The GRE is not bad, you need to just take the general one. Mercer wants you to get a 1000 at least. They have an open house info session once or twice during the year to watch there website for that. When I was at the info session this is what they said about the GRE and GPA. They said, "we ideally want you to have at least a 1000 on the GRE and a 3.3 GPA to be competitive but they counter balance eachother. So if you have a higher GPA your GRE can be lower and still be competitive and visa versa (sp?)" not and exact quote but the jist of what they said. I had a 1170 on the GRE (which some consider high) and a GPA of 3.94. I had an interview with Mercer and MCG but cancelled them after I got into another school. Also Mercer seems like a great choice but be warned that their office people are idiots (IMO) because they lost parts of my application packet twice. THe lost a letter of reccomendation (which is very difficult to resubmit) and they lost my GRE scores with are sent directly from the testing company SO BEWARE. ANother girl i interviewed with at another school had the same thing happen with her packet too...

ok license in hand by august, when could you view the number on the BON website?

Its all semantics... lets stop sniveling about what were are called and just do our jobs as nurses. You guys can be such girls at times.

Thanks for all the responses. My thought are actually that I dont want a DNP or DNAP, I actually would like to get a PhD in Neuroscience. That being said do you think it would be better to go toa school where I will get a MSA? Oh and to clarify I am refering to MSN CRNA vs MSA CRNA.

Whats are the pros and cons of both a masters in nursing or masters in anesthesia

4.0 im in my second semester of nursing school and it looks like I will keep it this semester.

testicles... and with those a completely different perspective and outlook, at least you should. But on a serious note: write about your skills, experiences etc. and dont give the dusty old because I care crap. For example I wrote about my experiences in the military which have nothing to do with the medical field.

along the same lines. What about listening to the heart at the PMI??

Why become a CRNA (other than compensation). What are the other perks a details that draw people to this profession?

ever taken a Lifespan Development course?

Don't listen to all the other recommendations :) get the Zebra F-301. Its a great pen, write great, feels great and looks professional to boot! Get it!

Yea I applied for about 6-7 scholarships in my Nursing program and all they gave me was a service cancelable loan. Oh and I have a 4.0. does this seem weird to anyone else?

Georgia Southern start this fall!

0$ actually I made about 40k going to school. Got to love the GI Bill plus Army college fund!

Congrats! i'm also doing the 4.0 Thank Goodness I haven't lost it yet dance!
