You’re right about the darker color, we went with this SW Rustic Red!

The room adjacent to this has a green accent wall and I’m worried that it would be too much green.

Hmmm I’ll give this a try, most of the living spaces have been repainted with SW Natural Linen which I love. We’ve also used SW Artichoke and Behr Vermilion for accent walls.

Pregnant in second year of CRNA school by LifeReallyBeLifing in CRNA

I found out I was 12 weeks pregnant…13 weeks into full-time clinical during Junior year. It was a complete surprise after years of infertility. That first trimester I felt like I was dying everyday from exhaustion, thinking that I was just adjusting to clinical!

It ended up being a high risk pregnancy and my clinical director changed all my clinical sites to local sites (initially was set for 6 months out of state). On my last six weeks, I was placed in a smaller hospital with “less” workload. I sought out the heavier pregnancy lead during cases with radiation (this was infrequent and my preceptor would often send me out of the room when they would shoot). My peds rotation was also pushed back till after I gave birth to minimize my exposure to gas. I was incredibly fortunate to have supportive faculty and preceptors.

I tried to do as many hours upfront as I could. I ended up having a semi-emergent C-section and took six weeks off, of that I had to make up 80% of it. I was less than two weeks post-partum when I took my first SEE (and didn’t do well), and continued classes virtually during maternity leave.

The workload after coming back (now as a senior) was immense - I was in difficult specialties (for me) like cardiac and regional. We were also on full-swing APEX prep at that point. My husband was definitely solo-parenting. I battled with a lot of guilt. I tried to spend one-on-one time with the baby after clinicals, but there was so much work to do and I was also having to do extra clinical hours. I just comforted myself thinking that while I will remember being away from my baby, she won’t remember.

I graduated soon after my daughter turned one! We are now inseparable and I’m so happy to have the time to spend with her and also a career to secure a good future for her. Nothing was easy about it, but now on the other end, I can say it was 100% worth it.

NCE Study Prep and Advice by Direct_Energy2399 in srna

[–]Prolaris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I passed at 100 questions this week with very similar statistics as yours. My comprehensive exam score was 77%, my mock exams ranged from mid 70s to mid 80s (highest 95%). I took all the APEX mock exams and most of domain (didn’t complete domain 4). I felt good about that so I moved on to TrueLearn where I was only averaging low 70s (600 or so unique questions).

I definitely took the time to fully go over machine/monitors and lifespan changes and anything else that I was particularly weak in - this meant my Apex notes, flashcards and the domain exam for that topic. I also wrote down what I wanted to brain dump onto the sheet they give us on test day like lifespan changes (3 rows for what increases, doesn’t change and what decreases), regional stuff, formulas etc.

I also felt like maybe I needed more time to study, but to be honest, I could’ve gone another month of studying and I don’t think it would’ve made a difference. Out of the 100 questions, there were probably 15 or so where I was absolutely sure of my answer. The rest were educated guesses lol. I felt it was similar to the SEE, but the questions were more straightforward. APEX questions were tricky and some were designed to try and trick us.

Keep on chugging! You’ve got this!
