  1. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That sucks! But I'm curious -- if she applied after being there for 9 months, and knowing that most CRNA programs have admissions cycles that begin a year before (intended) matriculation, wouldn't she...

  2. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for your input. Actually, at this point, I'm about to start at a new ADN program (hopefully) in January, so I'm not sure if I'll end up pursuing a BSN or not after that. If I do, it will...

  3. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Hedgehog25 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry for the confusion; I stated "new grad" because that's the stage I'll be at when I'm finally ready/qualified to go Heidi-hunting. Also, regarding CRNA programs and experience, what I meant was...

  4. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Hedgehog25 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks for the sympathy. I really need it, especially since I applied to every local nursing program area in my area and got accepted to... all of them. And that's AFTER I failed out of the first...

  5. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Hedgehog25 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To put it simply, she "called me out," so to speak, so I just responded accordingly. To try and answer your other question, based on what I've learned via researching many of the CRNA programs...

  6. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Hedgehog25 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, what's hilarious is your insistence that one failure will inevitably and unavoidably lead to another failure. It's okay, because you sound like you're obviously under substantial stress at work...

  7. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Hedgehog25 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh yes, you'll have to excuse SionainnRN; she disapproves of anyone who fails out of nursing school and matriculates at another one with the intention of even at ATTEMPTING to apply to CRNA schools...

  8. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Hedgehog25 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am single, I have no kids, and I have no ex-wives. As a new grad, I hope to sign-on at a place with a Heidi. Does this make me a bad

  9. I Lost All Respect For A Colleague Today

    Hedgehog25 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So Ruby... you, uh, got any pics of this "Heidi" character? (blurred-out face, of

  10. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh, I'm listening to you and understand what you're saying, and I acknowledge that things might not go as planned. I guess I'm just trying to stay optimistic that things might work out this time....

  11. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yep, I think it's called being hard-headed, and I won't deny that's what I am. I guess I am just a blind optimist, figuring that if I can pull-off a 4.0 over the next 3 semesters, then I will do...

  12. Student Nurse with a poop problem

    Hedgehog25 replied to Grrrse's topic in Men in Nursing

    OP, I am in exactly the same situation you're in, except mine is possibly worse. On several occasions, I have actually considered dropping out of nursing school and going to PA or medical school...

  13. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I realize that many job markets have gotten tough for new grads over the last few years, but the point I was trying to make was that, in my area at least, there is still a (more-or-less) 100% job...

  14. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Also, to briefly add, I know several folks who have gotten accepted with only 5-6 months of experience by at least a few programs in Florida. I'm not sure if they're poorly-reputed schools or not, but...

  15. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Of course -- anytime somebody fails not just any class, but a NURSING (or any other health professions) course, it's going to raise eyebrows. That's why I made this thread in the first place; I was...

  16. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's unfortunate to hear about your experiences with your co-workers. I guess all I can say is, I respect your opinion, but at the same time, if I apply to a broad array of CRNA programs and one of...

  17. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It wasn't my intention to come across as if I'm "too good" for nursing. Something I don't understand is why so many nurses are against the notion of entering nursing with the specific intentions of...

  18. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    ThePrincessBride, without giving away too many potentially self-identifying details, I (and most) would consider my failure to be more of a clinical-related "fluke" than an issue pertaining to a lack...

  19. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    SionainnRN, I know of several other people (granted, they didn't fail out of school) who applied with only 5 or 6 months of experience and were accepted on the contingency that they have at least a...

  20. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Oh, I'm definitely sure that I want to be a CRNA. I'm one of those dreaded "went-into-nursing-just-to-be-a-CRNA" students. I have actually already taken the GRE when I previously considered going to a...

  21. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks for the encouraging words. I will definitely earn competitive grades from this point onward. Just out of curiosity, do you say that I will need 2-4 years of ICU experience because of my...

  22. Chances of getting into CRNA school after failing out of an ADN program?

    Hedgehog25 replied to Hedgehog25's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, just to provide a brief update, it's looking increasingly likely that I'll be accepted to start in January at a new ADN program, so that's a positive development, at least. However, this...

    Has everybody already taken the COMPASS Reading & Writing test? That's the last thing I need to take care of before I can apply. Guess I'll be doing that sometime next

    Hedgehog25 replied to ShunFutureRn's topic in School, College Programs

    I have gone to 2 different universities, so I'm not sure how to go about calculating my GPA either. Looks like I'll be calling them this week... BTW, ShunnRN, did you re-take the NLN? How did it go?...

  25. columbus technical college SPRING 2015

    Hedgehog25 replied to ShunFutureRn's topic in School, College Programs

    I sure hope it's not. As far as I know, the only pre-requisites we have to take are those listed on the info sheet (e.g., A&P, Microbio, Psych, etc.). BTW, for those of us who are taking...
