  1. My husband might be getting a new job in Tulsa. I haven't been there yet and am wondering what it's like, what nursing is like there, pay, etc. I read some threads that said new grads start around $18...
  2. I am currently in an ADN program (only 6 more months left!) and plan to start the RN-BSN program about 10 months after I graduate. I already have a BS, so I really only need the nursing classes. I am...
  3. I know I should be happy and just get on with my life since Pearson's quick results said I passed, but I'm still not in my state's BON. I live in NC and other people were given their license # within...
  4. please, for all that is good, help me!

    I agree, forget the LPN. Most hospitals don't even hire LPNs anymore. If you can't do the BSN right away because of money or time, get your ADN then do RN-BSN. I got my ADN and then worked full-time...
  5. TCU Applicants...........

    Did anyone get into the DNP
  6. TCU Applicants...........

    Congrats!! I got my email today too, going to Tulsa, my #1
  7. I think most schools require the GRE within the last 5 years, at least the ones I applied to. I think that's because the scores are only available for 5 years from the testing site. I waited until I...
  8. TCU Applicants...........

    How'd your interview go today Loveseacraft? Did they say anything about when they are making decisions? Last week I heard by the end of the month, but the waiting is already killing
  9. TCU Applicants...........

    I got my TCU invite today too!! Dec 3, now to make the arrangements and prepare more for the interview
  10. TCU Applicants...........

    I'm waiting with you
  11. Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

    I finally took the exam and passed today with a 115 !! Thanks to all who advised to use the PASS CCRN CD and Laura Gasparis videos....I used those in addition to the pharmacology section at the end of...
  12. One of the schools I'm applying to wants a letter of recommendation from the director of the school of nursing. The problem is I never met the director of the school of nursing from my RN-BSN or ADN...
  13. Anyone else studying for CCRN exam?

    Anyone know where I can get just the Pass CCRN CD? I bought the book (with the CD) last year, but pushed taking the CCRN back d/t knee surgery, took the GRE, and moved twice. Now I'm studying again,...
  14. UNC Chalotte

    I was planning on applying to UNCC for next fall (until we moved several states away), which is affilitated with Carolinas Medical Center (CMC). I worked at CMC for 2 years and shadowed a CRNA there....
  15. RA pressure vs CVP

    I've always heard CVP referring to RA pressures, including the research I've read. I just recently moved and when I called the RA a CVP (talking about the proximal port of a PA catheter) I was...
  16. Transfer to SICU?

    I'm not a CRNA or CRNA student yet, but here's my 2 cents....I would transfer to SICU if possible. I worked full time nights and did my RN-BSN, and switched from CV step-down to STICU (in a different...
  17. moving from Charlotte, NC to Tulsa, OK?

    Well, I've been in Tulsa for almost 2 months, and just started at Saint Francis a few weeks ago. So far so good. I miss Charlotte more than I thought I would, but everyone here seems really nice and...
  18. RA pressure vs CVP

    I figured it was just a preference, or whether one is taught using RAP vs CVP. This particular nurse was adamant that it was RAP and that to call it CVP was wrong, although the values for CVP and RAP...
  19. moving from Charlotte, NC to Tulsa, OK?

    Thanks for the replies. My husband and I visited Tulsa for 4 days the week before Thanksgiving, and he's been living there since the end of Nov. I'm stuck packing and working out my final days here in...
  20. I don't know what GRE requirements for U of Pitt are, but I know people who have gotten in with not so great GRE scores. One just got into UNCC with a score in the 900s, and she didn't do any portion...
  21. We might be relocating due to my husband's job to Tulsa, OK. Of course, OK doesn't have ANY CRNA schools. Uggh! I was just about to send in my app at UNCC when we found out, so now I probably have to...
  22. moving from Charlotte, NC to Tulsa, OK?

    Anyone? I can't believe no one has any input on
  23. I don't know about online programs, but I've just started researching the distance option at TCU, where you have to attend the first fall semester in Texas, then can go to a designated site to finish....
  24. This might sound silly, but for those that have applied to 2 or more schools, do you give the people filling out your recommendations forms for each school? I had only planned on applying to 1 or 2...
  25. I'm curious as to how many hours of shadowing a CRNA people have done. I have just gotten vague answers when I've asked the contact people at our program--there's no required amount. Also, how long...
