Just curious about how selection boards for CRNA schools make their decisions on how people get into programs...
I am an RN who works ER/ICU/CVICU and have about 5 years of experience. I tend to be a strong nurse, and I think I can handle CRNA school. I am finishing up my bachelors now and will apply to a couple of programs. My ADN GPA was 3.23, but since I have returned to school it has been 4.0 for the last 30 credits. I think that I can handle it academicly, because I am a sponge and I suck up logical information.
I am curious if there is anyone out there that has recently been through a selection board for CRNA school, that could point out a couple of tid-bits that might help me out with the selection process.
I would like to start next year, and want to be fully prepared to be a schools best canidate....
Thanks,
Diprivanrn

Re: CRNA School Selection
Mine was unremarkable both places; one turned me down, one said yes. I guess my essay was strong. . . it was honest, if nothing else. Had a decent GRE (1200), nursing experience at time of interview about 18months in a medical ICU, and a previous BS degree. I guess the interview is so important because they want to know if you will "fit" with their program. And just because you many not "fit" with a particulare program doesn't mean you aren't qualified, maybe just haven't found the right school for you. I actually got into the school that I thought I wouldn't have a snow ball's chance in (because it was the "more well known" of the two). . . I guess my 'glutton for punishment' side shown through in all it's glory. Nice.
