  1. Is it possible to accept two positions. One as an SICU nurse and the other as an ER nurse?

    CCRNCMC11 replied to OnlyHim's topic in Nursing Career

    I did that as a new grad. I worked ft in icu and prn in ER at two different hospitals. Granted, I worked as a tech in an icu during school, I did 3 months of clinicals in the ER prior to graduating,...

    @ICUNole Your stats look great! Don't forget to shadow a crna if you haven't already. Also, if you can, I would suggest taking another chem besides chem 1. For example, I took an intro to organic Chem...

  4. CRNA hours / environment

    CCRNCMC11 replied to Amber_H213's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well you know that you have to get your BSN first, work in the ICU for minimum one year and usually the average incoming student has three years of experience. Not to mention all the other hoops to...

    General, organic, and biochemistry by Katherine denniston. I believe last semester they used 8th edition. And for anyone talking it this fall, providing he uses the same book, get the study guide book...

    There's no way to get a syllabus this early. I can tell you that the fall semester starts around August 24th and last year the classes (Chem and professional aspects) were on Wednesdays once a week....

    CCRNCMC11 replied to RNKay's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Exactly. The head start classes are scheduled just as they are if you took them in the program. There are live lectures and exams. There really isn't any working ahead at your own pace. If anyone is...

  9. Any CRNAs who spent majority of their previous career as OR nurses?

    CCRNCMC11 replied to ChristineAdrianaRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm in school now and I've had a couple of scrub techs and circulators ask me that same question. As long as you have ICU experience it will not hurt you to have OR experience. You'll be better...

    It doesn't limit your chances. You are accepted and then during your interview you rank the clinical sites you want to be at. Then sometime in December they place you in one. Generally orlando, Tampa,...

  11. can i really get into crna school

    CCRNCMC11 replied to taylor-ccrn-cmc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CCRNCMC11 replied to robyncaroline's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Save as much as you can before you start! Also, don't plan on working at all, you will not have any time. Plan on taking out a lot of loans. Hopefully you have a spouse that works but if not then it's...

  14. Letters of Recommendation From Charge Nurse Instead of Manager

    CCRNCMC11 replied to RNDude2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Depends on the school. I didn't get one from my manager because I didn't want to announce I was leaving, so I got one from my preceptor. Usually as long as it's someone in a supervisory role of some...

    CCRNCMC11 replied to TraumaICU_001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Extra science courses like organic and biochem really look good on your resume. A good GPA helps as well. Really study for that GRE. They prefer your scores to be at least the 40th percentile which is...
