    Hello, Wanted to ask those who had received the third year award how long it took after application submission for things to get rolling? I remember the initial application was pretty agonizing...
  2. HRSA Nurse Corp Loan Repayment Program 2023

    Shamfrod, I don't remember having to submit anything from NBCRNA. As long as you do the work verification I think you'll be fine, unless the requirements have changed. Hope it works
  3. HRSA Nurse Corp Loan Repayment Program 2023

    Hello everyone, I am currently a participant in the loan repayment program. Ran across this thread and thought I'd give some details of how the chain of events went down from last year when I was...

  5. HRSA Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2022

    Just called earlier this morning as I had received the counter signature last week but nothing had changed on my profile. After speaking with someone I received a welcome email 30 minutes later and...

  7. HRSA Nurse Corps Loan Repayment 2022

    The information that I received recently was the same in clarifying it was only a notification of qualification and NOT an award of funds. Waiting on counter signature to confirm
  8. From your description of the unit you currently work on, you need to transfer to an adult ICU for at least a year, if not more, to be adequately prepared for anesthesia school. You will be responsible...
  9. Waiving ICU requirement

    Well you are missing the most important part of the application. No book can teach the knowledge you gain from hands-on ICU experience day in and day out. There's a reason it's there and shouldn't be...
  10. Grading Scale

    My program had a 10 point grading scale. 79.5-89.4 was a B, 89.5 and up was an A. One C was allowed the whole program. The rigor of programs, both didactically and clinically, is high given the...
  11. Employer Paying for School?

    There are hospitals and groups that have tuition reimbursement. I have heard of groups offering students stipends while in school to help offset some loan debt. I have also heard of groups or...
  12. CRNA Question

    Right now CRNAs are very much in high demand. You can pretty much pick anywhere you want to work in the country and will most likely find a job in that location. With that said, there are many places...
  13. CRNA Scope

    Hi Gkb1, CRNAs mainly work in the OR and different procedure areas performing anesthesia for all different kinds of procedures. The closest thing to any kind of clinic setting would be if you did...
  14. Working during CRNA School

    Depends on the curriculum structure but more than likely you won't have time once didactic and/or clinicals kicks in. The amount of money you would make isn't worth the extra stress and the time you...
  15. Hi pWalsh, First off your stats are more than adequate and will make you a strong candidate for gaining an interview. Speaking to your main question, I'm currently taking the chemistry course in our...
  16. OLOL DNP CRNA 2018

    Hey Cajun lady, Unfortunately ICU experience is required. The schools that accept ER experience are few in number and Fran U (formerly OLOL) isn't one of them. The ER experience and CEN will...
  17. OLOL DNP CRNA 2018

    Hi H. Dean, I was an alternate last year and am in the program now. I'm not sure exactly how many of my classmates were alternates as well but I know there were at least two selected, including...
  18. DNP-CRNA OLOL College 2017

    Hey yall, I'm currently in the program at OLOL. Just to give some general information about the interview process, it's pretty straightforward. The interview panel will ask both clinical and personal...
  19. Hi switch, After reading your post, I thought I'd answer some of your questions and provide some clarification. Speaking to your past academic history, your performance in your nursing pre-reqs and...
  20. Hi bent, In my opinion, work in the ICU you would enjoy the most. I think that would be conducive to you getting the most out of your experience there. The only exception I would make is if you're set...
  21. A couple of questions!

    Hi Annie, Like amnesia said, ER experience is not accepted at most schools but I believe a few do, only if you work in a Level I trauma center where you get exposure to anything and everything patient...
  22. Hi alli, Like the other comments have stated, there is a lot more that goes into being accepted to a program, although your work experience does play a very large part. From personal experience, I was...
  23. Selected as an alternate to this program, got a call last week and now I'll be starting in January! For other alternates out there, there is
