  7. Steps to become a CRNA?

  8. Steps to become a CRNA?

    My sister is a PharmD. Her pay continues to rise as CRNAs are stagnant or declining (in many areas). Her vacation time and benefits are better throughout her job changes (chain store to private to...
  9. Part-time opportunities for CRNA's?

  10. Part-time opportunities for CRNA's?

  13. Am I screwed?

    You have a lot of proving yourself to do. I would probably go the extra mile... take graduate classes, or even complete a graduate program (we have a couple NP > SRNA's in my class) to show you can...
  14. Upon completion of Organic Chem, GRE writing and CCRN, you'll exceed the minimum requirements. This means interviewing with at least one school. Acceptance, as you touched on, is dependent on your...

  16. Should I apply now or wait?

    Sorry. You look average. Your GPA is 'satisfactory' with a lot of questionable occurrences. This is not to say people have gotten in with lower grades, but a 3.4 alone will not make you stand out....
  17. I think you are planning accordingly. Larger cities in Texas are starting at 115-120 pretty consistent. Not sure if rural is better or not. In the long run it should be beneficial. You should remember...
  18. Denied by patient

  25. You want to know if your practice or experience will be restricted in a certain area. Look to see if the state is "CRNA friendly". Then look at schools clinical sites. You can search to see if you...
