  1. CA Student thinking of transfering out of state to BSN

    CCRNdude replied to YassQueen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If money and loans aren't a huge issue you can always go to West Coast University here in Southern CA. it's pricey $$$$ though, but they would happily take your money, and since they're so pricey...

  2. California girl going to Ohio University

    CCRNdude replied to lunalovegood25's topic in Ohio University

    I don't plan on working in public health, so I never really thought about getting it. I don't think I will ever try to get it to be honest. I spent anywhere from 2-4 hours a week on each class. Some...

  5. switching ICUs?

    CCRNdude replied to CritcareRN13's topic in MICU, SICU

    I work in a mixed ICU in a large academic tertiary hospital. I agree with the poster who said if you want the most exciting trauma experience, then your best bet is to work the trauma bays in the ER....

    CCRNdude replied to m1lkofamnesia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your stats look really good to me...only thing I can think of based on posts from others is your quantitative score isn't 150. Call the external relations coordinator to get an update on your...

  7. California girl going to Ohio University

    CCRNdude replied to lunalovegood25's topic in Ohio University

    I graduated from OU a couple of years back, and went to a CA community college for my ASN. I currently work in CA and I think that most employers have only cared about me having experience and a BSN,...

    I was told by the admissions coordinator that the next round of interviews will be July 22nd or 29th. Someone else said June 29th, but that seems a little close. I'm thinking if we're interviewed, we...

    CCRNdude replied to m1lkofamnesia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    She told me July a couple of weeks ago, but things change I'm sure. Curious to see how this all goes down. Any word on how many people were at the last

    and the waiting game continues. I was told either July 22nd or 29th for the next interview date. Based on the numbers given, if all 9 from the last interview get in, and assuming nobody has forfeited...

    CCRNdude replied to m1lkofamnesia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nice. I contacted someone from admissions to see what was up with my app. I was told my app is competitive, and I should hopefully hear something. The ADCOM should be meeting soon. She also said...

  13. Has anyone taken the CCRN as of recently?

    CCRNdude replied to guyman123's topic in MICU, SICU

    It was difficult, but definitely doable if you know the info. I think the questions are more objective than nursing school questions, so if you know the info, you can pass. In her videos I think I...

    CCRNdude replied to ECMO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, how did your interviews ago? I'm putting in an app (one of the 7 schools I'm working on applying to) for Feb 2017. I was tempted to apply for the Fall, but it seems a bit risky. How many people...

    CCRNdude replied to m1lkofamnesia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Goes to show how little we all know and we're all just speculating haha. I'm curious to see how many people there will be at each interview. During the webinar they said that it gets a lot more...

    CCRNdude replied to m1lkofamnesia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think they have 40 accepted. Two more interviews with 15 per interview = 70. I'm assuming they will have a 3rd interview session if enough people forfeit their spot for other

  17. CMC- Cardiac Medical Certifcation subspecialty

    CCRNdude replied to Jujubear2606's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I took it and passed last week. It was difficult, and I did worse than I thought I did, but I am happy to have passed. I used pass CCRN questions and re-watched the cardio section from the Gasparis...

  18. CRNA- ICU experience

    CCRNdude replied to sophie<3's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This is entertaining. I personally could not imagine working full-time in a strictly neuro ICU. I can see how it would be good experience, but then again, I can see how other areas may offer better...

  19. Has anyone taken the CCRN as of recently?

    CCRNdude replied to guyman123's topic in MICU, SICU

    I passed CCRN in March and passed the CMC last week as well. I used her videos and the pass CCRN questions only, and I did just fine. I opened the pass CCRN book once, but there was no way that I was...

  20. Anybody applying for OLOL Doctorate CRNA program for 2017?

  21. Barry CRNA Starting 2017

    CCRNdude replied to m1lkofamnesia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    congrats to everyone who got an interview. Wish I didn't apply so late. I'm probably at the bottom of the list since my app was completed right after the deadline. Seems that there are plenty of...

  22. Anybody applying for OLOL Doctorate CRNA program for 2017?

    CCRNdude replied to ccuccrnap16's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm working on my app as we speak. I'm not from baton rouge, but I do like the format of this program. Anyone know what they look for in applicants? I've heard of people with 3.1 GPAs getting in this...

  24. Barry CRNA Starting 2017

    CCRNdude replied to m1lkofamnesia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Very weird. I never got any emails like that ever. I had to call and email the director of admissions pretty frequently in order to make sure all of my documents were received. Eventually I received a...

  25. CRNA- ICU experience

    CCRNdude replied to sophie<3's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I work in a mixed ICU. I've personally learned more from medical ICU patients, but a lot of people have gotten in with neuro ICU experience and your situation sounds like you should take the neuro...
