Congrats on your acceptance! :yeah: I've been researching schools and reading posts for a long time. I was hoping you would share your stats and any tips for getting into Cal State Fullerton next year. I have 5 years in a Level 1 Trauma/Surgical ICU and 3 years of CCU/CVICU/ Heart Recovery ICU. I just made a 90% on my CCRN and am now studying for my GRE. I've ordered transcripts, but I'm pretty sure my overall GPA is

Hi mammoth, Im just so interested at KPSAN im living here at Orange county, CA. And you told in here that its the quality not the quantity. Ill be taking my nclex-rn this 28th of the month. And I jut want to start right on where to get my experience in pursuance of becoming CRNA someday. I hope i can accumulate 15 post so I can reply to your message soon. If you don't mind me asking what hospital do you think i should apply. Im foreign RN , less than a year of hospital experience, im looking forward at UCLA new grad program and CHOC new grad program hoping they will still qualify me for new grad eventhough I graduated '06 in the philippines but I have not good experience and I wanted to start fresh in here. Where do you think I should start? Sorry to bother you thank you so much.

BTW, as what you said, iknow I have to have good ICU experience KPSAN said at least 1 year, but how many years did you have? I will take CCRN after having expereince and GRE once Im near to going to CRNA school, I will take pre requisites subjects on colleges around OC..You talked about community work, March of this year I came here in OC, I wanted to do volunteering at HCA but since I don't have my green card yet and SSn they said its better to wait for it. I really do love to volunteer been doing that in the philippines too. So i don't think I have a problem with that, I will work on it. With regards to awards and leadership, can you specify it more? Like awards at your job site?

Again thank you so much. I just want to start right. God bless

Hi,

What GPA's did those of you who were accepted have (science, nursing AA & BSN, and overall)? Do you think admissions/interviewers looked at what school you graduated from?

Thanks!
