    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Again with tangents... nobody is talking about what’s best for bedside

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Speak for yourself... I think the programs make a difference. Furthermore, as an educator, I can say that the student gets out what they put into their own education. Two people can take the same...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, the RN MD guy had me all twisted going on tangents about his special class of research. And then you quoted me and I wasn’t sure what part of the conversation you were quoting. And I should...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I mean, you may think that Research class in the BSN was worthless... but guess what my first course was in the CRNA program.... Research There is no hand-holding, so without a prior research class,...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I never said ADNs didn’t have care-plans. I was talking about the chem degree. But obviously a shorter program will have less to do. And sure, I’ll retract my statement on the specific classes I...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I never attended a BSN program so I wouldn’t know... and I’m not a CRNA student, so i really don’t know.... oh wait, that was sarcasm. I am a DNP-Anesthesia student with a BSN. If BSN...

    Ok um..... on a side note, you have a keen sense for interjecting with irrelevant information/comments... ? What thread are you posting in? That has nothing to do with this topic...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree with that... Easier than a astrophysics degree too... lol. That's actually exactly what I said. But that wasn't really part of the original question/topic/discussion, which was debating...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I think that if you pursued your CRNA goals, you would not have found your BSN useless--especially if it was a program entrance requirement. You would also have more insight here as to which degree...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    I am not talking specifically about RN-BSN. I never attended an ADN program; I went straight to BSN. In my opinion, the knowledge more helpful in a BSN program include--but are not limited...

    LouDogg replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I turned in at the priority deadline, but chose my interview slot for late January. I was one of the last selected students. They still held interviews for waitlist spots after that, and a couple...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    My response was to the inference that a chemistry degree is useful for a CRNA education, yet a BSN is somehow an easy to obtain and useless degree to earn before beginning a CRNA program. I think the...

    Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    LouDogg replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Funny... you don’t have a nursing license and have not finished a nursing program, and have already called the BSN education useless. That just seems like a very naive and immature perspective from...

    You do not have to take them at the same college. They will be averaged cumulatively. It only may be easier to take them at a previously attended college so that you they are on the same transcript,...

    LouDogg replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don’t think reaching out will make a difference, but it will not hurt. They may even be able to tell you why you were not selected (maybe). I would imagine you are a strong candidate except for...

    Thomas Jefferson University CRNA 2020

    LouDogg replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's going well. The first semester is not incredibly difficult, but a lot of busy work. 5 classes, unless you have some graduate work already completed. It is 100% online, except for 2 exams that are...

    Masters vs DNP?

    LouDogg replied to sicurnccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    For NPs, I agree. For CRNA, the extra 36 months is not a huge commitment, and the salary is increase is drastic. Between MS or DNP, my program is 36 months and other MS CRNA programs range from about...

    Masters vs DNP?

    LouDogg replied to sicurnccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If the time period to completion is similar, the better investment of that time may be DNP. But there are way too many personal variables (cost, lifestyle, future plans, location) to answer the...
