  1. Online BSN programs for someone without a nursing background?

    HenryH posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I am interested in attending an online BSN program; I don't have a background in nursing. I have heard of the University of Wisconsin at Osh Kosh's online BSN program and was wondering if there were...

  2. Online BSN programs for someone without a nursing background?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That's what I thought at first, but then the other day, I found out about Texas A&M's program as well as the University of Texas at Arlington's program. Apparently, they are both online and *may*...

  3. Opportunities for an ACNP with RNFA certification?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks. Since you don't do surgical assisting, could you explain how your work managing orthopedic surgery patients as an NP is different from managing them as an RN? Are you essentially used...

  4. Opportunities for an ACNP with RNFA certification?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I have done a few job searches on the usual websites (e.g., Indeed.com, etc.) for open ACNP positions and was surprised to find that not many are posted for my area or the surrounding area. On the...

  5. Opportunities for an ACNP with RNFA certification?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    No, your post wasn't vague at all; in fact, thanks for giving such an in-depth response. At this point, the primary advantages of going through a direct-entry NP program over a PA program are centered...

  6. Opportunities for an ACNP with RNFA certification?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks; when you say that there are many "what-ifs" with direct-entry NP programs, would you mind expanding on what you are referring to (aside from contention amongst fellow NP's and RN's regarding...

  7. Opportunities for an ACNP with RNFA certification?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks again for the information; I know what you mean about not having a crystal ball to predict the outcome of our career choices. One other thing -- have you heard of physician groups/hospitals...

  8. Opportunities for an ACNP with RNFA certification?

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thank you for responding with that information, Juan. Yeah, I was actually looking at UAB's program in particular. Do you know if ACNP's who also hold RNFA certification usually take "standard" ACNP...

    HenryH replied to HenryH's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Quick

  10. Chances? Wait 1 or 2 years to apply?

    HenryH replied to tsicuRN1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congrats on getting accepted to CRNA school! Do you mind if I ask how you managed to get accepted while you were still in your BSN program (I'm assuming you didn't have any ICU nursing experience,...

  11. CRNA willing to allow me to shadow in or near Savannah, GA

    HenryH replied to snbell's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just out of curiosity, what is the name of this program? I thought all CRNA programs had to require the min. year of ICU

  12. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

    HenryH posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi, My name is Henry, and this fall I'll be an entering college freshman. I'm contemplating whether to go for a BSN or take the pre-medical route. Lifestyle comfortability is important to me --...

  13. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

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

    Patricosuave, thanks for your post and insight. Since I started this thread, I have completed almost 4 years of college and will graduate either this May or during the summer. I think my (and...

  14. Trends in CRNA Compensations in Future

    HenryH replied to Manurse715's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    So you actually WANT your current/future income to be reduced because there just isn't a reason to have to make that much

  15. CRNA Part Time Opportunities

    HenryH replied to Southbound's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    This is just great... so it looks like anesthesia may become the next perfusion in terms of career viability. Perfusionist jobs were once plentiful and high-paying, but after a drop in the number of...

  16. CRNA Part Time Opportunities

    HenryH replied to Southbound's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well, is anything being done to reduce the numbers of new CRNAs? Or are the schools determined to graduate thousands of CRNAs every year until 99% of jobs are filled and the new grads are

  17. CRNA Part Time Opportunities

    HenryH replied to Southbound's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    when you say that the CRNA shortage is essentially over, are you implying that job opportunities and salaries for CRNAs will be decreasing over the next few years? will it be difficult for new CRNA...

  18. CRNA profession saturation and new graduate CRNA?

    HenryH replied to aukewus's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Any updates on this? I have also heard/read about a potential oversupply of

  19. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

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

    The same thing? All I kept asking was if the CC's chem. class counted as principles of chem., because I think it's a survey course,

  20. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

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

    Oh, believe me, I'm soaking in the answers to my questions (I just obviously have a nagging concern about the community college deal). If I hadn't posted here, I wouldn't have found out that I need...

  21. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

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

    Yeah, that bombshell (the CRNA pre-reqs) hit me earlier today. If community college is acceptable to CRNA/AA schools, I'd like to take the pre-med courses during my spare time (probably May/summer) at...

  22. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

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

    Maybe an Anesthesiologist Assistant course would be more of what I'm looking for (I'd like to continue with schooling right out of college, if possible). In the event that I choose to be an AA...

  23. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

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

    Hmmm...I was hoping to be able to be able to get in with just a single year of ICU work. Will this not be feasible by the time I'd be applying to CRNA school (around

  24. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

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

    Well, I have to take introductory statistics in the BSN program anyways, so that won't be a problem. But would CRNA schools accept community college courses for pre-reqs? I thought about taking them...

  25. Job/salary outlook for CRNAs in 2014?

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

    Wait -- you have to take organic chemistry for most CRNA schools? So my school's nursing BSN won't be sufficient? I'm confused -- I thought a BSN program outlined your entire college schedule, so how...
