Actually i am graduating in december. Need to get your application in now for 08.

That is correct, GPA greater than 3.0 no GRE. Buffalo has it's plus and minuses like every program. Some schools have trouble getting minimum requirements in certain types of cases and this is not one of them. You definitely get your numbers. So overall yes I would recommend the school.

Where do you live that you can't find jobs as a nurse?

I think the more chemistry the better but I think you need, bio, organic and inorganic to be well rounded. Physics is definitely a plus as well.

U of buffalo--Interviewed, selected, attending MHRI--Interviewed, selected, declined Bryan LGH--Turned down interview Georgia--Turned down interview Fransiscan skemp--Interviewed, declined

I don't think GPA is the only factor. I think the total package is more important. I heard of a school who accepted a student with a 2.7 gpa even though they wanted a 3.0. He just happened to have the other things they were looking for.

All of the schools I interviewed at were more concerned if I could critically think than "how much" experience I had with swans. In fact one school asked if our hospital still even used PA catheters. So I don't think it should hurt you much if any

In most cases in utah and other states I have worked. Most of the docs prefer NP's because they have more than two years of medical background and have learned time managment and to deal with crisis. Either way you really can't go wrong but the NP does give you more freedom

Actually I don't think its that uncommon for a women to request a male nurse. I have had a couple female patients they prefer male nurses because they are more patient and caring

A year of med/surge would be valuable. However, working one year in a small ICU would be valuable and then you would have a head start into a big ICU in a year.

By the time you get loans for housing, school (out of state tuition) you can plan on more than 160,000 dollars.

I actually had several physicians both pulmonologists and MDA's encourage me to go to CRNA school versus medical school. One put it by the time he pays off his 400,000+ worth of student loans it really won't be worth it. He figures he will be 50 before he surpasses the income of coal miners and nurses who were working why he was trying to get through school.

I too was accepted at the university of buffalo. See you all soon. Is anybody planning on taking a few of the classes early during the summer. Congratulations and good luck to the rest of you

Thanks if you hear anything please let me know. I am looking forward to going to interview there I would just really like to know what to expect. Have you applied yet?

If you happen to talk to them will you ask what kind of questions they ask. Would have sent this to you private email but I can't get it to work. Thanks. I have heard a lot of good things from that school. Daniel
