  1. Honestly if I were younger yes. No limitations in practice, respect from other ollies. As far as being my age and going- would not re-do. Life is too short to be stressed out about debt and miss time...
  2. I went to school at 40 after working as nurse almost 20 years. Been out now 3 years.... Wish I wouldn't have done it. CRNAs are basically becoming wal mart workers and these big companies are driving...
  3. Army Reserve CRNA

    Be very careful about signing up for Army Reserve unless you are willing to deploy at any given moment. Also, if you do not get to deploy while you are in school, you will most likely deploy as a CRNA...
  4. It sounds like you will be fine for Webster. They look at GPA and the whole person. I really liked that school as I am originally from that area. Their program is EXCELLENT, but it is longer (33...
  5. I did get a Master's of Science in Nursing-Leadership (but only to help improve my cum GPA and buffer my GRE score). I re-took science classes and got A's in them, certified in Critical Care,...
  6. I have had the "experience" of having to apply more than once before I got into a CRNA program. What I can tell you is this: 1. Do your homework. Write the director of the program you are most...
  7. MSN for a low BSN GPA? (pre-CRNA)

    Not sure what state you are in, but I was in a similar area as you. I had grades from 20 years ago that were pulling my cum down. I did a MSN(Leadership, and it was actually interesting even though I...
  8. Claymor, I was also in a similar situation when I started this process three years ago. Since that time, I have completed a MS-N (with a 3.97) and retaken a science class (got an A) that I previously...
  9. RNmama3, Have you considered applying to out of state schools? I have heard that Wolford College in Naples, Florida looks at the whole person and recent work. I actually interviewed there and was...
  10. Kate, I think it would behoove you to contact the schools you are interested in and find out what they want! Each school looks at things differently. Good luck, and do not give up if this is really...
  11. Tela, Speaking as a former LPN (7 years), do not go to LPN school if your end result is CRNA. I agree with the accelerated BSN track to get you where you want faster. There's also the military to help...
  12. Very heavily clinically based! Know your pharmacology, especially Alpha Adrenergic blockers, beta Blockers, Ca Channel, Inotropes, sedatives, that sort of thing. One questions they asked me, "what...
  13. Masjoy, I know that officially they say that age is not a factor in selection, but I can tell you that it took multiple applications to find a school that wanted a "seasoned" nurse (like myself). I...
  14. KateBSNRN, You need to talk to the directors of some of the schools you are interested in. Each school has their own philosphy as to how much weight a class carries from a community college or...
  15. I too, had a "past" with my academic attempts. My GPA started out low after my initial attempts (20 years ago). I had a 3.75 GPA from my BSN (2003), and a 2.75 (1999) from my associate and a Really...
