Like the above already said, get back full time in ICU right away. Schools want current ICU experience. I wouldn’t worry about old science classes and an advanced pathophys class can’t hurt....
I have to disagree with the above. You don’t go from anesthesia tech to CRNA, but you can go from CNA in the ICU, to RN in the ICU, to CRNA. Knowing how to stock the anesthesia supplies is not...
Very little benefit. Like mentioned above - you might be able to get credit for a couple classes. That was the case for me. I could have transferred in grad level nursing research and theory courses....
Fall interviews start next week. I am guessing if you were waitlisted in the spring you would have to wait til those are over and offers are extended and they see who turns down a seat, so gonna be a...
I would just go get my ADN and then get my future employer to pay for some online BSN down the road. Community college nursing programs are great and produce quality nurses at a fraction of the cost...
Everything you have done so far is right on track and also the same things everyone else who is applying is doing. I am sure you will shadow a CRNA if you have not already, but that is kind of a...
OP must be too young to remember Occupy Wall Street, but this is a pretty safe bet as far as ROI. Imagine being 100k in debt with a bachelor’s degree in whatever and not being able to get a job....
Yeah what BigPappa said. I am sure there are practicing CRNAs with lazy eyes. I am still in school, but the only time I have had to do anything with only one eye was looking in the eye piece of a...
I’m going to Wake Forest. As for the decision to not wait, well, I figured it couldn’t hurt to see what a couple other schools said while I was waiting to reapply and if I got in to one - I would...
I would cast a wide net and see what happens. Those stats are fine, but everyone else applying has the same ones or better. I think it is fine to have a plan for the school you really want but you...
I know VCU will consider ER if you can prove that you actually had experience with all the stuff you see in the ICU - but it certainly just seems easier to go ahead and work in an ICU, especially...
Yeah. If you want a job as a CNA you need a CNA license. You can take a class for a few to several weeks for usually less than $1000 to obtain. Or if you finished a certain length of a nursing program...
All this information is readily available on the web, but I’ll chime in on the absolute fastest way to do it. Well since you are almost 30 and in the tech field, we will assume you hold a...
To the above question. Carefully read all their FAQs etc on the webpage. Do not just seek out the highest ranking person you can do write you a recommendation. I chose a coworker who was a charge...
I can’t remember all of them. He is putting his hope in Middle Tennessee with their rather large class size. He did well on GRE and has been a nurse a while. But seriously, I did my BSN online for...
