I think you need to be persistent as well. If this is what you want to do, you will eventually get excepted somewhere. Every single program turns away qualified applicants, so there is no reason to...
People's idea of "stink" is often subjective, so it's hard to say. I think A's in the hard science classes can make up for all kinds of poor grades in nursing theory type classes (as long as you are...
I think you can trust that if a school doesn't require a course, then you don't need it to get in or to succeed in the program. But if you are looking for something to take for any number of valid...
(for example, I can't imagine organic chemistry gets EASIER the longer I have been away from general chem lol!!) You'd be surprised then. As they are taught, organic and general have very little...
A strong undergrad organic chemistry was necessary for my program and helped a lot. Beyond that, I would just review anatomy and physiology as much as you can. Or maybe you can audit a course for...
I may not have much of a life now, I just studied my bum off all weekend for an exam today and another one tomorrow. But I sure hope, and do expect to have a full life once I'm done and start...
I think your most recent 60 credits and all science courses are most important. If they don't look good, then you might consider taking a few science courses to beef up your application. If they...
somewhat regrettably, i found this thread from an anesthesiologist/intern forum. i'm not surprised by their position at all, but their vehemence and disdain is shocking. it seems they are all about...
I can only speak as a student and then in my nursing experience. I've never had a problem getting someone to cover my patients for just the few minutes it takes to use the bathroom. You do need to...
I suppose everyone is a little bias toward their own experience. Mine is a midsize, level one, teaching facility. It seems to me that as the hospitals get bigger, the icu's get more specialized and...
Any science courses that you did well in will look good on your application. I think most schools will want you to have a semester of organic chemistry too. No doubt schools prefer adult icu's over...
Sounds like it would work to me. Just that if most of their patients are vented and you are using pressers like neo, I would expect you to get more than the occasional cvp and a-line--they should...
