    loveanesthesia replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    loveanesthesia replied to loouxoxo69's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  4. Has anyone dropped out of a PhD program (or contemplated it)?

    loveanesthesia replied to saheckler's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I laughed when I read the title of the thread! EVERYONE thinks about quitting a PhD program. I’m convinced that completing a PhD is primarily a sign of persistence. The reason I didn’t quit is...

  7. CRNA School Starts 2 Years After Application Approved

    loveanesthesia replied to peacefulsymmetry's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, apply 2 years in advance for that program. Most programs accept applications about 1 year before start. Or maybe 1.5 years. Then the interview process may take a month or 2, and offers will...

  11. Debating Withdrawing From CRNA school

    loveanesthesia replied to SRNAco2024's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Many programs are now online the first 2 semesters, or even the first year. It’s harder to feel connected with that format, and hard to judge what the rest of the program will be like. Not all...

    loveanesthesia replied to RollK NK's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  14. Midwestern CRNA 2022

    loveanesthesia replied to flightRN92's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    She can practice talking about how she makes clinical assessments and decisions. If you’re a CRNA, you can help her with that. Programs are trying to assess if she knows the ‘why’ behind what...

  15. Do I have a chance at CRNA schools? 25$ gift card to best answer

    loveanesthesia replied to soaptastesok's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just finished interviewing. Some candidates were very reheorificed and robotic. I finally asked one of them what they did to prepare and they told me they paid for coaching. Be careful of learning a...

  16. Based on current experience, is it worth reapplying?

    loveanesthesia replied to Jessica Moskovits's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The pass rate difference by age isn’t true for every program. Evidently it is for some, or even a lot of programs because you are correct about the national statistics. Our program doesn’t see

  17. ED experience in addition to ICU?

    loveanesthesia replied to elephantlover's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think it’s a great idea! Probably because that’s what I did. Experience in a level 1 trauma ER is a good growth opportunity. Some anesthesia programs will want to see current ICU experience, so...

    loveanesthesia replied to Flavio404's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  19. Based on current experience, is it worth reapplying?

    loveanesthesia replied to Jessica Moskovits's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Anesthesia classes are not in the same category as MSN classes. Take a physiology class to get into the swing of studying a science. If you get a job in an ICU you can make

  20. Advice on applications?

    loveanesthesia replied to meganhali's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Don’t pay anyone to review your transcripts. Contact programs and go to open houses put on by programs. They’ll tell you what they’re looking for. I think your experience is fine and you’re...

  21. Does anyone know of any programs that transfer credits from the MSN into the DNP?

    loveanesthesia replied to Camxxx's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I doubt the RN MSN will have a benefit. Maybe selected programs may transfer in 3 credits or so, but it won't shorten the program. If it's the same length and cost as the BSN, then sure, go ahead and...

    loveanesthesia replied to Alxnd261's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
