There are not online crna programs. There are some programs with distance learning programs, but all require that you spend a significant period of time on location.

I personally think you should go to the STICU. A different experience will not be looked at as a bad thing. You already have the required experience from the MICU. The only thing is getting good letters of recommendation from your new boss, being tha...

It certainly wouldn't hurt, however, keep in mind that this is a way for the school to make money; and your acceptance is not guaranteed if you take the classes. There are a few other schools that out there that "strongly encourage" candidates to tak...

hello all, I just received my notice for interview request at Case Western and was wondering if any other prospective students had as well. I'm also wondering if anyone knows exactly when interviews are being conducted this year. Based on what I have...

This is supposedly the last interview for available seats. There will potentially be interviews in february/march for alternate seats.

They don't make final decisions until about April, from what I am told. Keep the faith!

Just found out yesterday I was accepted to Case Western starting in Fall of 2013. I'm very excited and nervous! Anybody else out there hear anything?

I agree with RealNurse. I would call.

Hey there, just had my interview today. Seemed to go pretty well. Everyone was very nice and welcoming. Very general questions and only one clinical question (some people get basic math questions). Just relax and be yourself. I think that is the key....

I was there on September 18th. It was an all day event, but they make it enjoyable. Start the morning with breakfast and a meet-and-greet with the faculty/staff and current/other prospective students. They give you a presentation on the school, the c...

As hard as it is to find a job these days, I don't think you did the right thing here. You can't just walk onto a unit unannounced and uninvited. I know you want to show that you are proactive and a "go-getter", but this is just unprofessional. It is...

I just finished the CCRN and passed. Personally, I would recommend getting the book from the AACN. I actually had a significant number of questions on the CCRN exam that appeared on the practice exams in the book. The Pass CCRN! CD is nice as well. I...

The GRE is not as bad as you might think. Just study hard for a month or two and you will be fine. It is a frustrating test to study for because you get bogged down in the technicalities of it. I would recommend getting the Kaplan books, particularly...

I agree with everyone else. You should apply this year. Take it from personal experience, I was in your boat last year and decided to wait. I don't necessarily regret waiting another year and getting solid CVICU experience but as the saying goes, lif...

thanks a lot for the input. I'm almost done with mine. I'll give the brief once it's complete. Thanks again!

So, I have everything assembled for my applications to anesthesia school and I am totally stumped on the admissions essays:banghead:. I don't know why I am having difficulty with this part of the process and it's frustrating the heck out of me. I don...

I would apply. Your overall GPA is a little low but if you get an A in your advanced patho class that would put the admissions committees' minds at ease about your ability to succeed at the graduate level. Having your CCRN is good as well. What kind ...

Just seeing what everyone thought of my profile to get into CRNA school for Fall 2012/Spring 2013: Experience: 2 years psychiatric (1 year full time, 1 year PRN), 1 Year MICU, Will have 18 months CVICU experience in large teaching hospital by start o...

thanks, same to you. Good luck on the GRE. Get the kaplan books and you will be fine!

Reno/Sedatetime. That makes sense and I've decided to set up some OR observation time with a CRNA. Thanks.

Just got my GRE scores today: Verbal 550 (156 revised score) Quantitative 680 (153 revised score) AWA 4.0 So that is a total of 1230 (309 revised score)/4.0 AWA. I was hoping for closer to a 1300, but I'm going to apply anyway and see what happens:)

Thanks clintcron. Just putting the finishing touches on applications. @lily. You should be fine. Just report the ranges so you have something down on paper. They should receive your scores from ETS within a few days of scheduled mailing date. Good l...

Clintcron, you are correct. And I am fortunate enough to be working in the CVICU at one of the largest hospitals in the country. My experience there, though short, has been incredible. I feel that my knowledge base has expanded exponentially due to t...

Stats look good. I'm in the same boat as you at the moment trying to build the confidence to apply for CRNA school. I just took the GRE last thursday. If you study you will be fine. Focus more on the math portion than the verbal portion would be my a...

thanks for the input. We will see how things go, I suppose.
