  1. Years of experience

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

    I currently have 11 months as a Trauma ICU nurse. I was hired as a new grad. I will have 1.5 years of experience when I start CRNA school in January. Apply. The worst that can happen is they say...

  2. University of South Carolina Interviews

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

    I interviewed on Tuesday June 8th. I got an e-mail this morning offering me a position in the program. I am beyond excited and nervous to begin! Now I have to figure out how to pay for it

  3. University of South Carolina Interviews

    Hobberdog posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just got the e-mail inviting me to interview in June. My head is spinning with questions. I'm wondering if anyone else has similar news and if you have any advice to prepare for the interview. If...

  4. Samford CRNA 2015 interview questions

    Hobberdog replied to HWRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I got an email inviting me to interview the end of July. Now that you have finished a semester, how do you like the school? Any regrets or recommendations?

  5. Michigan State CRNA School any good?

    Hobberdog posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am thinking of applying next month but saw that the MSN portion of the program is all online. Can anyone tell me how they like the school? Pros? Cons? I am looking for a top ranked school that I...

  6. Samford CRNA 2015 interview questions

    Hobberdog replied to HWRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Looks like you never got an answer to your question. I just applied and am hopeful for an interview in July. What can you tell me about the interview process now that you have gone through it? I...

  7. Michigan State CRNA School any good?

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

    I am left assuming that nobody likes the school, nobody knows anything about the school, or that everyone in the school is too busy to respond. Without knowing more about the program, I will probably...

  8. ASU vs. GCU RN to BSN

    Hobberdog replied to ro2878's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Stay clear of the unheard of online schools (like Western Governors). Where you get your degree matters to employers and to your future. You will not be able to progress to a Masters from no name...

  9. Kaiser Fall 2015, anyone

    Hobberdog replied to 562highlander's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Got my email on the 17th. Unfortunately it was not the email I hoped

  10. How to sleep for first night shift?

    Hobberdog replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I agree with iPink. I have tried staying up late and sleeping in the next day. That was probably my worst night of work ever. I have been on nights for a few months now and I find that taking a...

  11. I think I made a mistake by going into the ICU as a new grad.

    Hobberdog replied to Skips's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I felt overwhelmed in my first month. I am now in my 3rd month and will be on my own in 2 weeks. The anxiety I felt is gone. I am ready. I look forward to every day. Give it time and you will...

  12. Advising and application process

    Hobberdog replied to azgal81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm not putting down the program at all. It is a great program. The administrators in charge of admissions are the problem. Correction... the admissions system is a communist system. Maricopa...

  13. Advising and application process

    Hobberdog replied to azgal81's topic in Arizona Nursing

    They are horrible no matter the time of year you try to contact them. I got so fed up with the process that I applied to ASU and GCU (and got into both). Every academic advisor advised me against it...

  14. Does anyone like their job?

    Hobberdog replied to DatMurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Love my job. I think too many people have a misconception of the work involved in nursing. It is a hard job. It requires you to be at your best every day. It is much more than wearing scrubs with...

  15. Banner Good Sam vs Scottsdale Osborn

    Hobberdog replied to guest464345's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I work at Good Sam and I love it. Great people and

  16. Should I apply now, or wait until next year?

    Hobberdog replied to kharper2311's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am in a similar situation. Graduated in May and have been working in a Trauma/Surgical ICU at a Trauma 1 hospital since July. I have similar grades and honors. My question is whether or not to...

  17. ASU or GCU? Which school is better?

    Hobberdog replied to Hobberdog's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I do recommend ASU. The faculty is excellent and they provide a good foundation for knowledge with appropriate clinical experiences. The cost is high, but considering the alternatives, I think it is...

  18. I dread going to work :(

    Hobberdog replied to MrsICURN14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in my 3rd week of orientation in a Trauma 1 ICU. The first week I thought to myself...Oh Crap! What did I get myself into. I was completely overwhelmed. I am finishing my 3rd week and I look...

  19. Nursing Programs in Phoenix

    Hobberdog replied to traceygriffin2's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took all of my prerequisites at MCC and searched every possibility to get right into a program. The communistic approach of Maricopa County is awful (but that is another topic altogether). The...

  20. Starting Salary??

    Hobberdog replied to ollee32's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Here is the board: First Year After Nursing

  21. Starting Salary??

    Hobberdog replied to ollee32's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I just graduated from ASU in May. I was lucky enough to be hired into the ICU at Banner. My starting pay is $26.24 per hour. I will be night shift and that comes with an 18% differential. There are...

  22. ICU Straight outta school?

    Hobberdog replied to WalterWho's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It is possible, but difficult. You may have to travel to get the experience needed to go to CRNA school. Your grades matter. Keep them high. The hardest part for me was finding an "in". I...

  23. Need advice for CHM 130!

    Hobberdog replied to ishurtado's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It has been a while since I took it, but yes... memorize the formulas, look over the quiz questions, and answer all of the essay questions, not just the ones assigned each week. Put in some quality...

  24. Already accepted to BSN but have a C in Patho

    Hobberdog replied to jwalker03's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don't worry about it. Just keep your grades up in nursing school, the higher the

  25. I'm never going to get a job.....

    Hobberdog replied to LizzieB_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got my job because I was shameless about asking friends if they new anyone high up the food chain at a hospital. Networking was the key for me. You can do
