  1. Accepted into CRNA school, how do I prepare

    Spurs_up replied to mabrown4's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You will use this book in school. It has a physics of anesthesia chapter that you will need to know early on into your training. I would also study up on the pharmacology components. If you Google...

  2. Failure. Disappointed. Embarrassed.

    Spurs_up replied to guest942057's topic in General Students

    Some advice, resorting to immature name calling due to not getting a pat on the back is something you will need to work on. There is a lot of “tough love” in CRNA school. No preceptor will owe you...

  3. Calling out any exclusively NICU RNs who became CRNAs?

    Spurs_up replied to pinkdoves's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Had one NICU nurse in my class of 20 students. It’s possible, but seems to be very limited. Adult ICU will look better and your NICU experience will help separate you from other

  4. Does trauma level 1 ICU give you the best chance?

    Spurs_up replied to Eventuallyollie's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As long as you are regularly managing vented patients and drips you should be fine. If your ICU is more like a step down unit then I would look to go to another hospital. Level one is just a term that...

  6. CRNA: Will my stats qualify me?

    Spurs_up replied to thatMICUrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Schools really look at three GPAs: your overall, your science, and your last 60 (nursing). Look at your grades and see where all of these land. If you notice weak areas think about retaking any class...

    Spurs_up replied to St.BaptistRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Iowa central community college, it's what a lot of people in the ARMY use. Pretty much an easy A from what I have heard. I personally know 5 people who have taken that class and they all got an

  13. I got a C+ in Pharmacology & I am really discouraged about my future as a nurse ..

    Spurs_up replied to Sherlsx3's topic in General Students

    If you have a license you will get a job. I have never held a job that asked for my transcripts, keep your grades up from here on out and you will be fine. You can still get into a masters program as...

  14. CRNA school waitlist

    Spurs_up replied to BBB888's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First off I can't speak to being waitlisted, but don't think of chasing your dream as being a failure. It's your first year applying and many people don't get in their first year. I know for a fact...

    Spurs_up replied to Lemon87's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Apply now! You're a qualified applicant and I am willing to bet that if you apply to three schools you will most likely get into all three, maybe two on a bad day. Plus keep in mind that you will not...

  21. First Bachelor Gpa or 2nd Bachelor Gpa?

    Spurs_up replied to Nursingismy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Programs will mainly look at your science, nursing GPA. I would worry to much about your medical school grads. Truthfully it will probably increase your chance of getting in since I doubt many people...

  22. Lowest GPA for CRNA

    Spurs_up replied to CowboyMedic's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I feel that GPA helps to get you an interview, but once you get that far they want to know if they would like working with you. Your GPA looks okay, especially your BSN. I would retake that algebra...
