2. The importance of BSN college for CRNA acceptance

   ufmatt replied to MJB's topic in CRNA

   possibly, but i would have to say that "dedication" to a particular school means little without excelling in the other areas of requirement. But between 2 applicants with identical credentials, one coming from that specific university, may and proba...

4. The importance of BSN college for CRNA acceptance

   ufmatt replied to MJB's topic in CRNA

   From my experiences, I seriously doubt that the nursing college itself will make the difference (given that candidates have the same scores and everything else). Overall, most staff members that I have spoke to say that it is not one specific thing,...

5. Goal statement

   ufmatt replied to jewelcutt's topic in CRNA

   Jenni, Keeping this simple---In response to your last sentence, I would have to point you to Sweetdreams' #1 of the list. I don't think you want to "seem above average" because that usually leads to BS'ing (I have seen this a few times, and after ju...

   oops, let's try this again... Frank, I knew 3 people that have gone or are going through the UAB program within the last 5 years and this is what is usually said... The program is a very good one considering that yes they have increased their incomin...

   ufmatt posted a topic in CRNA

   The moment we have all waited for (or are waiting for) finally came for me! I was accepted to Barry University's program for Jan. '04. What a tiresome process it has been applying, waiting, more waiting, interviewing, and yet even more waiting. I'...

10. Recommended courses while in BSN program?

    ufmatt replied to Fusternc's topic in CRNA

    nathan, keep organic in mind. You probably would want to wait until you finish the BSN first.

12. Motivators

    ufmatt replied to loisane's topic in CRNA

    Tired of cleaning up crap! I'm kidding of course. I must say the autonomy the can eventually be established as an anesthesia provider is one of the things to look forward to. And obviously, the excitement of having to think on your feet in some ver...

    Tenesma, If you had read my post, I said SOME programs. I know this because I have had several med student/resident/fellow roomates over the years. I have seen 2 programs in depth, and what my brother in law covered was moderately more in-depth. I...
