  7. University of Cincinnati

    beedog13 replied to jdiekhof's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Pinsandneedles, I am starting @UC this Fall. It has nothing to do with the administration as a whole;it has to do with what I consider to be a bit of an antiquated process. I think UC has enjoyed...

  8. University of Cincinnati

    beedog13 replied to jdiekhof's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    jdiekhof, Considering that you only get 3 shakes at impressing the admissions board with your references: 1) Get one from an ICU nurse manager type. 2)Get one from an Intensivist/Pulmonologist or...

    beedog13 replied to ICUdropout's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ICUdropout, Dude, again, not necessarily dissing on Westminster--as I said I could have very easily ended up starting there Fall '08 and would have taken on the same mindset of accepting a...

  12. Westminster?

    ICUDROPOUT, That may have been a bad link sorry--here it is: http://www.usnews.com/articles/education/best-graduate-schools/2008/03/26/health-methodology.html

  13. Westminster?

    beedog13 replied to ICUdropout's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ICUDROPOUT, The methodology used by US News & World Report actually has nothing to do with performance of graduates in healthcare fields (including all MSN's--it is possible that the methodolgy...

  18. Seriously considering CRNA - Need input

    beedog13 replied to AG08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Armynse, Utah is awfully pretty--the culture is a little...shall we say...umm...different. We have been here for about a year and a half--moved from Idaho for my wife to attend law school @ U. of...

  19. Seriously considering CRNA - Need input

    beedog13 replied to AG08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey fellow posters, I am glad that everyone feels strongly about whatever they are doing, I really did not want to add fuel to/start an arguement etc. The "autonomy" I was talking about has nothing to...

  20. Seriously considering CRNA - Need input

    beedog13 replied to AG08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    AG08, Once again, Armynse makes several valuable points. I will be CPT 0-3E when I start. There is a huge difference between O-1E and O-3E--even in drill pay. Which brings to mind there is a...

  21. Seriously considering CRNA - Need input

    beedog13 replied to AG08's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    utmemsrna, good for you, U. Tenn. memphis? There are alot of programs that don't--hence the broad advice. It is subject to the whims of the schools--the vast majority (19 of 20 or so) I checked into...

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

    beedog13 replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    By the way, I also met a single father non-trad student from Idaho who went to your program in AZ. He got into nursing because he was displaced from his job--I think he went through his ADN on JTPA...

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

    beedog13 replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Nah, as is the rule with all programs: You have to do some homework on them before you make decisions you cannot change...match what you have vs. what they want (if they want what you don't have and...
