  1. GRE for CRNA school

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

    My best advice is to set a date. If you don't, you'll keep putting it off. It's a tough test and even tougher to "study" for. Set a date, it'll motivate you to just get it

  2. weekend plan for my ICU experience?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to sophie<3's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Some schools will accept a year of full-time ICU, others were require 2 by the time you start. At the time I applied to CRNA school, I had a year and 4 months experience. I got accepted. So ignore the...

    Mine was about a page to a page and a half double spaced. Not long at all: intro, two paragraphs, and a conclusion. 6 pages seems a lot, and I doubt they will read the entire thing if it's that long...

    This sounds pretty bad but I literally copied and pasted my essay for another school. Talked about why I chose CRNA over other professions and what I hoped to add to the field. I got a call for an...

  6. loans

    m1lkofamnesia replied to wanger2525's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Wish I made $100k as a nurse! Lol. It is definitely worth it based on what I'm earning now. If I live like I am now after school, I could pay off my loan in less than two years. We will see how it...

  7. loans

    m1lkofamnesia replied to wanger2525's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you don't have anyone to support you, $100k is right. Think health insurance, rent, food, phone, utilities, car insurance/payment/gas, etc...it adds up quickly. Most people aren't able to work...

    Email them. Sometimes their system sends those emails even though they do in fact have it. I don't know why, but sometimes it doesn't update. Just double check with them! Good

  10. loans

    m1lkofamnesia replied to wanger2525's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sounds about right. I estimate I'll need about $100k MINIMUM (I have cheap rent) :/ I'm saving as much as I can now. Hoping to not take out more than $80k in loans but we will see...really trying to...

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

    As long as your GRE scores are good, you should hopefully get a call. The unofficial results at the end of the test ended up being the same as my official scores for quantitative and verbal. I didn't...

    They emailed me today at 11 am that the admission committee was looking at my app and called me about an interview just before 4 pm. I declined to interview, but just wanted to let you guys know they...

  14. what to do after being accepted

    m1lkofamnesia replied to rawz2014's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yep that's where I got it! Also search "anesthesia clipboard" on Amazon. It's a fold-up clipboard with anesthesia quick references on it. I bought it as I'm sure it'll come of use to me

  15. what to do after being accepted

    m1lkofamnesia replied to rawz2014's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just got the Anesthesia Student Survival Guide and have started reading it to learn a bit more about anesthesia and familiarize myself with equipment (it contains some pictures/graphics). So far I...

    I say B. You could have all the money in the world, but if you're not in a place you enjoy, you may not be happy. If you have to travel a lot to see your ill family/friends, that will also cost $$$....

  18. Tampa area hourly rate ?

    m1lkofamnesia replied to Pmkn10RN's topic in Florida Nursing

    For an RN in Tampa with that amount of experience, expect around $25 an hour, possibly more, depending on the hospital

    Brielle, definitely get that CCRN as many schools require it! And, I agree, take the GRE and try to get a 300+. I've been told that most schools look for 300 and up! Try Magoosh if you need a study...
