Low GPA and CRNA school...

Nursing Students SRNA

Published

I'm looking for help and opinions on my situation. I would love to go to CRNA school but my BSN GPA is a 3.1(while in school, I had no plans on attending CRNA school). I've been an ICU nurse for 6 years.

I think to be considered I'm going to need a strong GRE score, and I'm looking for other avenues to improve my chances. What about taking a couple of Graduate classes? Looking for all and any advance.

Thanks in advace

This is a great thread!

I'm currently in the process of getting my applications together for school. Well actually, I have them all complete, I'm just nervous about sending them out. I graduated nursing school with a 3.25. I am currently taking Advanced Patho and Pharm and I have A's in both of them. I also have CCRN, TNCC, PALS, ASLS, and ACLS. I work in a meto Trauma 1 hospital too. I also got a 960 on GRE...anyway I'm just kind of nervous that this isn't going to be good enough, especially seeing everyone else's stats of 4.0 undergrad GPA and 1300 GRE scores :(..I guess I'm just kind of venting. Hopefully I'll get some courage and send out my application soon :-/

Hello,

I just graduated from a nursing school in the philippines and just arrived here in maryland, also I'm an american citizen. I'm currently applying for the MBON for my license and as of now its still on the process. I really want to be be a CRNA, and my problem is I have a low GPA, I have a bachelors in nursing. What are the steps that I could do to increase my GPA and improve my chances in being accepted in CRNA school. I already have A&P, Physics lab and lec, Chemistry In & organic. And if I need to take some classes to increase my GPA should I take them in the philippines or I could do it here?

Thank you very much in advance, I would really appreciate ur response Because I really dont know anyone here to ask as of now. :)
