Hello everyone, I am approaching the end of my third semester, and about to graduate in December. I wish to start on my prerequisites for CRNA school right away. However, I am confused about the chemistry requirements. I know the vast majority of CRNA schools require general chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and inorganic. However, it does not specify whether these courses should be taken separately such as the General Chemistry 1 and 2 series followed by the Organic Chemistry 1 and 2 series. My college offers the following course series below which seem to combine them, and I do not know whether it would satisfy the requirements. Knowing how competitive it is to enter, would it seem better on my application that I did each chemistry separately? Thank you very much for any responses you may reply CHEM 201 F Biochemistry for Allied Health 5 UnitsScience(C-ID CHEM 102)Prerequisite: CHEM 101 F with a grade of "C" or better.72 hours lecture, 36 hours lab, 18 hours problem solving and18 hours discussion per term. This course is the second semesterof a two semester sequence (CHEM 101 F and CHEM 201 F). Thiscourse is a study of organic chemistry: structures, nomenclature,reactions and functions of organic and biochemical compounds;cell structure, metabolism, bioenergetics, biochemical genetics,and mechanisms of vitamin and enzyme action. This course isdesigned for the health professions.

Hello everyone, Well, I was recently accepted to an ADN program and am excited to start my path to becoming a nurse. I plan on becoming a nurse anesthetist, but am really interested in joining the Army as an officer as a nurse anesthetist. After reading threads relating to the topic, I could't find an answer to a question regarding this situation. See, as a hypothetical new grad CRNA, if I was to join a civilian hospital, I would make maybe 125k a year for four years, including pay raises and such. However, if I was to join the Army, I would make an Officer's salary which probably won't top 100k for four years. While there is certainly other incentives,it doesn't seem to be worth the potential lost salary over these four years. While I really would love to join the Army, I can't see how it would be financially worth it. However, I would love the input of other CRNAs in the military to fill in gaps in my knowledge of this topic that I'm sure I have to tell me otherwise why the Army offers a competitive incentive to a civilian job. If anything, I'll probably do Army Reserve, although the year long deployment would still cut in salary as well. I look forward to any replies and thank you for your time.

Hello, I had a question regarding the prerequisite for CRNA programs. As I understand it, the majority want courses such as pharmacology and pathophysiology. However, some of the BSN prgeams have Pharmacology and pathophysiology as part of their curriculum as a separate 3 unit classes. Would these courses satisfy the CRNA prerequisites? Or would it be better to just take a pharmacology course from like UC Berkley extension and such? Thank you very much for any reply.

Ok, I did just that, thank you so much for the advice

Hello all, I have a few questions about the Cypress prequisites as well as the point system. I understand them, however, I have will have taken 12 AP classes by the time I'm done with high schools. Some are AP English Language as well as Composition, a foreign language, history, and psychology. My question is, will the psychology class satisfy the general psychology elective? Will my other exams satisfy the other ones like Humanities? Also, how many college classes can I do at a time and how long will it take before I'm done with the prerequisites? And on the point system, it says one point for "1 point is awarded for student success coursework (eg. cultural understanding, introduction to nursing, career planning, review courses other than GE requirements, study skills, etc.)"??? Sorry for all the questions, I just want to be able to know the time span because ultimately I want to so a Rn-bsn program and later attend crna school as soon as I can. Thank you and enjoy the Thanksgiving coming up.

Hello, I am a senior getting ready to send college applications. I have made the choice to go in the world of nursing and ultimately be a nurse anesthelogist. Now, here is where I need your advice. I understand a lot of nursing schools need me to complete pre-requisite courses in college. Here is where I can't decide the best route. One, I take them at a UC such as Irvine and then apply. The other is go to a community college and then apply. I am in a dilemna. I know I can get into a UC. Currently, I am taking six AP classes and doing more. However, I heard nursing schools don't care where you finish your pre-requisites. Is this true? If so, would it be better that I take them at a cheaper, probably easier community college rather than expensive and harder UC? It's really a pride issue as well to be honest, because I feel I worked too hard to not go to a UC. Many tell me to go because it'd be a shame for me. I want to go as well. But, if nursing schools merely look at GPA and other scores, then should I go to community college? I'm sorry for the long post and appreciate any support you ma give me. Thank you.
