  3. Anyone been to army OBC?

    Leisa22, PT is three times a week, unless you fail the diagnostic or are on the fat boy program, excuse me, politically correct term "special population". Otherwise, get your uniforms squared away, drive yourself there, so you will have wheels ...
  4. USA Reserve Questions

    US Army Reserve Officer Basic Course is a two week cours held in San Antonio, TX. I went to the Active Component OBC while I was on active duty and it was easy, yea I had to wake up seemed like every morning for PT but it was only 3 days a week at 0...

    Lambert, I'll answer that. For Army Reserve AMEDD ( Army Medical Department) the only absolute requirement for Officers is OBC (Officer Basic Course) now don't get too crazy this is a gentleman's course, no obstacle courses, yelling, etc. Now for...
  8. CRNA Exam Review Course

    From peers, administrators, and current CRNAs, the consensus is that the Valley Review is the gold standard. Have not heard anything bad about the Valley review, some programs require students take the review course as part of the curriculum. Will ...
  9. PLEASE HELP-RN to BSN to CRNA?

    My best advice is don't mess around with an ADN, go straight to a four-year BSN program or as stated perviously an anccelerated BSN program. Upon grad I went to a four year program and finished before a peer did for a 2yr ADN program, why, she had ...

  11. Give me the edge & GRE help

    Kaplan Review Book and CD only. If you are deficient in Math and/or verbal, grab a focus book on GRE Math or Verbal for Test takers. All these books can be picked up at boards/barnes-n-noble. Would not recommend a structured course where you pay m...
  12. Choosing a CRNA program.

    One item I can't remember if it's mentioned in the sticky note at the top of this thread is: Ask the program how they do on the national certification exam, how is their performance. They should be able to provide you with at least the previous 5-10...
  13. Raising GPA after Nursing School

    What I believe programs look at is the Science GPA vs. fluff (ie nursing theory and your gen eds -art, etc.) Those are separated out and a Science GPA is developed. Now if you earn all C's in every nursing course, (med-surg, ob, psych etc), maybe ...

    Minimum requirements I believe and have seen list at schools: ACLS, PALS, CCRN yes having the alphabet soup is very nice, however that being said Experience in a Very high acuity setting sets one applicant apart from another. Example, a nurse who ...
