Hello to all. I will graduate with my BSN this May. I have been working as an extern in a busy CCU (almost all ventilated pts., many vasoactive gtts, Swans, etc.) for 6 months and have accepted a job there when i graduate. I am aware that several variables affect getting accepted into a nurse anesthesia program. My question to you SRNA's / CRNA's is how dependent is grade point average alone in determining acceptance into a program. I feel that is my weakness. My cumulative GPA is a 3.12. I have a great respect and interest for the field of nurse anesthesia and was considering starting to apply at 1 year. I plan to apply at several schools. Any input on my chances of getting accepted is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. :wink2:

Adderall PRN is drug of choice among my collegues who have the same prob... They say it works very well.... Best of luck to you...

From my personal experience they do. Our class at the end of med-surg 1 was approximately 60 students, give or take a few. Well the comprehensive final comes around, let's just say it was extremely challenging. Rumor has it that it was constructed by the dean himself, not the instructor. Well that final cut our class in half when it was time to go into med-surg 2. Approximately 30 students passed the class, half of what we started with and jus about the size of a typical grauating class. Interesting.....

again I would reccoment tech program. I just got hired as an extern in the CCU. It also makes the transition from student nurse to RN much smoother. Best of luck.
