with two years of ICU experience. You know this is your goal so use your time wisely. Learn your craft, get certified and use each patient experience as an opportunity. Don't get into the habit of routine. Look up the rea...

10. Psych RN Considering CRNA

    Oneeyedester replied to Zyprexa's topic in SRNA

    I agree with the above. Also, you will probably have a hard time getting into a CVICU without prior adult ICU experience. So by the time you do your regular adult ICU and transfer to CV you're really probably looking at the same timeline you have wri...

11. To all the ladies....

    Oneeyedester replied to cvru_rn_13's topic in SRNA

    I wore a blush colored blazer and pencil skirt (Express) with a black and white mini-striped shirt. If you wear heels make sure you have a back up plan or that they won't rub blisters and you are comfortable in them all day. I wore kitten heels and d...
