  1. Rant: DNP is a joke

    Go-GetterRN replied to ItsGonnabeOKAY's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There are many DNP and DNAP programs that do not sacrifice clinical experience for 'research' or other fluff. Sudents in these programs tend to get more clinical time before graduating (24 months vs...

  2. Texas Wesleyan University CRNA 2016

    Go-GetterRN replied to jj209918's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Haven't heard a word from TWU, even regarding an interview. They are kind of behind the ball compared to other programs I applied to, but they also take 100 more students than the other

  3. LSUHSC vs Bryan College for Nurse Anesthesia?

  4. Don't like nursing at all, what can I do with my BSN?

    Go-GetterRN replied to lostrnugh's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Get an easier job. M-F at urgent care or a doctor's office. Surgery, PACU, Home Health, school nurse, etc. There are a million things you can do as a nurse, so theres no sense in being somewhere you...

  5. LSUHSC vs Bryan College for Nurse Anesthesia?

    Go-GetterRN replied to happyoxide's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Congrats! Sounds like both programs have a lot to offer. Is either closer to your home or family/friends? Would you rather have more experience with central lines or regional blocks when you graduate?...

  6. Texas Wesleyan University CRNA 2016

    Go-GetterRN replied to jj209918's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yes, and the dates you interview vary depending on your clinical site. The school has to communicate with the clinical affiliates to come up with a date and time, so it will be different depending on...

  7. Applying to a program due for accreditation

    Go-GetterRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    One of the CRNA progams I applied to is up for re-accreditation on the first year I would be in the program. I need some advice. Is it risky to attend a program that is due for re-accreditation? If I...

  9. Applying to a program due for accreditation

    Go-GetterRN replied to Go-GetterRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The program's graduates have had good pass rates on the certification exam, and they have had low attrition rates. I don't really know what else to look at as far as getting re-accredited is...

  10. Can I go to postgraduate for CRNA with an RN and a bachelors in biomedical?

    Go-GetterRN replied to fgomez32's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Most programs want you to have a bachelors in nursing to apply. Others would let you apply with your current bachelors degree as long as you meet all the other requirements. Look where you want to...

  11. Texas Wesleyan University CRNA 2016

    Go-GetterRN replied to jj209918's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hmm, still haven't heard anything from them. I got in somewhere else a few weeks ago so it might be their loss for waiting lol. What clinical site are you interviewing for

  12. Just a few questions

    Go-GetterRN replied to BecomingNursey's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I cant imagine they would care where you complete your BSN. Science classes, pharmacology, etc are the classes they really care about. I agree that if it was between you and another candidate that...

  14. Still on orientation....need a letter of recommendation

    Go-GetterRN replied to Brooklynn89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why not get your previous supervisor from the NICU to be a reference if it was only a few months

  15. RN tired of feeling like a waitress

    Go-GetterRN replied to sweetcindylou51's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you are ashamed to have the word "nurse" in your title, please do something

  18. Interview timeline question

    Go-GetterRN replied to aerorunner80's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Im in a similar situation. How are you going to get off work if you are scheduled on the day they interview? That seems like it will be the biggest problem for me. I have thought about trying to call...

  19. Please Advise: Low Cumulative GPA- Potential CRNA Applicant

    Go-GetterRN replied to MissRis13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Search for programs that consider applicants with low GPAs. I have heard there are a few. It still isn't likely you will get accepted there because most other applicants will have a solid GPA. Also,...

  20. University of Kansas- CRNA interview tips please!!!!

    Go-GetterRN replied to yta1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Can any recent students or graduates inform us how this program is now? More specifically dealing with clinicals...does KU prepare students to be independent providers upon graduation? I applied for...

  22. How I got into CRNA school.

    Go-GetterRN replied to Powertrip's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Kemminsc, look to see if there are any accelerated nursing programs for students who already hold a bachelors degree in your area. If not, I would say go ahead and switch to a nursing degree now. I...

  23. Deciding between 2 schools

    Go-GetterRN replied to nursejackie821's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'd go Minneapolis if I were you. Both schools have a good clinical component and are pretty equal other than tuition and board pass rates. If they can be that laid back AND produce students that pass...

  24. Cheating in an FNP program

    Go-GetterRN replied to elise1180's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm afraid things like this are going to make NPs the laughingstock of all medical providers. Once enough of these students cheat their way through online schooling and start harming patients, it will...

  25. a bit confused about DNP

    Go-GetterRN replied to NurseSN45696's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can become a CRNA with either a masters or doctorate degree right now. In the year 2025 (supposedly) the only way to become a crna will be with a doctorate. Everyone who has a masters by that time...
