  1. associates to BSN, to CRNA

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to yerbluez's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yep. What s/he

  2. Who's going to Anesthesia school?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to jrec's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can never find anyone who has any information about this school! How is it going? I am thinking about moving to Portland but dont want to get comfy there and then have to relocate in 2 years when I...

  3. Doctorate for Entry into Nurse Anesthesia by 2025

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah... I wouldnt freak out about this. Some program are already switching their programs from MSNA to DNPNA... but since the MSNA programs are already long and comprehensive (almost doctorates in...

  4. My plan to become a CRNA. Is this logical?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to LeavingTeaching4RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Good choice- it will work out

  5. do you need to go to a nursing school to become a CRNA?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to SBCHEV99's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To the OP... In addition to doing a accelerated BSN, RTs also have the option of doing and ADN online through Excelsior, get your license and start working and do your RN-BSN concurrently (it is...

  6. Why SICU??

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to GregRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I would stay away from NICU if your *immediate* goal is to apply for CRNA school. If you plan on having a good number of years in before applying to CRNA school and want to spend some time there to...

  7. Is it okay to go to a community college?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to Chloe8043's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have to go with Bryan on this one... time and moneywise ADN seems to be the way to go, then concurrent BSN time with ICU experience so you're killing two birds with one stone and getting paid for...

  8. Did anyone here get accepted after graduating from a "non traditional" school?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am doing Excelsior ADN and am planning to do a "brick & mortar" RN-BSN program after. Most have a good amount of it as distance learning anyway. Some more than others. And if you can work at a...

  9. CRNA school with a baby?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to nynurse!'s topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Kristi RN- I am really truly sad for you. What an awful position to be put in... *especially after you had already started*. I agree with Proclivity- I would have some major resentment going on. The...

  10. Which Graduate courses to take?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to TxNurseRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A lot of places are going DNP with all their ANP (FNP, PNP, CRNA) programs... you would take the DNP requisites with all the other advanced practice nurse programs' students... and then concurrently...

  11. Nervous about telling co-workers

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I totally agree and recommend this! Takes a lot of stress out of the situation. This is what I probably plan to do when I'm accepted to CRNA school. I'll leave the job where I did my "one year" and...

  12. Nervous about telling co-workers

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah, I always feel bad for the guys. They have it rough usually with all the cattyness that goes on. Sure, not all nurses are like that... but I have to say the majority are... at least where I am in...

  13. Nervous about telling co-workers

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    On a more positive note......I got into CRNA school at Mercer/MCCG!!! Rock on baby! Congrats! How was your experience interviewing and applying as an RT? Did you get in first try, second try? How many...

  14. Any Respiratory Therapists Doing Excelsior?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to RRT2RN2CRNA's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am waiting to take the CPNE... but all the nursing managers that I like have already extended invitations to work in their units and have no qualms about how quickly I'll pick everything up. They...

  15. resp therapy vs RN

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to obeyacts2's topic in Pulmonary

    Yep - I have heard that's the way to get around it. I havent verified that with the Cali BON or Excelsior but it seems to make sense. So it really isn't that a big deal afterall. I think if my...

  16. resp therapy vs RN

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to obeyacts2's topic in Pulmonary

    Yes- the Board of Nursing in a few states (there's like 3 of them or something) won't take an Excelsior ADN- California being the major one. If you live in California- you'll have to do something...

  17. RRT needing some info

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to Mullis22's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hawaii RRTRN is right on the money! Good

  18. RRT Contemplates change to nursing w/accelerated program, any advice??

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to AllynRRT's topic in Nursing Career

    I am doing it- and it rocks. But I knew from the beginning that RT was a means to an end for me. No offense to RT lifers at all; RT is a great profession in an of itself. It's an individual...

  20. RRT vs RN as career choice?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to checkmate's topic in General Nursing

    I know your post is old... but if you're still on here I'm wondering How you made out? I'm an RT, and I fully recommend going that route if you don't want to wait to get into an RN program. Any q's,...

  21. Any Respiratory Therapists Doing Excelsior?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to RRT2RN2CRNA's topic in Online Distance Learning

    There is no formal clinical requirement for Excelsior ADN if you already have your BSRT. You have already done 1200+ hours of clinicals in a healthcare environment, and then you have your work...

  22. Any Respiratory Therapists Doing Excelsior?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to RRT2RN2CRNA's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For me- it's the money (#1) , broader scope of practice, more challenging work, the sheer number and geographic location of nursing jobs, and room for advancement. For most who are going this route...

  23. Any Respiratory Therapists Doing Excelsior?

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to RRT2RN2CRNA's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think for me it has less to do with time, and more to do with motivation. It's easy to slack if you don't *have* to go to class. I get around this by scheduling my tests religiously so I have a...

  24. RRT vs. RN

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to keaton90's topic in General Nursing

    LOL True! We only care about the waist up, baby! ... and possibly your leg if you have a DVT that's going to go to your lung... because then we have to make time to do vented CT angio transports. And...

  25. Nervous about telling co-workers

    RRT2RN2CRNA replied to RRTNeuroRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Ventjock- there are a bunch of us that are going that route. Are you one of us? If so, yay, because as everyone knows, RT's ROCK (not that I'm biased haha).... and also make great CRNAs from what I...
