    markuskristian posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    Does anyone know if U. of South Alabama looks at the full package when deciding on entrance into their nursing program or is it simply gpa? At the end of summer when I apply, I will only have a 3.2...

    markuskristian posted a topic in General Nursing

    A couple months ago I posted a question asking if it were possible for someone to more or less enjoy depression [or for depression to feel like a comfort zone]. Rather than anyone answering the...

  3. Student loans for more than cost of attendance

    markuskristian replied to emmasma's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Med school for experienced CRNA?

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

    Even in Illinois, it doesn't have be an anesthesiologist... it can be any MD. She could always work in another facility... in a dental office, a CRNA can supply the service and have the dentist sign...

    markuskristian replied to tnm8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I knew I wanted something in healthcare, and I liked that nursing is very horizontal... if you dislike one specialty, you can always swap to another... OR to Med/Surg to CVICU or with more schooling...

  8. How to Study?

  11. Do I really want to become a CRNA?

    markuskristian replied to wildfire2098's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Quite a harsh commentary there. OP, I'm right where you're at. I'm a pre-nursing student using nursing school as a stepping stone to nurse anesthesia. I can tell you the main reason I'm going for it...

  13. Should I just give up on nursing?

    markuskristian replied to ernurse2015's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Perhaps this is just 'crude advice,' but what keeps me motivated is when I see SOME of the nurses around hospitals. I think, "if this dumb*** can do it, then I definitely can." Again, crude advice,...

    markuskristian replied to my4helpers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. online CRNA programs

    markuskristian replied to shastamc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not that I'm aware of... without sounding rude, I pray they don't have one. With the AANA fighting to show the equality of CRNAs to MDAs, having any portion of the CRNA program conducted online would...

    markuskristian replied to Canadian eh?'s topic in General Nursing

    Although depression and burnout happen in many healthcare fields, supposedly it's more frequent in dentistry. I'm sure you've heard that before though.

  24. Full-page Scientology Ad in July AJN (really!)

    markuskristian replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing
