  1. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

    PICU2CRNA replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    It certainly is, IF the ICU experience is with high acuity patients. I know of many current SRNAs and practicing CRNAs who had 1 yr experience when they were accepted. But if the ICU experience is a...

  2. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

    PICU2CRNA replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Most programs don't accept NICU and now that I'm finishing my first year, of CRNA school, I understand why. My background was PICU and I also floated to NICU...very large teaching hospital. There is...

  3. Experienced CRNA...ask me anything

    PICU2CRNA replied to 06crna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Simply put, time commitment and clinicals are the hardest part, IMO. CRNA school literally consumes your life. Clinicals are where you learn the most and on a good day, that means being with a...

    06crna - You're retiring at the same age I'm finishing my first yr of CRNA school. Kudos to you! Very jealous. I'll be lucky to be alive in 12

    PICU2CRNA replied to mi_top_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It didn't say, but in some of the comments ppl discussed how they had continued to fail to get their requirements addressed/fulfilled for Regional. I really don't know anything about Wolford, but I...

    PICU2CRNA replied to mi_top_rn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The COA has extended their accreditation through Feb. 2020. Good news for current students. I have a copy of the COA letter that I saved from one of our CRNA/SRNA group sites, but I don't see a way...

    PICU2CRNA posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I was wondering if anyone out there who interviewed with Raleigh last week (Nov. 1st and 2nd) has heard back yet. I am going nuts

  8. Raleigh School of Nurse Anesthesia CRNA Fall 2017

    PICU2CRNA replied to CCUnurse2016's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would just try to be relaxed, show them your personality, and when they ask you clinical questions, just think about scenarios in your ICU to answer them...that's what I did. Be humble, show them...

  9. Raleigh School of Nurse Anesthesia CRNA Fall 2017

    PICU2CRNA replied to CCUnurse2016's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My BSN GPA was 4.0 and my GRE scores were 161, 150, and 4.0. I think what mattered as well was my memberships on nursing committes, nursing volunteer work, here and abroad, and experience in a very...

  13. Raleigh CRNA program 2017 entry

    PICU2CRNA replied to PICU2CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, I was an alternate last year. The alternate list is probably long and there are probably very few people pay their deposit and then change their mind about the program. I never thought it was...

    PICU2CRNA replied to PICU2CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey, I know you're bummed because I was in the same position last year. Be sure to turn in your letter saying that you want to be on the alternate list and go ahead and ask them for feedback about...

  19. Raleigh CRNA program 2017 entry

    PICU2CRNA replied to PICU2CRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I thought it went well. It was very laid back, about 15 mins long and they were all super nice. I know that ppl who are accepted get notified quickly (talked to about 12 current and past students),...
