  2. Also use the search button on the main page and look for the keywords you mentioned. Here's a link to what Texas is talking about: https://allnurses.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26690
  3. CRNAsoon, thanks for giving a heads up on what the interviews might be like! "Are you sure?"
  4. Does anyone know if there are schools out there where you do not have to have a degree? I don't know of one. It sounds like Alex's friend has 2 years of sciences (i.e. physics, chem, o-chem, bio-chem,...
  5. Allnurses members: The Pre-CRNA subforum was created as a means for inquiry into the CRNA profession. Many members noted that threads such as, "I want to be a CRNA", "About to take the GRE", or "How...

    New school in NC?

    There will be a new program in the southeast as well! My best friend is an affiliate of the program and has recruited some faculty and planned clinical sites. She has asked me not to announce the...
  9. Graduating with honors or being part of an honors society is almost expected to be considered a competitive applicant. Golden Key, Sigma Theta Tau, etc included. Good luck, and please check the CRNA...
  10. I agree, I will take this post to the staff discussion. While I don't think the owner would consider a forum exclusively for CRNA wannabe's, perhaps there could be one for advanced practice nursing...
  11. TexasCCRN, this is a valid thread. I'm sorry it got sort of butchered. I wonder if AANA will ever have a standard title for students. By the way, I hope you're safe down there. Our prayers are with...
  12. I deleted jwk's offending message which appeared throughout the thread. Nurse anesthesia students feels strongly about this, and you know it, JWK! That is so stereotypical and UNFAIR to play the ol'...
  13. I think it's ridiculous that nursing professors don't encourage their students who have ambitions to pursue adv prac nursing. Heck, a lot of med students know what specialty they want to go into,...

  16. Would it be possible for an RN to join AANA? I checked on the site, but didn't see any opportunities for nurses to join. It seems like memberbership for us wannabees could potientially generate quite...
  17. I'm so happy to know that you have your baby now. I think you are making a wise choice. Good luck, as these things you are doing will only make you a stronger
  18. NP is a great profession too. It sounds like starting a family is really important to you. There are many NPs at my hospital who work in OR. Unfortunately, opportunity cost is an important aspects of...
  19. Now that's a differential equation.
  20. Those are vasoactive
  21. I'm going today to look at condos and to speak with a realtor! My hospital offers a $5,000 forgivable down payment loan to it's employees. Thanks for this information. My apt lease is up on October...
  22. You recently posted something in the FNP forum: "I'm going qrazy trying to decide wether to continue with med school or just go for NP. I'm a guy, in my mid 30- ish, been an RN for almost 15 yrs with...
