run like hell from this school

I am about to start clinicals. Was just wondering from some other students that are in clinicals if you could answer this question (in hopes that I wont look stupid on my first day). What do you wish you would have known on your first day of clinica...

I've seen lots of post regarding MSU and their CRNA program. Everyone has an opinion. My best advise to anyone that is going to sink 6 figures and several years of their life into a program would be to get the facts. See the link below for actual num...

Do you want to go to a program with a 77% pass rate?

Dont go to MSU. For those in the program it is hell. Not because of the studys or work...because of the actual program and chaos. See link http://crnaprogram.mountainstate.edu/

I regret the day that I applied to Mountain State. Honestly, consider other programs. MSU has a ton of problems...and they all slide down hill to the student. You would not believe the things that are going on unless you were actually in the program....

I want to defend the comment in regards to how good can you be? This program is NOT AN ONLINE PROGRAM. You will be there more than once every 3 weeks. You must publish a thesis. You must study your butt off to make it through...and it isnt getting ea...

Greetings to all. I am in search of anyone that may have graduated from a crna program whose past director is the current director of MSU??? Anyone out there? I'd like to know more about this program. I see some past forums but nothing important. Any...

As an ICU nurse at a level 1 trauma...it is of the utmost importance for all prospective srna's to go to ICU....You don't know how much you haven't learned until you go! You will be better prepared for CRNA school.

Have you looked into Moutain State University??? It is in Beckley WV and you can live where you are now. I understand about family friendly programs...which is why I am starting with MSU in Jan ....I was actually told in one interview that should I...

I have kept my secret to myself...just because I knew there would be a big change in how my co-workers treated me....its a small fact that lots of nurses seek out ICU because they have future plans....just as I did....however, make no mistake the wor...

Greetings. I don't post a lot but did want to share that I was accepted into Mountain States program for January...anyone else? I live here in WV so it will be great for me. Just wandering where everyones going. Love this site...very helpful.

I work at CAMC and yes they are changing their program..the word on campus is that it is going to be much longer...phD...GRE score is now 950.

I actually moved here to WV so I could go to CRNA school. I am impressed with MSU's program and am willing to take a chance on the "newness" because for one they are certified by the AANA and the instructors all have long professions with tons of exp...

I am not a new grad and have just entered ICU..feel like I have just started all over again. My game plan? I come home and read-read-read. Get a good but thin Critical care book and show them who is who. I have been eaten..even if I didn't give repor...

Seen an early episode of CSI where a woman drank her own urine...fresh! EWWW...it was for aging. Crazy

I totally agree with you....I've often said that if you are in a store and your hubby falls over....you see a lady in scrubs you think! Nurse! Not so this could be the cleannig lady! I've busted my butt to get through school and have earned the right...

Well, I have met nice people and mean people. I am finishing my BSN and applying in May for CRNA school. I am very lucky in that I found an MDA that loves to teach....my clinicals have become an internship...so I guess it depends on the person you ar...

Best of luck to you in whatever you do. I am very lucky in that I am doing a long term rotation with an MDA....long story but I beat the bushes and found someone that would take me as a student. My willingness to come to the OR 2 days a week and stay...

Just wondering how many SRNA's tjere are out there that got to do a clinical in the OR with a CRNA? And if you did...was it helpful during the application process and also now while you are in school? Have a nice day:) Ivy.

Will keep my head low in school...I'm just so blessed and excited to get this type of instruction and teaching before I ever go! I mean how many students/nurses ever really get to do this stuff before they go to school? I'd say not many...I'll just l...

I'm not in a progressive program...I'm just a hussler trying to go to CRNA school and I find a way to jump through the hoop to benefit myself...it never hurts to ask....or beg if it gets you what and where you want....everyone else is doing health de...

would love it and appreciate if you would post what you find...I lived in Asheville for 3 yrs...wonderful place to live...loved it and would move back in a minute... kind regards ivy

I'm actually doing 120 hours with the CRNA & MD...wonderful teachers...I will never be able to repay them for all the info and education they are giving me. I've already learned how to intubate! I get to do this a lot. Yikes and also how to bag/m...

I was wondering how heavily ER vs ICU is weighed when applying to CRNA school? How many NA students where ER nurses? I live an hour from a 300 bed hospital and was working part time in ICU as a float....even though I work full time...the rest spent i...
