You're bound to get a few different responses to this question. My advice would be to talk to the program directors of the schools you are applying to. I had a lot of options to choose from as I also...

Fantastic idea! I would love something like this from my coworkers when I'm in school. Incredibly thoughtful!

Duly noted missnurse01! Let me rephrase then by saying you are an excellent example of someone who has pursed further science education on top of your undergraduate academic acheivements in order to...

Right now I am half way through my spring semester of two undergrad science courses (also to make up for science blemishes early on my transcript)… For me, as I am sure for many, cost is a huge...

The short answer is: both... BUT as I can say get high grades in your science classes. I know a lot of people (myself included) who have had to retake undergrad sciences or take grad level sciences...

Thank you to everyone here who responded. You all offered some great advice. I've reached out to programs and department heads who have been very helpful. I've been focusing on turning my weaknesses...

Furthermore: just be careful if you find this kind of setup. I've been cautioned by a CRNA about how sometimes these kinds of offers look good at first, but may require a tremendous amount of call...

I would suggest you look at the prerequisites for the program(s) you are interested in applying to in order to determine what they prefer in terms of ICU experience. I can say that majority of...

Thank you all for your commitment to our patients and their families through your excellence and passion!

5 years ago I was fortunate to transition from a nurse's aid in the ICU to a new graduate RN in the ICU environment. I had a very thorough 6 month orientation with excellent nurses in a small...

My friend is currently a SRNA at Kaiser. This year this program had the highest number of applicants they've ever had; it was an EXTREMELY competitive applicant pool. Congratulations on landing an...

I just spoke with Kaiser and they informed me that they had over 700 applicants this year.... All the emails were sent out today (yay or nay) and it may take a day or two for them all to "go...

Out of curiosity did you call Kaiser or CSUF?

There is no simple answer to this question I'm afraid. It depends on a lot of different things. If I were you I'd start by going to the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists website and...

Good luck everyone. We've all worked hard, and hopefully we will gain some insight about our applications, either way, soon!

Who would I call at Kaiser? It does make me concerned they are sending out emails when apparently my application hasn't even been opened....feel free to PM me if I should call someone else. I'm not...

That's odd... I just spoke to them and they said my application hasn't even been "processed" yet, but that the invites would be sent out within the next few weeks. Maybe they are trying to let me...

I have not received my self-addressed envelope yet either. Wow, thinking about calling is making my heart race... I don't know if I could do it! Best of luck to you brave ones who decide to call!

flyingfish2u: this is interesting to hear. What's your source on this? It seems weird that no one in this thread has heard anything yet. Either way, I wish you and everyone else luck. I've heard...

No envelope yet here! Multiple, daily trips to the mailbox are occurring at this house. You're in good company!

My husband and I were in school at the same time; me for my ADN-BSN and he for his degree. We also both worked part time and really didn't see each other a lot. What kept us sane was date nights....

Wtbcrna: I agree with you. My inner nerd is really looking forward to obtaining my doctorate for my own enjoyment and fulfillment, though I may not pursue it until well after CRNA school, depending...

I'm not an SRNA yet, but I would honestly to advise you to think first about your personal situation, experience, comfort level, and examine what you want out of your CRNA program to start this...

No word yet! It seems like the letters are usually sent out and received sometime around/after the second week of January. It is so hard to wait!

Hi all, how was the interview at Westminster? I've been considering applying but I still feel like I need to know a little more about the program. I spoke with one of the admission counselors a bit...
