ICU experience

Hi everyone,

I am interested to get in to CRNA program. I have been RN for 10 years, most of orthopedic floor. I am planning to transfer to MCICU to get more experience. Do you think I have to apply for entrance 2015 or 2016? Another thing, for Rosalind Franklin school, do you able to work during 27 months of school? Thank you for your response.

    Depends on when you transfer and when the program starts in 2014. You need 1 year of ICU experience before the program starts. Don't rely on working during CRNA school.

    The other thing you need to look at is how old are your prerequisite courses. You may have to repeat some and that will take time as well. Good luck

    From what I have seen, most schools strongly discourage if not outright forbid working while in the program. Also, the 1 year ICU requirement is a bit trickier than it sounds. Some schools require 1 year before applying, others only before the actual program starts. Others even require 18-24 months. Keep in mind, while schools will often post minimal critical care experience required, it does not mean you will necessarily be a competitive applicant if that is all you have.

    I also recommend taking some graduate courses before trying to go back to NA school, if you haven't been in school for more than 4-5 years. Students that have been out of school for more 4-5 years statistically have more trouble when going back to grad school. It takes a few classes to get back into the swing of being a student again.
