Physics


I have begun the journey down the path toward CRNA school. I have reviewed many of the old threads but have not been able to find anything on physics. My undergraduate studies did not require any physics classes. I see many of the schools mention physics and I am not sure which physics class to take.

I wouldn't stress out over it. I just happened to have physics in my undergraduate but the physics that we were taught in my program was nothing that requires a physics background. It involved several gas laws and flow. Good luck!

Our school offers a class called "Physics for Life Sciences", which emphasizes life science applications. If you can find one similar, that would probably be a good bet, rather than classical physics. Of course, the BEST way to figure it out would be to call up programs you are interested in and just ask what they reccommend! Can't go wrong!

Good luck with things!

Thanks for the information. I will give the schools a call to see what recomendations they will make!

I recieved a reply back from cincinatti and they said I don't need to have it. So onward and upward.

Has anyone applied to Cincinnati or Akron that can give me a pointer or two?

when you say "nothing that requires a physics background," it's not difficult like regular college physics, right? because i failed physics miserably! but i am great in the biological sciences. thanks! and how about the math requirements for the crna program? is it past calculus?

No, I didn't find it difficult at all. Like I said, it involved the gas laws (Boyles, Charles, Henry's, etc.) And the math is the same as in undergrad nursing, calculating dosages, etc.
