Hi Everybody. I'm applying to CRNA school next year and I was wondering if you all think I will have enough of the necessary experience/good enough stats....just like about half of the other posts . Anyway, I would definitely appreciate your input!

-I have worked in a CCU and I would say about 75% of the patients I have come with vents, swans, vasoactive drips (so I will have worked about 1.5 years when I apply)...I'm still not 100% knowledgeable about them but I think I will be

-3.6 gpa in nursing and 3.8 pre-nursing...math/science gpa is 3.7

-1180 (700 quantitative and 480 verbal) on gre...will probably retake to get verbal over 500

-also plan on taking organic next semester and hopefully get ccrn after enough hours to qualify

-have shadowed CRNA=loved it!!!!!

thanks in advance for all of your input!!!

I don't know how to type the accent, but I hope you get the feel. Excellent plan/stats in my opinion, very competitive.

That looks real good. get a reference or two from a CRNA when applying. Try to get some certs/instructor certs in ACLS, PALS, NRP etc. Usually very easy to obtain and usually free at most facilities. Start saving money now/paying off bills. I would also recommend applying to more than one school pick out 4-5 that work for you and apply. Again, this is my personal advice.
