I'm coming from Houston, but I started my nursing career at Hartford! I just made a group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/998618974064243

@icurn2521 and @alyss_rene I was also accepted! Where are yall from? We should take a look into making a facebook group to keep in contact! @MRicu Stay positive! Have you applied elsewhere?

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many interviews they are doing this cycle?

Thanks for all the responses/advice! My BSN degree was through an accelerated program. During my last year in school, my mother got very sick (requiring open heart surgery), and other personal/family issues immediately followed. Although I was able to perform well my last two semesters (after my mothers health improved and family issues got sorted out) my first couple of semesters of nursing courses already dragged down my GPA. Granted I probably wouldn't be able to explain all of that in my application, but I thought maybe pursing a masters degree, and doing well, might show that I'm able to handle a rigorous CRNA program!

Thanks for the comments! I was still planning on working in the ICU. I was thinking I would work full time and do NP part time. The program I'm looking at in particular is UT Health Science Center in Houston. It is pretty affordable, and they have a NA program as well. I thought that if I graduated from one of their graduate programs, it would look pretty good on my application.

Hey everyone! I currently work in a CCU and looking to advance my education. I graduated with a BSN and a 3.2 cumulative GPA. I have always wanted to become a CRNA, but have become discouraged with my GPA. I have been considering applying to an affordable online NP program while working, to help give me an edge on competition. Will going back to school for an NP degree help my chances of getting into a CRNA program? Has anyone done this before, and/or what would be your advice? What would you recommend doing in addition/instead to help my chances of getting into a CRNA program Thanks in advance!!

Hey guys, I am a first semester student at UTMB and I just happened to end up on this page! Congratulations to all of you that have been accepted, I think that UTMB is a great school, and I have enjoyed my time here so far. As far as dress code goes - For clinical, they want you to have either black or white shoes, that are LEATHER and NON POURUS. For lab they really don't care what kind of shoes you have on - Be sure to bring nice/professional clothes! They really push for everyone to dress professionally because there are potential employers walking around campus all the time! You want to look nice, especially for the first day because they take your ID photos and your graduation photos! If you guys have any more questions, I can try to help you out the best I can! Good luck to all of you!!
