    gassy2be replied to ohyeah!21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    We've been debating a similar thought. My tuition will be covered, but I'm not sure about living expenses. My fiancé will continue working but we're used to two incomes. It would be interesting to...

  5. can i really get into crna school

    gassy2be replied to taylor-ccrn-cmc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's unfortunate that your fellow staff isn't supportive, but you will need at least 1 recommendation letter, usually 2, from someone you work with. This person generally needs to hold some type of...

    gassy2be replied to dy3p's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

  8. TCU vs. Baylor

    gassy2be replied to future_ Crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'll take CCRN in April, then I'm done with the requirements! Well, still have to complete my Biochem class, but Baylor is fine with the class still being in progress by time of application. I'm also...

    gassy2be replied to future_ Crna's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  10. Letters of Recommendation From Charge Nurse Instead of Manager

    gassy2be replied to RNDude2012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A lot of schools recognize that many unit directors dislike their staff leaving for additional schooling, and therefore will often accept a letter from a charge nurse instead. It would be best,...

  11. Time off for CRNA school interviews

    gassy2be posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey everyone! I am planning on applying to CRNA school soon and have a little bit of a silly question, but something I'm really curious about. Did you request off the days that you knew the school...

  14. Rosalind CRNA HELP!

    gassy2be replied to LexiCCRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No, I don't know anyone who has gotten in. I'm not from the area, though. I will have been in the CVICU for two years by the time of matriculation. I will (hopefully) have CCRN by the time of...

  16. CRNA Entrance Exams

    gassy2be replied to Lucidlulu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  18. CRNA Entrance Exams

    gassy2be replied to Lucidlulu's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  20. Does your ICU have CNA's?

    gassy2be replied to Rose44's topic in Critical Care

    We don't have any and apparently have had any for years. We have tried to hire some PRN but they hardly get utilized because we're used to doing everything ourselves. I don't mind it; I feel like it...

  21. University of South Carolina CRNA Program

    gassy2be replied to GaMommy81's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I took the GRE last month, 309 & 4.0. Disappointed in my writing, but oh well. Super happy to be done with it though, studying for it was so boring! I'm going to schedule CCRN around April 1, so...
