    All Transcripts When Applying?

    Defibn' replied to meg0620's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    They want every single one. It should go without saying, but if you are trying to hide a class that you attempted but dropped or something, they will find out and you will have just lost your chance...

    Certifications vs graduate classes for crna programs?

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

    If you are choosing between the two I would pick the grad classes. We all know that certs from something like that site are probably easier and will mean less. If you want additional certs get...

    Nagelhout & Guyton

    Defibn' posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Is anyone aware of test banks or quizzes for Nagelhout’s “Nurse Anesthesia” or Guyton’s “Medical Physiology?” I’m wanting to quiz myself as we go along next semester to aid with focused...

    MUSC CRNA 2020

    Defibn' replied to 1CuteRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Word of warning to potential applicants: apply early. Their admissions office is slow to get paperwork over to the program. I applied either on the deadline or the day before. I didn’t get any...

    ICU jobs

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

    So are you already certified as an acute care NP and can practice as one? Is the AACN test just another piece of paper? If you are already licensed and legal to practice as an ACNP I wouldn't take the...

    Advice on Strategies to Pass Med Surg from Students Who've Been There Before

    Defibn' replied to bob bib's topic in General Students

    I don't think you should be reading the textbooks more than once. You can use it as a reference to firm up some understanding after that. But, passively rereading page by page does nothing for you...

    MTSA Advanced Physiologic Foundations Class for possible CRNA application

    Realistic Goal?

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

    That all depends. If you took intro to chem and got a C, that will look real bad to an ADCOM. So you may want to take more undergrad chemistry and get A's. If you're going to take graduate classes, I...

    ICU jobs

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

    I wouldn't think you should have any problem getting in an ICU where you currently live. Some units will require that you have some medsurg experience first but they may wave that since you're an NP....

    Thank you for making this thread. I start anesthesia school next month. What study methods do you know of that have been the most effective. In the past, my method has been to read all assigned...

    MTSA DNP Program 2020

    Good on you for taking physics! Get an A. It will look good! Also, start studying for the GRE. It sucks

    MTSA DNP Program 2020

    Defibn' replied to Shanneliz SRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It doesn't hurt to apply. If they don't offer you an interview, you're only out like 100 bucks. I think that a GPA of 3.3 is fine to get an interview. It's not a "competitive" GPA but I wouldn't...

    MTSA DNP Program 2020

    Defibn' replied to Shanneliz SRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was accepted. Interview was not bad. They did ask me one unit specific question and then had some follow up questions after my answer. They did not try and break me down some I have heard some...

    Life after CRNA school dismissal/withdrawal

    Defibn' replied to aeron0228's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I’m only just about to start school in January so take my advice for what it’s worth. If your school sucks, just get through it. You’ll be an anesthetist at the end. You can tell them to kiss...

    ICU experience for CRNA school

    Defibn' replied to Micu 2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wouldn’t worry about changes positions at this point. Apply and see what they say. There’s no magical thing about a balloon pump. A solid understanding of physiology, pharmacology and...

    What lending did you use for school?

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

    I think I’m going to use the direct unsubsidized and the the discover health loan on top of it. The plus loan origination fees and interest rates are too

    What lending did you use for school?

    Defibn' posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am weighing the pros and cons of Grad PLUS vs Private lenders for school starting in January. Any insight from those of you that have been there is appreciated. The origination fee (4.236%) and...

    ER nurse or OR nurse?

    Defibn' replied to Reaz's topic in General Specialties

    If you know CRNA is what you want to do then grinding out a couple years in ICU should be doable. Focus on the end goal. In my opinion, OR experience doesn’t really prepare you for anything other...

    Unique Educational Situation: Do I Stand A Chance?

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

    Thank you! Honestly, I don’t know how I would broach the subject. I recommend starting by calling the admission coordinator/recruiter at a few programs that you would like to go to and see what they...
