putmetosleep...... First, you are not alone. I start in August too and I am on the upswing of what you are going through. I began to doubt myself, my abilities, started thinking "I am crazy for doing this." I almost wanted something to happen to p...

:deadhorse That's just crazy! Who would do the anesthesia? MDA's? Not cost effective and not enough of 'em. AA's? Doubt that too.

I have saved up enough money to pay for school but I will accept the Stafford loans just incase I need the money. I could probably get by without loans and just live off my husbands income but it would be a struggle and I just don't want to have tha...

I start in August...... I'm 41.

Hi, I haven't even applied yet but saw that no one answered your post so here it goes: Its impossible to predict how well you will do in CRNA school without knowing what kind of student you are. I don't think your age will prevent you from getting in...

Monroe.... woo hoo!

Sorry to "high jack" the thread! Ok,....just wondered what your interview experience was like. BTW, PM is a private message. You have to have contact information, and can do that in your profile if you like. Thanks!

Great, can you give me any insight on your interview/observations about your experience with OLOTL?

SCRNA 3851, I wanted to ask you a couple of things about OLOTL. You don't have contact info; would you mind sending me a PM? Thanks!

$12,000? What school are you going to Divergirl?

...that is completing their RN-BSN? I've read several places that it doesn't hurt to apply before you are finished. Some have said in the interview they were asked if their BSN would be completed before the CRNA program starts but I haven't heard if ...

Didn't think they were ungrateful and that was not my intent at all. BB, if you haven't already, look at this recent thread. It might give you some tips. https://allnurses.com/forums/f227/how-survive-anesthesia-school-220608.html rad

BB, I'm not a CRNA so I can't help with success tips but I found your post interesting. A low B is still a B and I don't consider that squeeking by in CRNA school. I'm sure it is hard and even very frustrating at times but it really sounds like you...

I'm sooo new here but from what I have read, the ones that take the last 60 hours also take into consideration the nursing GPA and science GPA. So the "Basketweaving 101's" probably won't hold much water (no pun intended:). That's just my take from s...

I've spent a bit of time scanning this board and taking in lots of good info. I ran across a post about the UAB Jackson program. I looked at UAB's website but haven't uncovered anything about Jackson, MS. Can anyone tell me about this as Jackson i...

Wow, some of these programs require you to apply so far before the course starts. I've been an RN for 17 years, 7 years in ICU, CCRN, and in the middle of a RN to BSN program. I've been in interventional radiology (also certified in that, CRN) for a ...

That sounds great! Thank you so much.

Thanks for the response and congradulations on your progress. Basic question, what is a "front loaded program"? Amy

How long does it take to do didactics? I'm not a MS resident, live in NE La, so I will have out of state fees. Otherwise, Baton Rouge and NO would be closest to home for me, Jackson is much closer. Thanks mrmike!
