  1. low undergrad gpa?

    clintcron replied to nursemastermike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    @wbtcrna Friends with a friend in the org. It's not very publicized at the moment, but the statistical data is out there. I have a friend that made a 1560 with a cum. 3.9, and failed out. It's about...

  2. low undergrad gpa?

    clintcron replied to nursemastermike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    @sniffy, thank the good Lord that you didn't have to take the gre. It is without doubt the greatest scam ever, and it is by no means an accurate predictor one's intelligence. It is merely a formality....

  3. low undergrad gpa?

    clintcron replied to nursemastermike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If it is any consolation, I know of a guy that is in with these stats: GPA-3.07, gre- 780, 2.5 yrs of icu, online BSN. The interview is the key. He is fortunate have gotten the interview; however, he...

  4. Are there any average pre CRNA students?

    clintcron replied to vetkinv1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I couldn't agree more with real nurse. Icu skills? Hmmmmm. When someone is crashing do you give fluids or hang a pressor because that is what you were taught, or have taken the time to learn why your...

  5. Are there any average pre CRNA students?

    clintcron replied to vetkinv1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I referee to this before. Try not to worry yourself with this. Unless your going to an enormous well-known school like case western, rush, excels, etc.... My friend has a cumulative GPA of 3.07, a 760...

  6. Organic Chem...Intro?

    clintcron replied to Hartley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    New England offers biochem online. It's 2500 for the class, no prereqs. They give you an entire year to finish it. Self-paced learning that fulfills the req for just about every

  7. Still Safe?

    clintcron replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Cool. Just giving you something to consider. It may be a personality issue or something. Regardless, as long you stag motivated, you will get there. Any questions feel free to

  8. Still Safe?

    clintcron replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    True, but they will fail you at least twice on the clinical eval. You should figure an additional 6000 for this. I know this for a fact. I'm just letting you know. Secondly, a close friend of mine had...

  9. Still Safe?

    clintcron replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    For what its worth, I do not believe the market will be saturated. A lot of new grads yes, but the profession itself has a very nice shortage still yet. You also have to remember the competitiveness...

  10. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    clintcron replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Let me set the record straight for you. Very few programs will allow an outside bachelors degree and those that do, generally require it in a science related field. I.e. chemistry, biology,...

  11. Anti-CRNA website= such B.S.!!!!

    clintcron replied to ICU, RN, BSN, B.S.'s topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Here is my two cents that I added to their blog. I'm just a lowly nurse getting set for CRNA school, but hopefully someone will read it before deciding to just believe the idiot that owns the site....

  12. Good CRNA applicant?

    clintcron replied to statABG's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Could not agree more. As for the stats. Regardless of what anyone tells you, if you do nothing else, you will get many interviews. It is up to you to kill the interview. Good luck, and know that I was...

  13. Good CRNA applicant?

    clintcron replied to statABG's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but everyone is way too concerned with the prelims. Your stats are good enough to get you into an interview with 90% of the schools available with only a one year...

  14. Excela School of Anesthesia...

    clintcron replied to josephj's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I, too, am gearing up for my interview there as well. Why did you choose Excels, and what are your

  15. Louisville, KY CRNA's?

    clintcron posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Are there any CRNA's on here from Louisville, Kentucky? I currently work at Kosair Childrens Hospital and would like to possibly shadow someone from the area. Thanks again for all you

  16. Louisville, KY CRNA's?

    clintcron replied to clintcron's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm very close to being accepted. I'm pursuing Murray state, as I prefer rural areas to practice in. I have shadowed around 100 hours so far, and know without doubt this us for me. Anything in...

  18. How many letters of reference should I send?

    clintcron replied to 37icurn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Agreed. In fact, double check with schools pd. I know a hopeful that missed the interview for sending more than what was requested. Something about not following

  19. Need advice on which career path to take.

    clintcron replied to Amy3901's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    More importantly, you will be in way over ur head without adult icu. I spent a year in the pediatric icu, and I can honestly say that crna school would have eaten me alive, clinically, had I not spent...

  20. How Many Different CRNA Schools Did you Apply for?

    clintcron replied to Hartley's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It really depends on what your looking for and what the school may offer that is comparable. Sometimes one is enough if it is an exact match for both parties. Sometimes it takes more. I would also...

  21. Online Statistics Grad Level Course???

    clintcron replied to bucknangler's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Why not pick a school that doesn't require grad school stats? Just

    clintcron replied to stevenfmurray's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Excelsior College is the way to go. If you have an accredited ADN, all you have to take is 6 nusing courses online, and an online statistics course. I am currently trudging through this program...

  24. Stats that got you in?

    clintcron posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Is there anyone who got in with only PICU experience. I am torn right now, as I have the opportunity to switch to adult cardiac ICU, or stay in the PICU for the remainder of my time before anesthesia...

  25. Stats that got you in?

    clintcron replied to clintcron's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you again for the information. I have decided that I will switch. Although, I'm in a LEGIT PICU, we still have alot of TCU patients, all of which I seem to get the most of now. I don't know if...
