1. January 2012 Barry University CRNA program

   fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in SRNA

   Why provisional. If you don't need your CCRN, don't get it. You can read baby miller if you have nothing else to do, but most stuff will be taught. Other books may be too difficult until you actually learn the concepts behind them. Best you can do un...

2. Non Degree Seeking Graduate Student

   fyrace replied to Screen name's topic in SRNA

   You can find them online. I know the university of new england offers some, I think University of North Carolina offers some, but they are expensive. Have to google around to find, or research a bit more in this forum and I know people have posted th...

   Sounds great! I know a couple of us so far. PM me. Are you in the headstart program? There are a couple of us in the headstart and just met some at the FANA mtg this weekend. Getting close to really getting started.

   Basic stuff. Good GRE, good experience, good grades, hone your interview skills. Get advanced chem under your belt, shadow several times. If you have time, some recommend getting graduate level courses and get good grades as that shows you can do har...

7. CRNA APPS--UM/FIU/BARRY

   fyrace replied to Nishas22's topic in SRNA

   I'm in Barry with similar stats, less experience and no CCRN, however have other perks that helped. You should be fine at least for an interview.

8. online intro to organic and biological chemistry vs. classroom

   fyrace replied to 34nmotivated's topic in SRNA

   If you are just trying to refresh, then online may be okay, but organic and biochem is tough. Is it online where you have a teacher lecturing, or is it online where you read and figure it out yourself. I took organic I and II and biochem at a large u...

9. How do schools view/accept classes which are retaken?

   fyrace replied to Hartley's topic in SRNA

   I'm not so sure you should hold up applying to retake this class, especially at a community college level. If you were to retake them to show you are motivated, I would retake upper division or grad level. As well, one C- for an applicant with a dece...

10. Quickest Route Possible

    fyrace replied to Pitt2013's topic in SRNA

    I think the average nurse with one year experience won't get into school anyways, so it is essentially a moot point. Competition is fierce and you have to have something that stands out above the other hundreds of candidates. I did it, but I had extr...

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in SRNA

    What I mean is that there is so much work in this program when you start full time, you will be busting your butt and have no time. A very hard program and I was told taking the headstart helps.

12. What do schools really look at in applicants?

    fyrace replied to scott brown's topic in SRNA

    Retake your GRE. Some schools don't even touch you with less than 1000. Some weigh other factors besides GRE, but it still is a standard you must overcome.

13. Quickest Route Possible

    fyrace replied to Pitt2013's topic in SRNA

    You are looking at only the partial picture. I got in with one year ICU experience, but had Org I, II, Biochem, good GPA/GRE and 15 years as a medic. Its doable, but you have to have other supporting things to help. One program director said to get i...

    fyrace replied to mathaka's topic in SRNA

    I was told by the end of your first year you will be running your own room. Means you run the surgery, just as if you were employed, you are on the schedule, you get vacation...etc. You move fast and a buddy who is in his first year says you get your...

15. pre Reqs

    fyrace replied to JonB04's topic in SRNA

    I know one of the pre-reqs is the ability to take some self initiative and be able to use a search funtion.
