It seems as if some people have a poor additude towards NPs in general, not just CRNAs. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I wouldn't hang around that forum.

More and more I hear that med schools are placing more emphasis on non pre med/science majors and more on liberal arts and interview skills. What good does it do to be a scholastic genius, but have no idea how to communicate effectively with patients and colleagues. Lord knows the competition is for med school is where the admission boards can be a little less concrete and more selective about the type of person they select.

You know, it's really funny to see the lack of objectivity here. There are threads on this board that are every bit as venomous as the couple from the SDN board that were listed at the start of this particular thread. When they get nasty, they should be closed, as that one was, and as several have been on this board. But let's not pretend that y'all are always taking the high road here and everyone at the "other board" is not. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Y'all go to an MD board and strut your stuff? Expect to get bashed. An MD (or god forbid an AA like me) comes to this board - they get bashed.

Excellent points.

 The MD board made me bored
I find our board more informative and frankly, interesting! Any physician worth anything eventually recognizes that his success is dependent on his skilled non doc partners in patient care. Ignore them, time will pass, they'll grow up.

A Request...
I would encourage members here referring to SDN and other such sites not do so with the sole purpose of "stirring the pot" at this site. Such sites (like SDN) contain among their more heated or even "venomous" posts, a wealth of knowledge from which we can all learn something. I, too, am disappointed at the lack of objectivity among us as nurses regarding such issues. Try to go into any new situation, attempting to hear what others are saying, versus "looking for a fight", and we may actually learn something. Try not to let the opinions/editorials there that upset you get you so riled up. They are just those---opinions. Just like here.
Thank you.

Pride and Jealousy
I just finished reading all the posts here and at the "Student Doc" forum, and it seems to me that both groups are made up of individuals that are both proud of their own accomplishments and abilities, and of individuals who are jealous or misinformed of the other group. As so graciously stated by the "honorable" Rodney King, "Why can't we all just get along." :chuckle

However I never start hate threads or start talking crap that isnt egged on. Doing so would only make us look like the poo poo starters.
The board is good though. I have learned so much about political issues as well as clinical issues there. Wish we could get more interesting posts here. So tired of reading please list "Grades, GPA, GRE scores ect"
I know people just want to see how their stats compare to rank themselves but their has to be 50million crna entrance stat threads on this board.
have a great night.
We won't have interesting posts here because we are, for the most part, people who are not as educated and as they. We will always lag behing in that aspect. Our knowledge is lacking and nurses are not known for being "on top of things" for the most part. Just my two cents.
