    UtahICURN replied to fsnurselaur9's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I prepped for about 3 or 4 weeks and did very well. It has been a long time since I had taken math, but I was able to review a few prep books and it was not too difficult to pick back up. You will...

    The test will be administered before the interview. It consists of half "CCRN" type questions, and half basic (i think some organic) chemistry questions. They say that it has absolutely no bearing on...

    There are no breaks ever. You might have a break from didactic work, but you will always have clinicals. They have you work more hours in between semesters, so there is no time that you will ever be...

    If you take all of the headstart courses, it might be possible to work maybe one day a week during the first part of the first semester (there are 2 blocks). But there are NO "breaks" in between...

    You might even still be on your parents insurance (again, no clue about your personal life) because of your age. I have to use loans to pay for all sorts of costs of living, such as car, life, and...

    UtahICURN replied to fsnurselaur9's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I guess it sort of depends on how much is left on the loan, and how big the payments are. I'm guessing you are single, no kids? I have a family, two kids, so my expenses are inherently more than (i am...

    That's why I said "to each their own". I don't know everyone's individual circumstances, and I definitely wouldn't recommend someone undertaking this without having a solid game plan. They will award...

    Although my ICU experience was great to get my feet wet and to get some experience with vents, meds etc...nothing can greatly prepare you for CRNA school. It's an entirely different animal. I would...

  10. Does CRNA school have a lot of math work?

    UtahICURN replied to greenalmonds's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you can do well on the math portion of the GRE, you will be totally fine in anesthesia school. Nothing in school is more difficult that what is on the

    Also, there are many creative ways to have your student debt paid down after you graduate. There are many employers that offer some amount of student debt payment as an incentive (i've heard as much...

    As far as the financial stuff is concerned, the longer you put off going to school, the fewer years you will be making 150k+ salaries. It doesn't really make a ton of sense to keep "saving" while...

    If your last chem class is older than 5 years, I believe that they will make you retake a chem course...Barry offers one that you can take, but I don't think that the one that is actually part of the...

  15. General ICU or CICU?

    UtahICURN replied to aspiringcrna1111's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am currently in the CRNA program at Barry university. I worked in a general ICU at a level II trauma facility. The good thing about that floor is that we also took fresh open hearts. I think that...

    No other fees that I remember. And it started in August for me. It is all online. Dr. Dick will have live lectures for the chemistry portion. They are recorded, but you are highly encouraged to...

    No, your acceptance doesn't matter based what location you prefer, you just might not get your first pick. They give you clinical location preference in the order that you were accepted. The reasons...

    Relocating is definitely no fun, and it can be quite expensive...but in the grand scheme of things, it's just one small bullet you have to bite. Any reason why you are choosing Tampa? If you are even...

    I only took professional aspects and chemistry during the fall, guess i missed the boat with the research class. And yeah, as my name suggests, I moved from Utah to Florida. I hate snow, so no big...

    I absolutely recommend taking the head start classes (all of them). You will be in SUCH a better place during the first semester. It will allow you to get settled in before the "storm" comes. Those...

    Is the summer course just the chemistry refresher ( not part of the program)? If so, then no. I recently took a chemistry course. But I will be taking the classes in the
