Also, taking classes won't help as far as preparation for anesthesia school in my opinion. It is like learning a new language and KPSA has a very specific way they teach the information.

I didn't take any classes. I don't think it's worth it to retake classes unless you are below the 3.2 minimum. I know people with lower GPAs that got through. By lower I mean 3.4-3.5. It's not everything, they care about personality a lot and want pe...

Hi, I was wondering what other SRNAs are doing right now in their programs for clinical. We have been off clinical since mid-March and will most likely not return until June earliest. Are there elective cases being done at your clinical sites? Those ...

@skippybeatz Clinicals are mostly at Kaiser facilities and those are all over. For peds and regional rotations, you will go to outside facilities. I was also sent to a non-kaiser facility for OB.

Hi @skippybeatz I currently go to KPSA. It's a great program, the faculty are very knowledgeable and give you the information you need to pass boards. I have heard that other programs teach you a lot of fluff, but KPSA has a 100% NCE pass rate. They ...

Thanks @loveanesthesia , you are so right in saying that my routine got me off track. I definitely need to take a step back and reassess the situation to determine if what I am about to do makes sense. I won't dwell, but I will try use this experienc...

I'm a first year SRNA in my second clinical rotation. Today was kind of busy, 3 MAC cases before 11 am. My 4th case was a general with an LMA. I knew we weren't going to tube the patient, but I still drew up Roc for the case. During induction, I push...

Just got the call from Sandra that a spot opened up! So happy! Other alternate list people check your e-mail!!!

Congrats guys!!! I was placed on the alternate list, but thankfully have been accepted into a different program.

Good luck @Hearts_ICURNBSN!

Hey guys! I feel like the instructions for the writing portion of the interview are pretty vague. Are we to come up with a program/solution to the issue presented in the abstract? Or is it more addressing the abstract issue with an idea for a study?...

Congrats!í ¼í¾Š

Hey guys! I just got the call from Dr. Canale and she is recommending for admittance! So excited and can't wait!!!

Hey everyone! I received a confirmation e-mail yesterday from Jennifer saying my transcripts have been confirmed.

Now with the 3 year program, does anyone know how many classes we will be taking on campus at CSUF? I don't recall seeing a curriculum list in the app.

I have e-mailed and called Christine Litzinger, no replies yet. I guess I will have to keep waiting, not sure if this is a good or bad thing!

Hi! I have heard the interview is 3 parts; An individual interview with faculty, group interview, and a mock code test. Not sure if they are changing things around this year as the program has changed a bit. I live in Echo Park :)

I just got the e-mail for my interview! I am so excited and nervous!!

Hi guys! Everyone seems like such strong applicants, congrats on taking the first step and applying! I hope they get back to us before the holidays for scheduling interviews. Good luck everyone!

Hi, They are still interviewing people, mine is January 4. I'm not sure if they wait until everyone is interviewed or send out acceptances before. Good Luck!

Hi! I applied for 2018 and just had my interview last Monday! It seems like a great program and the current students I met are enjoying it. The said they would send out acceptances/denials sometime in December or January. :)

I was told at my eye exam that I have Keratoconus. After further research, I have discovered that it is currently a medical disqualification ineligible for a waiver. I am pretty bummed, but everything happens for a reason. Good luck to everyone, you ...

Yes, I have to get an additional eye exam tomorrow and once that is done my recruiter will hopefully submit my package right on time for Oct. 1! And yea I live in Newport Beach, what about you :)?

I just had a phone interview with a Navy Nurse last Saturday. She was extremely nice and helpful. She offered me a ton of information and insight as to what Navy nursing is all about. She asked me questions based on topics like physical fitness, how ...

Hi! This is my first post on here so bear with me. I have many questions regarding Navy Nursing. I just got my physical done today and am almost ready to submit my package to the boards in October. My results were good and am fit for active duty. I s...
