re: army crna grad program
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.

It cannot be waived, however, they don't require you to have it done at application...it must be completed before school starts in June.

If time is of the essence, you might want to check out the Biochemistry class offered via distance education at the University of New England. I had planned on applying ot the army program as a direct accession candidate but had to change plans due to some medical issues with my pregnancy. Anyway, I just started the biochem class and it specifically focuses on human medical biochemistry. Also, the only prereq is a college level chem course and the course can be completed at your own pace. It is fully accredited and legitimate and I have even seen a few schools who specifically recommend this course as a prereq for their crna programs.

Can you post a link to that class. I'm interested in taking a biochem class online this summer before I go into emory's nursing program. All of the chemistry (Gen 1 and 2, Org 1) is fresh in my mind.

:yeahthat: I took the UNE Distance Biochemistry course also and would recommend it to anyone that needs the course. The instructor is very good about giving you feedback needed in a timely manner. http://faculty.une.edu/com/courses/bionut/distbio/distbiohome.html
Edited to say...just saw someone else had posted the link.
