  2. Some thoughts on age, personality, and interviews

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

    Hi everyone. I've been working the last two days and with the twelve hour shifts, I can't get to the computer to check responses. Thanks for all your advice and support. To answer your questions, I...

  3. Please help with GRE!

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

    Junglern, First, let me say that you are very courageous! Learning English is hard enough without taking one of the hardest English tests out there. The verbal portion of the GRE is the toughest...

  4. Some thoughts on age, personality, and interviews

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

    In2B8, (by the way...cool sign on name) Thank you for your response. I am happy to learn that a second application is looked at in a favorable light. I would think that it looks good to reapply after...

  5. Some thoughts on age, personality, and interviews

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

    Thanks for your reply. I feel like you understood what I was trying to say. I agree with you about the faking it thing. I try to remain genuine and "in the moment" so that I don't second guess...

  6. I live in the Pac. Northwest, where do I go for my CRNA degree.

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

    If any of you are looking into Westminster, check out their website. You'll have to google it because they are not on the AANA web site yet. They require a year of undergrad physics before you can...

  7. CRNA/SRNA Alternates soundoff

    ICUDOUCME? replied to Sleepy 7's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm the fifth alternate at Newman university in Kansas. They only accept 12 students so It's a looooong shot to get called up when I'm fifth in line. I'm not holding my breath...already sent off two...

  8. I live in the Pac. Northwest, where do I go for my CRNA degree.

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

    Thanks for the encouragement. Can I ask you what Doernbeckers is? And how did you come by the financial info? Anything else you can tell me about the school in general (OHSU)? Do you live in...

  9. I live in the Pac. Northwest, where do I go for my CRNA degree.

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

    I'm going to give it a shot. It's a steep application fee (over $100) but If I get in, I'll have the advantage of being relatively close to home (cheaper plane tickets back and forth) so It'll more...

  10. Waiting...now I know what it feels like!

    ICUDOUCME? posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I've been reading this board for a while now, and seeing what others have gone through, I always thought that I would just forget about waiting for "the letter" and try to think of something else. No...

  11. Waiting...now I know what it feels like!

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

    Personally I only got in to 2 of the 4 schools I applied to. Also, the application process is a pain, but less so when you've already done it once. apaisRN, thanks for the upbeat take on this. Which...

  12. Waiting...now I know what it feels like!

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

    Well the waiting is over. I didn't make it. I did try to visualize getting rejected beforehand and it helped to go through that mental exercise. I can see a few positives about the whole thing...

  13. Kaiser Fall 2006 Students

    ICUDOUCME? replied to ICURN2CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well dudes and dudettes..I didn't make it in to Kaiser this time. I will lick my wounds for awhile and then start my next round of applications. At least the suspense is over and I can get going...

  14. Waiting...now I know what it feels like!

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

    Thanks for the advice. It's good. I saw that a few posters from Calif. on the board have already been sent their letters so I should hear by Tues or Wed at the latest since I'm in

  16. Considering CRNA, I need advice...

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

    Aside from the question about math in a CRNA program...It sounds like you have a math phobia. If you used to be a bookkeeper, then you have basic math down and it doesn't scare you right? But the...

  17. Pre CRNA GPA (I know you've all seen this before)

    ICUDOUCME? replied to joeld311's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My thoughts on this are not based on experience but I have done a lot of research into several programs and I seem to recall that they want recent ICU experience. Some programs specify that you have...

  18. Any Kaiser students out there?

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

    I think I did well. It's hard to say but the odds are not horrible since there were 73-74 interviewed this year with 36 slots available. I will be dissapointed if I don't get in but I know it's not...

  19. Any Kaiser students out there?

    ICUDOUCME? posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi Kaiser students. Can anyone tell me where to live in the Pasadena/LA area that has good freeway access and is more or less centrally located so as to make life easier as a Kaiser student? Are...

  20. Any Kaiser students out there?

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

    Thanks for the response. I am worried that I will find an apartment in exactly the wrong spot for everything. Are there any affordable (800/mo) apartments in

  21. Alternative Loans - here's what I've found

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

    Kind of wondering...If you take out a bunch of loans and then get a cool job offer after you graduate..that offers to pay your loans, aren't you better off than if you had saved and saved and maybe...

  22. Textbooks I highly recommend

    ICUDOUCME? replied to soliant12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for the suggestions. If I make it into a program, I will look them up. Right now I have a book called 100 Anesthesia secrets. I bought it to prepare for interviews since it has a lot of...

  23. Pre CRNA GPA (I know you've all seen this before)

    ICUDOUCME? replied to joeld311's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Dear Joel, If it is any help to you, I have applied to three programs and have been invited to interview at all three schools. I made the alternate list at one of them, I'm waiting to hear if I...

  24. Any USC Grads or Students??

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

    Well, I had my interview on the 9th at Kaiser and I feel good about it. The meet and greet lady in the waiting area was really funny so that helped relax everyone. That was a good idea. There were...

  25. New CRNA Program in Oregon!

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

    RickCRNA, You sound like you are in "the know" so to speak on this program. I plan to apply. Can you tell me how many applications they are expecting? I know they will only be taking 10 for the first...
