  1. Preparing for boards 2014

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to Boyle's's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  2. VCU's combined MSNA/DNAP program

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to Jaelle625's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's difficult to specify how much additional time is required by adding the practice doctorate while still pursuing the MSNA. It ebbs and flows based upon workload e.g., are discussion posts due or...

  6. UCF Fall 2011 Hopefuls

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to jenniferpnts's topic in Florida Nursing

    The program is manageable. It's difficult because there's a lot of material and it's impossible to learn it all. You'll have to prioritize and develop/enhance time management skills. I remember the...

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to jenniferpnts's topic in Florida Nursing

    Good luck to you all. I graduated UCF's accelerated program August 2009 then went to work in the SICU at an academic hospital in the Mid-Atlantic region. The education that you receive there is on par...

  8. AA student contemplating CRNA track...advice?

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to tangeorine's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Interesting situation. If your goal is to become an anesthesia provider then go to AA school. My reasoning is simple: you're guaranteed a spot right now and there's no telling what will happen if you...

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to futureRNMena's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    On Duke's website under the FAQ section, they address a question similar to the one in your original posting. Do you prefer specific areas of critical care experience? You must have a minimum of one...

  10. Anesthesiologists being replaced by CRNAs???

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to MONEJA783's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Unfortunately, you're side of the discussion is based upon opinion. Support your opinion with evidence; otherwise, you're doing yourself and if you're a physician, your chosen profession a disservice....

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to brichielpn08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the test as a FL BON applicant and the PVT worked for me. Yesterday, I took the test and received the pop-up later in the afternoon. Today, I went to the FL BON website and I have an RN number....

  15. Welcome To The NCLEX September Support Group

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to UjonesRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I did the PVT as soon as I got home and received the same message. Immediately, I looked through the PVT thread to see if anyone else received it and of course, I didn't. Anyway, tried it a few...

  16. Does anyone have experience with UCF's accelerated program?

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to Callister's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The interview is not formal. It's a written interview that's designed to remove all bias. For example, did you wear a suit while another person wore flip flops, but flip flop guy would be a better...

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  24. Newly considering a career in nursing: accelerated programs + my edu. background

    OrlandoFLNurse2b replied to AmbitiousThing's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think you have a good shot. Nowadays, it's surprising how difficult it is to get into nursing school, but I think you're competitive. More than likely, there will be applicants with better grades...
