How do you feel about the various Dallas & Ft. Worth clinical sites in Texas? I've been considering them. What would be your top 3 picks?

BSN material was not that difficult just time consuming (bc I worked full time and have kids). What study strategy works best for YOU in CRNA school? I like flash cards but do not see this as a viable option due to the time it would take to make the...

If you do well in the BSN program and are able to have their faculty write a letter of recommendation, I feel they would look favorably on that. As far as getting in just because of your alumni status, I doubt it. Consider this: If you are a mediocre...

ejnjj143- Be sure that you're taking college chem, not just a general or entry level chem that most BSN programs require. OChem (for where I went for my BSN) required CHM 111 & 112 as prereqs and they did not count CHM 101 & 102. Just double ...

Hey DJ-SRNA,, how's the OLOL program going? I'll be applying there in a few months (hope to start Jan. 2018) and was wondering how you (and other current students) like it. Will you be getting plenty of heart & head cases?

Hey there. I'll be applying to OLOL soon and with any luck, I'll get accepted and start start January 2018. Are any of you alternates reapplying this year?

Thanks for the quick replies. I'll be getting to work on the shadowing right away. I might as well take extra classes until I get accepted. I'll start with redoing Chem II (since I had a C the first time I took it) and then maybe Bio Chem or the Stat...

My initial timeline got adjusted but I'm excited to say that I have my BSN and am studying for the GRE. I will be applying to CRNA schools this (2017) year; the application deadlines vary. I'm looking for advice on beefing up my application to be as...

Has anyone gotten into VCU without having a lot of Chemistry? I took CHM 101 & 102 (got an A in both) and would have to take CHM 111 & 112 before even being able to take a Level 200 Chem course. I am enrolling in VCU's NRSA 403 Foundations fo...

I decided against NRSA 403 & am taking a chem course every semester until I apply. By the time that happens, I should have enough to make my application more attractive. Busy, busy but it will be worth it :) Thanks for all of your responses.

I have a child who will be 2 in April. I want one more child. I plan on graduating with BSN May 2015. I would like to apply to CRNA schools following graduation. By that time, I will have approx 1.5 years ICU experience. I'll be applying to VCU &...

Continue to take Chemistry classes even after you graduate with your BSN. In the time that it takes you to gain enough ICU experience to become an attractive applicant, you can be taking one Chem course each semester & set yourself apart from oth...

From what I've been told & have read, sounds like you should take as many chemistry courses as possible. Seems like Organic Chem isn't a requirement for most schools but it's like having your CCRN- You better have it under your belt bc everybody ...

Well, I'm in CHM 111 now, plan on taking 112 this summer. Plan: take a chem course each semester until I get in. Being realistic, I will be fortunate & overjoyed if I even get wait-listed. I have come to terms with the fact that I just won't have...

My brother & his wife did the whole snow ball effect & paid off everything. They have 2 kids and he is the sole provider. They own 2 cars & a house. The only debt they have is their house. The kids have a college fund started & they p...

I have asked a university this direct question: Does my ICU experience have to be a full-time position or can it be a part-time position as long as I maintain full-time hours? The answer was: It has to be a full-time ICU position and you must maintai...

I have a 3.67 for cumulative science courses. I will be taking a Chemistry course each semester until I am accepted, hoping to plump up my application. Overall, my GPA is 3.3. I have 30 some more credit hours until completion of my BSN. I am confi...

What kind of Mathematics are required/look good for CRNA acceptance? I will have College Algebra & Stats. Should I take Pre-Cal?

VCU accepts the course as long as it is accreditied and has been within 5 years of when you would begin their program. Was it a Level 200 Chem course?

I got my LPN, then Associate RN, now working on my BSN with hopes of going straight on to CRNA school. For me, this path is working. I am able to gain experience while working on my BSN. The down side: School is much easier if that is your main oblig...

------said NRSA 403 Foundations for Medicinal Chemistry would satisfy the 200 Level Chemistry requirement. If I can have a BSN GPA of 3.5 or higher, CCRN, ALS, PALS, be active on work committees, and have 1.5 years of SICU (Level 2 Trauma Hospital) e...

For all of you who are stressing not seeing your friends and other family, just remember this: You probably felt that way in nursing school (I know I did) & before you knew it, you had graduated & caught up with everyone & hadn't missed a...
