The best advice we've ever heard (directly from a CRNA Program Faculty member no less!) is "Preparing for your interview should start while you're in the ICU, working on your application." 

To that we add-- If you plan to apply, you should plan to interview ?

Specializes in CVICU.

Hi everyone! my name is Lisa. I am a CVICU nurse (NeuroSurgical ICU for 1) for 1.5 years. I was also a critical care respiratory therapist for 24 years prior to nursing. I am starting the application process. I live in Palm Beach county and was soley looking to appy to Barry but am also applying to FIU. I know of the extensive commitment this program takes but I am not liking the over hour drive to class.

When I spoke to FIU, they stated they structure their class so we are only on campus two days a week, some online, and they accommodate students for clinicals in palm beach county. 

Does anyone know any information about this? 

I am studying for my CCRN and taking it in 6 weeks. I have been shadowing a CRNA and although I did take organic chemistry, its an old class but FIU doesnt have a timeline. I heard Barry is considering eliminating the GRE requirement. One of the reasons Barry was my first choice is they have a campus in Palm Beach Gardens and we live closeby. 

Any information would be great and good luck to everyone!

I'll be applying for this cycle.  Does anyone know if having been in the military carries any specific weight?  I saw there's a question on CAS about previous military experience.

Does anyone know how long it takes for our application to be verified on NursingCAS? I applied three days ago, but my application status is still "received". I also applied to another program on the same day, but it is "verified".
