OP I could swear you are talking about the same situation I see in my local area. We have one ADN program in my area (that I attend) and a BSN program that is an extension from a university a few...

So I recently accepted a summer job opportunity for nursing students in my area to extern in my local hospital. I will be working in our combined ICU/CCU. Don't get me wrong, I wanted this area as...

What other kind of interview questions did they ask?

Why, if you dont mind me asking, did you bomb the interview? I'm located in KY and if I ever went to CRNA school either the military or Murray would be my first choices.

Fall 2013 is my final semester. Yes, there is in fact an externship at my hospital for nursing students during the summer. I will most definitely be applying with hopes of going to the ICU/CCU....

No, only one hospital in my area. That's actually the reason why I didn't get the chance to do an ICU observation day. A school from out of town, knowing that the only hospital near them is the one...

Actually, if I wanted to have a preceptorship in the ICU next semester I CANNOT have a job as a CNA or anything in the unit I want to precept in. My school states that if you work as a CNA or tech in...

No, we don't even get to go to the ER in my program. The only chance I have now to get into the ICU before I graduate is my preceptorship next semester

Yeah I would absolutely love to have an ICU preceptorship next semester. I guess I was thinking that maybe this observation would help, in whatever little way, to get me a preceptorship position...

A little background: I'm just starting the final year of my nursing program. Our clinicals allow for us to have certain observation sites are various hospital units, one of them being the ICU. I have...

I empathize with others in a situation like mine. I fee both glad and unfortunate that there are others who share a story similar to mine. I want to go to graduate school and I know grades are...

Well, last semester my nursing courses were 9 credit hours. This semester is 10 credit hours. That's another thing that really got me concerned. Last semester we had one class, fundamentals, that was...

Yeah I first brought up the issue last semester when near everyone in our class made out with a C in a 9 credit hour class. I stuck it out then, but now that history is repeating itself (now even...

It's just as difficult to get into the BSN program in my area as it is to get into the ADN program. All the of the programs in my area are competitive and only the star students get in either...

You've already read my thread, but I'm in my second semester at my local community college. Currently passing my med/surg class, good teacher. Clinicals are awesome, fun and I learn a lot. I, along...

and I don't get that. How can we work equally as hard as the other program, yet they come out with A's and B's, and we are just happy to pass. Do graduate committees not care how "difficult/strict"...

That's the thing, I absolutely do want to go beyond a BSN, whether it be NP, PA, CNS, CRNA etc.

Thanks for the comments. Why are some programs like this and how do they continue to operate? And yes, that is my main concern: do I want to delay myself two years? If I was to continue in my current...

Wow, this must be a coincidence, but I just created a thread loosely similar to this one. Honestly I don't know what is up with community college nursing programs recently. If you would read my...

Okay, first a little backstory: I am currently in my second semester of my local community college's ADN program. My community college is one of two nursing programs in my local area, the other one...

what do you mean he knows theories more?

I'm guessing he/she had a 4.0 GPA, perfect GRE, no family/dependencies, high-acuity ICU experience, and good letters of recommendation, all on top of knowing what they wanted to do from the get go?

how do you get into CRNA school at 23?!?!?

Questions is in the title, I'm just wondering what the average age range for students starting there programs are

Are you serious?
