    Should I keep applying?

    fourthtimesacharm replied to RedRider85's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    definitely give up now. kidding. Look. How bad do you want to be a CRNA? This is not an easy road, by any means. If you don't want to take the GRE, don't. Plenty of schools don't require...

    Shadowing Experience

    fourthtimesacharm replied to MHerron's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I ended up contacting a school I was interested in applying to and they let me shadow in their ORs. It cost me some travel $, but I made it into a mini vacation and it was a great

    I know I am jumping the gun a bit-so to speak since the application deadline just passed and they don't typically send interview invites out until January for February interviews, but I thought I'd...

    fourthtimesacharm replied to S3682's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I agree with BigPappa! I started applying at the one year mark (just to one school) the next year I applied to two schools, managed to get a waitlist but not in, next year I applied to 6 schools and...

    A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

    fourthtimesacharm replied to RN_2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I hear you. My family stayed in our home, and I moved to go to school-thankfully I am in a master's program. But I will still be 27 mo away from my spouse and kids. Being a CRNA was really what I...

    A rant and a question re: CRNA master’s program

    fourthtimesacharm replied to RN_2001's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I really don't think it is going to affect anything. Most people will just buckle down and do the 3 years if they really want to do NA. I guess it just depends on how bad you want it. I agree with ICU...

    fourthtimesacharm replied to TraumaRN-CRNA2020's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    There ARE schools that look more at the whole person, instead of primarily GPA. So you need to find the school that is looking for students like you. all-crna-schools.com has a spreadsheet you can...

    fourthtimesacharm replied to Djmoulin's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think it depends on the support system you have, other than your husband. If you have people willing and able to help out, it's only a little crazy

    You'll have access to all the required books in digital form, but if you prefer real books, I would recommend buying Nagelhout, Morgan and Mikhail and maybe Stoelting. I do all of my studying, notes...

    Don't be discouraged. If this is something you want--go for it! We have a few people in our class that were accepted with lower GPAs. I agree with the last post too. When you are ready to start...

    Masters vs DNP?

    fourthtimesacharm replied to sicurnccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That is a much different question! The only advantage doing the DNP upfront is not having to get accepted into another program after you finish your master (at least this is a plus for me) and time,...

    Masters vs DNP?

    fourthtimesacharm replied to sicurnccrn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    This debate is quickly going away. Everyone will be DNP/DNAP by 2021, which means next year's application cycle. Many of the programs are currently interviewing/accepting to their last masters program...

    fourthtimesacharm replied to MexicanFNP's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Honestly- depends on how smart/how good your memory is. If you are a genius with photographic memory- go for it. If you are like the majority of CRNA students: smart but need to study: don’t count...

    There are a handful of schools that don't require a BSN, and a few more that prefer a BSN but will consider your application depending on what your bachelor's degree is in. I was looking into it for a...
