1. GPA's for CRNA school.

   malraymal replied to marvinskbaby1's topic in SRNA

   Um, don't think your gpa is low. I have heard of people actually getting in anesthesia school with as low as a 2.9. Like previously said, schools are looking for a well rounded nurse, which includes a lot more than gpa.

3. Waiting...now I know what it feels like!

   malraymal replied to ICUDOUCME?'s topic in SRNA

   Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere.

4. Waiting...now I know what it feels like!

   malraymal replied to ICUDOUCME?'s topic in SRNA

   I know what you mean, just try to keep yourself busy.

5. Grades

   malraymal replied to Dreamweaver2be's topic in SRNA

   From what I have heard, it's weird how CRNA schools pick their canidates. As long as you have over a 3.0 overall GPA and Science/Math, I think you will be alright. I know a few people who are in CRNA school with GPA's lower than 3.0, but accepted o...

   Thanks for all of the advice ladies and gentlemen, I think I will go ahead and go with it. I have been doing some thinking and feel more comfortable with the ideal than I did when I post this thread. Good luck to everyone, don't give up on nursing,...

7. Forced to be charge nurse. Help!

   malraymal posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hey everyone, really need your help on this one! Was asked by another nurse if I wanted to do charge sometime. Well I told that nurse that I was uncomfortable doing charge, not because of my skill level, but because of some discrimination issues on...

8. SRNA wife about to loose it......

   malraymal replied to Laughing Gas's topic in CRNA

   I agree with stevielynn, I would go for the loans in order to save my insanity and children. Worry about the future (paying back loans), but not so much that it drives you insane now. Life is short, live it while you can!!!!

9. School advice...

   malraymal replied to cutiejen2's topic in CRNA

   I would stick with the hospital that you are currently working at now as long as you get mech ventilation, hemodynamic monitoring, vasoactive titration, etc. because it was make your transition easier. Also you need recommendation to apply to CRNA s...

    malraymal replied to malraymal's topic in CRNA

    Thanks everyone, the resident is actually a senior resident, so I'll go for it.

11. References

    malraymal posted a topic in CRNA

    The school I want to attend ask for physician, nurse manager, and previous instructor references. Do any of you think it would be alright to ask a resident for a reference, because that is who I mostly work with being a night nurse in a trauma I teac...

    malraymal replied to SRNACHIC's topic in CRNA

    I graduated from ODU this past august (BSN) and the entire school of nursing is very dedicated to students (including graduate school). While you are in CRNA school, there will be others who will be having a tough time and pushing each other along wi...

13. failed nclex 5x

    malraymal replied to momx2's topic in NCLEX

    Don't focus on how many times you didn't pass the NCLEX, or that you just recently failed it. That's not your goal! Your goal is to pass and that is what you should focus on! Just like everyone else said, stay positive and try to take a Kaplan revie...

14. Competitive/Uncompetitive/Depends?

    malraymal replied to malraymal's topic in CRNA

    If you have been reading this forum for a while you would realize that in earlier threads people were stating that they got into CRNA school with low gpa's. I don't know exactly when the thread was posted, but I was just wondering about people gettin...

15. Competitive/Uncompetitive/Depends?
