1. low undergrad gpa?

   clintcron replied to nursemastermike's topic in SRNA

   @wbtcrna Friends with a friend in the org. It's not very publicized at the moment, but the statistical data is out there. I have a friend that made a 1560 with a cum. 3.9, and failed out. It's about determination.

2. low undergrad gpa?

   clintcron replied to nursemastermike's topic in SRNA

   @sniffy, thank the good Lord that you didn't have to take the gre. It is without doubt the greatest scam ever, and it is by no means an accurate predictor one's intelligence. It is merely a formality. That's why the AANA is pushing strongly for schoo...

3. low undergrad gpa?

   clintcron replied to nursemastermike's topic in SRNA

   If it is any consolation, I know of a guy that is in with these stats: GPA-3.07, gre- 780, 2.5 yrs of icu, online BSN. The interview is the key. He is fortunate have gotten the interview; however, he rocked it out. His associates GPA was 2.45 and BSN...

4. Are there any average pre CRNA students?

   clintcron replied to vetkinv1's topic in SRNA

   I couldn't agree more with real nurse. Icu skills? Hmmmmm. When someone is crashing do you give fluids or hang a pressor because that is what you were taught, or have taken the time to learn why your doing what your doing. Anyone can memorize an algo...

5. Are there any average pre CRNA students?

   clintcron replied to vetkinv1's topic in SRNA

   I referee to this before. Try not to worry yourself with this. Unless your going to an enormous well-known school like case western, rush, excels, etc.... My friend has a cumulative GPA of 3.07, a 760 on the gre, and 2.5 yrs experience in icy. 1 yr i...

   New England offers biochem online. It's 2500 for the class, no prereqs. They give you an entire year to finish it. Self-paced learning that fulfills the req for just about every program.

   Cool. Just giving you something to consider. It may be a personality issue or something. Regardless, as long you stag motivated, you will get there. Any questions feel free to ask.

8. Still Safe?

   clintcron replied to FiremedicMike's topic in SRNA

   True, but they will fail you at least twice on the clinical eval. You should figure an additional 6000 for this. I know this for a fact. I'm just letting you know. Secondly, a close friend of mine had some issues with transfer credits to the school a...

9. Still Safe?

   clintcron replied to FiremedicMike's topic in SRNA

   For what its worth, I do not believe the market will be saturated. A lot of new grads yes, but the profession itself has a very nice shortage still yet. You also have to remember the competitiveness of the programs, and the relatively small class si...

10. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    clintcron replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in CRNA

    Let me set the record straight for you. Very few programs will allow an outside bachelors degree and those that do, generally require it in a science related field. I.e. chemistry, biology, physiology, etc... Also, to clarify my statement, I was impl...

11. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    clintcron replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in CRNA

    Here is my two cents that I added to their blog. I'm just a lowly nurse getting set for CRNA school, but hopefully someone will read it before deciding to just believe the idiot that owns the site. Let's begin by stating facts, shall we. While an M...

12. Good CRNA applicant?

    clintcron replied to statABG's topic in SRNA

    Could not agree more. As for the stats. Regardless of what anyone tells you, if you do nothing else, you will get many interviews. It is up to you to kill the interview. Good luck, and know that I was not directing this at you in particular. There ar...

13. Good CRNA applicant?

    clintcron replied to statABG's topic in SRNA

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but everyone is way too concerned with the prelims. Your stats are good enough to get you into an interview with 90% of the schools available with only a one year requirement. The real question that everyone shou...

    clintcron replied to josephj's topic in SRNA

    I, too, am gearing up for my interview there as well. Why did you choose Excels, and what are your stats?

15. Louisville, KY CRNA's?

    clintcron replied to clintcron's topic in SRNA

    I'm very close to being accepted. I'm pursuing Murray state, as I prefer rural areas to practice in. I have shadowed around 100 hours so far, and know without doubt this us for me. Anything in specific, that I may be able to answer, just ask.
