  1. BSN sophomore standing for CRNA apps

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

    You seem ready to forgo many things that I think you might well regret, but since you have such drive and motivation why not aim at something much higher in medicine like a neuro-surgeon or...

  2. 7 Calendar Years of Education????

    ThinkingAboutIt replied to Diprivan/Vented's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I am guessing since I am neither a student or CRNA, but since they are focusing on a single procedure I would say that 2-3 years of practicing and courses should make them

  3. 7 Calendar Years of Education????

    They include your BS degree! 2.5+ master's 1 year ICU 4 B.S =

  4. How did you do it?

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

    Yea, yea, that stuff is important too, but always follow the money it is tells you more about most things and it hardly never lies. Money talks and bulls**t walks. You forget the biggest cost which...

  5. Informal survey for those who have applied to CRNA school

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

    I think this potentially a very interesting thread. Could you also tell us when you first applied, how much effort you put in getting accepted during those year(s) you were not accepted, and why you...

  6. How did you do it?

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

    I also wouldn't be afraid of taking out student loans. In fact, you should be happy about it. The stafford and perkin loans have deferred interest, that means Uncle Sam is going to pay the interest...

  7. How did you do it?

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

    Again I have to disagree with you Flying ED, because the CORRECT answer is it depends. You have to do analysis of the RENT-BUY decision, and then you will need to find economic data on which to base...

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

    Hi, I think Snowy that you should focus on your school that is going to get you a great new job that is going to get you great pay, benefits, and work that you find rewarding! I wouldn't take on the...

  9. How did you do it?

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

    Hey, I don't want to sound obnoxious, but this is some bad advice. Why is rent throwing away money? Someone is giving you something very valuable ( a place to live), I suppose you consider buying...

  10. CRNA Program Rankings

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

    Thanks for the information. Regrettfully, I waisted $10 on getting full access to the survey. I and many others are just looking for a good honest assessment of the value of what schools are...

  11. Any Tax CPA out there? IRA's and 401K?

    ThinkingAboutIt posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have been reading posting about the financing of CRNA school, but I have never read anything about people using the money from thier 401K or IRAs. Especially, the people who are saving money for...

  12. Grades, Gre Scores, Experience, etc...

    ThinkingAboutIt replied to malraymal's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I appreciate your additional information. My intention was not to pry but when I see someone with exceptional stats like yours and you got multiple rejections. It's nice to try to understand the...

  13. Grades, Gre Scores, Experience, etc...

    ThinkingAboutIt replied to malraymal's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hmmm, I don't understand a program turning down a candidate like you Debra, especially multiple programs. Your profile looks real good, GPA, experience, GRE, graduate degree. Can you share what you...

  14. Getting into CRNA school

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

    Hi, I have been researching this field and reading the posting, because of my own interest in it. Your predicament is interesting, because you have a lot of courses I would guess probably around 170...

  15. Grades, Gre Scores, Experience, etc...

    ThinkingAboutIt replied to malraymal's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    What science course did you guys take? It seems from some of the postings that the science GPA is important too. From what I have read on the websites, many schools seems to consider the science...

    I am not in nursing, and I cannot tell you about the ramifications of exposing your fraud. Here is a quote that may provide you with some insight to your delimma: "Why do you see the speck in your...
