BSNRN

Hello everyone, I am in the process of applying to a CRNA program. I have 6 schools on my list: UPENN, RUSH, Oakland University-Beaumont, Otterbein college, Decatur/Milikin U, and University of Scranton. My question is for you CRNAs, recent grads and current students out there. How many hours of clinical practicum on average is required for graduation? I can't seem to find this info on the school websites, except Decatur/Milikin U which requires 2,400 hours of practicum.

Thank you very much to everyone who responded to my question. I appreciate your comments.

hello to all the current crna students and recent graduates out there. i am in the process of applying to start my crna schooling in 2012. the curriculums i've looked at, a lot of them are doing 12 to 16 credits per semester. what's troubling me a little is that i did not have the traditional college experience. i've been financially supporting myself since i was 17. after high school, i worked for a few years to save money for an associate nursing program. because i was paying out of pocket, i couldn't afford to take more than 3 classes (9 credits) per semester until i was finished. for my bsn, i also went part time and took 2 classes per semester. so, for all of my post high school schooling, i've never taken anywhere near 12 to 16 credits per semester and for the program curriculums i've been looking at, that's what's required! i consider myself a "b" student who works hard for "a". i have a gpa of 3.8. what i would like to know from current crna students and recent graduates is, how it is? how do you do it? how do you actually manage 5 to 6 classes and actually get a good grade? i really want to do this, i'm willing to work hard and i'm definitely not a quitter. i guess i'm just getting a bit nervous considering my situation and i'd appreciate a little insight and encouragement. thanks and good luck if you're still in it and congrats if you're done! :-)
