I'm trying to figure out what would give me the best chance of getting into a CRNA school. I've heard that an MSN is preferred but I can't find any information. Do they prefer a BSN or an MSN? Or does it not really matter? thanks!

Hi! I was wondering if you could tell me what stats you applied with becuase I'm interested in Mayo and want to know what stats would give me a good chance of getting accepted!

I'm hoping to get into the ICU right away but I'd need to make connections during my clinicals, because I don't think hiring new grads is common in that department. I don't have a specific school I want to go to yet, but I would like to get into a top school. Honestly, I messed around a bit in high school and graduated with a low GPA (3.1) so I went to (and am currently at) a community college, because that was the only thing my parents would help me pay for. Generally speaking, that doesn't seem so bad, but based on the high school I went to, going to a community college was kind of shameful because every year that school churns out a decent chunk of kids going to ivy leagues. So not only do I want to go to a top school for a great education, but I also want to get in to prove to myself that with hard work, I can get to Where I need to go. The problem is, i'd be attempting to apply with little experience and I know that isn't impressive to good schools. I'm trying to figure out what I can do to make my application more "attractive" for when I do start applying, which would hopefully be in two years. But I'm not really sure where to start...I'm also a bit worried that schools might be kind of skeptical about me because of the age I'd be applying at...I know that might not be much of a consideration, but I'm sure they do look at it becuase age does tend to have a correlation with maturity.

Sure! Are you planning on applying to any programs soon? And if so, which are you looking into?

Update: I can't PM anybody at the moment, so if you're interested you can just shoot me an email at [email protected]!

Hi! I was wondering if anybody would be interested in participating in a group or group chat for those of us who want to become CRNA's, and would like to have others to talk to, share information with, and help support one another! In my nursing class, I don't know of anybody who wants to go down this career path, and I find it difficult not having anybody to talk to about it. I figured if I was having this problem, others might be as well, so I would like to make a group! To give some general info on myself; I'm currently in my second semester of Nursing school (2 year program), so I'm about halfway done. After that, all I need is one more year to get my BSN, and I plan to hopefully work in the ICU during that year so I'll have experience by the time I graduate! If you're interested, add me as a friend and we can swap emails! :)
