1. 2015 is it official? YES

   Jillybean1988 replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in CRNA

   Yes! If you have a D in your credentials whether it be an MD, PHD, PHARMD, DPT or DNAP, you put in the hours and deserve the title of DOCTOR! I think that the idea that some MD's have that "nurses can't hold the title of Doctor" is ridiculous! If a t...

2. St Charles Community College- reapply?

   Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in Missouri

   The problem I have is the fact that misinformation from the staff has caused WAY too many problems and the fact that they do change the program once you have applied and they dont bother to make sure anyone is informed, and then when you tell them he...

3. St Charles Community College- reapply?

   Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in Missouri

   Yeah, I have heard terrible things. I agree that they protect their pass rate. Another thing I look at when I choose a school is their graduation rate. Because if 60% is all they have left of their class, then it shows that they aren't worried about ...

4. St Charles Community College- reapply?

   Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in Missouri

   Oh, I thought my reply answered your question! Ha. No, I have not considered STLCC. Only because I have all of my prereqs done, even the ones for my bachelors degree. I plan to get a Masters in the field. Going on a wait list for STLCC would set me b...

5. St Charles Community College- reapply?

   Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in Missouri

   SCCC is definately NOT a lottery! Lol. You get a number on the wait list and according to that number they assign you a dosage calculation sign up time. The higher on the list you are, the earlier your time to sign up, the earlier you take the dosage...

6. St Charles Community College- reapply?

   Jillybean1988 posted a topic in Missouri

   Has anyone heard that in order to get into SCC's RN program you must reapply each year? I took my dosage test last year and failed it (not that I was high enough on the list that I would have gotten in) but I just read online that if you took the dos...

7. Am I cut out for this?

   Jillybean1988 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in SRNA

   I also am an extreme forthinker like you. :thnkg:I don't have a family at home, but I do think I can loan you some perspective. Especially in the money field. It will be very hard to support children and pay for a CRNA. I would suggest working a year...

8. How did you choose your school?

   Jillybean1988 replied to missnurse01's topic in SRNA

   The benefits of a front loaded program compared to an intergrated program basically boils down to a few things. A front loaded program gives you a year off from nursing rotation/clinicals. 1. This can be a good thing because you will have more time ...

9. I want to be a CRNA but I have questions!

   Jillybean1988 replied to Jillybean1988's topic in CRNA

   I know they were RN's. Lol. Although some go through straight to school with only the experience they need for grad school and some people are RN's for years before they go back to school. That is where I was going with that. I am fairly familiar wit...

10. Thanks to getting my RN license I may be jobless and homeless

    Jillybean1988 replied to expo4u's topic in Missouri

    I am lucky enough to already do those things! Haha. I was raised that way. Hard work, helping out and always being pleasant have gotten me pretty far already. I also was raised that theres always something you can do. If not helping out on the floor,...

11. Thanks to getting my RN license I may be jobless and homeless

    Jillybean1988 replied to expo4u's topic in Missouri

    I agree with WDW. You seem to be venting about your life instead of actually giving helpful advice to the poster. I am sorry you have had trouble with finding a position that suits you, but when you say things like "if you dont get into acute care qu...

12. I want to be a CRNA but I have questions!

    Jillybean1988 posted a topic in CRNA

    Hello all, I am a nursing student about to graduate with my RN. I plan to do an accelerated RN-BSN option specifically for the purpose of having one year of ICU experience (and I have some CNA experience currently) so that I can pass on to CRNA sch...

13. 2015 is it official? YES

    Jillybean1988 replied to HieuNgu1155's topic in CRNA

    This may seem like a crazy question, but does that mean if say I graduate in 2015, that I will need my DNAP down the road? A lot of programs and hospitals require ongoing education. Does this mean we will need to get it, or that we will be "grandfath...

14. Hospitals offering tuition for CRNA School

    Jillybean1988 replied to thyme39's topic in SRNA

    Hi, I don't mean to thread snatch, but I am hoping to be a CRNA someday (probably 2 years) down the road. I am starting to look into how to pay for it. My school (the only one in MO) is about 40k before fees. I am probably looking at 45k after everyt...
