  1. Baby due after one month after srna program begins

    lady_stic replied to samantha80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with @subee. You asked if you were setting yourself up for failure and though you may successfully complete the program, you may very well "fail" in other areas in your life because it's just...

  2. Baby due after one month after srna program begins

    lady_stic replied to samantha80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It will be hard as heck but almost anything is feasible if you want it bad enough. I don't have any children or a husband and I can't fathom how anyone can go through this program with young children....

  3. CRNA job outlook

    lady_stic replied to wild11's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That's the way it is. I live on the south and a woman I worked with always felt the need to brag about how she's in NP school and will earn a doctorate. This chick was so loud, obnoxious and...

  4. How can I best increase my chances for admission?

    lady_stic replied to kyllae11's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Are you seriously asking this question? With your stats and that kind of experience, you'll get interviews to probably every school you apply to. You should be rock solid after 2 years of experience...

  5. CRNA job outlook

    lady_stic replied to wild11's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not surprised that a huge surplus of NPs are predicted. I get 1,000 emails per day from online programs attempting to recruit NP students. There is absolutely no competition to get accepted into an NP...

  9. Another do I stand a chance thread

    lady_stic replied to RNDude2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That's exactly why I wrote it. The people that get into CRNA school and don't have stellar stats typically won't post in these forums and others inflate their stats. It can be very discouraging when...

  12. Tired of searching for CRNA Interview Questions??

    lady_stic replied to crna2blg's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm a junior at MTSA and I just wanted to clarify a few things. There is never "130-140" at the school at any given time except for maybe graduation. The juniors pretty much have the school to...

  16. MTSA Interview

    lady_stic replied to BabyCatcherCNM1984's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A friend interviewed on thursday and didn't get any medication questions. When I interviewed last year, I was only asked about levophed. When I asked if they wanted to know about the rest, the dean...

  19. Advice from CRNAs out there??

    lady_stic replied to hatchit's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    IndiCRNA, it definitely depends on your location. States like mine, where there are 6-7 NA programs, putting out 50+ students, are becoming very

  20. Why are you a CRNA?

    lady_stic replied to MarynRichter's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm a SRNA and I absolutely LOVE what I will be doing in the future. I honestly couldn't imagine enjoying anything else this much in the medical field! I love the autonomy that CRNAs have. Even at the...

  21. BSN or MSN before CRNA school?

    lady_stic replied to chop222's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Getting a MSN is a waste of time in my opinion. Most programs only allow 2 classes to be transferred anyway. I took Advanced Health Assessment and Advanced Patho and my program didn't accept those...

  22. calling for recent LSU CRNAs

    lady_stic replied to hips's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I accepted a spot at the first school that I was accepted to. I lost my $1,000 deposit because I was accepted to my first choice later on. Of course in the interview, I told the school that I turned...

  23. RN looking to advance in her career!!

    lady_stic replied to Desi1187's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Also, my husband and I both moved out of state to attend CRNA school. Neither of us are working and are living off student loans so it can definitely be done. I'd advise you to save up as much as...

  24. RN looking to advance in her career!!

    lady_stic replied to Desi1187's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My goal before nursing school was to become a CRNA, but I was stuck on a med-surg floor for 2 years. It was difficult to get a job in an ICU in my area so I applied to NP school. I quickly realized...

  25. LSU applicants start in 2015

    lady_stic replied to DeeGeeRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wouldn't worry about it too much. I got an interview shortly after I applied but a friend of mine didn't hear back for several weeks. Some people are accepted on the spot and others are notified...
