thank you for the advice everyone. i have edited the two sentences to: "during my clinical experience i excelled as a patient advocate, acquiring medical assistance for the less fortunate. furthermore, my externship reinforced my ability to prioritize care in fast-paced environments."

I am very confused how to construct this sentence. This is in my cover letter: "My clinical and externship experience has allowed me to excel as an advocator, enabling me to acquire medical assistance for those unfortunate, while also strengthening my ability to prioritize care in a fast-paced environment". Now that I have re-typed that I guess it does seem like a run-on. Does this sound better? "My clinical experience has allowed me to excel as an advocator, enabling me to acquire medical assistance for those unfortunate; while my externship has strengthened my ability to prioritize care in a fast-paced environment". After typing that, I also think that is grammatically incorrect. How about this sentence; "My clinical experience has allowed me to excel as an advocator, enabling me to acquire medical assistance for those unfortunate. As an extern, I have strengthened my ability to prioritize care in a fast-paced environment". Maybe I should add something to the second sentence of this last one? Lets try another one. "My clinical experience has allowed me to excel as an advocator, enabling me to acquire medical assistance for those unfortunate. Furthermore, my externship has strengthened my ability to prioritize care in a fast-paced environment". This last one sounds the best I think. Thank you for looking.

Thnx for the info guys, I guess I just needed that final clarification. I will plan to send my applications in anyway stating a BSN in progress on my app, knowing I will have a lesser chance at being admitted to the many competitive CRNA programs. Hopefully I will be accepted atleast on my second try when I have my BSN completed:).

Hi, I was wondering if most CRNA schools require the applicant to already have a BSN degree before actually sending in their application. I was hoping to obtain my RN to BSN degree within a year and a half while working, but due to most CRNA programs being so competitive applications are due almost a year before the actual start of the nurse anesthesia program. I would be currently enrolled in a RN to BSN program while attempting to send an application in asap, expecting to graduate a month or two before the start of the CRNA program. Can a BSN in progress be acceptable in an application? Guess I was really worried since reading admission requirements at Boston College: http://www.bc.edu/schools/son/programs/masters/programs/crna/faqs.html I am an experienced ICU RN with an associate's degree and will complete my BSN in December. Can I be considered for January admission? It is unlikely that you can be accepted as other applicants would have completed all requirements and met admission criteria ahead of you. Thanks!:wink2:
