Spurs_up DNP, CRNA

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 Nagelhout pharmacology you can review his lectures. I...

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 kudos, but will critique every move you make.

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 candidates.

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 people get fixated on, it’s more important to loo...

Just apply, you’ll get an interview.

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 that you got a C or B in and get an A. This will b...

When I interviewed for school they didn’t care that I had been doing travel nursing for a few years.

Congratulations!

around 45-50, but some years have been more, so it could be more.

Don't be conflicted I am a current student at UMB. From all of our experience none of were asked those type of questions.

There was no written test or clinical questions.

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 A.

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 well. Getting a C+ isn't the end of the world, tru...

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 that there is at least 3 people who were waitlisted ...

Everything will be sent via email, they will call you on selection day, then you will receive and email with your acceptance letter and they will also mail that same acceptance letter a few weeks after that. Like I have mentioned before I received my...

If I remember correctly that displays once you have submitted everything. That phrase will haunt you over the next few months. Your interview request will come via the email you submitted in your application. Be on the lookout for and email offering ...

To all that are applying to Umaryland Baltimore CRNA program please read. First off congratulations on beginning your exciting journey, Maryland is an awesome program with great professors. The program truely has a student first mentality. I have bee...

I just moved from San Antonio to Maryland to start anesthesia school this June. San Antonio is a awesome city with a lot to do. Most of the job opportunities for CRNA's is in outpatient surgery. They use a lot of CRNA's in the the hospitals in Austin...

You want/need to know to the following things from all the programs: 1) Are you competing with residents for cases during clinical? 2) How much regional experience does the average student get throughout the program? After the they discuss their num...

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 be starting school till for 6 months to a year aft...

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 interviewing against you will have a previous medi...

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 class that you got a C in when you are done with you...

You can email me at [email protected], feel free to email me with any questions. I am from the the DC area and I am fairly familiar with Baltimore.

Good afternoon UMB class of 2020, we should start a email chain to help each other out for preparing for school by this June 2017 start date. We can also share relocation info, books, and anything to make the transition that much easier. Considering ...

I wouldn't worry to much about those B's. Just make sure you keep your GPA above a 3.5, so study hard now. from my experience the students at the top of the class in your BSN program will get priority on picking their internship spot. By keeping your...
