need advice

I am a military wife and I am interested in pursuing a career in anesthesia nursing. I currently work in outpatient surgery. I have expressed this with my supervisor and he has agreed to help me transfer into the ICU to get that year of critical care experience. My concern is being a military wife I will have to relocate to my husbands new duty station and pray there is a school within the vicinity for me to attend. Am I setting myself up for disappointment being that I can only apply to one school? My next concern is my GRE. My GPA is awesome (3.9 and 4.0 in the sciences) but my GRE sucks! (900 and I even took it twice:o ) should I retake the gre again or is there a chance I can still get accepted? I know it depends on the school, but any feedback would be greatly appreciated....

Have you looked into the Military's CRNA program?

Yes, I am actually ex-military myself (army) and did briefly think about the program in san antonio, but I really have no desire to serve in the military again. I would prefer a civilian program.

You should consider taking the MAT instead of the GRE. Not an easier test, just different.

You have great Stats...don't let the GRE be the only reason you can't realize a dream of becoming a CRNA.The Army is a great option for you as well.Take a course to improve the score to at least 1000. There are a few programs at colleges to look at specific to GRE. I went to one at the local college for a few weeks. Your score though for some programs may be negotiable with such a high gpa. Look into programs that fit your preferences and speak directly with program directors for insight.I say go for it! These exams are just little barriers to make sure you can finish a progam as well as determine how bad you want it. An exam doesn't take into account your life and nursing experiences.Good Luck!
