    Ive heard that TCU doesnt include a clinical oral exam anymore. It's more of a meet and greet. I think that since they require ccrn they feel that more testing isnt necessary. :) They probably...
  3. Does anyone have any information on how all the pieces of the admission process quantifies into admission points? Ive heard that you get points for every piece of data and then admission is based upon...

    I always thought that neuro temps originated from injury to the brain as opposed to the spinal chord. Maybe someone could enlighten me. As for intervention Im not sure that Ive ever been completely...
  5. Fort Worth CRNA Programs

    Good luck on your GRE. I know youll pass the CCRN so absolutey no need to wish you luck there. The CNRN is one tough test. My respect to you on that one for sure. Im not on the addmission board...
  6. Hello all. I was wondering if anyone could spread some light on the roles and duties of CRNAs within a pain management role. Just what is it you pain mgmt guys do anyway? Im a 11yr RN hoping to get...
  7. Not sure that no ICU experience would be a good thing at all. I mean where would a nurse get a feel for vasoactive titrations? Not to mention working out all the jitters that comes with codes and...
  8. Agreed Suzanne. However Im not sure that the diagnosis of new onset diabetes can always be accurate for an acutely ill patient who is in the hospital. Gluconeogenisis is increased under stress and...

  12. How Many Applications?

    As many as you think you need to. I would suggest doing them in twos. Pick 4 schools, get two of them completed, and then complete the other two. It might be easier to send all the transcripts at...

  17. DNP required soon?

    Its the fact that word doctor in a hospital defines a role in the patients provision of care. If a non medical doctor walks up to a patient and introduces themselves as Dr so n so then more than...
  18. DNP required soon?

  19. Thanks for the reply/answer. Does the CRNA titrate the drips in surgery or some other member of the OR
  20. DNP required soon?

    Just thought I would add that the DNP program at TCU is 30 semester hours long. The admission requirement is that you have a masters and an APN certification. This makes me believe that a CRNA DNP...
  21. Seems that I saw some stats on a couple of schools where only 1 to 2 percent didnt graduate once starting a program. Those numbers seem pretty good to me. Im sure at least some of those dropped for...
  22. Nursing homes may not offer much in the terms of staff development unless its a huge mega corporation or linked to a hospital with sufficient resources. Unless you feel truly called to nursing home...

  24. Has anyone had to go to school with child support payments intact? Im paying 955 per month currently with one child. Not sure if I can swing crna school with that kind of payment. Im wondering if...
  25. How long did you study for CCRN?

    Nada. I figured 10 years of experience was preparation enough. It was
