1. Spring Arbor vs Walden

   RN_2001 replied to Jlower1's topic in NP Students

   I say go for it! Walden is accredited and that's all that matters. I know three people personally very well (coworkers) that went through Walden's NP Program and NONE of them had a problem getting a job. Zip. Zero. In fact, I think one of the a...

2. A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

   RN_2001 replied to RN_2001's topic in SRNA

   Who cares? Isn't that what a rant is? LOL geez. God forbid anyone ever expresses their frustration. No, going into debt for $300k+ at this stage in my life isn't worth it.

3. A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

   RN_2001 replied to RN_2001's topic in SRNA

   Yes, of course I really did want an answer to the question and to the posters who did answer it I thanked them for their responses. The point of the rant was to explain the lead-up to the question and well, to vent. Surely there are other people ou...

   Oh, I forgot. I have ENPC also.

5. A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

   RN_2001 replied to RN_2001's topic in SRNA

   Two years prematurely is hardly last minute, but whatever. It was more than a couple, but OK. Three undergraduate degrees, presidential scholarship recipient, BSN from a Top Ten school with a 4.0 GPA, CCRN, CEN certifications, TNCC, PALS, ACLS, BLS...

6. A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

   RN_2001 replied to RN_2001's topic in SRNA

   No, I do not want to get a doctorate. I stated that outright. There are various reasons for not wanting one, none of which have anything to do with "attitude." I think you missed the points that I made, which were 1) lamenting that schools were *pr...

   Thanks for the response.

8. A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

   RN_2001 replied to RN_2001's topic in SRNA

   I'm an older established person with a family so moving for school is out of the question. Thank you for the suggestion nonetheless.

9. A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

   RN_2001 replied to RN_2001's topic in SRNA

   No, I don't want it "bad enough" for a doctorate but I do for a master's. It's the principle. Cost for school is already high enough and they want to milk another year of tuition out of students? How oh how did the healthcare system ever function ...

10. A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

    RN_2001 posted a topic in SRNA

    Hello all, So I’ve been a (BSN) nurse for many years and finally decided to go back for a master’s in anesthesia only to find that the programs at the master’s levels have been phased out already even though they don’t really need to be until 2022?! ...

11. Have you ever gotten really sick from a patient?

    RN_2001 posted a topic in Stress 101

    Just got out of hospital following exposure to a patient with viral gastroenteritis. I was so sick that I spent two days in critical care for hypovolemic shock. For several years now it hasn't been uncommon for me to get a GI bug once a year, always ...
