Hi y'all! I am currently going into my last semester of my BSN program and have started thinking about what my next steps should be. I have dreamed of being a CRNA since I was in high school and have done extensive research about it to make sure that it's what I would like to do. After my critical care clinical, I realized how much I really do love the ICU and would love to work there. I don't want to use ICU as a "stepping stone" to get into CRNA school because I know that it is something that I will really enjoy, however, I also want to use my time wisely while working in the hospital so when the time comes, I can apply to CRNA school. I have a 3.0 GPA and after I retake A&P, I will have a 3.2. Other than A&P, I have all B's in my other science courses. My question is, should I plan to retake my other science courses or should I take grad-level science courses? I really want to maximize my time and be sure that I can be as confident and prepared as possible for when the time comes to apply. I would assume that I would be working for about 3 years in the ICU before I apply to CRNA school so I have plenty of time to retake or take as many courses as I need to. Thank y'all so much! Also, any words of encouragement is greatly appreciated, I didn't do very well my freshman year and it is bringing my GPA down so I am worried that it will affect my chances of getting in anywhere. I will do whatever it takes!
