1. Unique Educational Situation: Do I Stand A Chance?

   whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in SRNA

   Defibin, First off, I love that name, lol. Second, that's what I am the most concerned with, how to phrase it while being honest but not whining about it. I genuinely have been worried about those grades since I graduated, I knew they'd impact the fu...

   loveanesthesia, That's super awesome and encouraging to hear, thank you. Not sure if I can afford to apply now (my family/bf might kill me if I go back to school yet AGAIN!) but it's definitely a dream and I hope to make it happen in the future. CRNA...

3. Getting accepted into CRNA school with a pass/fail BSN

   whitescrubsaremyfave replied to MeganC012's topic in SRNA

   I'm no expert by any means but I have seen some others suggest graduate level coursework to demonstrate your competence and ability. Alternatively I have seen others suggest taking undergrad physiology, ochem, stats, etc). I feel your struggle though...

   Hey go_jets82, Thank you for the kind words/encouragement. I have joined two commitees since starting here! Are you hoping to get into one of the remaining MSN programs in 2020? I'm a bit concerned this will make it even harder to get in with my less...

6. Purdue Global Exceltrack??!

   hi KGE, I did not. I went with WGU as it was a much more affordable option IMO! Took me about four months to complete.

   whitescrubsaremyfave posted a topic in SRNA

   Hey all, Recently I have become encapsulated with the role of the CRNA. I always thought I would want to work as an NP in the future, but I decided a few weeks ago to shadow a CRNA just to *make sure* it wasn't what I wanted. To my (unfortunate) surp...

9. Purdue Global Exceltrack??!

   whitescrubsaremyfave posted a topic in School Programs

   Hey everyone, I'm thinking about going to Purdue Global for my RN-BSN and then matriculating into the ACNP program they offer, part of which is offered in the Exceltrack format. This format is similar to that of WGU or Capella University, competency ...

10. Nursing school vs price? Which is more important?

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree with quality. Try to find reviews about your school or talk to current students to get a feel for the program. I wish I would have done that....we lose half our class every semester. Additionally, your experience during the program is much mo...

11. Will becoming a Nurse practitioner be enough for me?

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to Marcuscollins's topic in NP Students

    I was a pre-med student once...three years ago...now I'm a senior nursing student and I couldn't be happier with my choice. What really helped me was working at the hospital and seeing the healthcare team dynamic first hand, as well as helping me gai...

12. Confused

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in NP Students

    It's not hard hearing advice different from my beliefs, it is hard to hear it from someone who appears to not have experience with applicants that have previous degrees in the sciences outside of nursing. My cumulative undergraduate GPA is a 3.66 an...

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in NP Students

    I completed a rigorous graduate program as well as an undergraduate program. Actually, from my research, it appears there are a plethora of MSN in education programs that offer non bachelors prepared nurses the same exact program that they offer thei...

14. Confused

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in NP Students

    My biggest gripe is that I wonder what a BSN would really show...if it is anything like people make it out to be it is easy online classes about theory and leadership, which I have now taken at the undergraduate and graduate level already. It seems a...

15. Confused

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in NP Students

    I'm well aware it is a master's! I have been researching this prior to even beginning nursing school at all. I am comparing MSN in education then post masters NP cert to obtaining BSN then applying for the MSN FNP programs. :) And yes it was quite an...
