  3. Break before school

    Timboner replied to Brooklynn89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  4. Is CRNA school worth it?

    Timboner replied to Lagrecaj's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  6. Is CRNA school worth it?

    Timboner replied to Lagrecaj's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  8. Got into CRNA school. now cold feet?

    Timboner replied to cticunurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  9. Got into CRNA school. now cold feet?

    Timboner replied to cticunurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

    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

  11. CRNA interview

    Timboner replied to geogeo1991979's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  12. Is Columbia the right CRNA Program

    Timboner replied to IfLifeGivesYouLemons's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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....

  14. About prerequisite "Organic Chemistry I"

    Timboner replied to txsky SRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  15. About prerequisite "Organic Chemistry I"

    Timboner replied to txsky SRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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

  16. Length of ICU experience

    Timboner replied to stepbystep12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  20. Albany Medical College - Summer 17

    Timboner replied to Timboner's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Albany was much different than the Columbia interview. They interviewed us one by one in their own private offices, not in a panel setting. It was extremely laid back, no intimidating questions or...

    Timboner replied to Timboner's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can neither confirm or deny I was at said interview. I'm very happy with Albany at this point in my interviewing process. I have a couple more places to hear back. Who were you yesterday? I didn't...

  23. Albany Medical College - Summer 17

    Timboner replied to Timboner's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My interview went well. The only thing that I can really speak of that was challenging was the exam prior to the interview. It's more of a CCRN questionnaire. If you have your CCRN and review/study...
