  2. Getting "points back" on a test

    ckh23 replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

    You might suggest statistical analysis to your teacher. I'm in grad school now and that is how they determine if extra points will be awarded or if certain questions will be thrown out. However, that...

  8. Air Force

    ckh23 replied to bradleyclose's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I think they are pretty similar. The Army HPSP pays tuition, books, and a stipend of $2100/month in return for 3 years active duty when you're done. The navy also offers HPSP as well. Just keep in...

  10. Apply now or later?

    ckh23 replied to AA012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  12. Better ICU experience for CRNA school

    ckh23 replied to runningbull's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CTICU is not the end all be all. Some schools may have a preference, but in reality sick patients are sick patients. In my class the CTICU nurses are about a 1/4 if the class with the majority coming...

    ckh23 replied to muesli's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A classmate of mine did, but he worked at a level 1 trauma center and also did critical care transport. The experience is going to be program specific, but I believe the majority only except

  16. Asked to break the law

    ckh23 replied to maxxilla's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, with a surgeon or Anesthesiologist, it doesn't have to be an Anesthesiologist. The "independent" states are just the opt out states. Again this is all has to do with billing and not actual...
