1. PA to CRNA

   Voodoo7 replied to mongo73's topic in SRNA

   Seriously? Just google what you typed above! Columbia's School of Nursing web site is not hard to find. It's nice you are helping your wife, but come on!

2. Any other alternates at UNE?

   Voodoo7 replied to TraumaSICU's topic in SRNA

   The OP was talking about the CRNA program, not the BSN. Hope you hear good news!

4. Less competative admissions

   Voodoo7 replied to TxNurseRN's topic in SRNA

   Perhaps your thread title should have been "What Can I Do To Make Myself More Competitive". My advice is to get all the certifications you can, like get the CMC and the CSC to go along with your CCRN. Check out the AACN website for more info about th...

5. Mountain State University CRNA. Anybody attending or know anything about?

   Voodoo7 replied to Jordana's topic in SRNA

   They are currently on probation, and not allowed to admit a class until the probation is lifted. I know people in the program - my advice from listening to them is to go elsewhere.

6. TCU Fall '09

   Voodoo7 replied to gasmaster's topic in SRNA

   The OP is talking about the Nurse Anesthesia program at TCU.

7. Advice Please

   Voodoo7 replied to desitiger's topic in SRNA

   Well, it depends. How much experience do you have? In what kind of ICU? Because of your GPA issues, you will need more than 1 year to be competitive. Have you done extensive shadowing? Do you know a fair amount about CRNAs (including political issues...

8. Accepted FNP student at UCLA?

   Voodoo7 replied to lilboboxox's topic in Post Graduate

   Ummmm...the OP was from 2006. Don't think you'll see him/her there! Congrats on getting into UCLA!

9. Do you have to take Nursing Research and Theory Classes?

   Voodoo7 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in SRNA

   You'd be hard pressed to find a person who loves these classes, but if this is one of your major reasons you are thinking CRNA over NP all I can say is......wow.

10. Need your advice, im in nursing school now...

    Voodoo7 replied to Shopperella's topic in SRNA

    I got into VCU, and I did not have a stats class. I echo the recommendation to meet with the PD of the program. Good luck.

11. Barking up the wrong tree?

    Voodoo7 replied to 4amcoffee's topic in SRNA

    Jo Dirt, As you have not yet completed a major part of CRNA school admission requirements (ICU experience), let me tell you something you might hear frequently in the unit - YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW. Stick with your NP program.

12. Does LTAC count as critical care?

    Voodoo7 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in LTAC

    I really don't see how you can call Karen's post helpful while discounting the others. I don't think LTAC is just a "nursing home" and I am sure it takes specialized skills to work there. However, if your original question was "Does it count as CC ex...

13. Does LTAC count as critical care?

    Voodoo7 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in LTAC

    OK, maybe offense wasn't the right word. But your "Thanks for your compassionate answer" reeked of passive aggressiveness. It seemed a strange thing to post to someone who succinctly answered your question.

14. To BSN, or not to BSN... your opinions please.

    Voodoo7 replied to rokclimbah's topic in SRNA

    You would be wrong. Some programs accept a BS in a "related science". No BSN needed. The OP should check with the schools he/she is interested in.

15. Does LTAC count as critical care?

    Voodoo7 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in LTAC

    If you really take that much offense to what cessnadriver wrote, you are gonna have a long road ahead of you in anesthesia school. He/She answered your question, no frills attached. Sorry if the answer wasn't what you were looking for. No matter what...
