  1. CRNA School Advice and Info! Will I make it?

    I had an F from my undergrad nursing and I still got into CRNA school down the road. Experience goes a long way along with the GRE and then the interview.
  2. Difficulty of CRNA school

    In my program, one C puts you on probation for the rest of the program and 2 C's is an automatic dismissal along with one D or one F.

    Everyone's life is complicated, where are you looking to live? Are you moving from out of state?

    Anyone else, or just Vincent and myself?
  5. Standing Out with Competitive CRNA Application

    Find out the specifics that the schools require. The school I was accepted into heavily stressed the GRE, so I made sure I made the grade that I needed. The longer the ICU, or applicable, experience the better as well
  6. I took online chem through Oregon State University, but I found that the homework that we had was the best way to study for the exam. If I understood the homework, I understood the content on the final. We also had a practice exam which was very si...

  10. Honestly I would look at a different program. I attempted to gain entrance into a program like that and I think that system is flawed. Granted I did not get accepted, so I might be a bit bitter. However, I got into a different program (I am from S...

    Cool, looks like you've got it all figured out. Are you going to attempt to work during school?

    Well that's good news
  14. FGCU Starting January 2014

    We have found a place to live roughly 20 minutes south of the school in Naples. My in-laws live less than 5 minutes from where we will be. Basically in a few mile radius there will be: my in-laws, a good elementary school (my 5 year old starts kinder...
  15. Any applicants to Florida Gulf Coast University?

    I got mine as well. The subsequent information that I received didn't have anything detailing the deposit that Prof. Lansden mentioned, so that makes me wonder if I'm getting this additional information in the mail
