  1. CRNA

    Apex is 100% online. It will prepare you for boards. They do not offer lecture style learning. Read the reviews. It is worth it.
  2. Public CRNA schools?

    CRNA Schools… Where Will You Apply? - All CRNA Schools
  3. Did you disclose your Plans for CRNA school

    Don't tell anyone until you are accepted. Even then, don't tell anyone until you have to give notice. You will be treated differently and get poor assignments. It's just not worth it. Even your "friends" will chew you up if they find out you want...
  4. Is it possible to get into CRNA with only 1 year of ICU experience?

    Get your 1 year and apply. The worst that can happen is they say no.
  5. University of Arizona Doctor of Nurse Anesthesia Program

    My info is outdated (3 years ago). The program is new. They don't have great clinical sites (they encourage you to find people who will precept you). It is at a top medical university and I am confident that the program will turn out to be great, ...
  6. Should I bother applying to CRNA school?

    You should have no problem getting in. You will most likely get asked why, which is good. You get to explain what happened, that you lost your focus, and then recovered brilliantly. I had similar difficulties when I first began college. I took so...
  7. PACU EXPERIENCE

    Stay in ICU. There is no need for you to get PACU experience at this time. ICU experience is what they are looking for.
  8. USC(south carolina) CRNA 2019 cohort

    The Columbia and Greenville groups attend all the same classes and are conferenced together with cameras. You can hear and see each other. Sometimes the teacher is in Greenville, and sometimes they are in Columbia. It works well. The Greenville c...
  9. USC(south carolina) CRNA 2019 cohort

    The interviews are all about personality. They will ask you tough questions that will be above your knowledge level. Don't EVER BS an answer... they will know. I think I answered "I don't know" at least 15 times to questions they asked. I answere...
  10. Question about letter of recommendation for CRNA program

    Go with the resident. It will reflect the confidence that they have in your abilities as a nurse and your ability to work together as a team, each playing a vital part in the care of your patients.
  11. How old is too old?

    Are you dead? Then no! You are not too old. I graduated at 45. If anything it helps in clinical because people assume you have been doing this a while and are put at ease quickly.
  12. NCE Exam Prep

    I wouldn't worry about it so much. Get through the didactic and then focus on clinical. Once you are there, sign up for Apex, Valley, or Prodigy. I am personally using Apex. Passing your classes gives you the right to take the NCE, one of these c...
  13. Becoming a CRNA

    No one is throwing money at you. I graduate in May and will have 200K in debt when all is said and done. Nurse anesthesia is one profession where you can realistically pay off the debt within 5 years (with proper budgeting). Don't let the debt sto...
  14. When to take the prereqs?

    I never took physics or organic chemistry. It wasn't required by my program. Only about 1/2 of the programs out there require these courses so I would look at where you want to apply and see if you need to take them.
  15. Cost Of School

    I graduate soon and in my class of 30, only one of us had a deal with a hospital to work for them in exchange for a stipend while in school. It is not very common. Your best bet is to join the military. They will cover tuition and give you a stipe...
