  1. I WOULD NOT recommend Brookdale

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Slyder's topic in School, College Programs

    Oh my...dear, not everything you do in life will give you "credit." Not everything you accomplish gets a trophy. Soon, you will be getting report from a nurse who did the bare minimum to get through...

  2. I WOULD NOT recommend Brookdale

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Slyder's topic in School, College Programs

    Regarding the math test, at my school, we had 3 attempts and had to get a 100% to pass. I think 2 or 3 of my classmates didn't, and had to complete clinical a semester later. They all graduated, just...

  3. SRNA Switching Schools

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

    First off, moving sucks. It's a pain. Second off, think of all the money that would be wasted if you were to transfer schools. I know you say you don't care about the transfer credits (which won't...

  7. CRNA Question

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

    Current SRNA here. As long as you can keep your overall GPA around 3.5 and higher, I don't really see an issue with the 2 B-'s. I had a few B's while obtaining my BSN but still managed a 3.7+ overall...

  8. PLEASE HELP! I AM STRESSED TO THE MAX!! How long do Prerequisites last?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Ms.Gainer92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. ED nurse to CRNA

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

    anotheroneofmany is right. When I worked in the ICU one of our critical care teams was made up of multiple PA's and NP's, under two attending MDs. The PA's and NP's threw in all types of lines...

  12. ? CCRN prep- Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio notes

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

    You can purchase the PASS CCRN questions without buying the book, which I highly recommend...I think it's only $28 for the online bank of questions? Google "Pass CCRN questions Evolve" and the website...

  13. Interview attire.

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Brooklynn89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wore the same thing to my ICU job interview and CRNA school interview (got hired/accepted to both). Blouse, pants, blazer...all from Express...on sale. Spent less than $100 if I remember correctly...

  14. Looking for Application Advice

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Jleech88's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your stats are good. I would suggest applying to more schools, maybe some with larger class sizes (30ish or more, to increase your chances of getting in), practice interview skills. Were you...

  15. Why or why not CRNA?

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

    Yes, it's definitely doable! Thanks and you

  16. Why or why not CRNA?

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

    Someone on here implied that it takes 12 years to become a CRNA, and you might as well become an MD. This statement is not true at all, so I have to add my two cents. It can take 12 years if you want...

  17. ICU experience for CRNA

    m1lkofamnesia replied to iwantaj0b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Really OP, either ICU will be fine. That contract is a little scary sounding. I think mine was only $5k for 2 years and I'm breaking a month early, but it's prorated (so only like $200, not bad). $20k...

  18. ICU experience for CRNA

    m1lkofamnesia replied to iwantaj0b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know this, but it definitely helps with the acuity of patients you get (especially in neuro ICU), which is helpful for CRNA school

  21. Low GRE scores, dyslexic

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

    I used both the Kaplan book and the Princeton Review one and found the latter to be easier to read through. Google free Magoosh GRE resources & download their vocabulary app--helped me out a bunch...

  22. Low GRE scores, dyslexic

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

    From what I've seen, most schools would like to see a score of 297 and up. I've heard great things about Magoosh for GRE prep. Try that, take it, and see how you
