  1. I agree with Esme12. You will get a much broader experience in the MICU/SICU and it would be beneficial to you as far as advancing your skills, expanding your knowledge base and preparing you for CRNA...
  2. My journey to become a SRNA.

    Where are you located? I agree, especially with my minimal ICU experience. The odds were totally against me. Like I said, I was diligent about applying to schools that I felt I had a shot at. People...
  3. You definitely wont be "disqualified" due to your lack of experience with CCRT. However, like Alpha said, it definitely adds to your application. It won't make or break you
  4. I think you made a good decision. After having gone through 6 applications, I've realized that programs don't put as much emphasis on the type of ICU you've worked in as I was led to believe. As long...
  5. Grades

    I completely agree with what you've said, but as a recent applicant, I can empathize with the wannabe SRNAs. I couldn't begin to tell you how many times I've read the same threads over and over again,...
  6. GRE scores

    I've heard a few PDs say the contrary and that there is a positive correlation between GRE scores and a SRNA's academic
  7. GRE scores

    Wow. That's fantastic. I believe that you have a great shot at getting into Drexel. You'll definitely get an interview, so it will be up to you to nail it. Good
  8. Wollford College

    FIU and UNF definitely doesn't recognize Wolford's degree because they told me so during my
  9. How do my chances look?

    Your stats are close to mine. I applied and interviewed at 6 schools, accepted at 2, alternate at one, denied at two and waiting to hear from the other. Granted, my interview skills aren't that great....
  10. They were really nice and I was definitely impressed with the interview (OLOL). I really liked that they only accepted 25 students. I will be attending MTSA, however. Despite the large class size,...
  11. I'm not surprised that they went through the entire alternate list. After the guy insulted my friend in front of a panel of 15 people and told her there's no way she's get in, he later called her and...
  12. Congrats! UAB is extremely competitive. I got into OLOL in Baton Rouge and MTSA. I had a similar experience. I interviewed at UNF on Saturday and had to be in TN on Monday. I'm just glad it's finally...
  13. I took my CCRN 9 months of being in the ICU, this past July. I'm not sure where you got your information. It's based on a certain amount of hours, which is the equivalent of one year full-time. The...
  14. Lol. Interesting that you mentioned the director @DFW. After I left the interview I told myself that I wouldn't attend if accepted (wasn't accepted) because of the PD. My friend got in and he won't be...
  15. I had one friend that heard back on Sunday and another on Monday. I haven't heard anything so I'll take that as a hint. Good
  16. Anyone heard anything from UTC
  17. Well I was assuming that I didn't get in. I'm not sure if they sent out all the acceptance e-mails on Wednesday. I applied to UNF, LSU etc. Thanks.
  18. I interviewed on Nov 23 as well. I'm pretty sure I blew it. I was so nervous. My friend interviewed on the first day and he heard back on Wednesday. Good luck to you. Did you apply
  19. This is not true. My friend's GPA is was below a 3.0 and he received interviews to 6/7
  20. My friend just got into Wolford and FIU. Cum GPA was 2.9 and last 60hrs was 3.4. He got his CCRN, and aced Stats and Chemistry recently. Anyone can get into Wolford. FIU is a pretty good school. He...
  21. NICU/ CRNA

    I would recommend that you get Adult ICU experience because most schools require
  22. Move out of state for ICU experience?

    I worked on a med-surg floor for TWO years all while attempting to start in an ICU in my area. They wouldn't even allow me to work in the ICU at the hospital I worked and it was like a level III. A...
  23. I was told by someone that was accepted on Oct 8th that the interview was more of a "get to know you" type interview. They ask about the kind of ICU that you work in and your experience there. They...
  24. Congrats guys! That's great news! What kinds of questions did they
