  1. TX Wesleyan Clinical Sites

    DFW_RN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello, I have been accepted into TX Wesleyan's CRNA program, as well as two other programs to begin this fall. I consider TX Wesleyan to be my top choice at this time. I am curious if anyone attending...

  2. no CCRN...even worth it to apply?

    DFW_RN replied to RNnomad's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Get your CCRN, shadow a CRNA, and include both of those topics in your admission essay. If your gpa is at least a 3.4, you shouldn't have a problem getting interviews to at least half of the school...

  3. RN to DNP or MSN?

    DFW_RN replied to lexnurse26's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I chose the MSNA route mainly because at this time I do not want to eventually become a professor and I want to make at least $150k an entire year earlier (to get out of student loan

  4. Wolford CRNA Program for Fall 2014

    DFW_RN replied to jaredb63's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What did you think about their interview and the facility? I did not accept their interview offer, after being accepted into two other programs and paying deposits. South FL was very tempting though...

  5. Feeling hopeless about future after only 6 weeks into Nursing school

    DFW_RN replied to YourLocalAsian's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My advice is to stop thinking so much about becoming a CRNA, and start thinking about becoming a great ICU nurse. I have been accepted into two different CRNA programs and throughout nursing school,...

  6. RN to DNP or MSN?

    DFW_RN replied to lexnurse26's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    If you are pursuing a CRNA program, this is how I made my choice, because I was accepted into both a MSNA and DNP-A program. 1) Unless you eventually want to become a professor, there is not any...

  7. GRE scores

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

    Do you have your CCRN? I only scored a 295 on the GRE and was accepted into two out of four programs, waitlisted at one. Not one professor asked about or referenced my GRE score, but in every...

  8. Realistic chances of being accepted into a CRNA program

    DFW_RN replied to RN2486's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Get your CCRN, shadow a CRNA, and include both of those topics in your admission essay. You shouldn't have a problem getting interviews to at least half of the school that you apply to. When I...

  9. New grad ICU RN - advice about CRNA ?

    DFW_RN replied to tigerita's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There is a lot of false information on this thread about what it takes to be accepted into CRNA school. When I applied to four different programs, I had 10 months of ICU and nursing experience at a...

  10. Hospital policy: no letters of recommendation?

    DFW_RN replied to Stratiotes's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Anyone under contract or unable to get a reference letter from their manager should get a reference letter from their supervisor, charge nurse, or both. I have been accepted into three different...

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

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

    I was also waitlisted at UNF, but I'll either be going to UAB or TX Wesleyan. I'm trying to decide between those 2. The faculty at both of those programs seem to be "down to

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

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

    We get them in our CCU which I get floated to once every 3 weeks or so. If they ask, I would say that you have limited experience with them, but you know how to care for a pt with one and you know...

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

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

    I didn't have my CCRN when I applied, but gave them a copy of it during the interviews, which they were happy to see. I agree with UABSleeperSRNA that your paper has a huge effect on getting you an...

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

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

    Congrats on being accepted as well. I also have respect for the PD at UNF (he has a tremendous amount of experience/ credentials) and best of luck to anyone who chooses to attend. How did you feel...

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

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

    UAB, TX Wesleyan, and Murray State- waitlist. When I was at Murray State's (KY) interview, another interviewee had just interviewed at UNF the day before. She warned me about the PD at UNF. Then the...

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

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

    You need 1750 ICU hours (the LTAC hours might count for that, because the website does not specify.) The amount of hours comes out to about 47 weeks of experience. Like lady_stic said, they do random...

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

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

    I interviewed and haven't heard anything. I've been accepted into 2 other programs and I don't think I would go to UNF if I had another choice based on the director of UNF's

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

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

    I work at a 175-bed non-trauma community hospital with 12 ICU beds and have been accepted into 3 CRNA programs after interviewing at 4. I've been an ICU RN for a year now and ICU is all that I have...
