    A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

    Defibn' replied to RN_2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Most schools simply are not waiting until the last minute to institute the doctorate program. It is the new standard for graduating anesthetists so you may as well get on board. Many people have...

    A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

    Defibn' replied to RN_2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Think hard about if you really want this. If you have a negative attitude about anesthesia school before you start you’ll have a hard time making it

    Budgets, Loans, Scholarships - Oh my.

    Defibn' replied to brookalyn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    1) I'm only one month in so I don't have a lot for you here. My biggest suggestion is to have some financial security before starting school. How much is ultimately up to you. It depends on if you...

    5 Year Plan?

    Defibn' replied to kleeschr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I interviewed at three places and didn't get asked this. Honestly, that's a hard question to answer. At this point you don't know what kind of anesthesia you want to practice or in which type of...

    Letter of Recommendations

    Defibn' replied to scubaRN1018's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    1) This is difficult. It really depends on your manager. Are they receptive? I would think waiting until you have given the unit a year after orientation is probably a conservatively appropriate...

    Can level 1 trauma IMCU/SICU Step-down experience get you into CRNA school?

    Defibn' replied to nursingsprettycool17's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not that it is impossible, it would just be hard. The last thing you want is to go into an interview and have to justify your experience. The interview panel is much more likely to make you sweat...

    CRNA school application help

    Defibn' replied to asd asd's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Wow. It sounds like you are very motivated. The only thing I can think of that would prevent you from getting interviews is the aesthetics of your application. Maybe your resume or personal statement...

    Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    Defibn' replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    1) The patient is fine 2) It doesn't seem like you did anything wrong 3) Your charge nurse sucks 4) You do not have to put up with a family member yelling at you 5) Stop worrying about it. You handled...

    CRNA school with kids

    Defibn' replied to Djmoulin's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm going to be frank with you. It would be very, very hard if your husband is not home. The logistics just don't work out. You simply cannot miss class/clinicals unless it is a major emergency. 4...

    Defibn' replied to chris21sn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A lot of people will tell you not to read anything. I, however, am glad that I read up on some stuff and wish I would have more. You certainly don't have to. But I totally understand wanting to. I...

    GRE

    Defibn' replied to Nurse428's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah. I would take the whole thing. You'll probably score better even with minimal studying. Schools just say stuff sometimes - I'll leave it at

    ABSN vs TBSN matter to CRNA schools?

    Defibn' replied to VEducated's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ABSN = done with nursing school faster = faster start to ICU experience = faster route to anesthesia

    Sure. I'm from OK too. I hope it works out. I just remember when they started the talks some years ago. I got my hopes and then kept getting let down. I'm at an out of state school now. I encourage...

    Transferring ICUs for better experience?

    Defibn' replied to mph53953's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don’t feel bad for looking out for yourself. Your ICU will be fine without you. You have the right mindset and I respect that you want to do the right thing. I know it’s hard to leave a...
