   ICURN1980 posted a topic in SRNA

   Hey guys, just wanted to ask if there are any recent (within the last 2-3 years) that have interviewed @ Gonzaga. Finishing up my application and hoping for an interview in October, I feel like I look pretty good on paper and just wanted to be as pr...

2. What are my chances of getting accepted?

   ICURN1980 replied to ICURN1980's topic in SRNA

   Hey that's awesome to hear. I think I might be a little paranoid about the whole thing. One of my co-workers who I've talked (who is currently in ACNP school) has told me that he has no doubt that I'll do just fine. He has about 7 years of ICU exp...

3. What are my chances of getting accepted?

   ICURN1980 replied to ICURN1980's topic in SRNA

   That's great advice, I appreciate the response. I guess my main concern is not really my level of knowledge and experience in relation to everyone else in my class, it is more the fact that I am well aware that there is a certain level of knowledge ...

   Hey, thanks man that's good to know. I have heard from several people that I will be taught what I need to know in anesthesia school, but I just worry that I will be in class with others who are more prepared than myself and somehow my experience wi...

   Hey guys, I know this topic has been posted several times, but I'm just curious about what my odds are of getting accepted and some of the concerns I have regarding my current level of ICU experience. Some stats about me: GPA: Overall 3.6, science ...

6. Mistakes in the ICU

   ICURN1980 replied to ICURN1980's topic in Critical

   Dah Doh – I think you may be right. I really don’t think they are being too critical and they are absolutely helping me learn, although sometimes I guess I just get frustrated that I am not yet at their level and so maybe I unjustly interpret their ...

7. Mistakes in the ICU

   ICURN1980 posted a topic in Critical

   Hey guys, I've been doing a nurse residency program in the ICU for the last few months. It has been a combination of general nursing orientation classes, critical care classes, and days on the unit orienting. Overall, in the last 5 months I have ha...

8. New grad in ICU, feeling discouraged. Advice?

   ICURN1980 replied to ICURN1980's topic in Critical

   Thanks, that helps to hear it from someone who had to "relearn" a lot of stuff going into the ICU. That's one of the main reasons I love the ICU: I learn so much each and every day! Rounds are amazing...sometimes if the MD goes off on a tangent wi...

9. New grad in ICU, feeling discouraged. Advice?

   ICURN1980 replied to ICURN1980's topic in Critical

   Hey firstlight, Yeahhh I know I should stop all the negative thinking. I honestly felt like things were going well (at least given my lack of experience) but it was a major bummer hearing otherwise from my preceptors. One of my preceptors has 9 yea...

10. New grad in ICU, feeling discouraged. Advice?

    ICURN1980 posted a topic in Critical

    Hey everyone, I just wanted to vent a little bit and maybe get some words of wisdom. I know I am not the first to feel this way, nor do I think this isn't a normal feeling to have being a new grad (especially in the ICU). I graduated over a year ...
