WhiffOfGas

I feel compelled to share my experience over the last 48hrs as a post of hope for those who are in the midst of their wait, or who are about to take boards. On 12/28/16 I took NCLEX. Awful is an understatement. I received 110 questions, and virtuall...

Throwing in my two cents of observation because I'm interested in the responses too: The CRNA phone is the one we call when we need a central line in the unit (20bed) -and that's fairly often. When I worked as a PACU tech, a lot of the patients had P...

Friend of mine just texted that she received a letter... Sounds like some of us might be finding out today!!!

KL emailed me the info after I asked her advice last semester on ways to increase my chances in the future; she told me to take Micro and and Art Appreciation over the summer, gave me some feedback on my transcript, and sent me the changes as sort of...

Yes! It's changing a lot! The focus is moving primarily to the TEAS (it'll be something like: score 83-86 on your composite score and get 8 points, 87-89 you get 11 points , and 90-95 is 15 points). That's an example. There's a few other things (like...

Maybe this will help explain: I was told, when applications were first turned in, that they wouldn't be getting to them until the first week or two into fall semester (which would be about now). She said something about changing buildings and offices...

Did you know you wanted to practice anesthesia before nursing school? I'm curious to hear where each of you were on the nursing path (or the path of Life) when you decided: I want to practice the art of anesthesia.

Hopefully everyone's having a good start to their semester! I'm now VERY ready (though, I've been very ready) to get a packet/letter in the mail! I just thought I'd throw that out there; patience certainly isn't my strong suit.

I love that you shared this!!!!! It helps knowing a more narrow range than "six weeks"!

Haha! Well, thank you! I concur: hopefully, in a few short weeks, we'll be getting those packets (and NOT letters )! Don't sweat not coming to WCWC for Nutrition. I've had a number of classmates who've taken Ibe, and they swear he's a genius. It sou...

This coming semester looks like history and government exploded onto my schedule; I am taking every history I need (1302, 2306, and I'm retaking 2305 for a better grade --I took it online the first time which turned out to be a mistake, and it jacked...

Haha! Too funny! It sounds like you have the Discovery Channel LIVE at your house LOL! It's interesting, to me, that even though you explored teaching, you're still pursuing a career field where you're influencing others --which I find quite powerfu...

Firstly, don't take it personal, I think that's partly just KL's nature. At first, I kind of thought the same thing. But I've had interactions with her about the program since I enrolled as a student at WC, so I've been driving her crazy for a while ...

I'm sure there have been at least a few more. I was at the WCWC testing center retaking my TEAS yesterday, and they said they had been "swamped" with students taking TEAS all this week --although, to note, WCWC is a smaller campus so one can only gue...

Amen!! You can do this!! In my opinion, so much of it comes down to dedication and tenacity! If you want it bad enough, you can do it!! Good for you! Kudos!!! Your post makes my morning -keep after it!

I typically just read this forum and absorb like a sponge rather than posting. However, after reading this conversation, I thought I’d throw in my two cents: I agree with the previous posters Mully and SoniaReb: Go with your passion! Honestly, I thin...

Thank you all for participating!! It's cool to look at the results, and see where everyone was when they decided to pursue anesthesia! After meeting several anesthesiologists who became doctors to practice anesthesia, I was curious to know how many n...

Take a breath. You've just finished one of the hardest things you've ever done in your life: CRNA school. Now what? There have been a couple threads posted on here about this subject, but I thought that I would ask directly, in a central thread, and ...

Thanks for the responses and votes! I've been curious to know what others would say for quite a while, but only just decided to ask here. I've met a couple doctors who became doctors to practice anesthesia and I was wondering about CRNAs going to nur...

I'm not sure. They're more of classmates than actual friends. The guy in my math class said 33 and the girl in chem was on the lower end with 19 points. Everything happens for a reason... Probably doesn't make it better, but one day (at least) you'...

Yeh, I was so speechless, I didn't even know what to say. And I must be a bad friend because now, sitting here at work, I'm now robotically checking patients in and thinking about my mailbox and hoping my partner is at home stalking the mail lady; it...

Well, one letter has gone out. A friend text this morning saying a letter that came in today saying she did not get accepted to either campus. She says she had 32 points. While this was bad news for her, hopefully it means that we'll be hearing any t...

Yes, I concur. It's hard to concentrate or think of anything else, actually. I hear through the grapevine that this upcoming week (7th-11th) is probably the most likely time to be getting packets/letters in the mail; I hear the beginning of the follo...

I received the following response word for word: You will typically hear something around 6-8wks after the deadline. Thanks, KL Student Services answer of "Around the 11th" was a little more helpful LOL!

I emailed her today... I succumbed to being THAT guy. I apologized for being annoying (it's the first time I've emailed her on this, but still) and asked if she had an estimate on when we could expect to hear something. I was tempted to ask about ave...
