I'm currently attending FIU.

I cannot answer to what they will and will not overlook. I do know that should you be granted an interview they will ask you to explain what you feel contributed to the low score. Retaking it is always a good idea if your performance is subpar. I had...

They'll ask a bout the GRE score in interview. Just be prepared to answer for your short comings. It's only one part of a whole person/package they are evaluating.

Yes, I am currently in a cohort. Just finished first semester distance learning. It's hard to have a real gauge bc I'm still out of state and class is currently online, but so far I enjoy my classmates and the program. The instructors are supportive ...

I got my invitation for interview on May 2nd last year. However, I was that over achiever that had my application turned in by February. I interviewed May 19th and had my acceptance letter May 31st. Hope that gives you an idea of the time line. Good ...

khalStorm, While being proactive is a very good thing, my advice is to hold off before you start taking graduate level courses since you just boarded. Take some time to focus on your new position, especially if you're new to the ICU. It can be inform...

I am currently in FIU's program and finishing my first semester. I got in with an abysmal GPA from my first Bach degree (2.45...yeah, partied a lot, hated my major, young and stupid, you get the picture). Had since then been a Pre-Med student with to...

Hello all, I have submitted my application University of South Carolina CRNA program. Is anyone else applying? Deadline is in two weeks!

I did federal loans and Grad Plus. Grad plus will lend up to the cost of school just like a private loan. Just know that with a private lender (like Sallie Mae) the school has to certify that the amount you are requesting is appropriate to the cost o...

You are definitely on the right track. Selection to a program is relative to what a program is looking for in their candidates. Each program weighs different aspects of their application and selection process differently Best bet is to contact the pr...

Applied to 3. Interviewed at 2. Accepted. Had a list of 9.

I am in the same position. No cold feet but some trepidation as Bluebolt said. My husband and I don't have kids, but we are liquidating everything we own, selling our home, and relocating across the country for me to attend school. My hubby will grad...

No one is trying to dumb down experience here. I'm sure you have gotten to see and experience great things. However, I caution you on thinking that because you've cared for a specific population of patients that all others are easy in comparison. The...

Just because someone is not recovering hearts and working in a MICU/STICU or what have you, does not mean they are not dealing with hemodynamics. Quality does make a difference per say on what and how much you learn, but at one year you're still gree...

While I respect your opinion, I too, feel that one year of ICU experience is hardly enough to understand how to care for the crashing patient appropriately. At one year you are just figuring out how to be an ICU nurse and starting to learn critical t...

Not to sound like a jerk, but for someone to have all of 90 days worth of ICU experience and be selected for a CRNA program sounds fishy to me. That's hardly enough time to be familiar with any vasoactive drips, sedatives, control of the crashing pat...

I was accepted to a DNAP program with a BA in Political Science and an ADN. I had a large amount of science classes bc I was premed for my second BS I didn't finish. So, there are options out there. FIU, TCU, Middle Tennessee, Webster. Continue to ch...

Yes. I was accepted to FIU in Miami, Florida. So big move in July. I'll start online doctoral classes in January. If you want the option of staying in OK try looking at TCU. There is a distance learning option with St Francis as the primary clinical ...

I find it odd that they are omitting the CCRN or GRE requirement as a way to vet applicants. What i can see potentially happening is a significantly small class size (which is not a bad thing), acceptance based on who you know and not merit, and an e...

Who interviewed today? How do you feel? My heart goes out to y'all in Houston. Keep on keeping on!

My two cents: Do whatever route fits you and your needs best. I was in the military myself. I left AD in 2009, got a job as a nurse tech in an ICU, got into an ADN program starting fall of 2010, worked as a tech, was in the OKANG, and double majored ...

Hello all, I am fortunate to have the amazing opportunity to begin my CRNA journey as an SRNA in January. I always welcome a challenge and I'm excited to begin a new chapter of my life. With that being said, I am terrified of graduate school. Is this...

The commitment required for CRNA school needs to be more than financially driven. Does the earning potential help? Absolutely, however, you have got to want to be a CRNA for more than the money. It is a huge time commitment for school. Most if not al...

Try all-crna-schools.com. Pretty comprehensive list and you can search by state. It links to each schools website and offers information on prerequisites and admissions criteria. I'm not sure how often the site it updated, but it is fairly recent. Go...

It was unlike any other interview I've done. Mine was a mix of "getting to know you" and clinical assessment. To me, there was more at stake with my graduate school interview than a job interview. Hope that makes sense.
