Help/Advice to get into CRNA school

[hojimma, BSN, MSN, RN, CRNA]

Hey guys. I am a new grad and am trying to get myself together to apply for CRNA school. I have been working in the CVICU at Emory Crawford Long hospital for the last year. I graduated Nursing school in December of '05 and I want to get into CRNA school as soon as 2008. I do need help, if you can offer any information that can help please don't hesitate. Here are my questions: 1) Any advice on which schools close to Georgia that I probably would want to apply to? 2) In writing a personal mission letter or "essay" or what ever each school calls it, Is there a good format to follow or if anyone can offer a sample essay that would be very awesome. 3) ANY OTHER INFORMATION YOU WANT TO GIVE IS GOOD, SO FIRE AWAY

This link below lists CRNA programs by state. I'd look at the ones in Georgia, Alabama, Tennesee, Florida, and the Carolinas if you want to stay near Georgia.
