  1. Hello- can anyone answer a couple of questions about the new CRNA program at FSU? I am mainly interested in the application process and cost of attendance (for out-of-state). I saw that the CRNA app...
  2. Pitt CRNA 2015

    Hi all, and congrats to those already accepted to Pitt's program. I was wondering if any of you are starting the part-time program? I'm really interested to know how manageable the classes are while...
  3. Congrats to those who got accepted!! I am looking to apply to CRNA school in the next 1-2 years. Could any of you provide your stats? I have a low basic chem grade but a 4.0 in Biochem, then a low...
  4. Hello, I don't post here often, but I'm interested in SRNA's experience with children/school balance? I have an infant who will be 2 upon starting CRNA program (if I get in). We are thinking about...
  5. children and CRNA school

    Thanks for your reply. Agreed, I think it will be extremely difficult, but wouldn't it be more difficult getting pregnant while in the program? Another thought I've had is getting pregnant after the...
  6. Any recent new hires at University of Michigan?

    Couple of questions regarding working at the U: how long is new grad orientation? Is there a verbal or written time commitment that you must work on the unit (I've heard 18 mths)? Must that commitment...

    HouTx, Thank you for the compliment. I hope that I will be a good nurse too! My husband has worked in landscaping/hardscaping for the last 5 years. However, with our move he's looking to possibly get...
  9. MI new grad to Texas

    I am concerned that the $25,000 sign on bonus sounds like a "to good to be true" scam. Does anyone have knowledge of this hospital and the working conditions? Thank you for the head up! I'll look into...
  10. MI new grad to Texas

    Melosaur, you bring up a great point. I did not know you could physically sit for the exam in another state (i.e. take the TX NCLEX in MI). However, my husband and I plan to move to TX shortly after...
  11. MI new grad to Texas

    Thanks for your advice. I was thinking that taking NCLEX in TX initially would be less stressful. I plan to start applying and making phone calls come August/September. Do you think that is too...
  12. MI new grad to Texas

    Thank you for your advice. I definitely want to look at numerous small cities and start making calls. I'd really like to set up some interviews come August/September. Is Temple, TX not a small city? I...
  13. MI new grad to Texas

    Also, I'm very interested in Scott and White, but what are some other hospitals that you all would recommend to apply to? Thanks
  14. Starting Nursing salaries by State?

    Can everyone also please say if their state is very open for new grads or a tough place to start?
  15. I actually would not recommend chegg based on the fact that you're just renting the books and need to send them back. That is a good program for other undergraduate programs, but for nursing you're...
  16. Nursing in Michigan

    Highlandlass - do you have nurse recruiter contact info? I don't graduate until Dec 2011, but I saw U of M advertising a Nurse Shadow program on Entry Level Jobs and Internships and thought about...
  17. Amazon is my go to. I have orders some books from half.com (ebay's textbook place) but the shipping is horrible. Amazon is reliable and you get books quickly. My mom has the Amazon credit card thing,...

    highlandlass - can you comment on the amount of tuition reimbursement that UM
  19. MI taking forever processing license

    Have you asked for just your nursing license number? I met with an advisor for an MSN program I'm interested in attending once I graduate with my BSN next December. The problem is that the MSN program...
  20. Need info on refresher courses

    I have a friend that didn't do that well in nursing school and SWEARS by the Kaplan NCLEX course. It's kind of pricey, but sounds totally worth it. She now is an ICU nurse. Keep
  21. University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

    Okay, I think I added you, but if it's not you then I'll just feel like a weirdo. lol. Have you gotten your packet yet? Lee said we would have orientation really soon. He called me on Monday and I...
  22. University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

    Nicole! OMG I'm so excited to find someone else in the program! I've heard really great things about it! Did you apply to both programs and have to withdraw the traditional? lol, I was like screaming...
  23. MSU BSN and ABSN

    "talk about taking care of your own" - I couldn't say it any better! lol. I actually have some pretty strong connections with the nursing department at MSU, I'm MSU alumni, and I STILL didn't get in!...
  24. University of Michigan (UofM) Accelerated program

    I took Pharm online through Lansing Community College (LCC). You do, however, need to physically go to the testing center at LCC for each exam or set up a proctored location. On another note I GOT IN...
  25. MSU BSN and ABSN

    I didn't get in, but I'm not that upset about it. I've heard really bad things about MSU's ABSN program. It was not my top choice. I found out this week that I did get into another ABSN program. We...
