  1. Budgets, Loans, Scholarships - Oh my.

    brookalyn posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello all!!! I have a few questions to those who are willing to break it down for me... Answering any of them would be helpful ? 1) What was your budget like in anesthesia school? What did you make...

    brookalyn replied to heythatsmybike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  7. Keep getting rejected

    brookalyn replied to S3682's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I definitely think you’re on the right track! Your stats to me show that you are capable of putting in the work. If you get another year in the ICU and get that > 300 GRE, I think that will help...

  8. Keep getting rejected

    brookalyn replied to S3682's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Have you asked for specific feedback from the programs you have applied to? It may be that you only have one year of experience. Is your BSN GPA low? If your science or nursing GPAs weren't good, that...
