Still working on my application. Hopefully will have everything in by August. I'm taking my GRE the end of July.

5 years RN

2.5 CVICU

CCRN

The usual (BSN, ACLS, PALS)

3.8 GPA for my BSN

General Chem A

will be shadowing a CRNA sometime soon and getting recommendation from them, supervisor, and possibly CV attending surgeon. (Just in case someone didn't send it in).

Hoping for high GRE scores, I know this is a competitive program. Haven't written my personal statement yet, don't really know what they're looking for. Hope to see you guys there!

They also wanted proof of active license status, I did a print screen of the Florida Board of Nursing with my active license status displayed. Is that what everyone else is sending in?

No I'm not in the program yet. I will be applying this year so that hopefully I can start next May. However, I've spoken to several students who started last year.

Yeah the "Transition to Nurse Anesthesiology" fulfills the science class requirement, not the science lab requirement so yeah you definitely need to take a chem class and the lab. I mentioned that class just because it'll look good on the resume if you've taken it. It's all online and it's a pretty easy class, but you will learn some things that will be helpful in the CRNA program.

I think you'll be fine though. But if you can squeeze it in to your schedule then you should take it. Are you going to take the chemistry class in the Fall?

Yes, I plan on taking Chem class and LAB in the fall.

Does anybody know anyone in Barry's current DNP cohort? Wondering what their experiences have been like thus far. I've only been in contact with students in their Master's program, but I want to get a feel for their new program post transition to DNP.

How did you get resistered for the intro to anesthesiology class? I have emailed the individual on the class webpage and the registrars office. Do you have to apply to Barry first to be able to register for the class?

No you don't have to apply to Barry. I I remember correctly, I just gave them a call and spoke to the anesthesia department and then they told me what I have to do.

I just sent my application online and documents required through email (including transcripts). Got a email back with "Thanks. Will add these to your file). So I assume I don't need to mail transcripts again. Now working on my essay and waiting for the letters of recommendation.

Stats:

Cumulative GPA: 4

Organic Chemistry with lab and Statistics: 4

GRE: V 147, Q 159

Certificates: BLS/SCLS/PALS/CCRN

ICU experience: 4 years in cardiac ICU

Good luck with our application!
