  1. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    I feel a little defeated too. 😂 I have a 3.72 GPA (BSN), 3.23 (ADN), experience in STICU, MICU, CTICU, and CVICU. I volunteer, have my CCRN, CSC, CMC, TNCC, ACLS, and BLS. I've precepted in all my...
  2. So, I have been considering traveling for awhile now. I have been a nurse for about 4 years, and I have 2 years of MICU/STICU (float) experience, and a year (gonna be closer to 2) of CVICU experience....
  3. Travel Nursing Agencies & Background Checks (Frustrated)

    First off, good on you for getting your life together! For some of us, that didn't happen right away! Secondly, always be honest. I'm not sure what you have in your past, but as long as it's not...

    Not gonna lie, I'm pretty discouraged 😂 This school I felt really good

    Hey man! You feel comfortable sharing your stats? I'm genuinely curious, even though I know it's a holistic approach! Feel free to say no too, I totally
  6. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    Seems only one person in this forum has... Though I haven't even gotten an email about a virtual session. Seems kinda weird that nobody else has gotten an interview invite
  7. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    None of that negative talk! Gotta stay positive!
  8. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    If they are only taking "top of the top" right now, then only one person in this forum got a phone call... hardly think that's the case. 😂 I would say they probably have a lot of apps to go through...

    Congratulations man! Haven't heard anything yet myself, but fingers
  10. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    I don't mind. So, my BSN GPA was 3.72. My experience is 1.5 years MICU, 1.5 STICU (Concurrent), and 1.5 years CTICU (Current). I was wound care and code committee (MICU/STICU), Unit Based...
  11. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    I tried to keep it as short as possible, and I even had a bunch of my coworkers and CRNA's read it to make sure they didn't "lose interest" halfway through. ? That was my biggest concern with the...
  12. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    I think my personal statement ended up being 4 pages. I used transitions for each question and felt I was concise and
  13. I am curious where everyone took some graduate level courses at. I thought my science GPA would be higher, but Nursing CAS gave me a 2.67!! So, I feel I may benefit from a class or two. I feel...

    Nice! Did they ever discuss the application process, what the school seemed to key in on in terms of applicants, or how they are liking the
  15. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    Did you apply this year or did you get accepted last
  16. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    Well, good luck to everyone! It'll be a tough selection but everyone deserves to be there! I was reading last year and it seems interview calls came out around late
  17. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    Well, the deed is done! I applied and will now be dying until I hear back!
  18. I'm applying this year as well, feel free to DM me and I can give it a look. Otherwise, I suggest NursesTeachNurses. It's a website where current CRNA's, SRNA's, etc. will do transcript reviews,...
  19. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    As far as I've read back in previous years, I believe calls come out after the deadline, but before the second deadline. I could be wrong though, if anyone gets a call let us
  20. Which CRNA School to go?

    Totally kidding with you, I suppose that's not easily read over text.
  21. Which CRNA School to go?

    You got into 2 schools that you didn't even research and the rest of us are out here making a career of this... I'm both impressed, and mad.
  22. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    Yeah, so once you apply you can download the application once it is verified and see your GPA calculations. So, I applied earlier this year to a program and my sGPA was only taken from 3 classes and...
  23. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    I hope so too! Though, like I said my sGPA was pretty surprising when I entered it into Nursing CAS so, I am going to apply when I finish an undergraduate Chemistry class to boost it over 3.0. I have...
  24. Online Statistics

    Don't quote me, but I would check UNE (University of New England) Online. They have some science prerequisites I am taking to boost my sGPA and maybe they have a good statistics course you can
  25. University of Pittsburgh CRNA 2025 Start

    Thanks! I worked MICU/STICU (floated between the two) for 1 year and 3 months, got my CCRN & TNCC there. Then I went to CTICU and have been there for over a year. It'll be 2.5 years in CTICU if I...
