    whitescrubsaremyfave posted a topic in School, College 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...

    whitescrubsaremyfave posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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*...

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

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

    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...

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

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to MeganC012's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

    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...

  10. Confused

    whitescrubsaremyfave posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hey everyone... I am having a hard time trying to decide my path after graduation from my accelerated ADN RN program in fall 2018. A little background....I hold a BSHS degree that I finished in three...

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

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

    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....

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

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to Marcuscollins's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  13. Confused

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  14. Confused

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  15. Confused

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  16. Confused

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  17. BSN or Associates Degree

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to raynpetal's topic in General Students

    I find it kind of interesting that only the BSNs are saying you need a BSN...in OH I promise you any hospital experience you have is much more important then having a bachelors degree. They might make...

  18. Confused

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to whitescrubsaremyfave's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for your input! I was also considering doing a one year MSN in education program because I already have another bachelors and I've found a number of programs that will allow me to do it....

  19. Question about nursing jobs and being fired

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to Prospectivenurse2018's topic in General Students

    I know in my hospital system, there is specific "rehire" policy in that the manager, once you resign, marks you as "recommended for re-hire" or "not recommended for re-hire". I would call HR and ask...

  20. Nursing versus PA route due to set-backs

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to Dustin20's topic in General Students

    It sounds like the PA you shadowed was quite autonomous. I truly believe this has more to do with who the supervising physician is, and the individual's level of expertise, moreso then PA vs. NP,...

  21. Nursing versus PA route due to set-backs

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to Dustin20's topic in General Students

    It seems to be a regional thing. I know some ADN programs in my area are more competitive then the BSN programs. It appears to just

  22. Nursing versus PA route due to set-backs

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to Dustin20's topic in General Students

    It sounds like nursing would be a good fit for you! Just don't think that nursing is a stepping stone, because it is very challenging, just different then the challenges you're used to. The content...

  23. Is spending $80,000 on a private ABSN school a waste

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    I was going to pursue the same route, and ultimately decided on a local community college's accelerated ADN program. In my opinion, yes, ABSN is a complete waste. You cannot work at all in those types...

  24. Nursing versus PA route due to set-backs

    whitescrubsaremyfave replied to Dustin20's topic in General Students

    I was also a pre-PA student that switched to nursing, although my situation was different. I worked in an ICU in a downtown hospital and once I didn't get in the first time applying to PA school, I...
