  1. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I thought I was the only ex-english major out

  2. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    No, it's not. This is what our public is learning about nursing as a profession. Not that I have an identity crisis, but we are not uneducated individuals. The practice doctorate is coming. If...

  3. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    :deadhorse...Not to, but I'm gonna... Senator Semantics has informed me that 'complexities' is probably the wrong word choice. I agree. Sorry. When you explain the basics, and they become confused...

  4. Swans question for a CRNA

    DIGNOUT replied to picuscott's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Well, sorta. I wish I had gotten that memo to forward to the cardiologists! Still don't see the new rage of peripheral CCO = too expensive? For now, in the teaching hospital, it's Swan

  5. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Because we underestimate the public we serve with this missed opportunity to educate them, your contention is "just not tell them?" My goodness, how do you think they will understand the complexities...

  6. Doctorate for Entry into Nurse Anesthesia by 2025

    DIGNOUT replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The operative here is "entrance" into the profession. So, as things are going, nurses entering anesthesia in 2025 will have a doctorate to begin practice. The title of CRNA is a matter of licensure,...

  7. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

    DIGNOUT replied to jrec's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    VCU August 2008! Woohoo!

  8. Are there BS programs to become a RN Anesthetist?

    DIGNOUT replied to TonyTovar's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey Tony, If it is more interesting for you the "medicinal" route (read: medicine), perhaps look into anesthesiology. RN "duties" continue into anesthesia practice (read: CRNA). Nursing is the...

  9. Need Suggestions

    DIGNOUT replied to Trolloc63's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Friend of mine is a chief CRNA. Entry into nursing practice = LPN. Go for

  10. Virginia Commonwealth University

    DIGNOUT replied to crs543's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have an interview with VCU Sept. 20(!!!), and currently work at VCUHS. I have learned much from my experiences there, and can account for its high quality; I wouldn't trade my job for any of the...

  11. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    So you conclude nurses may use "Doctor" as

  12. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Dentists at my institution introduce themselves as "Doctor" if they are visiting a patient on consult in CICU. Are they misleading

  13. CRNA Questions

    DIGNOUT replied to gapeach427's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    1. Depends on your program... ask them before applying. Generally speaking, adult ICU is preferred. 2. Not usually. 3. Blue

  14. Do CRNA programs favor male applicants?

    DIGNOUT replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    To say sexual orientation has anything to do with caregiver roles, feminity, etc. is wrong. Try not to make such judgements when you haven't the "homosexual experience" to back up your suppositions....

  15. Do CRNA programs favor male applicants?

    DIGNOUT replied to Alpha13's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    As a male nurse, I am shocked by your hostile degree of gender bias and sad generalizations. You must not be a man because you have a truly limited, elementary understanding of our "species," lending...

  16. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Correction to my previous post: DNAP coursework etc. at VCU will begin January

  17. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    You are correct... the first DNAP will be offered at VCU. The first class has not yet met, however, and will begin this month. Thus, no DNAPs just

  18. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    dfk... I appreciate your hair-splitting. You are correct- no mention of the DNAP by the OP... and yes, the DNAP is very different. As a matter of fact, it's so new, no one has one yet... Such...

  19. DNP required soon?

    DIGNOUT replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Though I'm quite sure this debate will continue, I'll cash in my two cents... The goal of the DNAP is to improve patient safety and the provision of effective anesthesia, correct? Correct. Rather...

  20. PANA vs Pennsylvania Society of Anesthesiologist

    DIGNOUT replied to CRNANUPE_2B's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Very, very well

  21. Someone please educate "College Board" ....

    DIGNOUT replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Per http://www.collegeboard.com/csearch/majors_careers/profiles/majors/51.1604.html, the College Board states: "Major: Nurse Anesthetist This program is for registered nurses (RNs) who want to...

  22. All CRNAs need to READ this

    DIGNOUT replied to janecristensen's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Four words for this post: Beating a dead

  23. People who took GREs.....

    DIGNOUT replied to jfk6668's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wish there existed a correlation as predictable as yours. I guess if you are a natural-born standardized test taker, then, yes, your scores *may* correlate. I am. Did mine? Nope. Also, we are...

  24. Question of the day

    DIGNOUT replied to zozzy777's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Perhaps some of us are a bit cynical and elitist in our assumptions, not denying that anesthesia school demands the best of the best. We must consider those with Bachelor degrees in other disciplines...

  25. CRNA will become PhD?

    DIGNOUT replied to hojimma's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Correction/FYI: the DNAP does not necessarily "dumb" down anything. The DNAP that is pending approval at VCU will be above and beyond the MSNA. The combined MSNA/DNAP will grant a Master's and...
