   The pre-req sciences I took included Chemistry, A&P 1 & 2, Microbiology, and organic Chemistry. Graduate pathophys is one of the first classes you will be taking starting in most programs.

   3.6-3.7 GPA's depending on how you calculate it. 3 years ICU, 5+ years ER experience. Multiple certifications. Heavy involvement in my ICU including teaching CRRT and balloon pump classes. GRE score 306 4.5 in writing. I think the most important aspe...

   This is incorrect. I'm not local at all and I was offered an interview, I applied before being accepted to another program and will be declining my interview. Good luck to all applicants.

4. Help!! CRNA Program admission

   TPN1986 replied to NurseL20's topic in SRNA

   I was accepted to a program in state but I ended up going out of state anyways. The program closest to home while would have been the most convenient wouldn't have been a good fit for me and ultimately I'm very happy with my selection.

5. Help!! CRNA Program admission

   TPN1986 replied to NurseL20's topic in SRNA

   Yes. Everything you're describing had happened to me. I got straight A's in my ADN, 3.7 in my BSN, did CCRN-CMC CEN and got accepted on my 2nd year applying with two years ICU experience to multiple programs. Just keep your grades high. Challenge you...

6. Waiving ICU requirement

   TPN1986 replied to lellomere's topic in SRNA

   The irony of your post is that it's not the school's requirement that you have ICU experience. It's the COA, the accrediting body that requires schools to accept applicants from a critical care/ICU background. Granted there are a few schools that acc...

7. Preparing for interviews

   TPN1986 replied to asd asd's topic in SRNA

   This is the most important interview of your career. Wear a suit.

8. CRNA School Dismissal for B-

   TPN1986 replied to CriticalRN's topic in SRNA

   I'm assuming you reached out to the program directors already and discussed remediation?

9. Becoming a SRNA with a DUI

   TPN1986 replied to CVRU Nurse's topic in SRNA

   I've definitely seen people on here post and comment that they've had a DUI in regards to applying to CRNA school. I wouldnt let a DUI stop you from applying if you think you've got a good enough application.

    You will be making a massive mistake if you do not wear a suit.

12. Union University CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to CowboyMedic's topic in SRNA

    I withdrew my acceptance because I was accepted elsewhere. The school is going to refund my deposit.

13. Union University CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to CowboyMedic's topic in SRNA

    Ditto, I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I'd really like to see the current faculty stay. Obviously I'm completely clueless about the circumstances. Perhaps the faculty has even already made their contingency plans as I'm sure many of us are doing no...

    It's really heartbreaking, I wish their was some way the relationship between the faculty and the school could be repaired.

    Of course, this entire situation is extremely disheartening. I'm looking forward to the day when this is just a footnote in my path to becoming a successful CRNA.
