Unless this will change for the incoming cohort (doubtful), you are required to be in person for NA1 Fall term, starting late August. I worked full time through Spring and Summer terms, taking a few weeks off to decompress in late Summer. I still w...

Current NA3 here, and wanted to say this is a great perspective to have and it will take you far when you are an SRNA in any program. I have to say, it's somewhat disheartening to see applicants express their disappointment here in some of the ways ...

Hey! I started my program with my MacBook and my iPad Pro, but honestly having a third large display is a lifesaver when it comes to writing papers and organizing all the content you'll be using along the way, especially since most of your textbook r...

Again, I know it's really tough to wait you guys but you need to trust that several of you here on this forum will get notifications for invites, historically that has always been the case. The application to any program is part of this entire proces...

Sadly, I don't have a lot of inside information regarding how many interviews are being offered, as the pool of applicants has increased quite a bit year over year. Just remember if you're waiting currently, you put your best foot forward and there'...

Hang in there guys! I know it's rough to wait, I'm a third year student and the Spring term just wrapped on Friday AND they're organizing the NA2 cadaveric regional anesthesia camp to start next week, so I'm sure preparations are keeping everyone bus...

It's insanely early to think about this, but here's a thread for anyone applying for the VCU DNAP cohort set to begin January 2021, the application window is open! Are you studying for your GRE yet? ?

Yep, NOVA-based NA2 here and I worked full time through July of first year and allowed myself to have a few weeks off to relax before Fall term started. This is very doable and the administration encourages it! It really does help develop time manag...

Hey all, current VCU NA2 here wanted to chime in and let you know that I know it’s so tough to play the waiting game. Additionally, we have our cadaveric regional anesthesia anatomy camp coming up this week starting on Sunday so several faculty memb...

Yeah, so I’m not going to rebut this statistic, it is very evident. But, I think it should never be a deterrent for someone to try to progress through this goal if they want it. Do I feel that older SRNAs are less able to handle the rigors of schoo...

Just anecdotally, last year we received our offers of admission to accept/decline via email on 6/3, which included a link to other items you may need to do to satisfy documentation for the graduate school (official transcripts, GRE scores etc.) Then...

Regarding your questions above about GPA, GRE and critical care setting, I recommend the following, and would do so for any CRNA program, actually. Your GPA is on the lower end of acceptable, but you can augment with a competitive GRE score (> 31...

Any updates guys!? Soon for you I hope? We're just wrapping up Spring term today and I'm thinking of you!

Since we interviewed during the first surge of COVID, our interview model and medium may be different than what they are offering to you all this year. What I can say is the same advice I offer to all CRNA applicants as they ready themselves for in...

Hey all, I'm a current first year etpDNAP student and am excited for all of you guys. I know that that the app process can be very stressful, but you've done your best and now it's time to relax a bit, try to distract yourselves and enjoy life while...

Here's a thread for anyone who may apply to be be selected to be in the first DNP cohort of the Nurse Anesthesiology program at Johns Hopkins to start May 2020, I hadn't seen one pop up yet. Per the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia Educat...

I feel like this person either: A) Stayed logged in at work and someone posted this ridiculous testimonial on their behalf on a legit account, or B) Resident trolling for reactions. Hard to tell ??

JHSON NA is featured in the current issue of the Maryland Nurse Journal (put out by the MNA), on page 12. Just posting for anyone who might be interested. https://www.nursingald.com/publications/2146

Good luck all, they are an excellent faculty!

I'm sure you'll have more candidates who will join you in applying and join your discussion for this years application cycle, VCU just had an odd application timeline that seems to be months apart from most schools. In terms of advice, simply: you n...

Yes, I was in the position and actually withdrew from a program in the middle of my first week after finding out I was accepted to my first choice program that was scheduled to start months later (was shocked, honestly.) It was hard to word, but I wa...

I feel like @loveanesthesia and @BigPappaCRNA should chime in here. I would say, absolutely not. Neither would matter to me. Those two categories don't guarantee that they produce a well-prepared CRNA.

Awesome, second time is the charm! You earned it!
