Looking into taking Advanced Physiology (UCNAP 500) online through Middle Tennessee to boost my application for CRNA school. Has anyone taken this course?

Wondering the same! Did you end up taking it?
I took the course a couple months ago in fall 2021. It’s a great course! I highly recommend it. It’s challenging and time consuming, but you will do well if you put in the time and effort. It’s designed for nurses that are working full-time. Most importantly, I feel like it really helped boost my CRNA school applications. Multiple schools asked me questions about this specific course during my interviews.
Thank you for your response! I will take it this fall. Any study tips or recommendations for what to review before starting the course?
I wouldn’t worry about studying before the class starts. I don’t think it would be effective. Don’t bother getting the recommended textbooks for the class either. I never used them. The professor will post pre-recorded lectures that you can listen to over and over. He’ll also post PowerPoints to go along with the lectures. I listened to each lecture twice and took very detailed notes on every word the professor said. Focus on what the professor says in lectures. It’s quite time consuming and there is a lot to memorize. I spent 15-20 hours a week studying for the class. You might not need to study that much, but my time paid off as I did extremely well. Plus, I believe that’s time well spent because it’s all very applicable to CRNA school.
That’s great advice. I will register for it. Do you happen to still have your books? I can probably do without but I do like to turn pages and highlight. Tactile sensory recruitment helps me retain study material.
Nope, I rented them on Amazon. Best of luck!
