  1. Boston College

    No, organic chemistry is not a prerequisite for BC. I am a SRNA at BC and all I had was Introduction to Medical Chemistry (3 lec hours and 1 lab hour course) it was sufficient. That was all that was required for my BSN. I did not have to take any mor...
  2. Boston College

    I sent my application in at the last minute as I had to sit the GRE, and then certify in PALS. I think they received my application a week or two before the deadline. If you broke 1000 on the GRE, have a good GPA, have 3 years of SICU, have a strong ...

  4. Where did you get your BSN?

    I obtained my BSN through California State University Dominguez Hills. It is an online RN to BSN program. It is accredited like any on-campus BSN CSU school. There was no problem with my applications into CRNA school and I am currently in a CRNA prog...
  5. Boston College

    Some are MSN with a concentration in nurse anesthesia or a MSNA or MNA. I do not know if there is a difference in the MSN and MNA/MSNA. I know some schools have a MS in Anesthesiology, MS in Biology, MS in Health Sciences etc... I am not sure what ...
  6. Need advice on which career path to take.

    The Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educational Programs requires a minimum of a year ICU experience. This is an accreditation standard. I do not know what programs are taking ER and PACU in lieu of this requirement. So even though you d...
  7. Ways to enhance my application into CRNA program

    Take your CCRN, ACLS (my school required PALS as well), have good relationships with coworkers, managers, and professors so that you can have solid references. Look at the requirement of each school you are interested in and make sure you have them. ...
  8. Boston College

    Yes I have my CCRN. I was working but I decided to stop shortly after I started. However that is just me there are at least 3 or 4 students who are still working. Good luck. Let me know how you get along.
  9. Boston College

    The Boston College interview process is really low key and not clinically focused at all. It is more a get to know you and very general questions. Just be yourself. I was nervous too. I can't speak too much about the NEU program as when I knew I wa...
  10. Does CRNA or Nurse Practitioner must have Bachelor's degree?

    You must have a minimum of a year of ICU experience. No ER required (nor is it accepted). This is an accreditation requirement of all programs. While you don't specifically need a BSN for all CRNA programs, you need at least a baccalaureate degree a...

    Okay let me update this information a bit. I am currently in the CRNA program at BC. Just like Northeastern it is a MSN program and so there are core MSN classes that are required. In total BC has 8 core MSN classes, 7 anesthesia didactic courses, 5...
  13. Boston College MSN/NP program question

    Hi, I am in the grad program at BC. A Grade Point Average of (GPA) of 3.0 is required. If the GPA falls below 3.0 the student will be on academic review. Students receiving an “F” in one course or two (2) courses of “C” also will be placed on aca...
  14. Clinical sites in CRNA school

    My school is less than 10 years old with only 16 students in the class and has all clinical sites (except 1, which is occasionally used and is 75 miles away) pretty much in the greater metropolitan area of the the major city it is located next too. T...
  15. Best online ADN to BSN program and other questions

    Try CSU Dominguez Hills for RN to BSN online as well. I am in a top ranked program and had more than one offer. What is important is that you go to a school that is either NLN or CCNE accredited. Brick and mortar or online does not matter so much.
