  1. Anyone else in limbo right now????

    m1lkofamnesia replied to PICU-Murse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I waited a month before I found out...several of my classmates waited SEVERAL MONTHS before finding out. It happens, get a hobby, go to the gym, and try to keep yourself distracted so you aren't tied...

  2. Best direct-entry MSN program with CRNA as ultimate goal?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to lexidann's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You don't need an MSN to get into CRNA school. Do the BSN since it's quicker, less money (I

  3. Applying to CRNA Programs?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to mph53953's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why did your instructor ask you to withdraw? As others have stated, you will more than likely have them question this in an interview. Honesty is always best in my opinion. How are you managing your...

  4. Lung Transplants

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Future1Intub8er1995's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah, you will be lucky to 1 or 2 lung transplants. I have not done one, and I don't think 95% of my class have done one either. Most of the lung cases we get are thoracotomies, wedge resections, etc,...

  5. Wolford college CRNA Spring 2018

    m1lkofamnesia replied to mi_top_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'd rather not say which school I'm at. Per the COA you can count these types of cases if there are 2 students/residents: "Two students share a complex case where there is opportunity for both...

  6. Wolford college CRNA Spring 2018

    m1lkofamnesia replied to mi_top_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm in a program, yes. NO anesthesia residents...I get to do whatever cases I want. You wouldn't be working with them...they would be with their preceptor, and you with yours. You can't have 2...

  8. Wolford college CRNA Spring 2018

    m1lkofamnesia replied to mi_top_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Lol med residents are exactly what you DON'T want...unless you want them taking all of the cool cases while you get stuck in endo.

  9. Etiquette for references?

  10. Wolford college CRNA Spring 2018

    m1lkofamnesia replied to mi_top_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Try to get in somewhere else. This school, if still open, should be an absolute LAST resort option if you cannot get in anywhere else... Anesthesia school is stressful enough, and this program has had...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to opkl15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Additionally, I can tell you for a fact that you will have background checks done...if not for the school, then for your clinical sites. All of the hospitals I've rotated to have required

  12. crna felony

    m1lkofamnesia replied to opkl15's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Criminal history means any criminal history you have had. So yes, it needs to be disclosed. Honesty is the best policy. Explain to them what you have told us. If you checked "no" and they run the...

  13. Lost Pre-Med Student: CRNA or AA?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to MementoMori's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You don't need 3 years to get a BSN. Look at accelerated nursing programs: 1 year and you have your RN. I say CRNA so you can practice anywhere in the

  14. CRNA GRE scores need encouragement

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Justlikehaldolpropofolversed's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Apply to a school that doesn't require GRE. Or, buy the Magoosh course. Schools typically want a combined score >

  15. What was the most challenging part of the CRNA application process?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to learnofjoy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I didn't ask my manager for a LOR because I knew either 1) she wouldn't do it, or 2) it wouldn't be a good LOR. I asked a clinician instead, and that worked out great! My manager didn't like people...

  17. Applying for crna school, with non traditional grades

    m1lkofamnesia replied to RunningNurse18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh boy...I think it will be very hard to get into a CRNA school. You could re-take the science courses and ace them as someone already suggested. You could take the GRE as well, but the score better...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Nolander's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  20. Would you rather be a CRNP?

    Wolford for one. I refused to apply to a few years ago given their history... Glad I dodged that bullet. I feel bad for the current

  21. Minimum ICU experience

    m1lkofamnesia replied to tofu81's topic in General Students

    Most schools want a minimum of 2 years by the time you matriculate into the program. So at the time of application to school, you'd ideally have a year to a year-and-a-half of experience under your...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to ponyboy86's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh, that's tough. I think it'll depend on the school and your stats. Contact the schools you're most interested in and find out their
