  1. Masters vs DNP?

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

    MS nurse anesthesia programs have evolved into super master’s degrees. 30 continuous months and 80 credits. The regional accreditors were questioning the extensive requirements for a MS. So the...

  2. Masters vs DNP?

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

    Cuppideecake I think the most provocative thing you stated in your original post was that holding a DN(A)P would hurt a new graduates employment prospects. Do you want to work for an employer that...

  3. Masters vs DNP?

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

    AACN is not an accreditor, so cannot mandate educational requirements. They were the first to publish a position statement that all APRN programs should be at the practice doctorate level. The COA is...

  4. CRNA school with 1 year ICU Experience

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

    Giving an anesthetic to a sick ICU patient is going to be easier for you, compared to someone with 1 year of ICU

  5. Science GPA and retaking classes versus Grad level courses

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

    Talk to the programs you’re interested in. Some grad courses are not very rigorous. I’d rather see someone take a rigorous undergraduate chem or physiology than a cake graduate pathophys or

  6. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA 2020

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

    No negativity or sarcasm, I’m challenging the premise that a high ranking equates to a high quality education. Prestigious universities typically value their prestigious physician residencies and...

  7. Georgetown University CRNA DNP 2020

    loveanesthesia replied to TravelBug09's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Send them, those are great. They can only

  8. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA 2020

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

    Those rankings are all but meaningless from the student experience perspective. Especially in the field of nurse anesthesia. In some fields such as law, attending a highly ranked school opens doors....

  9. FNP to CRNA, advice, thoughts, insight

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

    Anesthesia programs require, or strongly prefer, current FT ICU direct patient care when you interview. If you know you want CRNA, getting a NP first will not shorten the CRNA

  10. Reapplying...statement revision

    loveanesthesia replied to 2015RNgrad's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, they will look poorly on submitting the same essay as last

  11. Georgetown University CRNA DNP 2020

    loveanesthesia replied to TravelBug09's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It’s all in how application is defined. Some admissions departments use some interesting techniques in order to report large application numbers. One admissions person told me that any applicant...

  12. Has anyone gotten into school WITHOUT the GRE?

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

    Duke is a ‘big name’ so will have a lot of applicants. Honestly in the CRNA world the big name universities aren’t known for having the best programs because they often are second priority to a...

  13. Has anyone gotten into school WITHOUT the GRE?

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

    Apply to the school you were planning on. 288 is ok for a score, you’re right, it’s not great but it’s above 285 so probably not a deal

  14. Any MSN programs left?

    loveanesthesia replied to livmoore89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can find a complete list of programs at the COA School Search. You can sort by

  15. Clarkson 2021

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

    They’re transparent but that’s pretty low. The DNP curriculum is 5 semesters of didactic and then only 4 of clinical. That’s not a lot of time in clinical. My guess is that happened because...

  16. National University CRNA Interview

    loveanesthesia replied to WildcatRN00's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    From COA School Search, the DNAP is over 116k. This is the best source of information. Each program is required to update it annually although I’ve seen programs forget to update

  17. Working during CRNA School

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

    During the clinical phase, no. Maybe a weekend shift during didactic but don’t plan on it. You need to study on the weekends. It’s very different from NP

  18. Unique Educational Situation: Do I Stand A Chance?

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

    You are fine, actually more than fine. Sounds like you’re going to be a great

  19. Would you do it? Need your advice.

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

    Why do you say you have to repeat 2 or 3 classes? I’m a little skeptical that CRNAs are given more respect than NPs or PAs. Go for it, only you can decide if it’s worth

  20. Goal: CRNA; Post ADN advice

    loveanesthesia replied to NurseOrBust13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don’t think you need another degree, save your money. Spend your time working as much as possible in the ICU- that’ll make you more competitive. How are the grades in your science courses? Those...

  21. Goal: CRNA; Post ADN advice

    loveanesthesia replied to NurseOrBust13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Do you already have a BS or BA? You don’t necessarily need a BSN. Save your money and avoid the unnecessary

  22. Advice for CRNA

    loveanesthesia replied to Mnurse18's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Trauma ICU for a couple of years and then travel nursing for a year would be great. Work and save as much as

  23. CRNA school with only an Associates Degree?

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

    If you go to CRNA School Search on the COA website you can fairly easily find the programs that accept related bachelors degrees. Starting alphabetically I found 10 out of the first 30 programs-and...

  24. CRNA school with only an Associates Degree?

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

    I’m thinking about the future, you don’t want to get a C or C+ and fail out of a CRNA

  25. CRNA school with only an Associates Degree?

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

    There are many CRNA programs that will accept an RN with a related baccalaureate degree. Strong academic ability is key to completing a program. You should analyze the reason your GPA is not strong...
