Nursing Students SRNA

Published

We've had several threads from everyone saying they were accepted to various schools, but if everyone is willing let's do one big thread for everyone that will be starting anesthesia school this summer or fall. If you don't mind please include where you applied, the status from each school ( meaning didn't get an interview, interviewed and not accepted/made alternate/accepted), and the school you chose and why. Thanks, so much!

I applied to :

1) Medical College of Georgia- interviewed and made alternate

2) Samford (in Birmingham)- interviewed and accepted

3) University of Alabama at Birmingham- interviewed and accepted and will be going there this fall. I chose UAB because I loved the Director and all of their clinicals are in Birmingham, so I won't have to travel all over the state.

Congrats Calvin That is my first choice school. Send me a PM.

I have will be starting at Oregon Health and Science University in the fall of 2007!!!

Congratulations, when did you find out? How did you find out? I am waiting to hear from them. :o

Is anyone planning on going to anesthesist school and have kids?

Yes, many do school with kids. In fact, I am starting this fall and am a single mother. You need to have a strong, strong support network. My mother lives with me yet spends most of her time at her boyfriends house. Every morning like 4 or 5 AM during the week, she will come over and get my son off to school so I can go to the hospital. After school, he can go to extended daycare if needed. If he is sick or does not have school my mom watches him. I also have a bunch of back up sitters to call on if my mom goes MIA for some reason.

Asking a bunch of current students what kind of schedule they have has helped me plan for my son's care next year.

Is anyone planning on going to anesthesist school and have kids?

Yea, I am. I have two, but they are older. My son is 16 and my daugher will be 14 when I start. I'm very involved with both of my kids and what they do. However, come Aug 22, I will be MIA for 27 months at the UAB program. I graduate Dec 09 and my son graduates high school May of 10 lol. Talk about cutting it close. Basically, I will miss all of his sporting events until his very last season of soccer with the HS team. Same for her. Fortunately, I am married and do have a wife to help with the kids and since they are older.........one would think they wouldnt be so dependent on us anymore but I still have to do 8th and 10th grade homework sometimes :( Guess we better find a tutor !
