  1. BSN or BS in Biology

    futurenp replied to fry.girl's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    From my research ALL the programs will allow you to apply with a BSN whereas a smaller number allow you to apply with a related bachelor's degree. I would think your odds would be higher with a BSN...

    futurenp replied to blee1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Wow! 20 hour days? PB38 where do you go to school? I didn't know that you had to do presentations? How often do you do them? I'm terrible at public speaking. You're scaring me

  4. What areas of nursing pay the best?

    futurenp replied to booklovinrn's topic in Nursing Career

    CRNA is the highest paying nursing job. Teaching jobs don't pay as much as bedside nursing. Most experienced floor nurses make more than nurse practioners. Hope that

  5. RN-ADN vs BSN

    futurenp replied to SpecificNorthWest's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    You're lucky that your bachelors is in biology - mine's in economics. I'm starting a 2 year program this fall. I'm pretty limited on programs that will accept my BA with an ADN. I sure hope I don't...

  6. Medical school?

    futurenp replied to sonessrna's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I keep having the same thoughts. I'm hoping to someday get into CRNA school. The only thing that keeps me out of medical school is that I'm 40 years old and by the time I add on prereqs (I'm an...

    futurenp replied to BMOB's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Can you give more info as to what exactly you're talking about? Is it hiring yourself out similar to having your own agency? What exactly is an independent nurse contractor? Can you enlighten this...

  9. I need help about which way to go!

    futurenp posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm really struggling with which direction to go in prep for nurse anesthesia programs. I have a BA in economics. My plan was to go to the local CC and get my ADN. I was also going to take more...

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

  12. questions about accelerated programs

    futurenp replied to bruinlaura's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have the same dilemma. I have a BA in economics. There is a program 50 minutes away that offers an MSN (you can either go for the nurse practitioner or care/outcomes manager). The program last...

  13. Anyone else PARANIOD about giving oral presentations??

    futurenp replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Students

    I can REALLY relate. I have panic attacks about doing presentations. I went to the doctor for a prescription and he gave me beta blockers. I ended up having to double the dose and still had a fast...

  14. health insurance

    futurenp replied to telemetrynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Golden Rule is a great one. It paid out nearly a million dollars for my dad when he had leukemia 3 years ago. Unfortunately, they won't insure someone from my state

  15. Old Dominion U/Radford U

    futurenp replied to hittme123's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I graduated from Radford in 1986 with a degree in economics. It's a great school. You're right, the cost of living is very cheap. I don't have any experience with the nursing program, but I can...

  16. WA board needs more action

    futurenp replied to zacarias's topic in Washington Nursing

    I live in Olympia now, but grew up in Walla Walla. I think it's beautiful over there. It's a little isolated (and there are only 2 hospitals), but it's a great place to raise a family. It gets VERY...

  17. Anyone attended South Puget Sound Comm. College's Nursing program?

    futurenp replied to captain nemo's topic in Washington Nursing

    No, I'm not sure which direction I'll be going. Are you from Shelton? If so, have you thought about Olympic College? I can tell you that at SPSCC if you don't have almost a 4.0 in your prereqs you...

    futurenp replied to captain nemo's topic in Washington Nursing

  19. Anyone ever have a tummy tuck?

    futurenp replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I just had one 3 1/2 weeks ago. I didn't think it was bad at all. I have an incision from hip to hip which doesn't cause me ANY pain. The only discomfort I had was from the muscle repair. It...
