I have been a single mom since I was 19 years old. I was also an athlete during my first undergraduate which factors into why my GPAs were low in my two undergraduate degrees. I have tried to make up for it with my MSN and experiences. I currently work as both an NP and at bedside in float pool doing contracts. I have always wanted to be a CRNA, but I was previously been unable to move for school. My situation has now changed and I want to follow my dream.

Do I have a decent chance to get into CRNA school? 
Is there anything I should do to strengthen my application or should I not worry about it?

Thank you guys for any help!
