2. Break before school

   Timboner replied to Brooklynn89's topic in SRNA

   I plan on doing the same thing. Was quoted at more than $2,000 a week take home with traveling and I'm going for it. Pay off some credit card bills and student loans I have before I start. Take off the month of July too before my August start date!

3. Is CRNA school worth it?

   Timboner replied to Lagrecaj's topic in SRNA

   That's great. I would suggest working at AMC in the SICU or CTICU for the best experience in the area when you start your nursing career. AMC will take new grad RN's in the ICU too so that may speed things up a bit for you.

5. Is CRNA school worth it?

   Timboner replied to Lagrecaj's topic in SRNA

   If it was easy, everybody would do it. Spend some time on Med/surg and the ICU to make sure you get not only critical care experience but the critical thinking aspect of the job.

   Ok great. I can't start it without adding another member to it, so pm your email address or your name if you can and we'll get it started.

7. Got into CRNA school. now cold feet?

   Timboner replied to cticunurse's topic in SRNA

   I feel like literally a dozen people I have worked with in the last few years have all told me how much they regret not going to school to be a CRNA and how life happened and they had kids or decided to not go for whatever reason. Of all the CRNAs I...

8. Got into CRNA school. now cold feet?

   Timboner replied to cticunurse's topic in SRNA

   Yep. I'm anxious too, looking at things that others do before starting school, but from the students I have talked to they all say relax as you'll learn everything you need to in school. But all will be fine. Loans can always be paid off, opportuniti...

   Timboner replied to Timboner's topic in SRNA

   That's great! Think we should make a facebook group to make getting to know everyone easier before we start? From what I have heard there is an event prior to us starting on campus too.

10. CRNA interview

    Timboner replied to geogeo1991979's topic in SRNA

    Best weakness answer is taking too much on without asking for help. Say it's something you're working really hard at correcting and you are getting there. It lets them know you are a hard worker and take on a bit of work. Delegation is also a good we...

11. Is Columbia the right CRNA Program

    Timboner replied to IfLifeGivesYouLemons's topic in SRNA

    I feel like I am in a similar boat as you, or I was. I talked to several Albany students, and I'm not sure how your interview went there but the faculty was very honest and sincere in their answers. The one note that stuck for me was when one of the ...

    So how did the interview go?

13. About prerequisite "Organic Chemistry I"

    Timboner replied to txsky SRNA's topic in SRNA

    I would spend 4-5 hours doing each module which was about 4-5 hours a week. It wasn't bad. It's a lot of reading the textbook and the accompanying work manual thing to figure out the answers to the teachers assignments.

14. About prerequisite "Organic Chemistry I"

    Timboner replied to txsky SRNA's topic in SRNA

    UC Berkeley Extension has an online organic chemistry course. No lab. It satisfied the requirements for the programs I applied to and I finished the course in less than 90 days. Give it a look!

15. Length of ICU experience

    Timboner replied to stepbystep12's topic in SRNA

    Regardless of what happens in your interview/acceptance process, don't give up if you don't get in this time around. If you do get accepted and the program starts in the summer-time, that leaves you enough time to study up on CCRN materials and to as...
