I have looked up information regarding statistics for those who have been accepted into anesthesia school and haven't found information regarding the average of grades, GRE scores, years of experiences, certifications, etc. Remember when you were ap...

Um, don't think your gpa is low. I have heard of people actually getting in anesthesia school with as low as a 2.9. Like previously said, schools are looking for a well rounded nurse, which includes a lot more than gpa.

RELAX!!!, because you won't have time relax when your in school. Congrats for you acceptance!!

Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but doesn't get you anywhere.

I know what you mean, just try to keep yourself busy.

From what I have heard, it's weird how CRNA schools pick their canidates. As long as you have over a 3.0 overall GPA and Science/Math, I think you will be alright. I know a few people who are in CRNA school with GPA's lower than 3.0, but accepted o...

Hey everyone, really need your help on this one! Was asked by another nurse if I wanted to do charge sometime. Well I told that nurse that I was uncomfortable doing charge, not because of my skill level, but because of some discrimination issues on...

Thanks for all of the advice ladies and gentlemen, I think I will go ahead and go with it. I have been doing some thinking and feel more comfortable with the ideal than I did when I post this thread. Good luck to everyone, don't give up on nursing,...

I agree with stevielynn, I would go for the loans in order to save my insanity and children. Worry about the future (paying back loans), but not so much that it drives you insane now. Life is short, live it while you can!!!!

I would stick with the hospital that you are currently working at now as long as you get mech ventilation, hemodynamic monitoring, vasoactive titration, etc. because it was make your transition easier. Also you need recommendation to apply to CRNA s...

The school I want to attend ask for physician, nurse manager, and previous instructor references. Do any of you think it would be alright to ask a resident for a reference, because that is who I mostly work with being a night nurse in a trauma I teac...

Thanks everyone, the resident is actually a senior resident, so I'll go for it.

I graduated from ODU this past august (BSN) and the entire school of nursing is very dedicated to students (including graduate school). While you are in CRNA school, there will be others who will be having a tough time and pushing each other along wi...

Don't focus on how many times you didn't pass the NCLEX, or that you just recently failed it. That's not your goal! Your goal is to pass and that is what you should focus on! Just like everyone else said, stay positive and try to take a Kaplan revie...

I've been reading this forum for about 6 months and I have seen post that have stated you must have a 3.8+ to even be considered for CRNA school as well as post that stated individuals have gotten in with 2.8's and 2.9's with good experience and GRE'...

If you have been reading this forum for a while you would realize that in earlier threads people were stating that they got into CRNA school with low gpa's. I don't know exactly when the thread was posted, but I was just wondering about people gettin...

The Kaplan review course is pretty good. I actually saw similar questions on the NCLEX. Be aware that during the review, all you do is answer question over question over question. You are expected to know the content. Kaplan just shows you how to...

Thanxs everyone for all the feedback. I now have an ideal of how to approach getting into anesthesia school.

Thanks for the info!

This might be a stupid question, but I believe in the saying that there are not stupid questions. Well anyway, what is a CV?

Individual speak of a CV when they are refering to sending some type of information with applications to schools or jobs? It sounds to me like some sort of resume or somethings. Plus, a lot of employers (especially anesthesia) ask for a CV.

Relax, I just took the nclex and people have always told me to relax, it's the anxiety that kills you during the test. Just remember that you have 5 hrs! Relax, stay focus, and remember that it's just you and the test. Let us know how you do becaus...
