Nurse Anesthetist
For the source and more detailed information concerning your request, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below this answer box.
A Nurse Anesthetist or CRNA is registered nurse who has satisfactorily completed an accredited nurse anesthesia training program. In 1980 the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists mandated that all applicants to nurse anesthetist programs must have a minimum of a Bachelor of Science (but not necessarily a bachelor's degree in nursing)-a requirement that took effect in July 1987. Nurse must gain at least one year of practice experience before entering an accredited nurse anesthesia training program. Following completion of a 2 to 3 year program they are required to pass a national certification examination.
Nurse anesthetists are nonphysician anesthetists who specialize in the provision of anesthesia care and participate in the administration of anesthesia in a variety of surgical cases. They are frequently supervised by an anesthesiologist, but may also work under the supervision of other physicians.

Do you have to go to university to become a paramedic?
Paramedics are certified in each different state which may be different. In my state (SC) you have to take a course as a Basic EMT, then be hired by a EMS provider. After a certain amount of time (usually 1 year) you are able to go to paramedic school which usually lasts about a year with classes, ride time and many hours of precep hours in a trauma center. To go to Paramedic School you have to have the recommendation of your EMS service Director and your Medical Control (Dr. who oversees your EMS service). There are also placement test and an Anatomy class you must take prior to Paramedic school. You would have to check with your state for their requirements. I know there are also college degrees in Emergency Medical Management but you don't have to have it.
Do you need an undergraduate to go to med school?
That's like saying, "Can I learn to fly an advanced jet without going to flight school first," Typically yes, you must complete your bachelors (undergraduate degree) first. However, there are some institutions that offer programs of study that combine the bachelors and master degree. Still, if you do find a school where you can complete a masters (graduate degree without first completing a bachelors, I would be very suspicious.

Why to choose MBA after architecture?
If you're looking to stay in architectural practice, it doesn't make much financial sense to do pursue an MBA. However, if you're looking to change careers and pursue real estate related fields such as real estate development, banking, and investment, then an MBA will make the transition much easier, especially if you have strong prior experience as an architect. Of course, there are many other variables that will factor into your future career (quality of MBA, work experience, personality, intelligence, networks, etc..) but assuming that all of these factors are strong, then an MBA will open up many other career opportunities in real estate. Having experience as an architect coupled with an MBA makes for a highly desirable and strong combination in the real estate world. As a former architect who made a transition into real estate development, I found that the MBA was extremely helpful in gaining a foothold into a field that would have been very difficult for me to enter without financial training. I also know of other architects who have entered real estate related finance and investment roles that are doing well.
One of the main reasons why you should choose an MBA program is the immense job potential that the course carries. Business administrators and managers are sought after by companies to take up leadership roles and drive growth. They are amongst the highest paid professionals in the country, widely respected for their skills and knowledge, and go on to become future entrepreneurs and leaders of the corporate world. If you are looking for a career change or advancement, want to become an entrepreneur, or just have a burning desire to learn and acquire new skills, you should consider getting an MBA.
What is goals and objectives of nstp?
The primary objective of the NSTPl is topromote the role of the youth in nation-building. As such, it aims to encourage the youth to become civic and/or military leaders and volunteers whom could be called upon by the nation in cases their services are needed.
In what order do you list your multiple degrees- eg BS MS Ph.D?
You list accomplishments from least to highest, unless they are in the same field. For multiple degrees in the same field, the terminal degree is the only one listed.
For example: A) Joe Smith obtained her BA in Psychology, than an MS in Psychology, followed by a PhD in Psychology. His entry would be: Joe Smith, PhD
B) Jane Smith obtained a BA in Psychology, an MBA in Business and an MS in Psychology, and a PhD in Psychology. Her listing would be: Jane Smith, MBA, PhD
Some rules about least to highest: an academic degree (e.g. MS or MA, PhD) is higher than a practical degree (e.g. MBA is listed before MS).
Finally, (I believe this is correct), any licenses held are at the end (A registered nurse who maintains a license to practice and holds a PhD would list PhD, RN).
I'm not sure how this works with an MD, which is technically a practical degree but is also a license to practice...perhaps that's why it's so common to see it both ways.
The previous entry stated:
It is generally accepted that one lists accomplishments from least to highest. Thus BA, BS, MA, PhD.
What type of degree does a clinical psychologist need?

Can you transfer college credits from a foreign country to your home country?
It is a possibility. However, most colleges and universities do not directly evaluate credits from outside of the US. Perspective students are typically required to have their coursework evaluated by an official evaluation agency within the United States. Still, this is not aguarantee the coursework will transfer. It will depend on whether a course is equivalent in credits, content, and if usable within the intended program of study (major). The evaluation just gives them something to go on. The most widely used evaluation on the eastern coast of the US the, World Education Services (WES) located in New York City. You will have to request a course by course evaluation.

