Apex is 100% online. It will prepare you for boards. They do not offer lecture style learning. Read the reviews. It is worth it.

CRNA Schools… Where Will You Apply? - All CRNA Schools

Don't tell anyone until you are accepted. Even then, don't tell anyone until you have to give notice. You will be treated differently and get poor assignments. It's just not worth it. Even your "friends" will chew you up if they find out you want...

Get your 1 year and apply. The worst that can happen is they say no.

My info is outdated (3 years ago). The program is new. They don't have great clinical sites (they encourage you to find people who will precept you). It is at a top medical university and I am confident that the program will turn out to be great, ...

You should have no problem getting in. You will most likely get asked why, which is good. You get to explain what happened, that you lost your focus, and then recovered brilliantly. I had similar difficulties when I first began college. I took so...

Stay in ICU. There is no need for you to get PACU experience at this time. ICU experience is what they are looking for.

The Columbia and Greenville groups attend all the same classes and are conferenced together with cameras. You can hear and see each other. Sometimes the teacher is in Greenville, and sometimes they are in Columbia. It works well. The Greenville c...

The interviews are all about personality. They will ask you tough questions that will be above your knowledge level. Don't EVER BS an answer... they will know. I think I answered "I don't know" at least 15 times to questions they asked. I answere...

Go with the resident. It will reflect the confidence that they have in your abilities as a nurse and your ability to work together as a team, each playing a vital part in the care of your patients.

Are you dead? Then no! You are not too old. I graduated at 45. If anything it helps in clinical because people assume you have been doing this a while and are put at ease quickly.

I wouldn't worry about it so much. Get through the didactic and then focus on clinical. Once you are there, sign up for Apex, Valley, or Prodigy. I am personally using Apex. Passing your classes gives you the right to take the NCE, one of these c...

No one is throwing money at you. I graduate in May and will have 200K in debt when all is said and done. Nurse anesthesia is one profession where you can realistically pay off the debt within 5 years (with proper budgeting). Don't let the debt sto...

I never took physics or organic chemistry. It wasn't required by my program. Only about 1/2 of the programs out there require these courses so I would look at where you want to apply and see if you need to take them.

I graduate soon and in my class of 30, only one of us had a deal with a hospital to work for them in exchange for a stipend while in school. It is not very common. Your best bet is to join the military. They will cover tuition and give you a stipe...

I am sure you have signed up for a study program like Apex, Prodigy, or Valley. Study like you want it and you will do fine. There is no easy way through it. Good luck.

I don't know the program specifically, but for the most part they are not as concerned about the depth of your knowledge as much as they want to see your personality. They want to see that you are a hard worker and that you will be nice to work with...

Most ICU nurses don't place many IV's and when they do, they are on really sick, edematous patients. As an SRNA you will place many, many IV's and usually after they are already asleep and have dilated veins (much easier). A-lines are taught as wel...

I got accepted to ASU this week and GCU is telling me that I am "unofficially" accepted. Does anybody have any insight as to which school is better? I have heard some negative things about ASU from RN's that I work with and I have heard good things...

I didn't save anything. Loans will be sufficient if you have to or need to take them. Obviously it's best to get through without them, but that is not always possible and I wouldn't let that stop you. Good luck.

1. Yes you can shadow a CRNA. You will just need to find one willing to let you shadow them. I highly recommend this because you don't want to start down this path unless you are sure this is what you want. It's a long hard road. 2. The minimum ...

You will need lots and lots of loans. You will need to be prepared to have a co-signer if your credit is not great, or incase they decide not to give you the loan because you are not working. I am borrowing the max each semester and will have close...

Actually, they are not testing your knowledge, but your ability to admit you don't know something and not to try to BS. They will know if you are lying. The interview is all about personality. Yes, they want you to have experience, and knowledge, ...

Yep! You made a huge mistake. You haven't even graduated and you are giving up. Nursing is not for you. You were expecting red carpets to be rolled out and job offers to come flooding in and when that didn't happen, you did the only thing your ge...

Jobs at a high acuity hospitals are out there. Working at a larger hospital will look better on your applications and will give you more experience as well with "sicker" patients. If you simply can't find one, you can always take the small hospital...
