Along those lines, are there things I should be doing during nursing school besides making great grades and spending time shadowing CRNA's in order to build a good application for CRNA school? It seems like everybody who applies to CRNA programs will have great GPA's and GRE scores and also will have spent time with practicing CRNA's. I am also wondering, like the last post, what you can do while working in ICU to make yourself a more competitive candidate.
