1. Textbook usage in CRNA school

   crnahopeful2 replied to Funformillions's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Don't do it! Every professor's test content comes straight from the notes and if you do need the book for anything--they're all in the library and no one would have a clue if you borrowed it for a day...

2. Two CRNA Questions

   crnahopeful2 replied to fredb's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   You can specialize just as a nurse can, not prior to graduation and typically you'd have better luck with this working in a large academic center, but it really is just facility dependent. However,...

3. what to do after being accepted

   crnahopeful2 replied to rawz2014's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Congrats! But I completely agree. Definitely don't study or look at anything anesthesia. They don't expect you to know anything so what's the point in wasting your last days of freedom?! And yes, save...

4. MTSA Interview

   crnahopeful2 replied to BabyCatcherCNM1984's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Excuse me? I'm not even part of the "abnormally arrogant" junior class at MTSA, nor was I trying to come across as arrogant. I simply stated my own personal interview experience and suggestions, while...

5. MTSA Interview

   crnahopeful2 replied to BabyCatcherCNM1984's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   In the letter, it tells you to know all the drugs. On your application you put the drips you frequently work with and the letter says they expect you to know the action of these drugs down to the...

6. CRNA IN 2020?

   crnahopeful2 replied to Rich_'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   You will be grandfathered in, considering you will already be certified at the time the DNP requirement takes effect (IF it even takes effect by then). There is no way they could require all 50,000...

7. Franciscan Healthcare CRNA program Interview-La Crosse, Wi

   crnahopeful2 replied to madr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I interviewed there last year. SO laid back. They don't ask any clinical questions whatsoever. They asked why anesthesia, what I do in my spare time, what I think my manager would say about me, and I...

8. Order of events (quitting your job) from ICU RN to SRNA?

   crnahopeful2 replied to Guest650603's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   Speaking from experience, this is what I did: My current unit has a high level of turnover, so I didn't mention that I was looking to go back to school specifically in my interview. Long-term goals...

9. How easy to get loans for CRNA school?

   crnahopeful2 replied to nurs1ng's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   My school emailed us this national "budget" and won't pay out ANY financial aid (federal or private) above and beyond tuition + this budget allotment. Is this common across the board? Do all schools...

10. How long did it take you to become a CRNA

    crnahopeful2 replied to kateee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I finished my undergrad in 3.5 years, spent 2.5 years in an ICU, and will be starting a 27 month program at age 23. A little over 8 years after graduating high school it'll take me. I'll be just over...

11. Saint Mary's 2015 crna app

    crnahopeful2 replied to ballardaj09's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I thought this program didn't interview anymore and it was based strictly off your personal statement?

12. PACU or ED for CRNA

    crnahopeful2 replied to SlyFoxRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good luck in an interview when they ask you how you handled a crashing patient, or about vent settings, or about a time when you made a crutial catch, or anything of that nature. They might consider...

13. CRNA Admission chances?

    crnahopeful2 replied to ONE-TWO--'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To you and the other 300 people asking this same question: if you meet the application requirements, apply and find out. If you are really going to let a bunch of faceless people's opinions persuade...

14. Chances of getting into a CRNA program in NY?

    crnahopeful2 replied to NursingStudentEMT's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    https://allnurses.com/student-registered-nurse/will-you-get-979530.html Aside from shadowing, exactly what else do you think there could possibly be to do? I've said it before, I'll say it again. If...

15. I need some advice.

    crnahopeful2 replied to aschultz7's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your very specific plan stresses me out. Things will fall into place for you when the times are right, and that would be my best advice about it. It's not like nursing school where you have deadlines...
