egul105 · Jul 21, 2005

hey guys, look theres a thread on this page that asks for srna's and crna's to post there schools, gpa's, gre scores, and other stuff so the "one day hopefuls" like me can see our chances of getting accepted...PLEASE KEEP POSTING!!!! ITS A GREAT IDEA AND I CHECK IT EVERYDAY SO POST!!!! :rotfl:

I have been a nurse for 14 years with about half of it as a flight nurse and the other half ICU, and Trauma ED. Undergrad GPA was about 3.76 and I had some graduate level courses with a combined GPA of 3.6. All the usual certs, including CCRN, CFRN, and NREMT-P. I've seen many people post that they got in with many less years experience, so I think much of it depends on your fit with the program you apply at.

Got in at mt marty, bridgeport connecticut, alternate at mayo and chose not to interview at youngstown ohio. Chose mt marty. Had a 3.98 for pre-nursing stuff, 4.0 in both ADN program and BSN. Worked in ICU for 3 years. GRE scores- verbal was 570, quantitative was 660 and a 4 in the analytical writing. Did not have CCRN but the usual PALs, and ACLS.

8 years experience as an RN. 1 in med/surg 7 in various ICU's. Spent 3 of those seven traveling, including the last 3 (a common question is does it matter if your most recent experience is traveling). Cumulative college and BSN GPA-- 3.32. GRE 720 quant and 530 verbal for total of 1250. Skipped the writing section because the school I was aiming for didn't require it.......luckily I got in on the first try. I say if you can get your foot in the door for an interview, it is ALL in your hands at that point. Your experience and stats get you the interview. My guess is, most everyone is on equal footing once you get to that point. Impress them , be humble,show them respect,and make them like you and your in. Look too cocky, nonchalant, miss easy questions, or just plain don't interview well and your out.
