Hi All, My plan is to attend Anesthesia school and PhD either together or later. I haven't decided what to do for PhD but I like nursing research. That aside, I was surfing the net and found out that, University of Pennsylvania, offers a MSN/PhD pr...

anybody applying to university of penn? i learned that, the program is very good but quite expensive. any vibes on interview or application material? thanks

What is your position on this Bill? Apparently, Bill was suppose to contain provisions to ensure that the services of Resident Anesthesiologist and SRNA, are paid for. I know the president vetoed the bill but it was overide by both the house and sena...

Hi All, I know this may seem like stupid questions, I am really concern. 1)How did you incorporate the fact that you have shadowed a CRNA into your application. Was it by mentioning in your personal statement, resume or you only mentioned during t...

Thanks for your response. You all have cleared most of my doubts. I think you input will positively influence my application and hopefully get me admitted. Once more thanks :loveya:

Here is my take on it. There are many advantages to have a BSN, first you can choose to become a CRNA. Secondly if you choose to attend Med School you can work some weekends as an RN. Even prior to attending Med school while gaining nursing experienc...

That's very true. I was inquiring about ICU experience requirement for Anesthesiologist Assistants. PAs may have a lot of Patho Phys, and Anatomy, but remember in the CRNA programs you have to do Advanced Patho Phys, Pharm, and other advanced Scienc...

For many years to come, nursing will remain an underpaid profession because of this type of debates. Very soon hospitals will start linking CRNAs and ICU experience and that will drive the CRNA salary scale. Then the next thing will be unions and so ...

:heartbeatThis has been a very interesting topic. When I read the first few threads the first thing which came to my mind were the words of my one "seasoned" nurse on my floor. When I started she criticized the management for accepting new grads dir...

I don't have much to offer, but here is my 2 cents contribution. First, I will like to disagree with others about the school's prestige. I think it will matter if you intend to obtain Doctorate education, and/or go into research. IN the research worl...

As a general role, include just the essential on your resume. This doesn't mean it should be scanty. Remember with a good resume, one should be able to evaluate your potential. To be more specific, more writers recommend you add a statement at the bo...

I work for the NSMC (Salem Hosptal). It's good place, away from the city but not too far away. there is equally Beverly Hospita, Union Hospital, Melrose wakefield among others. Hope that helps

I think introducing myself as I am going to be your Nurse usually works for me. In most cases I am doing the introduction to family members since I work in the ICU.

I did not know TWU has a CRNA program. I know there have one of the oldest PhD programs.

Thanks all your inputs have definitely been very helpful. I guess I will check them out. I learned that from 2015, CRNA will be a Doctorate program just like PharmD. So I think that is what VCU is working towards. Thanks

As far a the market being over flooded, I don't think that should be a concern for anyone. Medicine has never been over flooded and no MD thinks it will be. I think even if the market if flooded the CRNAs and Nurses in general should advocate for the...
