Great site and appreciate any information. I have applied to a couple of CRNA schools but after reading some posts want to get a feel for my chances to get in or am I not being intelligent by applying with little ICU experience.
I was wondering if I applied to a program would they factor in that by the time I started I would have over a year experience in ICU. Love nursing as a second career and want to move up to the next level. Too chicken as a guy to go into nursing 20 years ago.
The disconnect with your wife must be at the interview because she has the credentials. That is the only way to explain it. I am sorry it is so frustrating but you have to believe it WILL happen. I have an interview with a school in January and I am prepping for the interview big time. Hang in there, she is going to get in.
Great advice from everyone. I will be starting my program in May. I do have alot of experience, Nursing grades 3.0-3.1 in both associates and BSN. My science grades are all A's. I cannot stress the importance of experience. I do have other credentials but nothing can beat experience. I really did not care for the theory portion of nursing school, hence the adequate nursing grades. You need to see 2-3 steps ahead to be a very good critical care nurse. Gut feeling does count sometimes. If a patient is crashing post-CABG, all of the reading and simulation will not help you to keep it together. I wish the best to you.
