  1. Air Force & Army HPSP CRNA

    gunrock posted a topic in Government, Military

    I've been scouring multiple forums for up to date info on the HPSP Scholarship for CRNA students. I haven't been able to find much up to date info and hope that someone can help. I just got off the...

  4. SMU's 2016 program

    gunrock replied to PTach00's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think the OP is referring to St Mary's University, not Samuel Merritt. But you're right, students for Fall 2015 were notified of their acceptance / rejection back in February for Samuel Merritt...

  5. Feedback needed from CRNA/SRNA

    gunrock replied to paul3489's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The upcoming fall application period is closed, but why not apply for Fall 2016 and work on transferring into an ICU. Like you said, there are programs that will accept ED experience, so shoot a few...

  6. can i really get into crna school

    gunrock replied to taylor-ccrn-cmc's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There is more to nursing than just knowing your medications and being able to pass exams... It's also more than researching patient histories and care plans. I think that's what your coworkers are...

  7. RN jobs in N. California

    gunrock replied to Passion15's topic in California Nursing

    I'm not up to date on all the new grad programs in the bay area, but here are two: Stanford has a new grad program, I believe they will start taking applications in May. There is a list of...

    gunrock replied to mrisajne's topic in School, College Programs

    Happy you had such a great experience with Hopkins. I also graduating from a UC and did my ABSN at Hopkins. If you have any questions about the program or my experience feel free to PM

  9. Got rejected by nursing school...HELP?..

    gunrock replied to RNanab's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Without any specifics it's hard for anyone to really help. Do you have a bachelors already? Are you looking at ADN programs? 4 year programs? As the poster above suggested, pick a few states where...

  10. CRNA School

    gunrock replied to kmsberg's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't see CCRN mentioned. If you don't have it, take it. Do very well on your GRE. Take some graduate level classes and do very well (get As). Do you participate in any unit or hospital...

  11. California BRN License Renewal Using Breeze

    gunrock replied to TheCommuter's topic in California Nursing

    Yep. I renewed a few months ago, took me about 20minutes and instantly renewed. My coworkers got held up for some reason and took a few weeks (we still aren't sure

  12. The Road to RN to CRNA in So Cal

    gunrock replied to CristianD's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Here's an aprox timeline for you: Since you have a high school degree you need to either A) get your ADN (2 years) if you don't have to complete any pre-requisites before. -> do a ADN to BSN bridge...

  13. CSUN vs. Hopkins/Duke

    gunrock replied to dcwang's topic in California Nursing

    I went to Hopkins. I'm from California, decided to leave and go experience something different. Baltimore / Hopkins was an amazing experience. I started as a new grad on the east coast (most...

  14. non-nursing student, what are my chances??

    gunrock replied to mrisajne's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm going to have to disagree with pretty much everything your friend has told you. Yes, there are private schools and CalState schools where you can get your ABSN or do a MEPN, however none of these...

  15. non-nursing student, what are my chances??

    gunrock replied to mrisajne's topic in School, College Programs

    Talk to your counselor. See if you can switch into the nursing major. That would be your best option. I'm sure the major is impacted at UCLA but you never know until you talk to someone. If you can't...

  16. UCSF Benioff/ mission bay info

    gunrock replied to Iluvbnanurse515's topic in California Nursing

    Why not Stanford, Lucille Packard? Also just as a heads up, travelers make less than staff positions in the Bay Area, so keep that in mind as well. Many travelers I know only travelled to get their...

  17. Just changed my classes from EMT to CNA, need some advice

    gunrock replied to Christies's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Surprised you wouldn't be able to find an EMT job. There are companies (in the Bay Area and pretty much everywhere I've loved) that are always looking for EMTs. Are you only looking at the 911 system...

  19. Moving to NorCal!

    gunrock replied to aparsons's topic in California Nursing

    UC Davis is not the only hospital. There are plenty of other UC medical centers spread throughout the state. Your years of service, etc transfer from each hospital to the next, just like any other...

  20. UCSF New RN Grad Training Program 2014

    gunrock replied to ADEcstatic's topic in California Nursing

    You are correct. Nursing Ed just told us the next new grad group will be Fall

  21. ABSN Program for Non-Nursing Majors

    gunrock replied to kulinat's topic in California Nursing

    Agree with the person above. Do really well on your pre-requisites and get some health care experience while you take classes. I have a buddy who had a 2.8 and got into an ABSN program on his first...

  22. UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    gunrock replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to play devils advocate. Do you know a UPS worker? Do you know first hand what their job entails? If not, it seems hypocritical to say they can't talk about nurses but it's okay if you make...

  23. UPS Drivers make HOW much????

    gunrock replied to Purple_Scrubs's topic in General Nursing

    It's interesting that so many people are upset about their salary and are so defensive. I'm sure everyone who decided nursing looked into / had a vague idea of what they would be making as a nurse....

  24. Want a CA job-Go to a CA school?

    gunrock replied to aposseadesse's topic in California Nursing

    Are you opposed to sticking around the east coast and starting as a new grad out there? I went to Hopkins and just moved back to California. By staying out on the east coast I was able to start as a...

  25. RN salary and cost of living in Sacramento area

    gunrock replied to mayrn82's topic in California Nursing

    Just a heads up for your spouse. Since she will be a new grad she will have a pretty hard time finding a job (search the forums). I know jobs are hard to come by in Tacoma / Seattle but if she can...
