Hi Rnnel, I am applying to samuel merritt for next year. I am from CA. How about you? Did you apply to any other schools?

for those of you who got into UT or TCU. What were your stats? (if you don't mind sharing). I am planning to apply there next year and my stats are fairly average. Thanks!

Sorry, Missy121, I don't have enough posts to PM you back. I'm so impressed! you're so young and you already have a spot for the kaiser program. Congrats! I'll PM you about the details of my interview.

Thanks for the info, learnofjoy!

Yvonneren, did you get an interview at USC? What did you think?

Let me know how the Samuel Merritt interviews go~ I'm interested in that program and planning to apply next year! :)

Hey Missy121, if you don't mind sharing, what were your stats? I actually got an interview at Kaiser this year but didn't get accepted..

Did you also apply to NY CRNA prgrams, Missy121?

Congrats! What were your stats?

What were your stats? (if you don't mind sharing...) and congrats!

hi, i've interviewed 2yrs in a row in a CRNA program and have gotten rejected both times. I really want to be a CRNA but it's so hard to get past the interview. any suggestions??

i wouldn't pay that much money for a gre course. i would buy a few books and study consistently for 6 months focusing on the vocabulary words. Make sure you take a lot of practice exams and time yourself, bc if you don't pace yourself, you'll run out of time.. like me!

I'm having difficulty with the essay portion of my application. I know that i should be honest and write about myself and etc... but i'm stuck... Any suggestions? Please help me~

thank you all for your great advice. after careful consideration, i decided to go back to school next year instead. I will reapply to grad school next year whether it's for crna or np. i'll continue to ask some of you guys for more advice. I was in a rush to go back to school and have only had a 1.5 years of experience in the ICU. although its adequate for most grad school programs, i felt that i needed more experience. but thank you very much, i really appreciate the advice!

thank you tramaRUs~ in reply to your post 1) yes, i can quit work and go back to school full time. 2)I'm open to working in different parts of the hospital including OR 3)I have shadowed both and realize that they have different roles. i can't figure out what i want to specialize in. I can see myself as a gero NP cuz i love working with the older adults. however, i can see myself also as a crna in the OR intubating and sedating pts. i'm thinking maybe that i'll hold off on the np until later and try and get into a crna program. maybe i'll pursue gnp later on in life. traumaRUs, r u a crna? or a NP? just curious. but anyways, thank you for your reply. those questions really helped a lot.
