1. 10th grader w/ a few questions?

   PrimeRib replied to jerryman09's topic in SRNA

   Wait, so I just read and re-read your post. When you said that you'll be eligible to take the NCLEX when you graduate high school, at first I thought you were mistaken and/or confusing it with some nursing program admissions test... but now I'm wond...

2. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota CRNA Program

   PrimeRib replied to GaMommy81's topic in SRNA

   I didn't get into St. Mary's but have a similar pickle in that I did get into a different school, have accepted and paid my deposit but was just offered an interview at MSA. Off topic but just curious if anyone feels there's anything ethically wrong...

3. Community college or University for RN before CRNA?

   PrimeRib replied to brentewing's topic in SRNA

   Seeing as you already have your BS in Exercise Science, it seems to me that it would be the best use of your time (and possibly money) to complete a post-baccalaureate entry level nursing program, if one is available where you live. Some (maybe most...

4. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

   PrimeRib replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

   Bedside nursing can be hard work, there's no two ways around that fact. I continue to be amazed by seeing nurses 25+ years my senior who can run circles around many of the younger staff, staying for doubles or coming in early, picking up extra shift...

5. Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

   PrimeRib replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

   While your pre-med friend should have some inkling as to what they might like to do should they indeed get into medical school and have the opportunity to apply to residencies, it's perhaps a bit presumptuous or naive for an undergrad chemistry major...

6. Franciscan Healthcare School of Anesthesia 2017

   PrimeRib replied to greysee7's topic in SRNA

   Oh, also, did you submit a resume along with your app? Just curious. They don't really ask for much, but yeah, website is very vague.

7. Franciscan Healthcare School of Anesthesia 2017

   PrimeRib replied to greysee7's topic in SRNA

   ie the UW-La Crosse program? I'm currently scrambling to get everything submitted. Their website is a bit unorganized, it's one of those weird programs (like MSA in Minneapolis) where the degree is granted by a university but the program is actually...

8. University of Minnesota

   PrimeRib replied to PrimeRib's topic in SRNA

   I believe so, only 12 students per year, I have an acquaintance from my BSN class in the program currently. For this reason I'm viewing my application as more or less a hopeful shot in the dark, but you can't know unless you try, right?

9. University of Minnesota

   PrimeRib posted a topic in SRNA

   Hello, just curious if anyone applied for the University of Minnesota's DNP CRNA program this year? I haven't seen too many recent threads about this school. Anyone out there a current/former student at the U of M?

10. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota CRNA Program

    PrimeRib replied to GaMommy81's topic in SRNA

    Anyone else see this on the "prospective students" tab of the SMUMN NA program's website? Just spotted it this morning. "We have finished processing applications for the class starting in 2017 and letters are going out." I was out of town over the ...

11. Is there Hope for me after 21 yrs???

    PrimeRib replied to Momtotjmatt's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed on the notion that the wages for MAs are not particularly great or likely to support a family of four. With the "not nursing-related" comment, however, I have to question how this little dig was meant to be genuinely helpful for a person in a...

12. Bad situation and mad coworker? What could I have done?

    PrimeRib replied to missind33's topic in Relations

    Oh man, don't you just hate nurses like this? I didn't read the replies before me, so I'm sure this was already mentioned, but the cliche is true, nursing is a 24-hr job. Of course we all would like to have everything wrapped up in a nice little pa...

13. Saint Mary's University of Minnesota CRNA Program

    PrimeRib replied to GaMommy81's topic in SRNA

    Strange, I could have sworn that mine said "requirements check" earlier on before it switched over to the month-long+ "admission review" purgatory. So I really have no idea what it means. Doesn't sound negative, though.

14. Any tips for UNE organic chem final?

    PrimeRib replied to pumpkin's topic in SRNA

    The professor for our O chem lecture was one of those instructors who is probably kept on because of his research because I must say, while a very nice guy, he probably doesn't have any business teaching the basics of such a notorious subject to unde...

15. Any tips for UNE organic chem final?

    PrimeRib replied to pumpkin's topic in SRNA

    I did a brick and mortar organic chemistry course last fall at a state university, huge lecture with 150+ students (funny being in class again with mostly 19 year olds), so I can't speak to the UNE online course at all. But in assuming that all intro...
