The suggestion I have been making lately to prospective students is to buy a book on the autonomic nervous system. This book would be a great introduction to the system you will aspire to become an expert on. This is not a textbook that will teach you anesthesia, but it is an introduction to the arena you will be responsible for one day. It will also make you a better ICU nurse until you are accepted into school. Yes, it is a simplified version of the ANS, but it also makes it easier to pick up and read, especially when you do not have to read! Good luck on your adventure!

haha I second the ultra fine tip sharpies!! They are essential! Some of the stuff I've gotten along the way were cute/funny badge holders (retractable), scrub hats, nice stethoscope (if she doesn't have one already)/steth holder - after using and hating many of the plastic ones I finally sprung for the leather batclip and I love it (as a student you always have to have your steth on you while walking around and you have to have your hands free)

This book was like gold to me doing peds cases.

For classroom, a lot of people in my class, including me, used these. They write really smooth and fine and all the colors are useful in notes - especially with things like anatomy. She'll need an endless supply of computer paper. I used a good many index cards (ruled).

Good luck to you! It's a very difficulty journey. Try your best to not take things too personally and prepare yourself for a lot less quality time together. It's very difficult to explain it to someone on the outside, but this program actually fundamentally changed me as a person. It hardens you. It's not a bad thing necessarily, but I often think that I'm not the same person that my husband fell in love with!! We stuck it out together and are as happy as ever, but there are definitely plenty of relationships and marriages that don't survive this - so be ready to fight for it!

Battery case for your phone.

Keep a running note in your phone and keep notes on the people you work with to memorize their way of doing things.

If you can make a google doc with other students to track/share rotation site notes.

Take pictures of the set ups ... each person does it differently.

Be vigilant, always.

Show up dressed nicely...business casual..or just not schlepy.

Get there early.

Dont stay up past 10 or 11p

Exercise. Dont drink too much coffee. Drink water. Go pee. Eat healthy. Take vitamins.

Know your drugs (top shelf, gas..~50) inside and out.. doa moa dose. MEMORIZED. ...

Get access asap especially if they offer remote access to look up cases (ask when the schedule comes out). Get you badge, keys, card access set up too. Youll look more professional and be more helpful.

Ask for unusual cases. Write about the experience immediately after when its fresh.

Good luck! You’ll do great! May I ask which school?


Oooh nice shoes too. Make sure they have a back to them and aorn compliant.

I bought this book on the recommendation of some of my old coworkers who went to anesthesia school. Take every drug you currently use in practice and just study more about it. Don't try to teach yourself anesthesia (that's what school is for) but use it to be the best ICU nurse you can be. That's what they will be interviewing you based on.

Get this:


https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0323249779/ref=ya_aw_oh_bia_dp?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It’s basically anesthesia condensed. Certainly not all-inclusive, but it’s come in handy for me.

Also, as a senior with about 9 months to go, I have had great clinical experienced overall. There have been maybe one or two assholes that just enjoy torturing students, you’ll run into these people regardless. But for the most part, everyone is nice and willing to help you; they’ll still quiz you, but it will be to teach you, not purposefully make you feel stupid and small. As long as you are a hard worker/not lazy, try hard, put in the effort, and make it clear you WANT to learn, most preceptors will have your back.
