  1. Is it TOO late?

    NMB IVP replied to san073's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Set little goals, but keep the big goal in mind. Start out by just getting through nursing school. That's an accomplishment in itself. Then, take whatever additional classes, tests, etc. you have to...

  2. I started nursing school to be a CRNA

    NMB IVP replied to JPHILL9507's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Take the CCRN examination. Depending on the school that you apply to, it may not help you, but it certainly won't hurt you. Check out the curricula of the schools that you are going to apply to. Look...

  3. How competitive is a 3.5 Nursing GPA?

    NMB IVP replied to rhp123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    In response to your initial question, I would say that a 3.5 GPA is fine, but that is just one thing that schools look at. You can have a 3.5 GPA and be among the top applicants. You can also have a...

    NMB IVP replied to CruzanNurseRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  5. Samford University Anyone?

    NMB IVP replied to NMB IVP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Right now just wait and see if you get an interview. At most schools, it's not hard to get an interview. At Samford, I don't think they interview as many as other schools. If you get an interview,...

  8. front loaded didactic vs mixed

    NMB IVP replied to lovegasRN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Unless you are just someone that CRNA schools can't turn down, take the first opportunity you get. Front Loaded programs have their pros and cons in comparison to integrated programs. I know several...

  9. Any CRNA graduate/students out there

    NMB IVP replied to sstars's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am 23 years old. I just started CRNA school at Samford University. There is a ton of advice that I could give you, but there is not enough time or space. As a new RN, you need to be focused on doing...

  12. Another GPA question!

    NMB IVP replied to Annieee's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    To answer your question. Yes, CRNA programs do look at your overall GPA as well as your the GPA of your last 60 hours. Some students kill their GPA during their party years and are unable to raise it...

  13. CRNA Programs without Physics/Organic Chem?

    NMB IVP replied to 2Cats's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  14. How long did it take you to get ICU experience?

    NMB IVP replied to Spartan05's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Where I'm from, it's relatively easy to get a job in any ICU even for new grads. However, if you are looking for ICU experience that will get you into CRNA school, you may want to consider more than...

    NMB IVP replied to maria s's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    CCRN definitely helps your chances. That shows them that you are the real deal and don't just talk big game. I got in with a 3.48 GPA and 1030 on

    NMB IVP replied to mitch8lem's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I had two undergrad C's. I interviewed at 3 schools and everyone of them asked about my C's. I don't think that they were asking in a judgmental manner. Rather, they were trying to see how I would...
