  1. Best "fast-track" advice for an older career changer.

    Ok then. How do you like me now?
  2. Not sure CRNA is for me

    So why don't you?
  3. Sad Boards

    Hey CrnaRose. I'm going to be starting school in a few months. Just wanted to say good luck. Don't get down on yourself. Hope the second time is your charm.
  4. Makes sense.
  5. Working while in CRNA school...

    You cannot work while in crna school nor would you want to. The workload is going to be insane.
  6. Paying for your program & living expenses

    I'm not an expert in this as I have yet to go through it myself. With that said, the students that spoke to me during my interview stated that your disbursement will total $10,250 every 4 months, which will leave you with approximately $2,000 extra a...
  7. Jane Fitch MD, prior CRNA, now Anesthesiologist elected president ASA

    JWK, you should reread the posts that you conveniently disregard in your argument. You are wrong. Yes, physicians are very well-trained, but so are nurses. The two disciplines come from very different starting points, but this doesn't mean one is bet...
  8. PRE CRNA

    The DNAP sounds great and is a source of pride, but from everyone that I have asked, which includes MDA's and CRNA's, there doesn't seem to be any benefit in doing the DNAP at this point. As a doctoral prepared CRNA there is not a greater pool of job...
  9. I finally made it!!!!

    So cool. Congrats!
  10. Steps to become a CRNA?

    To get into CRNA school you only need to complete your ASN and become an RN. After that you are golden for gettting into a CRNA with a pharmacology degree, assuming you have the grades.
  11. Barry CRNA Starting 2016

    Most applicants are applying with ICU experience. They accept a lot of students meaning more than most other schools. If you have ICU experience and a decent resume' you have a good chance to get in, but the program is very difficult so make sure you...
  12. Boston-area and GRE

    Magoosh worked great for many friends of mine and myself. It's all online. Used it for a few months and took it. It's not that bad. Don't know anything about those schools, though. Good luck.
  13. wbtcrna, I totally agree with you. If you're going to put out information make sure it's correct and not wrong. Whoever said $200,000 yearly for pharmacists wasn't even close. This goes to keeping with professionalism and that's what we are trying to...
  14. Recommendation Letter after only 1 year?

    You may want to wait a little before applying. It's going to be tough to get into a decent program with only a year under your belt unless you nail the GRE and your GPA is stellar. With that said, if you're dead-set on applying now I would try and ge...
  15. FIU interviews 2014

    Salutations, your GRE score is outstanding. Take the CCRN and knock the interview out of the park and you should be fine. I had 3.7 last 60, 156/153, CCRN, 2 years CVICU. The interview was friendly. All the staff and SRNA's were very informative and ...
  16. FIU interviews 2014

    Hey Isaac, hope you got some good news yesterday or the day before. I was fortunate enough to get in along with some other people I know. Good luck. Keep us posted.
  17. FIU interviews 2014

    Thank you, Salutations. Seemed like they went well, but you never know. Haven't heard anything yet. I heard we would hear something by August 30th, but that is tomorrow, which is a Saturday. I'm not sure if anyone els has heard anything from them.
  18. MSN SRNA vs. DNAP SRNA Schooling

    Pretty cool to able to utilize that title in practice. Then I would work damn hard to maintain that level care.
  19. If you get through your next ADN and BSN and your GPA continues to be above a 3.0 you should not have any problems applying to and getting accepted at some CRNA schools. Of course, everything depends on your experience in ICU, CCRN, GRE scores, inter...
  20. FIU interviews 2014

    Thank you. You, as well.
  21. FIU interviews 2014

    I applied to the doctorate program. With FIU's well regarded MSN program I jumped at the chance to apply for their doctorate track. It will be a cool thing to possibly be apart of their first graduating DNAP cohort.
  22. FIU interviews 2014

    Hey Isaac, I received an email, as well. Very excited about the potential opportunity to go to this school :)
  23. FIU interviews 2014

    Hey, I've applied and am also waiting to hear from them. They stated that if you are applying for the DNAP Program you should hear about an interview in early August. If you are trying for the MSN you are most likely to hear from them around November...
  24. One semester left and I'm scared I'll fail!!

    Hang in there. I'm just trying to get into a CRNA program. You're scaring me. You're almost done. You're almost there.
  25. MSN-DNP

    Thank you. I thought the same thing. I don't want to have to go back to obtain another degree after this. I want to focus on my career and family. God willing I get accepted and make it through school. Once I start applying for jobs as a new graduate...
