Also, what exactly do you mean by "you get ur a** handed to you? :confused:

What I mean is that there is so much work in this program when you start full time, you will be busting your butt and have no time. A very hard program and I was told taking the headstart helps.

I have applied to Barry's CRNA program for Spring 2013! Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can make my application strong and standout! I work in the BICU currently and will have 1.5 yrs of experience!

Basic stuff. Good GRE, good experience, good grades, hone your interview skills. Get advanced chem under your belt, shadow several times. If you have time, some recommend getting graduate level courses and get good grades as that shows you can do harder classes, however you cannot transfer these grad courses. Barry's program is a science based program, not a nursing based program, so if you can work your way through organic I/II and biochem, you will have a better shot. Do better than a 1000 on your GRE. Get some good LORs, CRNA/MDA a must...etc.

You can prob look around more and find other suggestions, but those are some of the basics.

Hi. I have been accepted to Barry for Jan 2012 and will be in the Orlando group.

Sounds great! I know a couple of us so far. PM me. Are you in the headstart program? There are a couple of us in the headstart and just met some at the FANA mtg this weekend. Getting close to really getting started.

I can't PM yet. I am in the Head Start program, and glad to be taking these classes ahead of time. I was hoping to get some info. about the Orlando area. I am moving from Montana, and don't know much about Orlando. Is there a way I can email you?
