  1. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

    PVCCHoo replied to rolexcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ^^^I hear what you are saying Screen Name and I am paying attention to all of that as well. I was not even aware of what a nurse anesthetist was until I started looking in to becoming an RN and as a...

  2. Advice for 2014 UVA hopeful!!

    PVCCHoo replied to knoonan87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Here's some free advice on housing for incoming students. The best place to live for nursing students would be the JPA neighborhood (Jefferson Park Ave.) If you can snag an apartment on Monroe or...

  3. Hope for all the people trying to get into anesthesia

    PVCCHoo replied to rolexcrna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for this post rolex. It does seem like every time a young nursing student comes on here and starts a thread saying they are interested in becoming a CRNA they are met with hostility. I don't...

  4. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    PVCCHoo replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks Zeus. Yeah, I think I meant Federal/State grants. At least that's what I was told by the schools. I have checked out J&J's scholarship page, but have not looked that closely at it....

  5. Accelerated BSN, how much did it cost you

    PVCCHoo replied to Sophiamez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not doing an accelerated BSN, but 130,000 seems insane when it costs less than 10K to do it at the community college. Yes, I realize that is just an ADN, but paying 10X as much for a degree...

  6. Advice for 2014 UVA hopeful!!

    PVCCHoo replied to knoonan87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Huh. I did not get that email, but my email on my phone has been acting funny. It does seem odd that you would get that email if you had not been accepted. 2 more hours I guess and the decisions will...

  7. UV Medical Center Nurse Residency summer 2014

    PVCCHoo replied to bsarver's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Ok, so for UVA specifically, is that how all new grad nurses are hired on there? Or can you also apply for a job posting for RN 1 on the UVA Health System jobs page? What is the

  8. UV Medical Center Nurse Residency summer 2014

    PVCCHoo replied to bsarver's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Is UV the same as UVA? What exactly is a nurse residency program? I am not even in nursing school yet, so I would be interested to know what they are. I am assuming it is a program for new grads, but...

  9. VCU without lots of Chemistry

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

    I have no idea cause I am not even in nursing school. But to prepare myself to eventually apply to CRNA school (VCU specifically as well cause I live in VA), I am taking CHM 111 and CHM 112 next year...

  10. Advice for 2014 UVA hopeful!!

    PVCCHoo replied to knoonan87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Just got an email saying they are doing interviews through the week of the 16th and decisions will be posted on your MyGrad page on Saturday Dec

  11. What is a new graduate nurse supposed to do if there aren't any jobs available?

    PVCCHoo replied to skyheaven477's topic in Nursing Career

    Scary stuff in this thread. I am lucky enough to own a small business that allows me the flexibility to work whenever I want and attend classes (cab driver with a couple vehicles). I plan on working...

  12. Can I get into CRNA school??

    PVCCHoo replied to francoml's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't see what the big deal with the GRE is. I bought the 20 dollar Princeton Review book 3 months before the test. Didn't have time to get through all of it and still managed to get a 310 (158...

  13. Advice for 2014 UVA hopeful!!

    PVCCHoo replied to knoonan87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I had my interview on Tuesday. Very short and only a few questions about what your experience and what you find attractive about the program. I really think it is to make sure you are capable of...

  14. Move out of state for ICU experience?

    PVCCHoo replied to future_anesthetist's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have not even entered nursing school yet, but was thinking this might be an option for getting in to an ICU, since I only have one big hospital in my local area and it could take years to even get...

  15. Advice for 2014 UVA hopeful!!

    PVCCHoo replied to knoonan87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Finally got my email interview to schedule one for next week. Of course, the only times are either during one of my classes or when I would otherwise have been studying for an exam. But at least I am...

  16. Advice for 2014 UVA hopeful!!

    PVCCHoo replied to knoonan87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I was wondering the same thing. One of my classmates got an email about a phone interview for next week today and said his application was complete around the 20th. With my app being completed so...

  17. "Expiration" dates on pre-requisite courses?

    PVCCHoo replied to HenryH's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am not even in nursing school yet, but wouldn't it be beneficial to have those classes more recently as Milk said? Seems like that would help you when you get to school. Also, as I understand...

    PVCCHoo replied to knoonan87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    That's all mine says and I submitted mine on

  19. Advice for 2014 UVA hopeful!!

    PVCCHoo replied to knoonan87's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I don't know what mine says right now, but I do know that last week it finally updated to show that all my test scores and transcripts had been received. I was waiting on my final letter (that I asked...

  20. CNL to CRNA

    PVCCHoo replied to BusyBee91's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am in nearly the same boat. Applying to a master's entry CNL at UVA and AD/BSN at community college where you take an extra class per semester online through ODU to get the BSN. I emailed VCU...

    PVCCHoo replied to knoonan87's topic in Virginia Nursing

  22. Any advice to become a stronger candidate for CRNA school?

    PVCCHoo replied to bestclassever's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi. I am not even a nurse yet, but if you are becoming an NP, why would you then be applying to CRNA school? Did I read that right? Why even get the NP in the first

  23. RN to CRNA - which road?

    PVCCHoo replied to TheBlackDogWaits's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To chime in on this. I am a pre-nursing student (as in still taking pre reqs to apply to nursing programs) who is thinking longterm about trying to become a CRNA. The closest school to me is VCU and...

  24. What made you decide to go for ASN or BSN?

    PVCCHoo replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community college where I am taking my prereqs has a concurrent program with another state university where students who already hold a bachelor's, can earn their BSN at the same time as the ADN....

  25. UVA RN New Graduate Nurse Residency Program 2013

    PVCCHoo replied to LauraJeanB's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I live in Cville and am a UVA graduate and can attest to the difficulty of getting a job at UVA. I have applied for over 50 jobs there (non nursing) and have never even been given an interview. This...
