Hello, I'm looking to get some opinions thrown at me regarding applying to CRNA programs considering my credentials. An idea about me: I am extremely motivated. I remember knowing since junior year of high school that I want to keep the idea of becoming a CRNA lingering in my head. As I finished my 4 year bachelors program in nursing, it became something I knew I was going to definitely pursue. Each and everyday it becomes more and more validated that I want to make this dream come true. My question is, what are the odds of me getting into a CRNA program with these credentials? 1 year Med-surg experience 1 year Step-down (mainly Cardiac Intermediate care unit)- trauma 2 hospital 1 year ICU experience- trauma 2 hospital- cardiac surg, neuro surg, trauma, medical patient population. Before applying, i plan on completing my GREs and getting my CCRN. I also have done a lot of extra curricular work within the hospital to make myself stand out on paper but also towards management to take me seriously when i present the opportunity of wanting to pursue CRNA school with just 3 years of nursing (only 1 of which being a year in the ICU). I know becoming a CRNA might be the hardest thing I ever do, but i am confident that I can make it with these credentials. I study almost 3-4hrs a day (approx. 2-3 days a week) on my days off regarding things i come across at the ICU/trying to better myself. In knowing that I am capable of accomplishing this, do you think programs will be just as confident in my abilities to complete a CRNA program with these (maybe minimal) credentials? Thanks in advanced!! Charlie RN ICU.
