  2. Pregnant and CRNA school

    m1lkofamnesia replied to love2nurseICU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Mine was specific to my program, and found on their site. Perhaps you could email the program and ask for a

  3. Pregnant and CRNA school

    m1lkofamnesia replied to love2nurseICU's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Have you looked at your school's handbook? This might help you with a decision. I will PM you what my school's handbook

  4. CRNA After Discipline

    m1lkofamnesia replied to berkemeier's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes, I totally understand it's none of our business. It is just hard to predict what admissions will think--and try to give advice. This will definitely have to be discussed with the BON and each...

  5. CRNA After Discipline

    m1lkofamnesia replied to berkemeier's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Was it simply forgetting to waste a med? Multiple wastes not completed? Or was it something else? It's hard to tell what happened with little details given. Let us know how it

  6. Neuro ICU or Oncology ICU to become stronger candidate for CRNA school?

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

    Either one will be fine. I did neuro ICU, because I liked neuro! We ended up getting a lot of MICU overflow as well. I would pick the population you think you'll enjoy more

  7. Classmate Spilled Coffee On My Laptop - Broken

    m1lkofamnesia replied to waterdrifter's topic in General Students

    Oh wow, this sucks. Yes, she definitely needs to pay SOMETHING. Probably not the full $650 (how old was the laptop?) since it's a used laptop. Perhaps she can pay $200-300 and you could get yourself a...

  8. chances of admission?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to cvru_rn_13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Everything looks fine to me, I think you have a chance, but the chance will definitely be increased if you apply to programs that have more students obviously :) I think most schools want at least a...

  9. Masters/ CRNA?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to dgonza_31's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You do not need a masters to apply to a CRNA program. You need a BSN, ICU experience, good GPA, and most places want a GRE and

  10. MSN or DNP? Which would you choose and why?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to passgas21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Same as PresG33, only thing I'd add would be I wanted to start practicing sooner/start getting a paycheck sooner so I can pay off the loans ASAP (and enjoy life a little bit lol). I can always go back...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to cvru_rn_13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  12. How much a CRNA really makes ?

  13. CRNA school: All you need to know

    m1lkofamnesia replied to texanRN0415's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yep, it varies. My program requires 84% to pass each

    m1lkofamnesia replied to fsnurselaur9's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When they called me last year it was only 1 or 2 weeks before the interview date just

  15. High School GPA?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to jerryman09's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I didn't have to submit high school transcripts for CRNA school. Only college. So I'd say

  16. Private loans?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to ERiley1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would pay off your credit card if you can. You will get about $20,500 from the gov't per academic YEAR, then you can take out GradPlus (Direct PLUS) loans on top of that, they should cover what your...

  17. How Competitive are CRNA schools actually...

    m1lkofamnesia replied to katekat17's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You're fine! I had a few B's in undergrad, ended with a 3.72 GPA. I know people who've gotten into CRNA school with lower GPAs. It's all about the "whole picture"...not just GPA. Be sure to meet...

  18. A couple of questions!

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

    Cost: depends on school. Check out all-crna-schools(dot)com. Anywhere from probably $45k-140k tuition, plus living costs (or FREE! if you go the military route). Keep in mind schools will need to be...

  19. Financing CRNA School calling all SRNAS

    m1lkofamnesia replied to patience5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with CRNA, do it, just get it done, start making the CRNA salary sooner rather than later. Interest sucks, but at my RN salary (just under $50k, yeah it sucks, Florida life) it just didn't...

  20. Financing CRNA School calling all SRNAS

    m1lkofamnesia replied to patience5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was in the same boat as you, freaking out about the $'s. Once you start school though, you won't even really have time to pay attention to it. I don't even look at the loan amount. It doesn't matter...

  21. I m crazing for my Nclex Rn, help me plz..

    m1lkofamnesia replied to marineyell's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    From your previous posts, it appears that you have been trying to pass the NCLEX for 3 years (correct me if I'm wrong). Unfortunately, as others have said, I think you may need to have tutoring in...

  23. Barry CRNA Starting 2017

    m1lkofamnesia posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just thought I'd start a thread for all of us applying! I'm planning on completing my application pretty soon. Taking the CCRN this week, and then I'll be ready to go! How are you all faring? Also,...

  24. USF CRNA starting 2017

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

    The 68% pass rate was from the class of 2014. Luckily, things have improved. Another thing to consider at schools is attrition rates. USF's is very low and from what I've seen this first semester I...

  25. USF CRNA starting 2017

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

    One of my classmates interviewed in October last year and did not find out until February. Some people were called with the good news on the day of their interview. I interviewed right before their...
