  5. What's the lowest GPA you've heard of someone having been accepted into CRNA school?

    jessi78 replied to Scrubz's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think that a 3.0-3.3 might be acceptable as long as you had other things to boost up your resume. I think there is a bit of forgiveness on early grades when you were younger (in college)- especially...

    jessi78 replied to Alpha13's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    jessi78 replied to nurse_to_be's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    jessi78 replied to nurse_to_be's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    jessi78 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  15. Keep it to myself? / UMDNJ?

    jessi78 replied to lydiasmom's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    jessi78 replied to joenl's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    excellent recommendation letters help too. if you have a good repoir with one of your attendings or another CRNA, i'd speak with them about writing a letter on your behalf. A powerful statement of...

  17. Thoughts?

    jessi78 replied to Nurse956's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  21. Licensing Exam

    jessi78 posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    jessi78 replied to ellarose's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
