That information was a great help! If you don't mind sharing your essay just as a reference tool to see what the review committee was looking for. ?

[ARNPtoCRNA]

Hello Everyone,

I am calling myself ARNPtoCRNA here.

I am an acute care ARNP possibly applying for the September 2019 cohort or the January CRNA cohort program @ Keiser. In addition to having my MSN ACNP, I am also an experienced EMT-Paramedic. I work in a level 1 trauma center as an ICU nurse and work as a Neuro ARNP. I have 8 years ICU experience as an RN plus an additional 2 years ICU experience as an LPN (I was an exception to the rule, because of my EMT-Paramedic background).16 years as an EMT-Paramedic. In was an ICU charge nurse before NP school. Sigma Theta Tau Honor Society, Actually finishing my last 1 class for my BSN next month. I have a prior bachelor’s degree in computer science. Figured I would do the classes I needed to get my BSN since my origin bachelor’s degree is not in nursing. Also half way thru law school (JD) Juris Doctor. I won't practice law, but I wanted to have the preparation. My passion is being a healthcare clinician.

Taking my CCRN exam in 2 weeks. I have my BLS, ACLS and PALS .

My graduate GPA is 3.30Plus in both the MSN . My BSN GPA is 3.52. My non-nursing bachelor's GPA was horrible! I wasn’t applied when I was younger. I don’t know when I will finish submitting my application in the next 2-4 weeks don’t know if I will be called for an interview or even accepted. But I wish everyone luck on this wonderful opportunity. So, if I don’t get called by them to interview the journey to CRNA ends here. Keeping my fingers crossed. Good luck to all of you getting in! 

Oh also taking the required chemistry course and lab now , I finish it in August.That's why I was waiting to apply.
