Although this is a long way off, I'm planning to eventually go to CRNA school. Currently I'm in the process of applying to nursing school. I'm reading through posts several times a week (just so excited to get going in nursing school, and it's the bonus excitement about getting that first big step towards CRNA!) and seeing a lot of stuff about GPA's, even from first BS degrees (mine was 12 years ago). I'm working really hard to get good grades in the last few pre-reqs needed for nursing school, but afterwards I'm wondering what classes I can take in the graduate side to help prepare for CRNA school and boost GPA more (I'm sure it was a low 2-something when I graduated 12 years ago)? Other than advanced A&P, maybe advanced chemistry of some sort, what would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance! 0 Likes
futureSRNA1985 Apr 18, 2017 If you are going through an ADN program, make sure you get your BSN as soon as possible. Pertinent graduate courses include: A&P or Pathophysiology, Organic/Biochemistry, Physics (some programs actually have a physics pre-req), and some core MSN courses such as Research and Policy. Those are all good. Make sure you go straight into a good ICU. Orientation will not count towards your "experience" so just remember that too. 0 Likes
