    DNP vs MD

    Terpole replied to healthstar's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I just don't see the reasoning of this. But I'm by no means criticizing this position. I just think an increased load of education without quantifiable, measurable gains for the student makes...

    Wondering if I'm making the right choice...

    Terpole replied to SummerWertz's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It sounds like if you did do CRNA, you might be unfulfilled because you're not a MDA. You're young and have the time to invest to be a MDA. Don't give up on being a MDA because what he said. Go for...

    FUTURE CRNA

    Terpole replied to lynnjohnson13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    OP, you really have to prioritize your plan. I know you're focused on the end of the road, being a CRNA, but nursing school is hard, ICU nursing is harder, and getting accepted into a program is even...

    Terpole replied to JUSTanLPN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Everyone makes valid points. And this isn't the first time I've heard oversaturation in some markets. A professor I spoke with at FIU told me while the boom times of the mid 2000s are gone, there's...

    Any applicants to Florida Gulf Coast University?

    Terpole replied to RN2784's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    hey jon. I'm also applying for spring '14 admission. I don't have any info except some emails with the program director. I just asked him about clinicals and stuff. I've got everything done and sent...

    2 semesters down at TWU (Texas Wesleyan) CRNA program, ask away!

    Terpole replied to SRNA1985's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    TWU is the school with clinical sites everywhere right? Are you at one of the distance sites? If so, how do you guys do classroom instruction? Have you started clinicals yet? Is it really impossible...

    How to become an anesthetist after you already have a masters?

    Terpole replied to mmcnabb3's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think you can save yourself some alot of unnecessary waste of time, money, etc. if you just withdraw from your MSN program and start working on the application requirements for CRNA school

    VCU vs. Georgetown

    Terpole replied to kdlrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Tough decision. I'm sure you know this already, VCU is probably the 'Harvard' of nursing anesthesia (so I'm told) but Gerogetown is right up there with them. If it comes down to cost you between the...

    Is it worth taking MSN core classes to become a "competitive applicant"?

    Terpole replied to Spoiled1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It depends on the school. Some hold CCRN in higher regard than MSN classes. I would only take advanced patho if you're going to take classes

    Terpole replied to OscarRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    yikes, man that sounds like alot of time, money, and hassle. I'm just going from (north) FL to MD. I'm single with no kids and I could probably fit all my things in a large DIY truck. I done a pod...

    Funding the CRNA expenses

    Terpole replied to mandof5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    A new grad CRNA making half of 135k? That's what a staff nurse makes in most parts of the country. Wouldn't make much sense financially to do CRNA if that was the

    Funding the CRNA expenses

    Terpole replied to mandof5's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Most new grads will start out around 135k a year. If one were to live as if they were on an RN salary and use the rest for debt payment you could probably get rid of the 90k in student loans in 2 to 3...

    Entry-Level CRNA's will need DNPs by the end of 2015??
