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

    @cvicurn25, just so you know the deadline has passed for spring 2015. They might still accept you if your stats are good but you would be at the bottom of the stack and you wouldn't get your top...

  2. What is the most overtime you've ever worked

    CCRNCMC11 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    The most OT I've worked is 17 twelve hour shifts on a row. And probably about 4 of those were 16 hour shifts. And I did it because the hospital let us stack our ot and pool pay so the ot days were...

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

    The way it works is that, at the interview, you pick your top 2 preferred locations and they try to match you to your top choice. The sites are south Florida (Hollywood), west palm, Tampa, Orlando,...

  10. Are swan-ganz (PAC) still around in your area?

    CCRNCMC11 replied to ninis's topic in Critical Care

    Every patient in CVICU has one. When I worked ccu I had 1 in 2 years there. Essential for hearts but risks typically outweigh benefits for other patients. Cvp and urine output as well as basic...

  11. Accepted with NICU exp. rather ICU?

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

    I have a friend that started off in Nicu but then switched into adult icu for a year. Most schools prefer if not require adult icu. However, it can't hurt to have both populations under your belt, and...

  16. Failing high school Pre-Calc... can I still be a nurse?

    CCRNCMC11 replied to Jack C's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Once you get into college no one will ever look or even ask about your high school transcript ever again. Good news for CRNA preparation is that you don't need calculus. What you NEED to do now is...

    100k+ worth of debt? This seems outrageous! Is everyone using loans to pay living expenses as well? Props to you guys! I'm lucky enough to be married to an NP, so with my sugar momma I hope to only be...

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

    I think now would be early. The deadline is may I think. Anyone who has applied heard from Barry? Interviews or at least an email? I still have to write the understanding of the role of the CRNA. What...

  24. BS Chem to CRNA?

    CCRNCMC11 replied to travx27's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not all programs require a BSN but it will be a lot easier to get in if you have one. Look into an online BSN program that you can complete while you are working in an ICU. And try for a 4.0 or as...
