    sjbrk replied to WyoRN18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hope you're using this extended break (that all the upper classes are jealous of ? ) to start studying renal! Issa

  4. Mount Marty CRNA school

    sjbrk replied to WyoRN18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just a reminder that they send out acceptance letters in batches. And - if you get on the waiting list there is still quite a bit of hope for you. I got accepted in April with a May start and am...

  5. Mount Marty CRNA school

    sjbrk replied to WyoRN18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Biased because I am at the Fargo site and love it there. Lots of autonomy, huge variety of cases. Site coordinator is awesome. Cons would be we won't get a lot of regional, which I am not worried...

  6. Mount Marty CRNA school

    sjbrk replied to WyoRN18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey, I know this is late but with interviews coming up thought I would drop my $0.02. I'm a second year student in the first semester of full-time clinicals. I really like our program. I feel...

  7. Mount Marty CRNA

    sjbrk replied to MNCV_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey there! I'm an almost 2nd year at Mount Marty. The Summer semester has no tests. You will have deadlines for papers, group work, and quizzes, so you have some flexibility. You can definitely work...

    sjbrk replied to MNCV_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You guys will set up a facebook group the first time you meet in real life, alternatively one of you can make one and email Kristi and have her send it out to your

  9. Grading Scale

    sjbrk replied to Sonidas's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It is a lot different than nursing school. There is more material in a shorter amount of time and you have to know it more in depth. Our grading scale is A: 93-100, B: 85-92. You are only allowed to...

  10. Budgets, Loans, Scholarships - Oh my.

    sjbrk replied to brookalyn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So the thing with scholarships is, if you have time prior to school, go for it! But once you're in school... I recently received an email about a scholarship application but the amount of work it...

  11. A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

    sjbrk replied to RN_2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Seems like you are now replying just to argue. I'm not at all worried that people won't apply/go to school bc of an "early" transition. I sold my home and moved 4000 miles away to go to school. My...

  12. I got into a CRNA program...how can I prepare myself?

    sjbrk replied to chris21sn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Best thing I did for myself was...Not try to "get ahead" or study before I started school. I took a vacation and other than that saved money. We had to move across the country so we did that about 3...

  13. Mount Marty CRNA

    sjbrk replied to MNCV_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Last year the waitlist deadline was april 1....and I got a call on April 14 ? Hope you hear something

  14. Mount Marty CRNA

    sjbrk replied to MNCV_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So I had class with ---------------------- today and he said they have not sent out all of the acceptance letters yet, just

  15. Mount Marty CRNA

    sjbrk replied to MNCV_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would say about 75% of the people interviewing brought someone with them. I brought my sister! I don't believe they look down on anyone who doesn't have someone with them though - they don't...

  16. Mount Marty CRNA

    sjbrk replied to MNCV_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can't give you too many specific questions as I've forgotten most of them. We also have a new director this year but I believe they will still be mostly personality based. The two that I remember...

  17. Mount Marty CRNA

    sjbrk replied to MNCV_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Definitely. Trying to find information on this school was terrible. We have given that feedback to administration and they are planning on increasing their social media presence, although who knows...

  18. Mount Marty CRNA

    sjbrk replied to MNCV_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I believe we were notified prior to Christmas but I can't remember the exact range. They'll give you that information at the beginning of the interview day - they do a kind of information Q/A session...

  19. Mount Marty CRNA

    sjbrk replied to MNCV_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey there, I'm in MTMC's program right now, interviewed last year. Our cohort is 35 students, they interviewed just over 90. They received just over 150 applicants this year, and I assume they will...

  20. Taking a year off after Graduation

    sjbrk replied to Nursestudent103.2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One of my clinical instructors had shaky hands. She had been working for years in an acute care setting. When she had to do something like start an IV/draw blood, she'd tell her patient: My hands...

  21. Calling patients and/or co-workers "honey" or "hon"

    sjbrk replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just find those phrases incredibly condescending. When I don't remember a name I use "ma'am" or "sir" until I figure out what the name is. I work in LTC and one of our rehab Pts was a former nurse....

  22. Annoying female coworker conversations

    sjbrk replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Today I learned to never google a term found on AN in a public place. Thank you, Google, for bringing up pictures as well as the definition. Thank you, random person sitting next to me for getting up...

  23. The *EXPERT* Beginner

    sjbrk replied to Kelly_the_Great's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This post is interesting to me, as a soon-to-be new grad (May!). I am, generally speaking, a fairly cocky little bugger. I am confident. I am not obnoxious about it, but I have confidence in myself...

  24. Employment verification with private duty nursing job?

    sjbrk replied to Curiousnurse83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you called the school to find out if that would be an acceptable job? They will be able to give you an exact answer and, like yourself, all we can do is

  25. Help! On what state should i apply without requirinf tofel exam?

    sjbrk replied to louiseraphelle's topic in Nurse Registration
