  1. Yes, another question about CRNA pay?

    Have a reference to back that
  2. Really depends on the school you want. A lot of people told me to apply to 5 or more schools to better your chances of getting in. Also make sure you have strong reference letters. I retook a...
  3. So what is your overall GPA? Sounds like you may need to both types of classes. You need a minimum of 3.0 GPA at a lot of schools but that is not what a competitive GPA would be for most schools. Some...
  4. I would pick the best three well written references. I would only send what they ask for. They may get several hundred applicants and have enough to read
  5. Free for you but not free. I have GI Bill but tuiton is
  6. Critical care can be in a ER and PACU if the patient load meets that requirement. If you work in a low level ICU you may not meet the requirement either. The requirement includes patients that require...
  7. I would go for the PCU job with hopes of getting into the ICU. A regular ICU or CCU has been what most people have suggested. Some programs will take high acuity PACU and ER, but a lot require
  8. Advice on what path to take!!!

    Big con for you is that there is a good chance you will not be able to attend school in Florida or even work there immediately after graduation. My understanding has been that you should be prepared...
  9. It would make sense that a tattoo would not matter if you can't see it. If you can see a huge tattoo on someone at the interview then it can be off-putting. My hospital makes you cover them and if...
  10. I believe they mean last 60 hours. It would be cumulative. The only thing I have heard people say that they separate is the science from nursing. You may want to retake some courses to be more...
  11. A lot of people in CRNA school have not worked
  12. Accept a tech position?

    I personally would not go to the interviews. I would cancel and explain that I had passed NCLEX. Is the market really that bad for a new RN? If not I would definately look for a RN position and not...
  13. Need encouragement please

    It comes down to it, then take out the loans you need to
  14. Fair enough. And I did say that you probably had the better perspective. I understand what you are saying. Like we see a highschool student or someone in a different career field giving advice about...
  15. The amazing thing to me is how nasty some of the physician sites get. There is one that treats our educational programs like crap and tells people to pretty much demand a doctor over a CRNA. I know...
  16. Well apparently the OP has stated to the contrary. I would post a lot of questions here because this has the most active posts and would probably receive the most variety of thoughts. Not saying what...
  17. It should be as simple as looking at your school of choice's website. Should have all the info you need. I would believe that you will not be able to apply until a 1-2 yr minimum work experience in...
  18. Just opinions but the OP started a discussion and never stated that they only wanted to hear from CRNAs. I'm not a politician but am I still allowed to argue politics? Thank you for your positive...
  19. How are RNs and housing comparable? All my classmates had jobs right after grad and my hospital hires new one all the time. It depends on where you want to live or willing to work. As far as the...
  20. Just make sure you keep those grades up. The accelerated programs can be rough. Now from your title are you going for CRNA of
  21. No it does not but the OP still needs to meet the overall 3.0 GPA if it is a minimum requirement at their choice school. Seems like you would be well suited for Psych NP, did you have a change of...
  22. Well that actually sounds better than just saying because your family has a history of MH. I think the other person just decided that you did not look into it very much. It would be like me saying I...
  23. Invited but did you get accepted? Not to discount your masters degrees but C's in all your sciences would probably not look good. Not sure what your masters degree consisted of but if it was not...
  24. Male going into nursing (hopefully)

    Quotas suck and most people would agree that positions should be merit based, but they are not always that way. If it were truely fair, then each application would be given a number and their stats,...
  25. Male going into nursing (hopefully)

    Do you know that gender is not considered? Was this just your school? Collleges absolutely have quotas to fill, so why would there not be a catergory for men in a predominately female filled...
