I don't think you have any reason to wait and apply later. Your experience, certifications, and GPA all sound more than adequate to be a good candidate. I think you should definitely apply. In the end, even if you don't get in you have lost nothing, ...
Hey BrymanRN, Sorry to take so long to answer your question regarding who is in chage of class approval. I looked at my old emails and the person I emailed about this is Andrea. Her email address is [email protected] You should email her th...
I agree that your best option in this situation (and in any situation in my opinion) is complete and total honesty. Were I on the admissions committee I would consider such honesty and integrity a tremendous strength. When you consider the profession...
I think that depends on the programs you are applying to. I would ask or find out what they like to see in a competetive applicant. I interviewed at three programs and only one of them asked if I was going to get my CCRN. I responded that I might but...
Hi brymanRN, Congratulations on getting accepted! Oh, and congratulations on your soon to be addition to the family, exciting times for you and your family! To answer a few of your questions: Safe/family friendly areas in Philly: Roxborough/Manayunk...
My GPA cumulative was a 3.48 and my BSN GPA was a 4.0 At the time I was accepted I had 2 years of ICU experience in a non-specialized ICU where we took medical, surgical, trauma, and anything in-between. My certifications included BLS, ACLS, PALS, TN...
Hey rcon, Ofcourse I don't mind sharing...at the time I was notified that I was accepted I had 1 year of med/surg and 2 1/2 years of ICU nursing experience. I am not suggesting that this is the norm, every program is different. I just think it is imp...
Don't have an answer for you since my program starts in June as well (actually late May). But, I am taking a few non-anesthesia classes early and can share my thoughts on them...I am currently taking Applied Pharmacology and Research. I was nervous a...
I can understand your dilemma. I struggled with the same situation you are currently struggling with. I was accepted into a CRNA program that will begin this summer, but would require that I move my family and I across the country to attend. Because ...
I think it is best not to focus on the qualifications of others who gained acceptance. Instead, it would be more valuable for you to focus on what the schools you plan to apply to like to see in an applicant. The thread and website mentioned in previ...
I KNOW you don't have to work in a Level 1 Trauma Center to gain acceptance to CRNA school. I know this because I was accepted to multiple programs and the only hospital I worked at was a Level 3 that functioned as a Level 2. The hospital was not eve...
I don't think your age will be much of a factor at all. I think maturity level is more important than age, and the fact that you know what you want to do, and are willing to do what is required to accomplish it suggests maturity. As far as years of I...
bloomRN replied to sedation_season's topic in SRNA
The answer to this question depends upon the schools you will be applying to. I had one school that requested documentation of shadowing time. All the other schools simply asked if I had shadowed CRNAs and then asked how many hours of shadowing time ...
I don't know much about online Pharm or Patho courses...do you mean classes that would transfer for CRNA school, or are you re-taking under grad Pharm and Patho courses? If you want them to transfer for CRNA school make sure that they are approved fo...
