Hey guys, For anyone searching blogs on tips for boards, I thought I'd post what helped me. I just took it early this month and thankfully waited only 3 days for me result. I was not worried though. I studied my butt off 12-16hrs a day for 3 weeks...

I applied only to Duke; I got accepted and I start in January. Some people take the "throw darts at the wall and hope one sticks" approach but I did not. I knew where I wanted to go as far back as 2004, and every step I took after that was to bring m...

Only applied to Duke University; loved the interview :) Got accepted and I start in January, 2007... Can't wait. :monkeydance: Anyone else?

3.94 science, 3.68 Nursing, 530 math, 620 verbal, 17months experience. I don't know the excact number but i heard about 38 interviewed and about 20-22 accepted. (I sent you a PM :)

Thanks for the well wishes. To the best of my knowledge, most schools don't let you know if you are not granted an interview. I only applied to Duke so I am not completely sure about this. The process was a bit different form last year. There ar...

Looks like we posted about the same time :) Just found out today I got accepted!

I heard positive things about emmigrantdirect through Suze Orman (the financial adviser on CNBC). Love her show :)

Look into online savings accounts as well. They are paying up to 5.15% interest which is 1000 times more than you will get in any traditional savings account and on par with most CDs. They are all FDIC insured up to $100,000. They are great if you do...

Hey you are really off to a good start. I always look for ways to set myself apart from other applicants. While most people start essays with generic stuff about how they always wanted to be a CRNA and all the essential but boring stuff, you started ...

Just got a call too! :balloons: :balloons: As for the interview, I know they do not ask clinical questions. It is about a half day process and starts early (that's what the facutly member that called me said). I don't think you'll find any detailed ...

You are absolutely right. Everyone's feet respond differently to ventilation or lack thereof. My objection to Danskos and tennis shoes and Birks are not about how much they smell but the price. It's amazing how everyone reads my post and that's all t...

Hi, I hope you haven't purchased any of these expensive shoes because I could save you some money. Do me a favor go to http://www.allheart.com/ahcc1000.html and pick up their $8.99 clogs. I had really expensive shoes: Nike Shox, Adiddas, Reebok......

HI, I am applying there as well and looking for info. I am really surprised no one answered your question. From what I know, they have a really good program (ranked 6th in 2003). However, this year, they lost thier excellent director and a new one ...

PALM! PALM!! PALM!!! I had a Palm Tungsten E (now E2) that is not very high tech but will give good value for the money. I tossed it and got a kick a** DELL Axim X50. Spent close to $400 on it. Dell is windows based. My reasons were: 1: More mem...

Thanks Sandman; that was a great link :)

Hi Everyone, I hope you do not mind my asking. I am interested in the military and only just became eligible. I am looking at all the branches and the airforce is on the top of my list. My question is: Does the AF have a CRNA school and can I a...

Thanks for the info! Helps a whole lot.

hi everyone, i am a crna hopeful, and i came across this message from the president of the north carolina association of nurse anesthetists regarding the bill hb503 which thankfully has been thrown out: if passed, this bill could allow anesthesiolo...

Geez! That was patronizing! Trust me I am focused on getting into school. I know there are 49 other states available but I also know that there are people with commitments in NC myself included. I was just hoping I could get some perspective from th...

I don't know anything specific about this but if I were you I would call your Board of Nursing and find out DIRECTLY from them if there are laws guiding hours nurses can work and also let them know what your boss is up to. If anyone can help you, it ...

Hi Everyone, I am sorry if this has been asked before. But could you please share your experiences with GRE. How you studied for it e.g. took a class? book that really helped? etc. I am seriously at loss as to where to begin and I would appreciat...

Oh my gosh you are so right! I was watching Usher's "Confessions" video a few months back and while my friends were oohing and ahhing...all I could say was ...."Dang he's ripe for venipuncture!" I only saw his veins :rotfl: Crazy ain't it?

I PASSED MY NCLEX....I AM AN RN!! Wow I took the exam on Wednesday and called the BON (North Carolina) this morning as I was driving home and I got my license number....I started bawling like a baby and laughing so hard at the same time...people thou...

Hello everyone, I will be moving to Durham from Atlanta after my graduation in June to begin work at Duke. I keep hearing that Durham is a terrible place to live (per crime). I was wondering if some areas are better than others...anyone recomme...
