I just opend Baylors app packe and you won't belive...


So, I just re-visited Baylors app packet. its a nice folder somewhat like the one Duke's comes in. the picture on the front is in an OR. the table is ready but the little girl is sitting on the CRNA's lap. the CRNA is obiously comforting the girl and holding the mask close to her face to she could get some blow by "good stuff". behing the CRNA is what appears to be an Anesthesiologist and he is controlling the gas and his gold watch is very obvious in the picture. I am not sure exactly what is going on the picture but it did give me the hee bee gee beees. So I open the packet and start reading. it expains how it is medical shcool so on and so forth, medicine this and medicine that. "the nurse together with the Anesthesiologist and surgeon bla bla bla" Not that those things aren't true in real life but the packet is really drivin it home. suddenly I was caught up in a vision there I am in class with these medical residents. but the nurses are learnig how to tape the patient to the table and the residents are learning how to mix gas....
Has anyone been to Baylor, can anyone shed some light on this....

Bump that!! go somewhere you dont have to compete with the docs. I see you are from Utah I have a good friend of mine that just finished CRNA school here in Connecticut and he lives in Salt Lake. He interveiwed at Baylor and did not like the atmosphere, said something to the fact they had big egos and were not very friendly. He was accepted to 4 schools and had his pick at UNC, Barry, Baylor and not including the one in CT. trevor is now back in Salt Lake studying for his boards at this time. I say dont apply to just one school, try at least 5 and go to the interviews and see what they have to offer. Lee

Doug, he went to BPT. and graduated on May 02. the program is 24 mon. If you want to get in, better get those apps in right away. New class just started at BPT. and they will start looking at apps soon. Not quite sure about the other two except that BPT has the best clinicals because you get to do it all including regionals. Hope this helps.
BTW ==I am at BPT--- 10 months till graduation!!

Congratulations, G, that's great. 10 months will go by quickly, I'm sure.

I should be getting the application materials any day now; I'll apply this fall. I may have to wait a year, though I hope not. Am taking organic and physics in the fall, as well as GRE's.

Thanks for the info!

Doug, good idea to take some classes while waiting to get into school for this will show them that you are serious about becoming an CRNA.

I would also suggest picking up a basic anesthesia book( Stoleting) and do some informative reading to get an idea about the different aspects of the practice. I believe this will also help you in the future with interviews and might help with the shell shock once you get accepted and start some anesthesia classes. Nothing you do can totally prepare except the will and discipline to "keep on keep'in on" Gowkout

Duke is a new program, I don't think their first class has graduated yet.

Actually, I believe it's been around awhile--don't know how long, but the director of the UAB program graduated from there but don't know when...

They had a program there years ago, but it closed during the last round of closings...over 10 years ago I think. The new program was accredited in 2000 and I think the first class started in 2001.
