Foreign educated nurses getting accepted into a CRNA school.

I'm a Nigerian trained nurse, graduated 2017 with a Bachelor's of Nursing science and now practicing in America. Aside getting ICU experience, what other practical steps can someone like me take? Are there other courses I need to do in addition to my degree, what leadership role can I take up, what other preparation do I need to start making in order to get me prepared to start applying for schools ?

    Many programs require either general chemistry or some organic chemistry. If that wasn't in your BSN curriculum then I would take those courses. You also want your CCRN, involvement in your unit, charge and preceptor experience is also good. Make sure you're in a moderate to high acuity ICU with lots of vents and pressors as well. Additionally, some schools also require the GRE. When in doubt, just check the admission requirements for the specific programs you want to apply to. Good luck!
