  1. What are my chances post

    ProgressiveThinking replied to Nolander's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you apply to enough schools you will get in somewhere with your stats. The only red flag to me is the "level 3 trauma center" designation of your hospital. Everything else looks good though. Are...

  2. FNP Oversaturation

    ProgressiveThinking replied to brinksta's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    AANP - NP Fact Sheet 23,000 new NPs were produced between 2015 and 2016. That's pretty insane. Why doesn't the AANP put a cap on that number in order to prevent the profession from shooting itself in...

  3. What kind of GPA do I need to get into Nurse Practitioner school?

    ProgressiveThinking replied to ananana123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    NP schools take anybody with a RN degree. I've witnessed this first hand with my coworkers. 23,000 new NPs between 2015 and 2016? Pretty sure there's a school that will take you. AANP - NP Fact

    ProgressiveThinking replied to pkstien's topic in Government, Military

    Hey everyone. Current SRNA here. I almost took the USAGPAN route, but decided it wasn't for me. Still considering the reserve when I graduate though. Not for ALL, but more MOST application cycles, if...

    ProgressiveThinking replied to cticunurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Dedicate at least an hour or two a day to your family, and spend at least one night a week with your SO and/or children. It's very doable. I had major cold feet as well, but even now while I'm in...

  6. California ICU RN Job availabilities

    ProgressiveThinking replied to NadaHin's topic in California Nursing

    Why don't you just stay travel and make more $$? You would be better off in school. I'm poor student now and wish I saved up more $$ prior to starting. The majority of my classmates all seemed to be...

  7. West Coast university - any other schools that offer fast track no waitlist?

    ProgressiveThinking replied to futurenurselauren's topic in California Nursing

    Southern California RN here. I've worked with plenty of West Coast University grads. I think most of nursing is learned on the job, so West Coast is by all means not a bad school to lay the foundation...

  8. DNP GPA requirements

    ProgressiveThinking replied to cynice's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

  9. stats

    ProgressiveThinking replied to labradorlove01's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  10. MSN vs DNP

    ProgressiveThinking replied to TBLV4's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    MSN. You earn money sooner and you're going to be paying less student loan $ back. Afterwards you can go to a school like Touro University which allows you to complete the DNP online in 1 year for...

  11. Can you fail Nursing School once and still be a CRNA

    ProgressiveThinking replied to fall7timesstandup8's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    With a 3.0 you have an uphill battle, but it can be done if you get a 4.0 (or close) on your BSN. Retake any science courses you received low grades in and get As and then if time permits take...

  12. How old is too old?

    ProgressiveThinking replied to Tangielee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm merely in the didactic portion of a front loaded program, and have yet to start clinical. There are some people in their 40's in my class. Everyone seems to be doing just fine. If anything, we...

    ProgressiveThinking replied to cticunurse21's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  24. crna BSN GPA vs cumulative GPA

    ProgressiveThinking replied to simbaman's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think you have a solid chance if you beef up the ICU experience, get CCRN/CMC, and knock the GRE out of the park. If I were a PD I would CERTAINLY hold a 3.1 GPA from a bio degree in higher regard...
