Good job everybody that has been accepted! I have been except too, and am actually wondering if there is anybody who has gotten an interview that has not been excepted?

My friend that was actually there with me at the July interview did NOT get accepted!

I was there at the July interview, but have yet to receive an email? Is anyone in the same boat?

shani1541 · Jul 13, 2013

Carter.... Maybe they have your wrong email... Call them!

How long until you heard from them after the interview??

1-2 weeks for a response by email. 3 weeks for the letter by mail.

For those of you that have been accepted, does it say on your "mybarry" student account online, "provisionally accepted"??

mybarry student account does say "provisionally accepted".. i need to send them proof of my FL license as soon as I receive it.. that process is taking a while

Hi everyone!

Congratulations to all of those accepted into Barry's CRNA program!

I am finishing my BSN this December and am set on becoming a CRNA in the future. I know I still have a while to go (need that ICU experience) but I am just curious as to what everyone's stats were? I want to make sure I can measure up before I apply. I might even take some more science classes while i'm working to boost my GPA and have a better understanding of chemistry/related sciences.

I thought about looking into this school. Does anyone have any other opinions on it?

I had a 3.5 cumulative GPA and took the transition to nurse anesthesia course online through Barry for my chemistry since you need to have taken chemistry within 5 years and I had it 8 years ago. I suggest taking it bc it's very similar to the chem class in the program. I had 3 years experience in med-surg where I was a charge nurse and preceptor. I have just about 2 years experience in ICU. I'm on 3 committees at work. I did fairly decent on GREs. I think a 550 on verbal and 530 on math. Nothing great. Pretty much the more you can put on your resume and application the better. Good luck RNKay!

Hi there,

I was wondering for those of you who took the head start program for Barry (in August), how many of you feel like you could have studied for the CCRN, worked 3 days a week, and still successfully completed the head start courses? Is that too much to do at once or totally do-able if you manage your time? Is first semester way too much if you don't do the head start classes? Greatly appreciate any recommendations and help on this. Thanks!!!

:brb:More than a year later... Thanks Jaforlini!

How are you liking Barry's program? How are you finding the classroom/clinical portions? Also, did anyone in your cohort/location apply before their full year of ICU experience that you know of?

I will be applying for the class starting in 2016. I will have just a year experience in a med/surg ICU by the time applications are due (and almost 2 years by the start of the program), graduated valedictorian with my BSN with a GPA 3.8 (and 3.3 cumulative GPA before that), on two committees at work but haven't taken the GRE yet and not eligible for the CCRN until February. Soo we'll see how it goes!
