  1. Will you get in?

    crnahopeful2 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To all the hopefuls out there: stop throwing your stats out there and saying "will I get in?" Just....quit that. The answer to your question is: we were once in your shoes and we have no idea! Apply...

  2. 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...

  3. 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,...

  4. 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...

  5. 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...

  6. 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...

  7. 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...

  8. 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...

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. 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...

  12. 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?

  13. 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...

  14. 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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. Flight Nursing transition to CRNA

    crnahopeful2 replied to flymedicRN24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Call the school and ask. In the meantime, I would look for ICU jobs. My guess is they are going to say no for the same reason they don't accept ED experience. ICU nursing is a valuable experience that...

  18. MTSA Interview

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

    I do believe you'll get a phone call. I've heard it's been as late as late April in some

  21. MTSA Interview

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

    Has anyone paid their down payment? It's been a week and I have yet to see anything in the mail, thought payments are due by a week after acceptance? That's

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

    How do you know this? Have you heard from others that are in outside of this

  24. MTSA Interview

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