   How do you feel about the various Dallas & Ft. Worth clinical sites in Texas? I've been considering them. What would be your top 3 picks?

3. Getting Into A CRNA Program as an alumni

   give em zzzs replied to Nursekase's topic in SRNA

   If you do well in the BSN program and are able to have their faculty write a letter of recommendation, I feel they would look favorably on that. As far as getting in just because of your alumni status, I doubt it. Consider this: If you are a mediocre...

4. How do you study in CRNA School?

   give em zzzs posted a topic in SRNA

   BSN material was not that difficult just time consuming (bc I worked full time and have kids). What study strategy works best for YOU in CRNA school? I like flash cards but do not see this as a viable option due to the time it would take to make the...

5. Preparing for School

   give em zzzs replied to ejnjj143's topic in SRNA

   ejnjj143- Be sure that you're taking college chem, not just a general or entry level chem that most BSN programs require. OChem (for where I went for my BSN) required CHM 111 & 112 as prereqs and they did not count CHM 101 & 102. Just double ...

6. New OLOL SRNA 2016!

   give em zzzs replied to DJ-SRNA's topic in SRNA

   Hey DJ-SRNA,, how's the OLOL program going? I'll be applying there in a few months (hope to start Jan. 2018) and was wondering how you (and other current students) like it. Will you be getting plenty of heart & head cases?

7. Anybody applying for OLOL Doctorate CRNA program for 2017?

   give em zzzs replied to ccuccrnap16's topic in SRNA

   Hey there. I'll be applying to OLOL soon and with any luck, I'll get accepted and start start January 2018. Are any of you alternates reapplying this year?

8. Becoming a competitive CRNA applicant

   give em zzzs replied to give em zzzs's topic in SRNA

   Thanks for the quick replies. I'll be getting to work on the shadowing right away. I might as well take extra classes until I get accepted. I'll start with redoing Chem II (since I had a C the first time I took it) and then maybe Bio Chem or the Stat...

9. Becoming a competitive CRNA applicant

   give em zzzs posted a topic in SRNA

   My initial timeline got adjusted but I'm excited to say that I have my BSN and am studying for the GRE. I will be applying to CRNA schools this (2017) year; the application deadlines vary. I'm looking for advice on beefing up my application to be as...

10. VCU without lots of Chemistry

    give em zzzs replied to give em zzzs's topic in SRNA

    I decided against NRSA 403 & am taking a chem course every semester until I apply. By the time that happens, I should have enough to make my application more attractive. Busy, busy but it will be worth it :) Thanks for all of your responses.

11. CRNA GPA Is this good enough?

    give em zzzs replied to bsngirl2015's topic in SRNA

    Continue to take Chemistry classes even after you graduate with your BSN. In the time that it takes you to gain enough ICU experience to become an attractive applicant, you can be taking one Chem course each semester & set yourself apart from oth...

12. What classes beef up my application the most?

    give em zzzs replied to UnfinishedSentenc's topic in SRNA

    From what I've been told & have read, sounds like you should take as many chemistry courses as possible. Seems like Organic Chem isn't a requirement for most schools but it's like having your CCRN- You better have it under your belt bc everybody ...

13. Timing a pregnancy just right

    give em zzzs posted a topic in SRNA

    I have a child who will be 2 in April. I want one more child. I plan on graduating with BSN May 2015. I would like to apply to CRNA schools following graduation. By that time, I will have approx 1.5 years ICU experience. I'll be applying to VCU &...

14. VCU without lots of Chemistry

    give em zzzs replied to give em zzzs's topic in SRNA

    Well, I'm in CHM 111 now, plan on taking 112 this summer. Plan: take a chem course each semester until I get in. Being realistic, I will be fortunate & overjoyed if I even get wait-listed. I have come to terms with the fact that I just won't have...

15. How did you afford CRNA school and do you have any advice for me?

    give em zzzs replied to Ultraposh's topic in SRNA

    My brother & his wife did the whole snow ball effect & paid off everything. They have 2 kids and he is the sole provider. They own 2 cars & a house. The only debt they have is their house. The kids have a college fund started & they p...
