Thanks WTB, Looks interesting. I never would have guessed you could take a biochem course online. I also like the fact that it is medically focused thereby bypassing all the photosynthesis etc that has no bearing on human patient care.

Hello all, I graduate with my BSN in 4 months and I would like to attend USAGPAN after completing a couple years of SICU experience. I was wondering if some of you out there who are either attending or have graduated from the Army program would be able to answer a question for me. According to the AMEDD website an undergrad biochem or O-chem course is required. http://www.wbamc.amedd.army.mil/Departments/Education/GraduateProgramNursingAnesthesia/admissionrequirements.aspx Would this be satisfied by an intro to O-chem/biochem course? If not, do they mean a full year of O-chem or just O-chem I? The website is very vague on this point. Has anyone here been accepted with an introductory biochem course?

Yes there is a school that will accept you without it and it is also the top ranked nurse anesthesia program in the country. However you may not like this alternative. You will have to commission into the army (an active duty commitment) as a Nurse. Once your accepted to the Army Graduate Program in Anesthesia Nursing they will send you to a 3 month course to get you up to speed on the what you lack in CC experience. ....But it may just be easier to get an ICU job.:)
