1. UT at Memphis

   utmemsrna replied to marvinskbaby1's topic in SRNA

   The program isn't self taught, and I can think of nothing negative to say about it. They are very professional, and I am completely satifisfied.

2. Did anyone here get accepted after graduating from a "non traditional" school?

   utmemsrna replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in SRNA

   I got my ADN and BSN through Excelsior and got in at the only school I applied on the first try.

3. Having school paid for

   utmemsrna replied to krzysiu's topic in SRNA

   The hsopital I work at will provide a stipend while you go to school if you agree to work for a certain amount of time. It is about 1000 -1100 dollars a month and is taxed. I am not sure it is worth it in the long run, because it removes control from...

4. Hello CRNA's

   utmemsrna replied to Triniboy636's topic in SRNA

   I think it is great that you are so enthusiastic about the CRNA profession. While it is true that money shouldn't be your main focus, anyone who says it isn't a factor isn't being completely honest. Research the profession as much as you can and put ...

5. BSN nurse

   utmemsrna replied to maria s's topic in SRNA

   Not much to tell, paramedic for 10 years, went back to school for RN, icu nurse for five years, then back for bsn. When I applied, I was not very optimistic considering my overall gpa, but I believe most programs take a person's entire situation into...

6. BSN nurse

   utmemsrna replied to maria s's topic in SRNA

   Most schools look at the candidate as a whole, not just a bunch of numbers. For example, I only had a 3.0, but had a lot of experience, and all of my recent course work had been very good. Also, if you get an interview, it will then mostly come down ...

7. Need information about ASU/Arkansas & UTMEM CRNA Program

   utmemsrna replied to kwalrn's topic in SRNA

   Congratulations, and I look forward to meeting you in July. My last e-mail from UT said they were going to send out a list of new CRNA students soon, but I haven't received it yet. I can't tell you how excited I am about UT. I agree with everything y...

8. Applying while working on BSN?

   utmemsrna replied to JustinTJ's topic in SRNA

   Most schools require you to be through with your BSN coursework prior to the application deadline, being as how the programs are so competetive.

9. How long from application-start date?

   utmemsrna replied to Vanillanut's topic in SRNA

   Just for one example, UT Memphis' application deadline is September 1, interviews are the same month, with decisions by the end of September. The classes themselves do not start until July of the next year. It is best to apply when you first become e...

10. Getting instructor references from online BSN programs?

    utmemsrna replied to eclecticjzw's topic in SRNA

    Another thing to remember, since I am not familiar with Chamberlain, make sure they are NLNAC approved. Most colleges require this for entrance into their masters programs.

11. Getting instructor references from online BSN programs?

    utmemsrna replied to eclecticjzw's topic in SRNA

    I did amy adn and bsn at Excelsior college and they don't give references. I just explained that when I sent in my application, and it wasn't a problem. Also, the classes you failed will probably always be on your transcript, when UT Memphis tallies ...

12. Need information about ASU/Arkansas & UTMEM CRNA Program

    utmemsrna replied to kwalrn's topic in SRNA

    UT Memphis has already selected for the 2008 class, and the deadline for application for the 2009 class is september 1, 2008. I don't know why they choose so early. The important thing to know about UT Mem is that the 2008 class will be the last MSN ...

13. Any info on UT Chattanooga?

    utmemsrna replied to SuperSleeper's topic in SRNA

    I don't start at UT until July, but I can't wait. The person I mentioned just got back from her UT Chat-Tupelo interview an said they asked the usual personal questions as well as some clinical questions. When I interviewed at UT Memphis, everyone wa...

14. Any info on UT Chattanooga?

    utmemsrna replied to SuperSleeper's topic in SRNA

    While interviewing for UT Memphis, I met a first year who used to work at NMMC, he spoke pretty badly about the program, saying they used students for scut work. Even though he worked there, he didn't even apply. I also heard the same thing from anot...
