  1. Case Western! anyone else starting august

  3. I'm applying to Akron university in Ohio, it appears that they have a bunch of core classes they want you to take - I found 1 (really old) thread with 2 responses on Akron U, I wanted to hear from...
  4. Yea they postponed the
  5. just check out books from your library. they all come with practice cds. no need to spend $$ on
  6. Another GPA question!

    Like swans and LVADs, (IMO) it helps you get a really good grip on understanding hemodynamics; especially in patients in cardiogenic shock. its a learning tool - its about advancing your knowledge of...
  7. Another GPA question!

    your GPA is fine GPA will help you get an interview, but in my opinion really its how you spend your time in the ICU that matters to them. Stuff like the CCRN, experience with balloon pumps,...
  8. Your GPA is excellent; if you pass the CCRN you will have no problems getting into a school. Many schools don't even require the GRE if your GPA is above a certain level. The fact that you are from...
  9. Just wondering. I'm starting an MSN CRNA school next year....since the core nursing classes transfer I was thinking about getting my FNP after the CRNA. The reason is, my wife and I are going to be...
  10. I would tend to agree. I read rage's link, i'm not so sure that ARNP can be used to imply that the CRNA could then switch over and work ED as a nurse practitioner. From what I got from that ARNP/APN...
  11. C's get degrees

    its an excuse I used and it can come back and bite you in the butt if you're looking for an advanced degree. Stats is hard until you realize it's basic algebra cloaked in important sounding names....
  12. Case, Akron, Youngstown

    hey foreverLaur, my undergrad was a BSN - for the first few years I really didn't put much effort into school, so my GPA was Once I decided to go to CRNA school I took 12 credits of graduate human...
  13. Take a shot at med school. you've got all the prerequisites, might as well study for a month or so and give a go at the MCAT. You could do the CRNA thing. A guy I work with is a RRT, but he got his...
  14. Thanks for the responses, guys. Thats the plan for right now...Case Western's FNP program is online, so I'd be able to do it and work at Cleveland Clinic as a CRNA (or so I hope,
  15. Part time ICU

    I did every weekend
  16. RN to MD?

    Both PA and NP are great choices, and from what I understand in actual clinical practice there isn't that much difference between the two (although I think this has been debated ad nauseum). In this...
  17. DNP Article

    I agree with you 100%. The problem is, DNP's are being sold as physician equals (which is the impression anyone who reads that article will get), when clearly DNP's are not when it comes to true...
  18. RN to MD?

    not entirely true. you'd need 2 physics classes, 2 math classes, and organic chemistry if you havent done it in order to do well on the mcat. easily achieved along with regular undergrad bsn classes,...
  19. DNP Article

    I agree with PediASL. There is no need for another academia doctorate which does not do anything to expand clinical scope of practice and minimally enhances bedside clinical abilities. Titles mean...
  20. Case, Akron, Youngstown

    Hey, Zozzy, do you have any advice for what I should be doing now? like should I take a core MSN class like research or something to get it out of the way? Or should I just work extra at work and save...
  21. Case, Akron, Youngstown

    glad to hear it! I chose Cleveland Clinic as my clinical site :-D I'm incredibly excited about starting next
  22. Case, Akron, Youngstown

    I've heard akrons interview process is really hard...kind of out of proportion with their actual program, which (from what i've heard from different people) is so-so I was accepted into Case (my first...
  23. hey, congrats! I was accepted into the fall 2008 Case Western class too; currently getting our house ready to sell so we can move to cleveland
  24. Good for you! From everything i've heard, ICU nursing and CRNA work is apples and oranges, so they teach you what you need to know from the ground up
