I know you all are busy, so thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read and respond! I am planning to apply to CRNA programs starting this summer, and the earliest I would start would be Jan 2011 (latest would be Jan 2012, assuming someone accepts me). My stats are good (1500 GRE, 4.0 nursing/3.8 cumulative) and I'll have 3 years of experience when I start. I'm taking my CCRN in March, and then that will be out of the way (assuming I pass). The last requirement that I have to meet is to take PALS. What else can I do? I want to be as prepared as possible when I start. I took a grad level stats class last semester, and now I'm taking a lab chem. Work pays for my classes, so I'll take whatever will be the most helpful. It's tough to get into grad courses as a non-degree seeking students where I live (plus not all the schools I'm applying to accept transfer credit), so unless things change only undergrad courses are available to me. What do you wish you'd brushed up on before you started? Organic? Physics? Anything in bio? Math? Or is it better just to enjoy my free time, or to work as much OT as possible? I guess I'm trying to figure out how much of the hard sciences you actually use as an SRNA, and if it's really worth it to spend the time and energy on non-required courses. If it is, I'm all for it. Any advice would be welcome, thank you!
