I know I am new but will someone please respond? Thanks, Brooke

Hello all! How is everyone doing today! Thank goodness the hurricane wasn't as bad as it looked/sounded. I am applying to CRNA school this winter/fall for the summer/fall 2009 year. I am applying to: *1) Baylor (Houston, TX) 2) UT at Houston (Houston, TX) 3) Texas Wesleyan (Fort Worth, TX) *4) TCU (Fort Worth, TX) *5) Kaizer Permanete (So- Cal) 6) LSU (La) 7) University of North Fl. (Jacksonville, Fl) *- these are my top 3 picks I am a BSN in a Neurosurgical ICU. I have been a RN for 1.5 years and will be a RN for a little over two once I begin CRNA school. I have experience with vents and ABGs, intraventricular drains, swans and HD, gtts, etc. I am pending a GRE. I should be taking it within the month. I am taking my CCRN in two weeks and have been using the Laura DVDs, books, and PASS CCRN questions. I'm feeling good about it. Certifications include: PALS, ACLS, BLS, NIH stroke scale by American Stroke Assoc. GPA- 3.3. I have a minor in Psychology. My letters of recommendation will be excellent. I have written an essay that my old professor said was "perfect". I am including it with all my applications... reguardless if they require an essay or not. I will also be handing in a resume to all schools. What do you think? BE HONEST because I am FREAKING! Everyone at work says I should be fine... but they know me. THANKS!!! ) Brooke :stone
