Congrats agil! What a relief, huh?

Fawn, every good CRNA has told me that school makes you a safe, competent CRNA, regardless of the cost, prestige, clinical components, or length of program. Only experience out in the work force can make you a GOOD CRNA. I would question any program director who stated that their program churns out not only safe and competent practitioners, but also GOOD ones at that. Excela Health accepted me yesterday so I'm probably going to decline Bloomsburg.

Hey StatABG, did you get a call today? I did and am accepted...w00t!

psu2014 Thanks for that info. Clears a few things up, but I would still love to hear from fawn firsthand what precipitated the switch out of Bloom. Thanks!

Mine's on October 9th. Anyone else going? Does anyone have advice, tips, recommendations for the critical care exam to be given during the interview? Thanks!

Hey TWU students and hopefuls, I am soliciting opinions on GRE scores and this program. I want to get into this program at the Denver site (where I currently live) and am preparing my resume and CCRN study so the odds are in my favor. Here are my GRE scores: 155 math, 163 verbal. I'm sure the analytical section will be at least a 4.0 but I haven't received that score yet. Is this a good number for TWU and how heavily do they weigh in GRE scores? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Anyone else from Denver applying? Thanks!

Fawn, if you read my earlier post, I am referring to my awesome BSN program. If I had been in BU's CRNA program, why would I be asking about the program and interview? I'm still curious why the school sucks so bad in your opinion...how do you know 50% of the class failed boards? Were you making good grades yet still felt like you wouldn't pass the boards? How did the clinical aspect stack up compared to the didactics? More details! I'm still going out to interview in November to see for myself. So far you are the only student raising up disparaging first hand info. All the other comments amount to hearsay. Thanks!

I spoke with someone at BU about 3 weeks ago regarding interview details. The only word I got out of her was "informal". Whatever that means, right? I also heard somewhere they have a critical care exam following the interview. Any further information would be appreciated. My interview is November 2. RhinoRocketRN and kup6, I'm curious what your backgrounds are. Care to share?

Hey all, I'm applying this fall. I'm taking the GRE even though my GPA is above 3.0. Is this necessary or could it turn south if I bomb it for some reason? I'm selecting Denver, Salida, and Ohio as my clinical sites, in that order of preference. I'll go wherever, though. I have 2 years MICU experience, 3.86 GPA, just took Biochem and got an A+, taking CCRN hopefully right before the interview (if I get one!). My colleagues think this is more than satisfactory. What does everyone here think? I worked with a CRNA who graduated from TWU and she loved it. She told me the interview was very intense and technical, with the committee grilling her on CCRN topics. Has anyone heard different? Good luck to everyone, regardless where you are applying!

Vague at best. a "few" SRNA's? other students with the same problem? Sounds like my accelerated BSN program. We had a "few" drop out, and others had problems with the NCLEX. To me, it was an awesome program. Does anyone have any objective feedback about BU's program?

So where is the info on their board pass rates?

Hey all, did anyone apply for BU's CRNA program? They pushed the deadline up 3 months and it left me scrambling to get all the materials together. I received an email from the admissions coordinator and was told 32 applications were submitted (for 12 spots). Does anyone have any info regarding the interview process, ie. is it more professional or clinical in nature, formal/informal, etc.? This is my first app. in this year so I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! Happy 4th to everyone.
