  1. youngest SRNA

    ICUDOUCME? replied to blee1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If I get in, I'll start my CRNA schooling at the ripe old age of 46. I admire and encourage you younger people to go for it. I wish I had done this in my 20's but I lacked the focus I have now. I...

  2. Any USC Grads or Students??

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

    Hi Gongju, Do you mean Kaiser? I have an interview there on Feb 9th. I know HopkinsAlum had an interview on Feb 2nd. How did it go Hopkins? I did a search for Kaiser on this forum and found a...

  3. Kaiser Perm--Cal State Fullerton

    ICUDOUCME? replied to jc2006's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    jc2006, I just got my interview invitation today for Kaiser. We won't be on the same day however. I have read that the interview is more personality based...a lot of questions about your...

  4. Kaiser Permanente or USC??

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

    To HopkinsAlum, Thank you for your reply. To answer your question, I work in a critical care unit of 7 beds. We handle surgical and medical cases, ventilated patients, septic patients, etc. I...

  5. Diverse CRNA school

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

    You are right, I am not considered a minority. I am caucasion and grew up in mostly caucasion environments. I guess my point is that I feel frustrated that race is still an issue. If it is, then I...

  6. Kaiser Permanente or USC??

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

    I don't know much about the differences. I know USC asks the applicants to know conversational Spanish. I don't have that skill or I would have applied there. I did apply to Kaiser and am waiting...

  7. Diverse CRNA school

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

    I had an interesting reaction to your post...I felt like you were reluctant to go to school with caucasion people, and maybe risk being the only person "of color" in the class. I'm sure you did not...

  8. making forum better

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

    I think that's an excellent idea. I will hopefully be interviewing at a couple of schools this winter. I will post my

  9. Competitive pharmacology grades

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

    BWoods, I would always strive to bring home the A. CRNA programs are competitive enough without worrying if your GPA is up to snuff. If you have earned As in all your other science classes, why...

  10. Should I give up?

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

    Tae, If it will take you at least a year anyway, why not finish your NP program? What have you got to lose? You are already enrolled and you could get it done in a little over the time it would take...

  11. Hello, Im new to the site with a goal of CRNA school within the next few years!

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

    Welcome JALRN. I'm new too. I take the GRE tomorrow so I cleared my schedule today to do a last minute cram session. I've been studying for it for a while now. Math is my big road block. I...

  12. GRE today

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

    I take my GRE tomorrow! I have been preparing for it for several months now. Let's hope it pays off. I have just started posting to this web site. It's fantastic. I read most of the archives and...

  13. Vasoactive drugs

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

    Yoga, Thanks for the reply. It is scary how much I don't know as a professional. I looked up Diprivan in detial because of this thread and I learned that it can cause hypotension, vagal stimulation...

  14. Vasoactive drugs

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

    I think this sounds a little harsh. Everyone can make a mistake. I run into this attitude a lot at work. The tone of your comment makes it sound like you are indignantly chastising this poster...

  15. who do/did you ask for recomendations?

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

    Hi Piper, I finally got the courage to tell my manager that I am applying and would like her recommendation. She was surprisingly supportive. There is an affiliated unit where the manager is...

  16. Nurse anesthetist in washington

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

    I made a small error in the above post. They interviewed 33 of the 50 qualified applicants, let in 8. She didn't say how many applications were received altogether. But while I'm on the subject, it...

  17. Nurse anesthetist in washington

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

    Hey WA male nurse, ("not many men in that profession is there?") Anyway, I just had an email exchange with the director of that program and she was very helpful. The application deadline for the...
