  4. GPA questions

    BeatOU replied to 1CVRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I personally know SRNA's whose GPA's were less than 3.0 and I also know folks whose GRE's were less than 900 and still got in. When you don't have a perfect resume, you just have to apply to more...

  5. Which unit is best? MICU/SICU/CCU

    BeatOU replied to 98.6's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The best adult ICU unit is the biggest one in the biggest hospital in the biggest city you can be hired in, preferrably a county hospital. You will see very sick patients because usually they wait...

  6. Potential Space and Epidurals

    BeatOU posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So my wife goes into labor, gets an epidural, and of course I'm all over watching it being placed. The CRNA was great, showed me how to do it, talked about school with me, and was overall awesome....

  9. Compare & Contrast Please

    BeatOU replied to cynt77's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Great post! In all of my interviews I specifically asked what the "care plans" would be like. The thought of doing stuff that doesn't relate to my practice makes me sick, or should I say make me...

    BeatOU posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    well I have a question about the Postests on the CD from PASS CCRN.. You guys who used it to study for the CCRN, do you remember what scores you were getting before you took the real thing? Right...

  13. Myn in OB

    BeatOU posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Gender issue question ladies and gents, How well received are male CRNA's in the OB realm? It sounds pretty neat to me since I am going to be a proud pop in about a week, and I am curious to see what...

    BeatOU replied to jessicah67's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    dfk, Thanks for your thoughts. If an MDA has had clinical time prior to his anesthesia residency, then I drop my argument completely and without reservations. I thought they graduated med school and...

  17. only 1 year of experience

    BeatOU replied to jessicah67's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    About this one year of experience debate. Why is it all right for an Anesthesiologist to be accepted to medical school without working for X many years as an ICU RN but to be a good CRNA applicant we...

  18. PASS CCRN! question about questions

  19. Advice regarding applying..

    BeatOU replied to Preci0us's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    welcome, I can't speak for columbia's program, but I would advise you taking a look at the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section at the top of the CRNA forum. THis pretty much answers all the...

  20. Mepn to CRNA??

    No, there are some accellerated BSN programs. I agree with Darien, that would be a good way to go. Less headache explaining things in

  21. Mepn to CRNA??

    BeatOU replied to JD_USD's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It would depend how you spun it. If you said you just looked for the fastest route to becoming a CRNA I think you would be fine. I spent a large amount of time in my interview having to explain my...

  22. Mepn to CRNA??

    BeatOU replied to JD_USD's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Ok, i get it. I did the same thing at UT. We called it "Alternate Entry". However, i negotiated with them to get a BSN, instead of getting the masters. And I'll start CRNA school this spring, so...

  23. ICU Skills checklist as part of my resume?

    BeatOU replied to SteveNNP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Steve, I applaud your sense of honor in this situation. I do think this is a major flaw in the CRNA education system, namely, if you want to be a CRNA ASAP, you have to pretty much break Ole Man...

  24. How many of the applicant really meet all of the requirements?

    BeatOU replied to troyb's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I really think it depends on what school you are talking about. Some schools, I hear, get like 800 applicants (don't hold me to that, I've not verified that), while some schools get less than 50...

  25. Goal to become Nurse Anesthetist

    BeatOU replied to mrod's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Sounds like a good plan. My only comment would be that if you really want to be a CRNA, why just choose one school, especially one that is really competitive to get into? there are 90 some odd...
