  1. Excelsior RN-to-BSN Question(s)

    allthemadmen replied to allthemadmen's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Thanks, I appreciate it! I was wondering since I took the English Comp CLEP to get out of my RN program's English requirement, but Excelsior doesn't accept the English Comp CLEP, and requires...

  2. Standing during procedures

    allthemadmen replied to imh11621's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My husband, who's an audio engineer, often works in the OR doing simulcasts- he recently said the anesthesiologist is the only one who gets to sit! :) In my experience as a doula attending cesareans...

  3. Would you choose this path again?

    allthemadmen replied to allthemadmen's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks very much! I appreciate your heartfelt

  4. Would you choose this path again?

    allthemadmen posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That is, if you weren't already a nurse, would you go into med school to become an anesthesiologist? Is there that much more autonomy for the MDA? I know there are places where CRNAs are the only...

  5. RN to BSN online

    allthemadmen replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I have to say I assumed Excelsior would be regarded as a "diploma mill," and planned to do Stony Brook's RN-to-BSN program, but when I had a meeting at a prestigious medical college to discuss...

  6. Where do I go from here with EC?

    allthemadmen replied to R0xyg4l's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Definitely check with EC about what they will/will not accept as regards your own situation. I was all set to take English Comp with Essay, which my community college will accept for my EN 101-102...

  7. What grades CRNA schools are looking for?

    allthemadmen replied to Webbie's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The director of my local CRNA program told me that while they look, of course, at all aspects of a candidate's application, they are definitely looking for a GPA higher than 3.5. Don't give up- the...

  8. For those who are finally applying to CRNA school...

    allthemadmen replied to rlrcih's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am also "just" taking prereqs for my RN program, and hope I get in for next fall. But I did attend an information session for the CRNA program I want, and they invited me to make an appointment now...

  9. I suck

    allthemadmen replied to mel101478's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, what a drag. Your thread title isn't fair to yourself, though! It MUST be the instructor, because I am taking stats (on campus) and the teacher is so wonderful, the class seems really, really...

  10. ICU experience

    allthemadmen replied to studentrn1008's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    How quickly can a newly licensed RN get work in an ICU? (while we're on the subject!

  11. A&P II and Microbio

    allthemadmen replied to lvloverRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I have been wondering about taking A&P II and Micro together this spring also. The only other class I will take is Algebra. I DON'T work (though I have children and a traveling spouse) and...

  12. Human Anatomy / A&P I Club for Fall 2007

    allthemadmen replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad this is here...will help remind me I really should be studying! I'm in A&P I, and so far (knock wood) doing well (especially since half the class is apparently failing, but I think that's...

  13. Professional Goals Statement

    allthemadmen replied to jaylynnrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A lot of people are quite intelligent and dedicated, but have a hard time starting an essay with a broad topic or question, especially when it's important, like an application essay. It's like stage...

  14. ICU experience

    allthemadmen replied to studentrn1008's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The school in my area lists experience in order of preference; however, they do say they will consider an otherwise competetive candidate with less-than-preferred experience if the applicant can...

  15. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    allthemadmen replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    The issue is really that *nurses,* or health care providers of any type, should not discriminate against someone ever, ever, ever. Not "but, unless, except or however." Not in the open,nor in secret...

  16. How many sciences should I take at once?

    allthemadmen replied to FutureRN1908's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it also depends on the grades you will be satisfied with. Even if you can handle it under the best of circumstances, with such a heavy courseload one minor domestic emergency could bring the...

  17. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    allthemadmen replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    A midwife I know told me a client came to her (not pregnant, a well-woman client) complaining of similar symptoms to those described above...she found a condom *and* a tampon in there. Apparently the...

  18. For those who are finally applying to CRNA school...

    allthemadmen replied to rlrcih's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Get used to that feeling! It will plague you from now on, the rest of your life! It gets really bad in about ten years (35, which I am rapidly approaching)! If you don't already have a...

  19. Doctorate for Entry into Nurse Anesthesia by 2025

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

    I first heard about the 2015 date in the Wikipedia article on CRNAs, actually. The statement linked above, from AANA, has the 2025 date. I can see that being able to say "doctorate" can make a...

  20. Doctorate for Entry into Nurse Anesthesia by 2025

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

    I'm glad to see the date has been moved farther into the future -I hope it stays there! I have always planned on a doctorate anyway, but I would really like to begin my career after a master's...

  21. Florence Nightengale Pledge.

    allthemadmen replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in General Nursing

    Now that is something I'd be happy to recite every

  22. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    allthemadmen replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    So that's what elderly pts get up to when they're alone, huh? The old folks'

  23. GPA and Grades for CRNA

    allthemadmen replied to nursn2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree that those Fs probably won't raise any serious questions considering your subsequent performance. The admin dept at the school you want will probably give you ample opportunity to explain if...

  24. How many years of applying and how many schools?

    allthemadmen replied to jenj1928's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There's only one program in my area, and relocation is not an option, so when the time comes (I'm still working on the undergrad degree!), I'll just have to keep applying until I'm