What is a minor as opposed to a major in college?
The simple answer is number of credits. Generally each department within a college or university sets forth X number of credits (and classes) are required for a major and Y number of credits (and classes) are required for a minor. A major has more requirements than a minor. It is generally pretty cut and dried. You can usually find the specific requirements in the college handbook; increasingly one can find the information online. The specific requirements do vary from school to school.
AnswerLike previously said, the difference between Major and minor is the amount of credits. But also, A major is like the main focus on your career goal and a minor can be something to compliment it. For example, My major is elementary education. But, i also have a minor in spanish. The purpose of the minor is so that i may be able to teach elementary students spanish as well. Or another example can be a major in Business and minor in Finance, or a Major in Nursing and a minor in Biology. I think that's a good way to explain it.Which universities offer a internet Masters degree without a bachelor's degree?

What tools do you need to be an architect?
Architects use a variety of tools to measure. On the large scale normal tape measures and laser levels and surveying equipment. On the small scale for drawing they most commonly they use when drafting a three sided scale that has scaled measurements on them to base drawings off of. The scales on the inch based ruler are as follows. Side A) 1", 1/2", 1/4", 1/8". Side B) 3/4", 3/8", 3", 1-1/2". Side C) 1", 3/16", 3/32". There are also metric rulers with scales that can be used. Other methods of measuring can be done by using techniques such as descriptive geometry. Descriptive geometry is mathematical geometry that by drawing geometric shapes and "cutting" and "dividing" them creates perfect scale shapes and divided lines. Architects also use computer based modeling software such as AutoCAD, FormZ, Sketchup, and more to create scale based precise models and print drawings to build off of.
How many years dose it take an RN to get a masters degree?
The master's degree can take approximately two to three years to complete post bachelor's degree. The actual length of time depends on the specific program of study, the credit load carried per semester, and provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college or university.
How many credit hours earned a semester for associate's degree?
The associates degree is designed as a two year program of study as a full-time student provided the student takes the degree as prescribed by the college, and provided the student does not require prerequisite coursework as a result of basic skills testing. There are some programs of study that may take a bit longer depending on the number of credits required. Usually these are programs within the health related fields. In addition, for students who require developmental course work as a result of basic skills testing, it would take longer. How much longer would depend on the extent of the developmental courses they are required to take. Evidently, those individuals who attend college on a part-time based would also extend their time in school. How much longer would depend on the credit load carried each semester. Typically, an associates degree takes between 60 and 64 credits to complete depending on the specific school, program of study, and state mandates.
How many years does it take to become a family doctor?

What degree do you have to have to become a social worker?
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the education and training required for Sociologists and Political Scientists.
Some entry-level positions for sociologists and political scientists are available to those with a bachelor's degree, but higher degrees are required for the majority of positions. Prospects need good quantitative and qualitative skills.
Education and training. Whether working in government, industry, research organizations, or consulting firms, sociologists and political scientists with a bachelor's degree usually qualify for entry-level positions as a market analyst, research assistant, writer, or policy analyst. Graduates with master's degrees in applied specialties usually qualify for most administrative and research positions, while a Ph.D. degree is typically required for college and university teaching positions.
Training in statistics and mathematics is essential for many political scientists, who increasingly are using mathematical and quantitative research methods. The ability to use computers for research purposes is mandatory in most disciplines.
Many sociology and political science students can benefit greatly from internships. Numerous government agencies, as well as nonprofit and other organizations, offer internships or volunteer research opportunities. Also, the vast majority of colleges and universities have student organizations devoted to specific public policy issues, and many provide opportunities for debates, often hosted by the political science department.
While in college, aspiring sociologists and political scientists should gain experience gathering and analyzing data, conducting interviews or surveys, and writing reports on their findings. This experience can prove invaluable later in obtaining a full-time position in the field, because much of the work, especially in the beginning, may center on these duties.

What is the hardest college degree to get?
Answer
For this question there are two possible answers, Mathematics and Medicine.
Medicine is the hardest degree to apply to as higher grades are needed to enter the course, whereas the hardest degree to obtain is Mathematics very closely followed by Physics and then Engineering.
Physics and Engineering are difficult due in most part to their taxing applications of Mathematics onto real world problem solving. For those who aren't skilled in Applied Mathematics, yet succeed in Abstract Mathematics, these subjects may however seem more difficult than the broader topics of Pure Mathematics.
*edit*
I would disagree medicine would even make it into the top 10 hardest or most academically challenging degrees. I read medicine for 2 years at Edinburgh before opting for a career change, not because the course was taxing but because it was dull. I have since completed a BEng in Marine Technology and a MEng in composites engineering and I would say that both of them were not only more academically demanding but also require more common sense, problem solving and ability to work with complex equations, quickly and accurately. Medicine requires a vast amount of reading and research but is not taxing academically per say.
I agree that there are branches of mathematics which would make mere mortals heads collapse trying to understand.
I would suggest that Mathematics, Physics and Engineering are the most academically taxing degrees.
I would have to disagree with some of the other answers. People generally associate complex-sounding degrees, such as Medicine, Physics, and other science-based studies with hard work. But I'm am an English major: how would those B.S. degree holders feel about churning out monstrously long papers while keeping up with constant reading? An English degree requires not only that you hold knowledge in your brain, but that you have the creativity and natural ability to write. There is a massive workload involved with an English education.
