a little more infoormation on my situation and thinking. i am prior service( active army 6yrs.), 32y/o with 1.5yrs. experience in a level i trauma center icu(charge rn for the unit for last 6mos), ccrn exam in august2006, and completion of bsn in 05/07, gpa 3.4, acls, bls, and soon to be acls instructor. my goals are to take a direct commission into the reserves 06/06 through the strap program and start my process to become active in 01/07( hopefully fullfilling that goal by 06/07). i would like to get into the amedd graduate program for crna, but even after obtaining 500/500/3.5 on future gre score(ever optimistic), i will still be w/o organic chem/biochem. i could eventually get coorifice, but timeline would alter significantly. family and finances play a major role in this decision making, but i know my future is with the anc. thanks in advance for any advice and i look forward to the future.

I would contact the University of Texas at Houston and ask to speak to Dr. Lester. He would be able to answer this question for you as he is the program director for the CRNA program at UT Houston and they do the screening process for the Army. PM me for any questions. I start school this June

I think the Army and Navy have the best programs in the country. However, don't limit yourself. Have you considered the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences? They have a CRNA program. Also, you can attend my program with very little out of pocket (Bridgeport Hospital, bhnap.org).

Good luck troop and drive on!

PS I would be happy to help in any way.
