  1. GPA

    TPN1986 replied to Laurie MacEachern's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I will piggyback on Asherah's post, I had a very similar situation with my GPA when I was 18. Went to college for 1 year, my mother got cancer and I bombed out of college. Went back to college at 21...

  2. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to Asherah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Yeah I wish I had applied to Georgetowon like you, I applied to 9 programs this cycle and I completely forgot about them. If there is a next year I'd definitely want to apply to their

  3. Johns Hopkins DNP CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to Asherah's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm applying, and I think it's great JHU started a program in Baltimore as a Maryland resident. On these forums you will get a lot of skeptical people of 'new' programs that have not graduated their...

  4. University of Maryland CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    No, I was definitely just making an assumption because my application previously read committee review... And you know what happens when you assume things (make an *** of u n me =] ). Nobody knows...

  5. University of Maryland CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My science gpa definitely wasn’t low and i have over 40 hours of shadowing in the last month alone. I think whenever you have 450 people applying for 30 spots your inevitable going to have...

  6. University of Maryland CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Same, but I don't think their is anything to be ashamed of, obviously the competition was super high this

  7. University of Maryland CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So my application actually changed from committee review back to completed status today, and I no longer have a decision history tab. Not sure what that means

  8. Critical Care Float Pool Nurses and CRNA School

    TPN1986 replied to RNyoucute's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Alternatively you could take a full time staff position in an ICU and apply to any school you'd like. Not trying to assume your situation, but I think it would only make your life easier when applying...

  9. Experience

    TPN1986 replied to Jshep's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think you would be doing yourself a disservice and potentially wasting your money, some programs have 300 applicants applying for 30 spots, and almost 99% of them are currently working in some form...

  10. Experience

    TPN1986 replied to Jshep's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It will impact you negatively because most schools will not consider applicants that are not currently practicing in the

  11. Super common question: CV ICU vs Trauma ICU

    TPN1986 replied to CRNAhopeful123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    At my last interview they asked me what my experience with swanz catheters was. As it happens we do a fair bit on our ICU even though we are not CS ICU, so I was pretty knowledgeable. Generally...

  12. Super common question: CV ICU vs Trauma ICU

    TPN1986 replied to CRNAhopeful123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Did you do a shadow day at the trauma icu? The 'high acuity multi trauma' icu near me isnt so high acuity and mostly has chronic patients that stay on the unit due to the complexity of their...

  13. CRNA for the older RN

    TPN1986 replied to Richard Michael Brett's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If you’re seriously considering CRNA, you will need to move back into the ICU asap. To the poster above im not sure how much age is a factor. I have similar stats to what you’re stating and im...

  14. CRNA school with only an Associates Degree?

    TPN1986 replied to Nursevibes's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not familiar with Columbia's program. I can say from applying to a variety of other programs that CRNA school almost exclusively requires a BSN or higher degree in nursing in order to apply. I can...

  15. Has anyone gotten into school WITHOUT the GRE?

    TPN1986 replied to nitroaveragenurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks! was feeling very conflicted and definitely considering retaking the exam because a CRNA friend of mine advised against. The programs I'm applying that require gre scores have much lower stated...

  16. Has anyone gotten into school WITHOUT the GRE?

    TPN1986 replied to nitroaveragenurse's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Would you send score of 302 154v /148 q to schools that dont require it for high gpa? My gpa is 3.6 so a few schools waive their gre requirement for

  17. Rutgers CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Well all of mine are still listed as received but last I had spoken to them they couldnt find any of them. I'm going to call tomorrow again while at work and see if they've figured out where they went...

  18. Rutgers CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I called them today to check on an unrelated issue because I thought my application was complete and they told me they were missing one of my transcripts even though it was listed as received. I...

  19. Crna jobs

    TPN1986 replied to Rn0126's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not a CRNA but if you want a job similar to an intensivist then I think you want to pursue acute care nurse practitioner. On a side note one of the NP's in my ICU recently got certified in...

  20. UPenn CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to kaleks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Did you have to logon to the website or was it just an acceptance email? I haven't gotten anything yet, congrats to those

  21. UPenn CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to kaleks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm actually relieved to know when we will all be finding out. I'm taking two graduate courses this semester and it's been a bit distracting checking my phone every 15 minutes for emails! lol. I'm...

  22. UPenn CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to kaleks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It amazes me how they narrow down like 40+ qualified applicants to a final 28. I really hope everyone in this thread gets in, it seems like a very supportive program which to me is the most important...

  23. UPenn CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to kaleks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks, my cousin lives in King of prussia but my wife wants to stay a bit more on the southern side of the state but I definitely think I'm going to take a look at some homes their anyways and see if...

  24. UPenn CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to kaleks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Since we're all looking at philly schools anyone got any tips for areas to relocate to? Primarily I've looked at a few homes in claymont, DE and aston PA. I have a four year old daughter that I have...

  25. UPenn CRNA 2020

    TPN1986 replied to kaleks's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I heard about two weeks ago but I'm under the impression that since they're in the process of changing their admissions application that they're a bit behind with their interview
