  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...

  2. UPenn CRNA 2012 University of Pennyslvania

    bloomRN replied to AggieNurse12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey BrymanRN, Sorry to take so long to answer your question regarding who is in chage of class approval. I looked at my old emails and the person I emailed about this is Andrea. Her email address is...

  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...

  5. UPenn CRNA 2012 University of Pennyslvania

    bloomRN replied to AggieNurse12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hi brymanRN, Congratulations on getting accepted! Oh, and congratulations on your soon to be addition to the family, exciting times for you and your family! To answer a few of your questions:...

  6. Anyone got accepted to CRNA school with a low GRE score???

    bloomRN replied to nurse_crna2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My GPA cumulative was a 3.48 and my BSN GPA was a 4.0 At the time I was accepted I had 2 years of ICU experience in a non-specialized ICU where we took medical, surgical, trauma, and anything...

  7. importance of prereq's???

    bloomRN replied to 17innswood's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Cool! Congrats, and good

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

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

    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,...

  9. importance of prereq's???

    bloomRN replied to 17innswood's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    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...

  10. A Blessing and Maybe A Curse

    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

    I think it is best not to focus on the qualifications of others who gained acceptance. Instead, it would be more valuable for you to focus on what the schools you plan to apply to like to see in an...

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

    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...

  14. shadow exp

    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...

  15. Advanced Pharm or Patho online course Pre CRNA application?

    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...

  16. help with letters of recommendation

    bloomRN replied to missnurse01's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It is true that many programs will simply spell it out for you and require letters from specific people (like a direct supervisor, a peer, etc.) But, if your program does not do that for you pick some...

  17. Anyone got accepted to CRNA school with a low GRE score???

    bloomRN replied to nurse_crna2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    If that is the program you really want to attend, then I recommend applying anyway. Often the admissions committee is willing to overlook one weakness on an application if other aspects are...

  18. Is it possible to be accepted into CRNA school without the CCRN?

    bloomRN replied to Education=Success's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with morificeko...I don't think I would tell them you are taking the CCRN exam unless it is an actual requirement for the program at which you are interviewing. I interviewed at 3 programs,...

  19. Anyone applying to Drexel, Excela, Villanova, or Tornetta for 2013?

    bloomRN replied to SRNA4U's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I noticed that you included Excela in your list of programs and since I interviewed at that program fairly recently, I thought I might offer some information that may be helpful. First, you should...

  20. UPenn CRNA 2012 University of Pennyslvania

    bloomRN replied to AggieNurse12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Elk280: you can disregard my previous question about whether those classes were approved for transfer credit at PENN. I just found out from an advisor that "another student submitted the syllabi for...

  21. UPenn CRNA 2012 University of Pennyslvania

    bloomRN replied to AggieNurse12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey elk280 I was wondering about the classes you said you are taking early at Liberty University Online...Did you get those classes approved for transfer credit already? I have been emailing an...

    bloomRN replied to AggieNurse12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My name is Jeremy and I am in New Mexico, but am moving to Philadelphia early December to start taking classes in

  23. UPenn CRNA 2012 University of Pennyslvania

    bloomRN replied to AggieNurse12's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I officially decided to attend UPenn, so I will see you all there in May! Is anyone planning to take some classes early? If so, which ones and where are you taking them (if not at UPenn)? I plan to...

  24. TJU or UPenn

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

    Sorry, allow me to correct my previous post from earlier today. I forgot that UPENN allows you to transfer two classes in from other institutions (as long as the curriculum is approved in advance)....

  25. TJU or UPenn

    bloomRN posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    So, I have been accpeted to Thomas Jefferson University and the University of Pennsylvania for CRNA school! Now, the challenge of deciding which program is the best for me and my family...I was...
