2. Some answers please, about CRNA school

   CaslaRN replied to 2bEuroRN85's topic in SRNA

7. Is this enough to get in???

   CaslaRN replied to lovegasRN's topic in SRNA

   I have to disagree with the above quote. You are applying for a CRNA program not an MD one. I think references from RNs/CRNAs way heavier than from an MD. However, in the end it really matters what the person writes about you. Get the person who know...

8. Advice for a prospective CRNA

   CaslaRN replied to bridgfor428's topic in SRNA

   I never lost my nursing skills by going to the OR. I do believe if you go straight out of school into the OR, it would be a disadvantage later on if you decide to go back to the bedside. In fact I was a better OR nurse because of my prior experience ...

    CaslaRN replied to yvonneren's topic in SRNA

    CaslaRN replied to srnabound3997's topic in SRNA

    Are you willing to move? If so apply to Barry as well. Mercer is hard to get into but worth a try. Also apply to MCG. The key is to have great LORs, GRE >1000 and be outstanding in the interview. Being black has nothing to do with it in my opinio...

    CaslaRN replied to longroadahead's topic in SRNA
