hey Denver!! Now that you're done/almost done do you feel like it was worth it? I've been a CTICU nurse for 2 years and am getting my application ready for next fall, but the whole financial implications are really holding me back and making me nervous! I have 120k from undergrad because I messed around and didn't know I wanted to do nursing until it was late in the game! If I started CRNA next fall I'd be done by the age of 30, but I could have upwards of 300k of student debt! I don't think I could willingly borrrow that much and have to live paycheck to paycheck after 2-3 years of tough school! What are everyone else's thoughts ?? Thanks!

Hey Guys! Just curious, I am just getting my application for Fall 2019! I currently have been working in a Pediatric CTICU for the past 2 years, since before I was a licensed RN, by the time the program starts it will be 2.5 year as an RN and 3 years (6 months as an extern). I am currently scheduled to take my CCRN on Friday, and then start the GRE process, I have taken a few assessments that say I should score pretty high, so fingers crossed. My questions are when you were applying, this is open to anyone, did any of your applications require the use of NursingCAS? I have taken preceptor courses, done mission trips, am a chair member in the unit based council for magnet, among other things, and I am not sure where all this fits in on my NursingCAS application? Do these things go under experiences? Certifications? NursingCAS is all so difficult! Any other tips you guys have for a hopeful CRNA please share!!

Hey guys!! So excited for all of you starting this fall!! I am in the process of beginning my application for Samuel Merrits Fall 2019 cohort!! I was wondering if anyone could shine light onto the NursingCAS process for me! It seems rather complicated. SMs application isn't available yet, which I assume will show up closer to deadline, but what all did you all include on your application? I'm an avid preceptor, have taken courses for it (not necessarily certifications by any means), I'm chair of the professional governance, in charge of unit social event, etc etc.. I was wondering are these things you include in your NursingCAS, and if so where? I'm nervous I'm going to mess something on my app up, and my GPA isn't the best, mostly because I was young a messed around before nursing school, but I want everything else to be perfect and to show how much I want to get in! Any pointers help!!

Congrats to you too!!

The last past of my timeline, took my NCLEX Wednesday the 17th, and officially have my license the 19th!!! You guys got this!!! For me, I did an externship and now residency, which really helps the bad days not happen so much!!
