  1. DNP required soon?

    lyela replied to deadsoul's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    "misguided"? What are you talking about? After graduation from medical school, having taken only 3 steps of the USMLE series, that person is called a "doctor" before they set foot in a hospital...

  2. difference between Nurse Anesthetist and anesthesiologist

    lyela replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Honest, yeah right!? What does the same surgical resident do when something goes wrong..... puts their tail between their legs and begs forgiveness from the attending. Honest is in short supply in...

  3. I'm in at case western 2010!!! Anyone else??

    lyela replied to SCVICURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    For Case/CCF, more experience would be helpful, as would a couple of As in a graduate level science course. If you do retake the GRE make sure you work hard at improving your score by setting aside...

    lyela replied to SCVICURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just some friendly advice: You are more likely to get an opinion on your chances if you post your statistics. Good

  5. St Elizabeth anesthesia interview for 2010

    lyela replied to Mariajisella's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Be very care of Caribbean medical school. Although, they do grant an MD degree which allows you to take the USMLE, the problem comes when you try to get a residency. Most residencies want US...

  6. RN (CRNA degree from abroad)-> CRNA

    lyela replied to ciber-1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The most definitive answer you can get is by contacting a program director of a nurse anesthesia program. In most cases it involves petitioning the dean of the school or the department designated...

    lyela replied to SCVICURN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Can you please give an attribution for the information about financial aid? If these problems are true, they need to be addressed long before we commit to going to a particular school, especially...

  8. One year CRNA program?

    lyela replied to MsHazel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    If training was not regulated by physicians, the ACT Model wouldn't exist. A lot of SRNAs have to cue up for procedures, while residents go to the head of the line. It seems to me this is...

  9. One year CRNA program?

    lyela replied to MsHazel's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Sorry to highjack this thread but: Why don't the MDs just put-up or shut-up and set-up one recertification test for all providers- MDs, AAs and CRNAs. DOs can certify by the same ABMS boards that...

  10. Education Advice Needed

    lyela replied to Amy Kate 03's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Having just gone through a number of interviews, the feed back I received has been that your time in ICU is more important than spending that same time working on a masters. As strange as it seems,...

  11. CRNA vs. ACNP

    lyela replied to jmeng's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I just got in and asked the same questions- Here is my advice: 1. If you can afford the time and money, yes by all means. 2. It will certainly get you an interview at most schools- the rest is up to...

    YOO HOO, Me too! Got a letter today, mailed last Friday, but took 6 day to go 100 miles. OMG, I feel so

  14. Please help! CRNA school for Post-Master student

    lyela replied to suvatata94's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My experience; I have an MSN and applied to 6 NA programs this year, some very good programs and all waived the GRE requirement. It is best to write the program director to find out for sure. I wrote...

  15. Does Ohio have really good nursing schools?

    lyela replied to pumpkin1984's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Not sure what you mean by "really good" nursing school, but by national standards, CWRU and U. of Cincinnati are some of best in the country both undergraduate and graduate. You need to tell us more...

    lyela replied to houndnurse's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Houndnurse, What you are experiencing is beginning to occur all across America. Many of the graduating nurses this spring will have a great shock when they realize the "Nursing Shortage" is a...

  17. Maumee, Ohio / I am moving there soon

    lyela replied to IlovenursingRN's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Hi Susan, Welcome to NW Ohio. St. Lukes is a good hospital to work at from everything I have heard- maybe the best in the area. It is very easy to get to, located just off an interstate and at...

    lyela replied to mrreah's topic in Ohio Nursing

    As a postscript to the above information the president of UT stated that the UT Medical Center will be closing a whole unit and the layoffs have increased to 70. Don't say you haven't been

  19. What is going on in Toledo????

    lyela replied to mrreah's topic in Ohio Nursing

    No nursing shortage here in NW Ohio. Sorry to have to tell you but it is looking pretty bleak for employment in the health care industry. I graduated last May and had to get a job 3 hours away....

  22. Ranking of PhD in Nursing programs

    lyela replied to Corey Narry's topic in Post Graduate Students

    For anyone considering a graduate school, I would recommend "The Grad School Handbook" by Jerrard & Jerrard. It is a quick read, but can prevent a naiveté student like myself from wasting years...

  23. Ranking of PhD in Nursing programs

    lyela replied to Corey Narry's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I tend to agree with above poster. Having been in the "Publish or parish" culture, quantity rarely equal quality and sadly often interferes with didactic

  24. RN to MD?

    lyela replied to flygirls2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm not sure we have a disagreement here. The scenario the OP described was one of a student graduating with a degree in nursing applying to medical school because of a preference for that...

  25. RN to MD?

    lyela replied to flygirls2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You can, but you have a strike against you. You will be competing with applicants who have decided on pre-med courses and had their eyes on an MD for a long time. They also take more than the minimum...
