  1. considering switching to nursing school

    RNYC replied to onthefence's topic in General Nursing

    I think its quite interesting they have these advance practive nursing and direct entry MSN programs...either way the graduates have no experience when they graduate. To me, if in 3 yrs I spend one...

  2. considering switching to nursing school

    RNYC replied to onthefence's topic in General Nursing

    Switching into the nursing path cold, your looking at 2-3 yrs realistically with no prereqs...4-5 until masters prepared if you do a direct entry program. The fastest program in the country is Drexel...

  3. What are peoples thoughts on crnas

    RNYC replied to ITALY123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am sorry but, expecting this student nurse to actually shadow a CRNA for a day is a reasonable request...no one is demeaning them - just offering some advice which was apparently requested. I...

  5. What are peoples thoughts on crnas

    RNYC replied to ITALY123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That ridiculous...your ill informed. Thats like saying its easy to win the lottery. Have you actually called admissions commitees and talked to them? I have. The only factor that makes it much easier...

  6. What are peoples thoughts on crnas

    RNYC replied to ITALY123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I know a program that gets 400 apps, grants 30 interviews, and enrolls 6 per year. That should give you a relatively decent gauge on the competition The one person I know who is in school applied 4...

  7. PICU

    RNYC posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Realistically - is a PICU even appropriate experience for CRNA school? Also I had a question (noticed on another thread) regarding science curriculum. I took a full complement of preoptometry courses...

  8. is it necessary to go to high ranking nursing schools for RN?

    RNYC replied to adorablesh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Everyone on this board talks about how its better to get nursing education from community colleges because its cheaper. Just my 2 cents - my options were 2-4yr waitlist to get into 2 yr ADN program...

  9. Thinking about Nursing as my second Bachelor degree... yay or nay?

    RNYC replied to allyv305's topic in General Nursing

    completing prereqs doesnt guarantee admission these days too...you have to really want it just to get into an accelerated BSN. They are competitive. Good news is BSNs hold a (slight) edge in hiring,...

  10. Still struggling with nursing school decision

    RNYC replied to cute2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just make sure your doing it for the right reasons. Want a "recession proof career with great pay" look elsewhere...and nursing school can be challenging, but in a one year accelerated BSN it will...

  11. News report of the impacted nursing school problem

    RNYC replied to wolf83nl's topic in California Nursing

  13. Nursing career...... here I come?

    RNYC replied to sevens's topic in General Nursing

    West Coast is insanely expensive and a long 3 years, even if you have prior credits. Its "campus" is one building pretty much in the backlot of Disneyworld...the good news is going there and being 3...

  14. Relocating for a job

    RNYC replied to Schmoo1022's topic in General Nursing

    If the average age of an RN truly is 48, we are looking at something beyond a shortage in the near future. Look at the size of the baby boomer generation in a census comparison. Its a HUGE population...

  15. Relocating for a job

    RNYC replied to Schmoo1022's topic in General Nursing

    Why does Texas still have nursing

  16. CRNA profession saturation and new graduate CRNA?

    RNYC replied to aukewus's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    CRNA admission is entirely elite...best anyone can do to attain the goal is to push their undergraduate GPA as high as humanly possible which is easier said than done. Getting a 3.8-4.0 doesn't...

  17. Roll Call for all Military and VA Nurses and those considering the Service

    RNYC replied to RNPATL's topic in Government, Military

  18. Interested in Nursing

    RNYC replied to antchick04's topic in General Nursing

    Dont bother with the ADN....your looking at 1-4 yr waiting lists right now and then 2 yrs once your into school. This means a 3-6 yr path to be an ADN, and then your at a slight (someday probably...

  19. Joining the Navy

    RNYC replied to hiddencatRN's topic in Government, Military

    It took me 6 months + to get a call back and have a meaningful conversation with a Navy Nurse Recruiter. They dont seem to be dying for nurses now, and I was informed the candidate program was full....

  20. Oklahoma University San Diego

    RNYC replied to SoonSurgery-RN-BSN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sharp is a world class organization. University of Oklahoma, based on my applicant experience to this school, is a joke. They dont even have a TEAS or NET requirement (even associate programs require...
