1. Chances? Wait 1 or 2 years to apply?

   bloomRN replied to tsicuRN1's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I don't think you have any reason to wait and apply later. Your experience, certifications, and GPA all sound more than adequate to be a good candidate. I think you should definitely apply. In the...

3. Not Including all Transcripts on CRNA Application

   bloomRN replied to AngelPower's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I agree that your best option in this situation (and in any situation in my opinion) is complete and total honesty. Were I on the admissions committee I would consider such honesty and integrity a...

4. Should I take the CCRN?

   bloomRN replied to RN2784's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

   I think that depends on the programs you are applying to. I would ask or find out what they like to see in a competetive applicant. I interviewed at three programs and only one of them asked if I was...

8. Large teaching hospital vs. Community hospital ICU experience- Chances of getting in?

   Hey rcon, Ofcourse I don't mind sharing...at the time I was notified that I was accepted I had 1 year of med/surg and 2 1/2 years of ICU nursing experience. I am not suggesting that this is the norm,...

   Don't have an answer for you since my program starts in June as well (actually late May). But, I am taking a few non-anesthesia classes early and can share my thoughts on them...I am currently taking...

    bloomRN replied to BxRN0808's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can understand your dilemma. I struggled with the same situation you are currently struggling with. I was accepted into a CRNA program that will begin this summer, but would require that I move my...

11. how to get into CRNA school

    bloomRN replied to ginaw623's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    bloomRN replied to rcon's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I KNOW you don't have to work in a Level 1 Trauma Center to gain acceptance to CRNA school. I know this because I was accepted to multiple programs and the only hospital I worked at was a Level 3 that...

13. Youngster

    bloomRN replied to HopefullLPN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't think your age will be much of a factor at all. I think maturity level is more important than age, and the fact that you know what you want to do, and are willing to do what is required to...

    bloomRN replied to sedation_season's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The answer to this question depends upon the schools you will be applying to. I had one school that requested documentation of shadowing time. All the other schools simply asked if I had shadowed...

    bloomRN replied to scanderson1987's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I don't know much about online Pharm or Patho courses...do you mean classes that would transfer for CRNA school, or are you re-taking under grad Pharm and Patho courses? If you want them to transfer...
