  4. Ques. for those that applied to CRNA school with 1 yr RN experience

    My program has 1,600 applicants for 120 seats, of that only 40 graduate. Application to graduation ratio is 0.025 % success rate. [2 failures and you are out] Your situation is not unique. Nursing schools across the country have really been raising ...
