  1. newbie charting

    ICUDOUCME? replied to alumno's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I also have trouble with this until I get used to the new clinical site that I'm at. I try to look at the cases the night before, get the paperwork together for each pt and fill in names, dates, plan...

  3. Am I the only one??

    ICUDOUCME? replied to fungirl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am in clinical full time w/ online classwork and exams throughout. The hardest part for me is being away from home (distant clinical site). If I could be home most nights of the week and have that...

  5. Westminster?

    ICUDOUCME? replied to ICUdropout's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, American Fork is in Utah county, and the two sites in Ogden are out of Salt Lake county. The commute is pretty bad depending on what time of day it is. Rush hour on Utah freeways is horrific....

    ICUDOUCME? replied to ICUdropout's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey ICUdropout, Welcome to Westminster! I am in the first class. I am in the middle of my clinical rotations and I have been to two sites so far. Some of our class have been to just one site doing...

  7. BS to RN to CRNA...more difficult than I thought?

    ICUDOUCME? replied to smf5083's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Shaun, Hi. I mean no disrespect at all but I see a fundamental contradiction in your post. I don't see why you want to finish a degree in a major that won't get you any closer to your RN, why not...

  8. What went wrong????

    ICUDOUCME? replied to heartrn35's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I feel for you. My first interview experiences did not go well and it was because I didn't trust myself to let myself be me. Does that make sense? I thought I had to wow them or something. But after I...

  9. Oregon Health and Science University??

    ICUDOUCME? replied to lovegasRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey guys, Well, all I know is that they just accepted their first class in Fall of '06. So I imagine that they have accepted another class this last Fall. There were 10 or so in the first class with...

  11. Good Reasons to Become a CRNA

    ICUDOUCME? replied to FockerRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Here's how I came to my own reasons and put them into some kind of order in my brain. I started talking out loud whenever I was alone, (in the car, in the shower) trying to explain to myself verbally...

  12. Any last minute tips for interview at Kaiser???

    ICUDOUCME? replied to MmmQuiznos's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I interviewed there in '06. I didn't make it in. The following are some ideas that I think might have helped me. They will take you into a holding area. A woman will be there talking to you all and...

  13. Thoughts all the time...

    ICUDOUCME? replied to APNgonnabe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well, my perspective is that you do it until you feel it. Feelings do not always come before the action. Sometimes you have to put yourself in the situation before you get the burning desire. I have...

  14. Anyone interviewed at Newman University CRNA program.

    ICUDOUCME? replied to BSN14John's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, I interviewed there in 2006. It was a panel interview with about 7 or 8 people. There were faculty CRNAs and administration from the nursing school, and an anesthesiologist that I think ran the...

    ICUDOUCME? posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This post is an attempt to understand myself a little better so please indulge if you can. I applied to three schools for this Fall and went to two interviews. Both interviews went o.k. from my...

    ICUDOUCME? replied to ICUDOUCME?'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    mmc, Wow, too weird. I haven't even looked at this board for about 9 months and there is an old thread that I wrote sitting on the front page. Congrats on getting an interview at Westminster. It is...

    ICUDOUCME? posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi again! I have been incommunicado for a few weeks trying to sort through various challenges this summer. I wanted to let the people that are going to Wolford this Fall know that I will not be...

  18. Westminster in Salt Lake City

    ICUDOUCME? replied to ICUDOUCME?'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congrats on the interview. That's a really good sign since they only bring in a few more than they are going to accept. I loved Naples too. It was beautiful when we went. You'll see what I mean...

  21. How?

    ICUDOUCME? replied to Hawaii2LasVegas's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You move. No, seriously. You need to read the FAQ section at the top of the forum page here. It will answer all these How, When, Where, and Why questions. Also, post on the pre-CRNA forum, not this...

  23. Second time around

    ICUDOUCME? replied to millkay's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Millkay, Keep on trying. Those first interviews will set you up well for the ones to follow. At least you got to the interview phase! That's really encouraging. I felt like I bombed my first few...

    ICUDOUCME? replied to MmacFN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Congrats! I knew you couldn't not get in..that's a double negative...oh well. You already seem so smart about all this stuff that it shouldn't be too big a stretch for you. I sent away for a couple...

  25. Wolford College Anyone??

    ICUDOUCME? replied to SRNAtobe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi SRNAtobe, I'll be attending Wolford this Fall. I am coming from Idaho so I'll be a long way from home. How about you? I will be moving down there mid-Sept to find an apartment and get ready for...
