  1. eWhich Critical Care Setting for CRNA?

    lady_stic replied to NewGrad14's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with Esme12. You will get a much broader experience in the MICU/SICU and it would be beneficial to you as far as advancing your skills, expanding your knowledge base and preparing you for CRNA...

  2. My journey to become a SRNA.

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

    Where are you located? I agree, especially with my minimal ICU experience. The odds were totally against me. Like I said, I was diligent about applying to schools that I felt I had a shot at. People...

  3. Does CRRT adds value to your resume for CRNA school?

    lady_stic replied to icu2crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You definitely wont be "disqualified" due to your lack of experience with CCRT. However, like Alpha said, it definitely adds to your application. It won't make or break you

  4. CRNA Hopeful: Should I stay in the Neuro ICU or move to the SICU?

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

    I think you made a good decision. After having gone through 6 applications, I've realized that programs don't put as much emphasis on the type of ICU you've worked in as I was led to believe. As long...

  5. Grades

    lady_stic replied to nickster10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I completely agree with what you've said, but as a recent applicant, I can empathize with the wannabe SRNAs. I couldn't begin to tell you how many times I've read the same threads over and over again,...

  6. GRE scores

    lady_stic replied to icu_rn88's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've heard a few PDs say the contrary and that there is a positive correlation between GRE scores and a SRNA's academic

  7. GRE scores

    lady_stic replied to icu_rn88's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Wow. That's fantastic. I believe that you have a great shot at getting into Drexel. You'll definitely get an interview, so it will be up to you to nail it. Good

  8. Wollford College

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

    FIU and UNF definitely doesn't recognize Wolford's degree because they told me so during my

  9. How do my chances look?

    lady_stic replied to rnrn10's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your stats are close to mine. I applied and interviewed at 6 schools, accepted at 2, alternate at one, denied at two and waiting to hear from the other. Granted, my interview skills aren't that great....

  10. Recent UNF CRNA interviewees, who's heard back?

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

    They were really nice and I was definitely impressed with the interview (OLOL). I really liked that they only accepted 25 students. I will be attending MTSA, however. Despite the large class size,...

  11. Recent UNF CRNA interviewees, who's heard back?

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

    I'm not surprised that they went through the entire alternate list. After the guy insulted my friend in front of a panel of 15 people and told her there's no way she's get in, he later called her and...

  12. Recent UNF CRNA interviewees, who's heard back?

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

    Congrats! UAB is extremely competitive. I got into OLOL in Baton Rouge and MTSA. I had a similar experience. I interviewed at UNF on Saturday and had to be in TN on Monday. I'm just glad it's finally...

  13. No trauma or large hospital experience, what are my chances?

    lady_stic replied to icu_rn88's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I took my CCRN 9 months of being in the ICU, this past July. I'm not sure where you got your information. It's based on a certain amount of hours, which is the equivalent of one year full-time. The...

  14. Recent UNF CRNA interviewees, who's heard back?

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

    Lol. Interesting that you mentioned the director @DFW. After I left the interview I told myself that I wouldn't attend if accepted (wasn't accepted) because of the PD. My friend got in and he won't be...

  15. Recent UNF CRNA interviewees, who's heard back?

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

    I had one friend that heard back on Sunday and another on Monday. I haven't heard anything so I'll take that as a hint. Good

  16. Anybody apply to Chattanooga Tennessee's CRNA program?

    lady_stic replied to ICURN2014's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Anyone heard anything from UTC

  17. Has anybody got into CRNA school with a GPA under 3.00?

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

    Well I was assuming that I didn't get in. I'm not sure if they sent out all the acceptance e-mails on Wednesday. I applied to UNF, LSU etc. Thanks.

  18. Has anybody got into CRNA school with a GPA under 3.00?

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

    I interviewed on Nov 23 as well. I'm pretty sure I blew it. I was so nervous. My friend interviewed on the first day and he heard back on Wednesday. Good luck to you. Did you apply

  19. Has anybody got into CRNA school with a GPA under 3.00?

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

    This is not true. My friend's GPA is was below a 3.0 and he received interviews to 6/7

  20. Has anybody got into CRNA school with a GPA under 3.00?

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

    My friend just got into Wolford and FIU. Cum GPA was 2.9 and last 60hrs was 3.4. He got his CCRN, and aced Stats and Chemistry recently. Anyone can get into Wolford. FIU is a pretty good school. He...

  21. NICU/ CRNA

    lady_stic replied to Robins19's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would recommend that you get Adult ICU experience because most schools require

  22. Move out of state for ICU experience?

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

    I worked on a med-surg floor for TWO years all while attempting to start in an ICU in my area. They wouldn't even allow me to work in the ICU at the hospital I worked and it was like a level III. A...

  23. Anyone interviewing for TWU or LSUHSC for Class of 2016/2017?

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

    I was told by someone that was accepted on Oct 8th that the interview was more of a "get to know you" type interview. They ask about the kind of ICU that you work in and your experience there. They...
