  1. Clarkson College

    emb92250 replied to emb92250's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks! As a follow up to your question, I found out today that a 3 year membership to APEX is included in tuition. This is phenomenal. Basically, APEX is a board exam prep course, but it also has a...

    It was bad lol Apparently across several programs it was not so great. Like, 50%. Our director said she called her friend, who is Mount Marty's director and cried, then Mount Marty's director said,...

    We just got told the interview dates and times, as members of the didactic phase and clinical phase will be present before you interview. The general set up is this: you come about half an hour before...

  5. How do you study in CRNA School?

    emb92250 replied to give em zzzs's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I like using "quizlet.com" which is basically an electronic way to make flash cards. It's way faster for me to type out the flash card than write for some reason. Plus, my program has a class a few...

  6. I am an FNP-BC, but think I am interested in becoming a CRNA

    emb92250 replied to hjosephs's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would just like to add that CRNA probably won't fulfill your need for "fast-paced, critical care, high acuity , high stress situations." It's about 95% monitoring, and the 5% stress is likely to be...

    emb92250 replied to emb92250's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think the dedicated shadowing of a CRNA is great. Mentioning that you worked in the OR for 5 years is ok because it says you know OR rhythm, but those skills don't translate into CRNA skills so I...

    emb92250 replied to emb92250's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not too sound harsh, but you have done the bare minimum as far as prerequisites go for CRNA school. If you are granted an interview, that will be your time to shine. Clarkson is more about getting to...

    emb92250 replied to emb92250's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It was very relaxed compared to some other schools. And I think in the interview they are mostly looking for students with strong personalities that are flexible and sure of themselves (CONFIDENCE!!)....

  10. Did your CRNA program have a Gross dissection lab?

    emb92250 replied to Bluebolt's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There is. It's taken in the third semester of the program (the last of didactic right before clinicals, summer

    emb92250 posted a topic in Government, Military

    Just wanted to throw my situation out there and see if anyone has any advice or feedback. I originally wamted to be to be active duty Army when I first graduated at age 23 with my BSN in 2012, waited...

  16. Shadowing experience inquiry

    emb92250 replied to Changeling's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do you know what school you want to do CRNA school at? You could contact them and see if one of their graduates works in a facility that will allow

  17. Question about best career move for acceptance to CRNA school

    emb92250 replied to chillax63's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Everything you're doing sounds good. The only thing I could suggest in addition to the CCRN and CNRN is getting experience in a cardiovascular ICU. They work with swans and usually pay more attention...

  18. Former traveling nurses?

    emb92250 replied to Lagrecaj's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can spin anything in an interview to look good. For example, bad grades in your BSN program? No problem. Just tell them you've learned since then and that you weren't doing your best at the time...

  19. How to get un-barred

    emb92250 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I worked at a hospital chain, CHI Hospitals, in Omaha Nebraska when I decided to do travel nursing. I gave a 2 weeks notice, however, 4 weeks was required. I was young and dumb, and I had some...

  20. Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    emb92250 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    The doctor prescribed it knowing the risk of interacting with meds. But it seems the benefits outweigh the risks. No different than prescribing any other med. It should be more common in my opinion....

  21. CRNA interview

    emb92250 replied to geogeo1991979's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Strength- handle yourself/good leader under pressure. Weakness- not a strong reader or something along the lines of need to learn how to study again. They can't blame you for that, but shouldn't stop...

  22. CRNA interview

    emb92250 replied to geogeo1991979's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with jj224. First off, each school's interview process is different. Have you applied to any schools yet? Have you searched this forum for your specific program's questions? Some schools ask...

  24. Chances when #6 on wait list for 12 spots?

    emb92250 replied to letahl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When does the program start? If it starts in January or May, not likely. If it doesn't start till August, I think you have a fighting chance. I was waitlisted for a program with 12 spots. Think about...

  25. Is Columbia the right CRNA Program

    emb92250 replied to IfLifeGivesYouLemons's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As stupid as it sounds, I didn't take cost into consideration while deciding which school to go to. I based my decision on every day living and practicality. One of the programs I applied to would...
