1. So what do you think? CRNA Admissionns

   gasmaster replied to holleritup's topic in SRNA

   Yes, I will be looking for a good sign-on bonus or loan payoff contract. Honestly it's not all about the money for me, but this is very important as I will be 46 when I graduate and I shudder at the thought of paying off my loans with my social secur...

   Time is ticking by fast. Just think folks....we are only 3 months away from starting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3. Advice Please ...

   gasmaster replied to Stina's topic in SRNA

   I agree with Ruby. You need to decide between the two programs. It would honestly be a waste of time & money to pursue the NP if you aren't going to use it. And the classes don't transfer to CRNA programs. Ok, for CRNA the GPA might be a bit ...

4. BSN needed for CRNA school?

   gasmaster replied to DJC85's topic in SRNA

   From what I've seen many schools accept a BS in a science field with a ADN or diploma RN. However, if you plan on getting the doctorate you must have a BSN.

5. So what do you think? CRNA Admissionns

   gasmaster replied to holleritup's topic in SRNA

   Keep in mind that if you over work yourself you may not have the same focus as you would have with a less demanding work schedule. The goal of the ICU pre-CRNA application is to learn as much as possible, to really dig in and get everything out of i...

6. TCU Fall '09

   gasmaster replied to gasmaster's topic in SRNA

   It was okay, lots of people there, but the recruiters were really wanting to talk to the folks going into clinicals & those graduating. I did learn that a lot of jobs will hire when you are still about a year from graduation so that they can loc...

8. TCU Fall '09

   gasmaster replied to gasmaster's topic in SRNA

   Ah, didn't get the career fair notice in the mail because they were sent to the new students accepted this year. Since I was not on that list, as the hold-over from last year, I didn't get it. I was getting paranoid! Ha! Anyway, so Carol gave me ...

9. Comprehensive degree, licensure, certification, test requirements for CRNA

   gasmaster replied to keithjones's topic in SRNA

   1) The CRNA pre-reqs are your BSN. 2) You need to get the actual requirements from the schools you will be applying to. They can tell you exactly what GPA, GRE score, etc that is required to apply. Also, some schools require that you be a CCRN (cer...

10. Which GPA is more heavily weighed in consideration for acceptance into a CRNA program

    gasmaster replied to EmpressT's topic in SRNA

    It's true that many schools will accept a BS in a related science filed with a ASN. It is not true that many will accept a BSBA. You will need to double check since your BS science based. Also, be aware that there will come the day when a DNP or D...

11. Less competative admissions

    gasmaster replied to TxNurseRN's topic in SRNA

    Remember that the overall picture is what really counts. You may be weak in one area, such as GPA, but your experience, certifications, references, GRE, interview, etc can make up for that if the rest really shines. Don't get discouraged at all. K...

13. CRNA Questions...

    gasmaster replied to GorillaRN's topic in SRNA

    Ok, first of all, you need to shadow an actual CRNA in the OR. What they do is totally different from the circulating or scrub nurses. I was just like you, trust me. It took me 17 years of ICU nursing before I did this because I too thought the OR...

15. TCU Fall '09

    gasmaster replied to gasmaster's topic in SRNA

    I think it's specific to certain buildings. It's just down the block from the anesthesia building. The area around TCU is very mixed. Some of the most expensive homes in FW are there, and then a few blocks from that are some of the worst neighborh...
