Thanks. Fullerton's online application does not inspire confidence. What's the point of filling out an online application if you have to then cut and past it into Word and then print it out and mail it to them. It seems like a process problem here...
How did you figure out the print problem. The directions say to print each page prior to submission and when I try to do this I get garbage from the printer. What is the secret?

I am not yet a SRNA, but I assume from reading the boards that 4 hours of travel time would be too much. You might look into doing what my mom did when getting her MSM (at a school about 2 hours from home); rent a cheap apartment and go home a coupl...

I'm really surpised that they contacted the references. I guess I always thought that was just a pro forma part of the application package. I guess I thought it was too big of a chore for the admisions department with the numerous application packa...

You current size is fine. A good share of my female collegues of Asian heritage seem to be right around your height and weight. The size is also okay for CRNA. A year or two ago we had a female ICU fellow who was about 4'10" and she seemed to do o...
The one way it might hurt you is with regard to your references. A lot of schools seem to want one letter from you current nurse manager. If you just have a year or so to go till you go back to school, then if it were me I'd stay put at your curren...

I ended up getting a positive response and am interviewing in September. Does anyone have a feeling about how the Wolford interviews work? It was my general impression that they were fairly low key/informational. Also any ideas what percentage of p...

I would also concur in the suggestion to use the Laura Gasparis Von Frolio books/tapes. Several years ago I spent 2-3 months listening to her tapes on the way to and from work, and used her review booklet. Prevously I had purchased one of those tho...

I think we are getting bogged down in "nurse think" that tries to divorce economics and health care. That somehow it is wrong to want to be have a good paying job. From what I understand of CRNA school, those that go and in for a rough/challenging ...

Just looking at the various CRNA schools websites, at least one-quarter of the schools do not require the GRE (or will waive it for those with a prior master's degree).

I would concur wit the above poster. The CRNA school rankings are all very subjective at best. I have been reading internet articles on how some graduate schools (not specifically talking about CRNA programs) are gaming the system to improve their ...

I have a few more posts to go until I can PM someone. I've been in nursing 10+ years. I'm currently working in a busy public hospital in Los Angeles. I'm sure part of my anxiety is that I'm more than ready for a change of pace, and while I think I'...

Did you do any email correspondence with them? I've sent them a couple of emails (which have yet to be responded to) asking if they rec'd my transcripts, etc. My thinking that this would be less bothersome than a phone call for them. However it lo...
