Hey everyone just wanted to ask if you all think I have a chance in hell of getting into a crna program. I'd like to go to the one in Columbus at otterbein. My GPA is 3.3 or 3.4, been a nurse for 10 years, by the time I apply will have 4 years of icu...

Also my bsn I got through western governors university. It's regionally and nationally accredited but it doesn't give out letter grades, what it says on the transcript is if you pass that means you received a minimum of a B. Afraid if that will hurt ...

Considering going here for rn to bsn, leery of online programs. Is it reputable?

So I've been a nurse for 7 years, 2 of them as an lpn and 5 as an RN. I'm originally lived in ohio but am currently residing in Charleston wv. CAMC is the big dog out here and I literally could apply tomorrow and have a job there the same week, even ...

Hey all couple questions. First I am an ADN RN and I am interested in moving to Perth. If read several links but still a bit in the dark. What is the process? Is it difficult? Second part of my question is I am mostly ltc/rehab ended up in it by acci...

So I begin at frontier for their fnp program next month and to be honest I'm reconsidering it...nursing all together actually. With as flooded as the market is right now for RNs is it not the same for FNPs? I don't relish the thought of going 60k in ...

I don't mean to seem like I am saying all graduates are jokes, just the school. They screw their students over in many circumstances and are sketchy when it comes to how they handle student loans, etc.

U of P is a joke

I already said I'd need to work a few years in an early post, my state does, and there exists an organized effort for FNPs to be able to practice independently.

I think rural areas that MDs/DO avoid will be our bread and butter?

I know right? Plus I'm going to have to eat ramen for two or three years if I get a position in order to pay for it lol. I'd love to have my own little office in a rural community.

I really hope you're right!!! Ty for the post! I am kinda amazed at frontier. I've just started but I'm extremely impressed by it so far!

Ever gave any thought to opening your own center? I fully expect for it to be hard as hell for me to find a position as a fnp by the time i graduate. I plan on hopefully opening my own small office.

Huh? Who are you asking that? And I'd question spending a lot more money getting another advanced practice degree if you're in a part of the country where advanced practice nursing is flooded/under utilized?

Thank you do much for your kind words! It really isn't about money to me. I was actually a biochem major but a nurse saved my life and inspired me to want to help others, the way she helped me. She was actually who pinned me at my graduation. I Ty fo...

I think tuition is like 35k for the bridge but they start you at a lil over 20k a year in student loans. I'm assuming that's for misc things like books?

Thank you for your response ma'am. Just the thought of that much more debt scared me. I'm only 25 and I turn to this site and my elders for advice. You all are very helpful and kind. Thank you 8) sincerely ty

Ty everyone for your responses so far, I'm a young nurse with a lot to learn

Ty, your posts actually made me smile. I also want to do primary care and I was just terrified I'd end up not even being able to practice d/t a flooded market. I don't care if I start out at 60k a year, it isnt about money to me. Plus I have plans on...

What do you mean about the "supply and demand" part of your post? Do you feel fnp is flooded ATM?

Im in the charleston wv area

That's another thing. I heard frontier was highly respected but their fnp program I'm in is online and I've seen a few posts saying negative things about online programs in general. I'm so confused and utterly frustrated. I simply...honestly...have n...

So I was an stna and then went and became a lpn. I worked long term/rehab a year while going to school for my RN. I graduated and was hired by KDMC but before I could start working they had massive layoffs. I went back to long term and rehab as a RN ...

:rolleyes:Another ignorant article...midway through it, it compares crnas salary to a family practice physicians and claims, on average family practice physicians make 16,000 dollars less than an CRNA...aas if they're even comparable. Lets not forget...

Seems like a lazy persons myspace to me.
