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

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

    My information comes from Case Western Reserve University. I'll be sure to call them and University Hospitals up and let them know they are providing false information. Is the job...

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

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

    Legally, both are required to work under a doctor. However, sometimes a CRNA can get away with working under any doctor, not necessarily an anesthesiologist. An AA is legally required to work under...

    foreverLaur replied to LfmVigilo's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Burnt2 - what is your undergraduate and graduate degrees in? I am currently a psychology major planning to enter an accelerated BSN program. My cumulative GPA will be around a 3.1 so I am worried...

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

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

    An AA program requires prerequisites very very similar to medical school. All you need is those prerequisites, MCAT or GRE (varies by program), and a bachelors degree. In practice, CRNA = AA....

    foreverLaur posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Can anyone help me find the closest program to my area for a CNA/PCA/STNA training program? I know a nursing home in my home city will train, but they require you to work there immediately following...

  6. Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

    foreverLaur posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The University of Akron is getting an Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Program (I think it just got accredited). I have this feeling this may be too good to be true... so I am just checking....

  7. How to make the transition from accounting job to nursing field

    foreverLaur replied to MidLifeRN2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did it on a much smaller scale. I worked for Ernst & Young for two years as an intern and then turned down a full time offer (which was very hard) to pursue nursing. It is hard and a huge...

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I volunteer on the general medicine/pulmonary floor of a children's hospital, so hopefully that will give me some insight as I interact with both doctors and nurses on a daily basis. I really want to...

  9. NNP vs. PNP or even FNP (help I'm stuck!!)

    foreverLaur replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I vote for PNP personally because while i LOVE the NICU and babies... I think I would get a little bit bored after a while not being able to talk to them!! I like the kids because they are so cute and...

    foreverLaur replied to delvenia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    that is a joke, right? i made $26/hr as an intern when I was a sophomore in college working in business. my starting offer was significantly more than that. that is also about what my mom makes as an...

  12. A variety of questions

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying to the two accelerated BSN programs in my area (I can only afford it if I live with my parents or stay where I am now) as well as this acclereated program. It does prepare you for the...

  14. LPN to bridge RN

    foreverLaur replied to RNtobe24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With how competitive RN programs are, I'd go for the LPN first. Most schools I have seen require a 2.5+ or a 3.0+ to be

    foreverLaur replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

  16. Prep for GRE

    foreverLaur replied to brookesbuddy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I am a Barnes & Noble member so I bought them brand new, but got a nice discount on them. I used the books to prep and resold them on half.com and got all my $$$

  17. Prep for GRE

    foreverLaur replied to brookesbuddy's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd recommend taking a practice exam and seeing how you do. You can then determine how much studying you need to do to get to the range you want your scores to be in. Keep studying and taking...

  18. low overall gpa, high prereq gpa?

    foreverLaur replied to shehak20000's topic in General Students

    There are certainly programs. I know Kent State University requires a 2.5 overall GPA or higher to be considered so I would assume they would look at your app more indepth and see all the positives...

  19. Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I know I want to work in a hospital in a more critical care/busy environment and I would prefer to work with kids, so this seemed like the perfect program with me. I considered becoming just an acute...

  20. Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

    foreverLaur replied to foreverLaur's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It isn't on their website yet. I read it in "The University of Akron Magazine for Alumni & Friends." I'll type out what it says. "The College of Nursing has joined an elite group of schools...

  21. NNP vs. PNP or even FNP (help I'm stuck!!)

    foreverLaur replied to bayouchick02's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I have recently come into a new program that I think sounds perfect: Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. You are dual certified in acute care and primary care. Perhaps it might peak some...

  22. Searching for an accelerated BSN program

    foreverLaur posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As I am exploring many options, I would like to get my options arranged to enter an accelerated BSN program. The problem is, most of them start in the summer. As I don't graduate until June 14, 2007...

  25. thinking about CRNA

    foreverLaur replied to juliagulia's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am doing a GRE prep course. Especially for CRNA, you'll want a great score. Plus, it forces you to really buckle down and study - better to fork up the $ and do it than not get the score you...
