  3. Is DePaul MENP an MSN program?

    It's an MS in nursing, not an MSN. This is because at depaul, the school of nursing is through the college of science & health, not a college of

  4. graduating with 3.0 - is it not good enough

    jj224 replied to smile2906's topic in General Students

    GPA shouldn't matter too much for a job. Possibly if you're applying to a new grad residency program, but other than that it won't matter. I'd rather work with a competent 3.0 that works their butt...

  8. Job Roles

    jj224 replied to leslancaster's topic in General Students

    If you get pulled off your unit, another nurse will take your assingment. They'd most likely avoid this, as they would have to pay you RN pay to perform duties of a scrub

  9. Low GPA school options

    jj224 replied to Abguy's topic in General Students

    Retake classes and boost your GPA. Do this at a community college to save money. There are a handful of sketchy schools that have pretty low admission requirements, but cost an arm and a leg. I...

  10. Why or why not CRNA?

    jj224 replied to AlrightMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Had I gone into college better informed I likely would have pursued the route I mentioned. I never said nurse anesthesia wasn't a good field, but just be aware salaries aren't what they once were. If...

  11. Why or why not CRNA?

    jj224 replied to AlrightMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    AlrightMike. 4 years may seem like a lot, but to make an extra 100k + per year is definitely worth it. At least in my

  12. Why or why not CRNA?

    jj224 replied to AlrightMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not every state & especially hospitals allow independent practice for CRNAs. Will it get there? Eventually, but for now this is the practice climate. Fact is that in Chicago, for example, there...

  15. Why or why not CRNA?

    jj224 replied to AlrightMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Go to med school. 4 years college + 4 years school. 3-4 years anesthesiology residency (you'll be paid, but not a ton). You'll be done at 30.. And make 200-300k for 30-35

  16. Starting in the Fall, what to read/study to prepare

    jj224 replied to ksw1978's topic in General Students

    I recommend relaxing and spending time with family and friends before school starts. Just my 2¢.. You will be fairly busy once school starts. I suppose the medical math part can be intimidating at...

    jj224 replied to Amazing86's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  20. MSN to be more competitive?

    jj224 replied to kj954's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Agree with everything above, except CRNA isn't becoming more competitive. I'd say the opposite, actually. More and more schools opening up taking less experienced, lower GPA, etc
