What do you mean last 60?

I would say "none" if you don't have at least a year of acute care experience, and some require two. ;) But seriously, the best way to answer your question is to go to the university website and look at the requirements. They will vary from school to school. Best of luck!

I believe what she meant by last 60 were the credits for BSN. I believe all the credits would count but most importantly your science and nursing credits would take precedence (from what i have heard from asking the schools)

The last 6o credits she meant was the credits required to get her BSN.

OP i believe your overall GPA would be looked at and then your science and nursing GPA would also be calculated (this is what i get from asking admission at some schools)

It depends on the school. Where I'm from we have only one school offering a CRNA program in the state. Out of hundreds of applicants they take only 16. A nurse that I work with graduated with her BSN last year with a 3.89 and is number 3 on the wait list.

However, this might be this schools competitiveness.

Remember that most CRNA schools ask for AT LEAST 1 year of ICU experience, more is favorable. Also, you can sell yourself on the interview. I think your GPA would be enough to get you an interview, you would just have to sell them on your commitment and drive.

It depends on the school. They are all a little different as to what they require.

Some schools only count the last 60 hours of course work towards your bachelors.

I don't know what your chances are in your area. In my area it would be really close because there is only one program in my state.

I believe they mean last 60 hours. It would be cumulative. The only thing I have heard people say that they separate is the science from nursing. You may want to retake some courses to be more competitive.
