I know this forum seems to be more dedicated to legal nursing, and there have been a couple posts about going to law school, but I had a few different questions. I have my BSN and I am currently looking into becoming an attorney specializing in heal...

Accepted to Nazareth for '08 and the University of Pittsburgh for '07--I am quickly trying to make a decision!

You would really just have to ask each school how they look at the writing score, as this is quite new to the GRE. I personally did not get a good verbal score but recieved a great writing score. During my last CRNA interview the program director me...

I have applied to 5 nurse anesthesia programs and so far I have been invited to interview at 2 schools (I am still waiting to hear back from the other 3). I was looking for advice from others who have interviewed out of state. I live in Washington an...

Another vote for going straight into ICU. I was a nurse tech during nursing school on a med-surg floor and knew from the first few days it was not the area of nursing I was passionate about so it was not a good place for me or the patients I was cari...

To those of you out there who already have your CCRN, how long did you take to study in preparation for the exam?

I agree with the above post, do your best in regards to patient care, volunteer on committees, go above and beyond the call of duty, etc. Even when you do all of the above it can still be difficult; some critical care nurses can be cut throat and oth...

A couple of directors that I talked to said SICU or CVICU/CCU--usually see the most hemodynamic management, drip titration with this population--usually.

I found this on the AANA website: "The International Federation of Nurse Anesthetists (IFNA) is an international organization representing nurse anesthetists serving the public and its members. The mission of the federation is dedicated to the precep...

I am planning on retaking the GRE's next month, as I recieved a V:440 and Q:510, but I just recieved my analytical writing score and it was strong, a 5. Has anyone done very poorly on the verbal while recieving a good analytical writing score? I thou...

Hey I was wondering if anyone had some info. on this one. When filling out my portion for letters of reference for CRNA programs they give you the option "I waive my rights to access this recommendaton" or "I do not waive my rights to access this re...

Thanks all for your advice :)

I knew I would already find a thread on this subject, I am in need of some moral support. I just took the GRE today and recieved Verbal 440 and Quant. 510, a whopping 950. I completed the majority of the online Kaplan course and did not realize the v...

I am applying to 5, most of the schools I am applying to seem to want the apps. between Aug.-Nov. but a few of them said it was fine to get them in as early as I want. I am going to try to have everything done by early August. I have found the letter...

Thanks all for your advice

Hey all, I have a question and would appreciate any advice. I am preparing to apply to NA programs this summer, so I will be asking for letters of reference soon. I am currently working the night shift in the ICU I am at--I have been on nights for 8...

Believe me before I posted I did a search on ICU exp. but did not find exactly what I was looking for, and I keep revisiting this question so please bear w/me :) I currently work in a 337 bed urban hospital with a level III 12 bed adult ICU. I have ...

This is a hard one, but you are right about retaking the science courses--it seems the general consensus is to retake them if they are in the C range, even though it seems some people on this forum have gotten in with a lone C in a science course. ...

Thanks for your replies, it helps to hear others opinions. I understand a bit more about the trauma designation, meaning what services offered 24 hrs. a day--the google search helped :) I will just keep applying myself were I am at now, I guess I was...

I completely understand where you are at. I knew after a few months in nursing school that I wanted to become a CRNA and after talking to a CRNA and shadowing only futher solidified my goal. I graduated last yr. w/my BSN, I am in the ICU now, and at ...

I also live in Washington also so I understand the dilemma; we now have two in the NW with the new program at OHSU and then Gonzaga in Spokane, whoo hoo :) I didn't want to be limited so I myself have just done a lot of research of schools in states...

I have browsed the different posts regarding grades for CRNA school, and it seems like the consensus is that science GPA should be 3.0 or greater. My grades are as follows: BSN 3.74 Micro 3.2 Human anat 3.2 Physiology 2.7 O. Chem 3.9 Principles of Bi...

Thanks for the relpy. I have actually started to narrow down the schools I am planning to apply to, and just called to ask questions about my science grades/BSN and overall gpa/how re-takes are looked at. I should have done this much sooner! All the ...

I have a question about being a CRNA and balancing that with family life. I am currently working in the ICU and since I was in my first couple months of nursing school I have wanted to become a nurse anesthetist. I have shadowed a CRNA and now I am l...
