CRNA school, Fall 2018

Published

Anyone applying for CRNA school admission for Fall 2018 in North Carolina? I am applying soon for Raleigh, Duke, Charlotte, ECU, possibly Wake Forest. Looking for current or prospective students (or recently accepted) about the application/interview process. Here is what I am applying with:

1 year and a couple months of cardiac ICU experience at a large hospital, CCRN, ACLS/PALS, GPA 3.50, GRE 300 (writing not graded yet), BSN GPA 3.68.

Thoughts? (honesty appreciated, I want to be as competitive as possible)

I'm also applying to ECU and western for January and then the others for fall if I don't get in to either of the two. ECU is my top choice for many many reasons! I'm applying with 11/2 years of PICU expoierence at a level one hospital and a year and counting in CVRU at the same hospital!! My GPA-3.55, science 3.55, BSN-3.96, CCRN, GRE-307. I'm also chair of UBC and I precept and take on charge role! I'm also on other committees as well! I'm hoping for positive outcomes! Also- I took my GRE initially and got a 299 and retook it to be more competitive!!!

Anyone concerned about starting for CRNA in 2018 and having DNP become a requirement by 2025? My understanding is the MOST places would follow the grandfathered in policy. However, it still worries me.

What about it worries you? If you have a master's in anesthesia of course you'll be able to continue to practice. Me personally, I'm going to try to get into an MSN program before the DNAP dominates most/all schools.

My concern is that in 2025 they will start to require DNP, just as most hospitals now prefer RN's to have a BSN.

It takes about 4 yrs to complete BSN-MSN. Then to go from MSN- DNP it is another 4 yrs. Oddly enough, and I could be wrong here, but I've looked into this option as well, it also takes about 4 yrs to complete BSN-DNP.

It's usually a year and a half post masterS to get your DNP and if you're that concerned apply to programs that are already DNP?

Have you already submitted you applications? Have you heard anything about an interview yet??

I live in North Carolina. Applying to Wake Forest and Charlotte in the NC area and a few others outside of North Carolina. How is the application process coming along for everyone?

I have heard from RSNA about an interview. Wake Forest and Charlotte said interview notifications will be sent out in October. Still waiting on Duke.
